The Second Ever Civ IV Anarchy Game!

[SamE]

Ummm, okay.

I need orders for SLN and DMD.

 

[SamE]

Okay, here's a city shot. Which forest?

 

[ahigh]

the forest directly above the gold. after that put a farm on the grassland, then mine the gold. that should keep the worker busy for a while.

 

[SamE]

Okay, chopping the forest.

 

[ahigh]

sorry. i didn't realize that one was being worked by the city.

 

[SamE]

Ended turn...Montezuma wants Open Borders. Do we grant him the wish?

 

[SamE]

BTW, he doesn't have any pluses or minuses...

 

[Andygal]

Yes. May as well try to postpone a war with the lunatic as long as possible....

 

[SamE]

Montezuma says that we're his hero. That's always good.

PikeHoses was ejected from Alexander's territory directly east. He'll keep going around, though.

I gotta go, so let's make this the last turn of Day 2.

 

[SamE]

I need an order for Smells Like Niffweed.

His screenshot is on page 11.

 

[SamE]

Okay, this is the end of Day 2. We got a lot of turns done, but didn't really do much exciting. I'll be skiing tomorrow, so Day 3 will be on New Year's Eve. Same time, same place. This thread is still open for discussion about the game or format or whatever, but the only order I'm accepting is one for Smells Like Niffweed. See you on Saturday!

Um,

110 posts to build the first warrior.

Do you really think you can run a whole game like this? I still love the idea and look forward to seeing the results of this but can I suggest:

Scout/army movements
Should be things like 'scout North/NW, around AI borders, etc'. Going turn by turn is pretty crazy. Would also be must faster if you popped all huts and defended against animals in good terrain when possible.
Later when you have armies I hope 'attack the __ with the stack of ___' will be sufficient without having to do command after command.

Worker actions
If someone says 'chop a forest' without specifying which just chop one...use your judgement or roll a die or something.


City building and technology seems to be going okay, but after 2 days and 231 posts at a quick game speed you don't even have a second city yet! Argh had westport built at post 220.

 

[Flotorius]

SLN has to discover the dark area west of him in search for possible city sites.

 

[SamE]

Don't forget that I threw in choosing the settings at the beginning instead of choosing them myself as Argh did. That took up around 20 posts...I also post a lot of screenshots, so that's slowed us down. Should I post more/less/different kinds?

 

[niffweed17]

you should definitely cut down on all of the movement posts, particularly with warriors and scouts. get more general orders that last for at least 5 turns each.

 

[SamE]

Actually...
My family postponed skiing until tomorrow (it's not the first time), so we can have Day 3 today. I'll open up the save right now...

I'm in.

Hope you won't be too exhausted for a good long après-ski tomorrow.

Okay guys, here's what's going on unit-wise:

Smells Like Niffweed (Warrior) is exploring the dark area directly north of Twoddlenpqirfjy (around the Deer he found earlier).

Shillen's Son (Warrior) is circumnavigating the lake to the west of Twoddlenpqirfjy. He's almost done.

PikeHoses (Scout) is going around Athens, but first will pop the goody hut north of him.

 

[Flotorius]

Good boys. I hope that they don't end up as a lion's dinner.

 

[SamE]

And here's the tech situation:

We research Mysticism in 2 turns (2700 BC), and Polytheism in 8 turns after that if nothing changes.
