550 BC
- Switched to Literature in the hopes of building the great library. Our civilization is way behind in technology, and we are not large enough to support a Monarchy yet.
510 BC
- Greece begins construction of the Great Library. We have two wonders already underway, and will beat them once Literature is available.
410 BC
- Zulus finish the Pyramids 7 turns ahead of us...
350 BC
- Literature! 8 turns til we finish the Great Library! Map making in 13 turns.
330 BC
- Sent settlers to build a new city next to the spice, and beat Greek settlers by 1 turn! Ha!
- Right of Passage treaty signed with our mighty neighbor. We explore beyond and meet the Egyptians.
310 BC
- Archers die of disease in jungle, remainder pulled back to new border cities. Warriors explore to the west.
- Heavy trading of gold and maps for contact begins. We now have contact with Russia, France, America, Zululand, Persia, Japan and India. Time left to research map making drops in half.
290 BC
- France builds the Great Library! Dammit!
- We complete the Colossus and Oracle in following years.

- Chinese galleys take to the seas.
90 BC
- Land discovered both East and West! Horses to the west!! No civs in sight!!!
30 BC
- IRON next to horses!!!!!
10 AD
- End of my reign.
DONSIG - PAY ATTENTION!
Tsingtao - Settler and spearmen ready to board galley finnished next turn. For Horses! A library should be started, the colossus is there.
Xiazhou - Settler almost done, spearmen escort waiting. For iron!
Macao - Building harbor to link up new continent. First improvement in new overseas city should be a harbor.
Tatung - Right next to Delphi, has our spice. As soon as it gets to size 3, rush temple! We dont want to lose our spice to culture flip.
There you go, the rest is up to you. Lots of exploring to do.
I recomend we go Republic after building libraries and markets. We are very far behind.
Persia is building Hanging Gardens, France & Japan the Great Wall.
We are closing in on currency, getting close to chivalry...

New worlds to explore in a new mellinium.

YAY! Iron and Horses! Better get that city protected...
I guess my plan wasn't needed...
But for a good reason! Now you can crush the Greeks and get their stuff! Yay!
I wonder how this game will turn out... Considering we have a game full of warmongers...
BTW, I have a confession to make. Remember way back, in the German game, when on my turn the Russians declared war? They didn't. I attacked them!

Let's get that island to the west and swamp it with our cities. 
Remember to ship some workers too to build roads to those resources.
What about the island to the east???

Skip me when my turn comes up unless I post otherwise. I do not want to drop out of this game but for this round I will not get to play because my house was vandalized today. Needless to say I am not happy. I am leaving now to go punch a few holes in the wall. Goodbye

That's fine by me Toasty. Just make note of the points joespaniel made above! I'll play my turns after Toasty (probably in the morning).
In a very bloody coup, Generalissimo of the toasted marshmallows (my sn is a high school nickname, okay?), Toasty, took a grab at the despotic throne of China at the end of the 10th year A.D. After the loss of the Gonzo & Ohwell dynasty lines, Toasty is able to put a firm hand over China. Unfortunately, Joespaniel did such a good job in prep that he doesn't use his power to do much .
10 A.D.: Excellent condition, however our culture seems to be lacking. More temples and libraries to come.
30 A.D.: Tsingtao completes another ship for the Chinese fleet and a harbor is planned. In a long-term note, we should definitely consider naval prowess over military prowess as we are on a long, skinny peninsula...Tsientsin is started on a temple, and Generalissimo Toasty considers switching to Monarchy from Currency in the grab for the Hanging Gardens. Colosseum started in Beijing, and I trade 28 gold for Egypt's territory map. They're low-population and spread out...not a good way to be in my humble opinion. The "ma haijun" (for those who don't recall KD's Chinese tutorial, that would be "horse navy") leaves Tsingtao for the horses on our little peninsula.
50 A.D.: Did the Greeks have Ephesus on that desert strait before I started? At any rate, Shanghai completes its temple and as a result of the sudden appearance (or notice) of Ephesus to fill that culture gap. The "ma haijun" docks but does not unload near the horse tile. Waiting for the opportunity to whip up some of them temples...
70 A.D.: Nanking completes its library and is put on a harbor. I'm hellbent on the navy idea, never played a mostly naval civ, might be fun. The "ma haijun" lands and the ships are sent to Macao to await the settler from Xiazhou. After more exploration, our empire could really find its wealth in the surrounding mini-continents. NO WORLD MAP TRADING!! GOT IT?! Interestingly enough, we have a LARGER army than our feared nemesis, Alexander. Larger is not synonymous with better, however...
90 A.D.: Wow! I bullied Alexander out of 60 gold. We could keep on bullying him for money since he has an itty-bitty military. Be careful not to push it though, he's on cautious now. Shantung founded right on the horse tile. First project: Harbor. 20 turns. ANOTHER Iron source is found NW of Shantung, on the same mini-continent.
Anyways, I gotta get some sleep, so I'm done for tonight. But I'm not done with my turns. See you tomorrow.

Yep, let's occupy those islands.
Have we decided where to put the second capital? I favour somewhere south on the Greek border, so that when those Greek cities are ours, they'll be productive. Maybe we shld hold off on a decision until we have absorbed all of Greece.
Seems like we're gonna have a solid game.

Of course, with this group of players, there is no other type of game we could have.
I was just posting to confirm that I will be there for the next turn of mine. Let's expand and kick a little @$$.- Joined

why do the forests look different in your version?

Are you sure you aren't looking at the jungle tiles?

No I am sure, the trees in my forests do look smaller, and individual trees are not as defined, but rather are in a mass of biomass.

Toasty - I seriously hope you did NOT switch research to Monarchy, we need marketplaces if we are going to be a Republic.
The Hanging Gardens are a limited wonder, compared to the Sistine Chapel which does not expire. And J.S. Bachs. *hint*
I agree we need more culture, but build libraries first instead of temples. We have 3 luxuries, so happiness isnt a problem. Yet.
We are way behind in science. France and Persia are kicking our @$$ hard. Once we are a republic, things will start to turn around.
Take all of Alex's gold for me. That little bastard wouldnt give me the time of day during my turn. 
Untill I made friends with everyone else, then he started being oh, so nice.

Im sure there will be some conflict in this game eventually, but it does seem this will be more of a diplomacy game. Thats fine with me, too.
Trade and alliances will be important. I am in favor of sucking up to Persia, they always have the biggest military. They could be a usefull pawn...er, I mean, ally.
EDIT: Lets save the Forbidden Palace for a little while and see if oportunity knocks.
It would go very nicely in the heart of Greece...

I think temples should take priority over libraries in prep for Republic (I guess I didn't realize we were planning on going Republic), seeing as I always have a hard time getting those whiney citizens happy . I mean, we can't very well build libraries if all our citizens are entertainers (considering by the time we are a Republic we'll be heading full steam for science, right?).
I'll get on it in a couple hours. I have to play some Diablo with my little brother for now so it'll be awhile

We have 3 luxuries. And we are lagging in science. Thats why I thought libraries, but its your show. Do as you will.
To all players:
I am kicking around the idea of starting a 2nd German game, but at much higher difficulty level. If anyone is interested, let me know, but I warn you, it wont be pretty...
Now, on with the Chinese game! Lets get those riders! Woo-hoo!
