[Knight-Dragon]

My initial placement...

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Mongols - Turn 1

Karakorum was founded, beside a river. Our scout set off to explore to the SE.

Building a warrior (5 turns). Researching bronze-working.

Our enemies - Romans, Persians, French, Indians, Vikings, Iroquise.

Game will be emailed. Remember to load up your first turn using the MP screen, before reverting to normal for following turns, per mel's method. So that it'll stay at emperor.

 

[donsig]

Kyoto has been founded. Looks as though our Mongol allies may be fairly close.

Save e-mailed.

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Mongols - Turn 2

Mongol recon unit heading southwards to try to regroup with our Japanese allies. Seems we really shld be close by.

Game emailed.

 

[donsig]

Japan - Turn 2:

Switched research to mysticism in the hopes our Mongol brethren will teach us the ways of the warrior.

Game e-mailed.

 

[WildFire]

Cool. Will keep track of this one

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Mongols - Turn 3

Recon unit still heading south; rather good lands there. No goody huts yet...

Game emailed.

 

[ERIKK]

Aye, I've got good lands south of me, and plains with rivers northwards...

 

[donsig]

We'll have to work out a border between us. When I get a unit should I explore south or east - I don't want to duplicate your explorations. I think I'm near the west coast.

Turn 5a e-mailed. Not much to report cause I have only a city and a worker. Built a road and working on a mine now. Zzzzzz.

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Mongols - Turn 6

Had yet to see a goody hut. I'm beginning to have a bad feeling about this...

I've set the barb level to random - possibly no barbs or goody huts at all in the game.

 

[Knight-Dragon]

The Uploads option doesn't seem to be working...

Our current worldmap.

Japan - turn 6: First Japanese warriors leave Kyoto.

Game e-mailed.

 

[Knight-Dragon]

It's 4.40 a.m. now, it's raining outside, I'm having a headache fr accidentally immersing myself in OT and I'm going to bed.

Will play in the morning, and if there aren't really any goody huts, you'll have to play the big brother, pal, 'cause my expansionist attribute will be useless.

But wouldn't want to restart; we got excellent geography.

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Mongols - Turn 7

Moved warrior out for a quick recon. Scouts moving southwards, second scout being trained.

Game emailed.

 

[donsig]

Not much to report but we have a slightly bigger map now:

 

[donsig]

We have seen the Iroquois. They are a backwards people!

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Mongols - Turn 13

We have made contact with the Romans. Our Japanese allies had also seen the Iroquise. We're fairly advanced.

Our worldmap...

 

[donsig]

Wow, we are close!
