Succession LK 11 - English, anybody plays.

[LKendter]

Pre-turn
Switch London to Pyramids. Probably to late, but I would prefer the AI not have it. Won't help us a lot.
Switch Qwglm to settler. We need a town to build the Great Lighthouse.
Whip a settler out in Persepolis - it is hopeless corrupt.

1000 BC - Blow away a barb camp. I suspect we will see a lot of these until we get more cities. A barb horseman kills our spearman - costing us a raid of 57 gold
975 BC - Blow away a barb camp. Why does this sound familiar? York is formed - our first coastal city. Instant growth via a worker.
925 BC - Blow away yet another barb camp. Start mapmaking - we need galleys and the GL.
900 BC - Well it is confirmed - we are isolated on an island.
750 BC - Yet another destroyed barb camp.
650 BC - Nottignham is formed - lousy location for now, but it will have production and is a coastal city.
Summary - Once map making is completed - Nottingham to galley. York to Great Lighthouse. We need to get off this island!

570BC - Pyramid completed in Paris. London switch to temple.

550BC - Eliminated Celt barbarian near former Pasargadae.

470BC - Settler in Presepolis completed, switch to temple for the moment. Settler send to former Susa site for another new coastal city.

450BC - Settler completed in London. Sending settler to settle near horse just outside London border.

430BC - Hasting founded at former Susa site.

410BC - Canterbury founded at SE of London.

350BC - Berlin completed Oracle

330BC - Discovered Mapmaking. Now researching Iron Working. York switch to Lighthouse. Its going to take 71 turn.

250BC - Destroyed another barbarian camp.

 

[Dark Sheer]

A worker is on the way to connect the road to Hasting to bring in gems. If gems is in then we can have higher productivity due to 1 extra happiness.

From the look of the map the island can easily support another 4-5 cities. I suggest we build at least 2 more settlers, 1 to take the spot of former Pasargadae and another to settle near the 3rd horse tile on the island. Several units is now fortified in a few places of the island to reduce barbarian appearance.

 

[Pggar]

I'll play now, so this doesn't become a two person SG.

We're very slow in science. We need to meet other civs. I lost a galley trying to find a continent next to our own. Hopefully will finish The great Lighthouse. Otherwise we'll spend most of this game trying to keep up to date. Before anyone says something, irrigation works in bonus tiles even under despotism. That's why i irrigated the cow at Persepolis. We should use the city as a rush center. Good luck to the next player.

Here's a take at our continent.

 

[Pggar]

Here's the file.

 

[LKendter]

I am taking another whack at this.

Pre-turn
Hastings is hopelessly corrupt - switch it to temple.

I sure hope we can get the Lighthouse.

I was going to grab the game but I see that someone has already downloaded it. No matter, I will follow the progress and play again if nobody do it tomorrow.

 

[LKendter]

Download is meaningless!

In anybody plays - you must announce your intention to play.

 

[i.Psychosis]

I've got the game...Report forthcoming.

 

[i.Psychosis]

450: The Mad One takes up residence in the castle of London.

460: Horseman complete in London, sent to garrison in nearby city for MP. Another horseman is ordered by the Mad One in hopes of gathering a small invasion force to get the hell off this rock.

470: The Mad One, and aptly named, boards the lone galley on an apparent suicide mission. Northward! At ocean now. Alive and well.

480: The Great Lighthouse is done! We enter a Golden Age! A galley is begun to take advantage of the new lighthouse. Our scholars finish work on the Republic. They get right to work on Math. And so the Mad One sows the seeds of this new government style amongst the people.

As of yet, our suicidal galley has yet to sink in the ocean. They spot land!

490: We find what appears to be a dinky little island, with a whale.

500: Confirmed. We have found a speck of dirt near a whale.

510-530: The Mad One rants and raves about the small speck of dirt. "I can't believe we made it all this way to find nothing!"

540: The Republic begins! The suicidal galley is sent west in hopes of finding a larger rock for us to settle on.

550: A settler is begun in London to grab that nice piece of land near the chariot on the south tip of England.

560: Alas, word from afar (carrier piegon?) brings news of the galley's demise. Two new ships will be available in ten years. Workers head toward Oxford to connect our only unconnected city.

*************************************************

This seemed like a good place to stop. After all I died on the ship.

We are in a golden age! I did a little rearranging during the anarchy to keep people happy. I looked them over again when we broke free. I'm not to comfortable with micro-management during a Golden Age just yet, so I wanted someone else to take a crack at it. Plus, the Super Bowl is gonna be on soon.

 

[i.Psychosis]

I was looking around for a good screenshot of the English, when lo and behold! A red border! This was not here when I passed obviously, else why would I have gone to the silly little rock. Their borded must have expanded after I passed!

Check it out.

 

[LKendter]

Land Ho

I am NOT playing at the moment.

 

[i.Psychosis]

If I sailed only a bit more east, I might not have died.
But at least we know we are not alone.

 

[BrianJ]

Got the game.. I'll try to post tonight if it doesnt go too late

 

[BrianJ]

(Can't believe we got stuck on a rock with no iron!) We have nothing to trade to them except gold at the moment. They have Construction and Polytheism, Contact with Zulu, Japonese, French, Indians and Germans. Sounds like the other civs have been having a party and forgot to invite us

610 AD:
Our second Galley was lost in trecherous waters! So close to a sea square too..

620 AD:
We learn Construction and research Currency.
Oh no! Our other Galley was lost. That'll teach me to try to avoid pissing off the babylonians.. should have stayed in their waters!

Founded Liverpool.

How rude, Hammurabi greets us: Greetings Elizabeth, Ruler of barbarian England! Why I have a mind to... ooooo they make me soo mad... We trade territory maps. They wanted 50 gold for their world map.

[BrianJ]

The map so far..

I hired a number of entertainers. If possible, these need to be put back to work..

 

[Dark Sheer]

Looks like this SG finally going into full steam after some slow start (I was beginning to worried it will become a 2 person SG ). The reason why I didn't grab the game earlier on is because by the time I type that its already 1:30am and I am working today.

I will see if Brian J completed his turn by the time I reach home tonight. If so I will give it another shot.
