The Clash of the Two Titans.

[MightyPunkass]

I haven't done one of these before so I thought that I'd contribute and do one.

CivIII w/o Conquests
Map: Earth (Huge)
Civs: 2
My Civ: Iroquois

The first thing of course was to find me a suitable location for my first city. It didn't take long as I considered my Start Location a nice enough base for my capital. Salamanca was born.

I decided that the best thing I should do was to build a Warrior to fight off any wandering Barbs. Then set my Worker to start getting some irrigation done and my Scout to do what a Scout does best.

 

[MightyPunkass]

It turned out that it had been a shrewd move to start building a Warrior first, within a couple of turns, a barb raided Salamanca and I couldn't rush my Warrior along, luckily, when I build my Warrior such attacks will hopefully be a thing on the past.

A few turns later, I had my Warrior. I instantly set him to fortify and quickly set Salamanca building Barracks. My Scout had discovered a supply of Spices and a Barb Encampment, I would deal with that later.

I harvested a forest (which due to an expansion of Salamanca's borders fell in the City Limits.), which will help on the way to getting irrigation to Salamanca.

My Scout discovered a Goody Hut which handed us a Free Settler. I sent him back to Salamanca where he would be safe while I sent my Scout for a suitable location for the Settler to set up my second city. A few turns later, I got my Barracks and set out work on a Temple, And a few turns after that I discovered that the other Civ was the Russians, thanks to a Great Book.

I lost my Scout to a wandering Barb in 2850BC. I decided to send my Settler to a position I had noticed earlier, since I couldn't scout around a bit for a short while. I got my Temple the next turn, setting Salamanca to build a Granary now. A couple of turns after this, in 2590, I founded Niagra Falls, I set them to build a Warrior first as well.

Having just watched my Warrior make his first kill against a filthy Barb, I get the honour of building the first expansion to my Palace, I like the Oriental Style, so I went with that.

A Barb appeared in the east and headed towards Niagra Falls, then getting away with 5 gold, the git! And I was only one turn away from a Warrior.

 

[MightyPunkass]

I got my first Technology, Bronze Working...then choosing to go with researching Alphabet with the mentality that there is a very slim chance that I am gonna meet the Russians any time soon. The Borders of Salamanca expanded again for me

Salamanca built its Granary and I went with building another Warrior for exploration purposes, but first...about that Barb Encampment...

 

[MightyPunkass]

Basking in the glory of anihilating that Encampment...I got another expansion of my Palace, and as I was building up right now, I carried on the trend.

For the next god-knows-how-many turns...nothing special happened. I set the Science rate back to keep my Civ growing, set Salamanca on building Wealth and my Warrior was well on his Exploration mission.

To Be Continued

what difficulty is this game on?

 

[MightyPunkass]

Since I'm a considerable CivIII n00b, Cheiften, I'll turn it up to warlord after this game is over.
