1260 AD - Frag another barb camp, almost the same spot as the 1220 AD one.
1270 AD - Frag barb camp, yet again.
1275 AD - We loses our deal with Zulu. The new price is absurd, so I pass.

I don't mind you adding players. Welcome lkendter! Arizona_Steve, you're up! Will edit first post now.
 
These turns were so quiet that I had to resist the urge to start a war out of sheer boredom :)

Inherited Turn - 1300AD:
Teayo (Aztec) overthrows it's oppressors and joins our glorious empire. Renamed to Jungleville. We even get a barracks and a granary thrown in.

(1) 1305AD
Alarmed at the roads through the jungles. It's significantly more efficient to clear the jungle THEN build the road.

(2) 1310AD
Rush the temple in FineWine. I want to get a harbor going there to bring the wines online. Oops. It already has a harbor. Library started instead.
Steveopolis completes Leonardo's Workshop. Time for some troop upgrades.

(3) 1315AD
Starting Universities in many cities which are running out of improvements.
Drop luxuries to 10% and science down to 20%. Banking in 1 turn, and 155 gold.
Wonder why it is that every time I fortify a musketman, they make that grunting noise. As if they're in pain or something.
We get banking. Start Astronomy. Due in 5 turns at 40%. I start a bank in Salamanca, but will change it to Copernicus.

(4) 1320AD
I catch a courthouse being built in Barney's World, where there is no corruption. I change it to a marketplace.

(5) 1325AD
Upgrade 17 pikemen to Musketmen.

(6) 1330AD
Fortify musketmen. Lots of grunting ensues.
Turn science down to 10% for 2 turns. No change in arrival of Astronomy, but it pays for the troop upgrades.

(7) 1335AD
Astronomy learned. Chemistry started. 5 turns @ 30% science.

(8) 1340AD
Barbarian camp dispersed. Another 25 gold.
Salamanca switched to Copernicus' Observatory. Due in 13 turns.

(9) 1345AD
(10) 1350AD
(11) 1355AD
Take full advantage of the AI's ability to irrigate anywhere, and irrigate our lands from a square they irrigated just inside their borders.
Chemistry learned. Beelining to Theory of Gravity to try to get Newton's in the same city as Copernicus (Salamanca). Physics selected. 6 turns @ 40%

(12) 1360AD
Palace expanded.

(13) 1365AD
(14) 1370AD
(15) 1375AD
(16) 1380AD
(17) 1385AD
Physics learned. I go for Metallurgy as Copernicus has not been built yet. Science up to 50% at a loss of 26 gold per turn. We get it in 4 turns.
The Babylonians start Copernicus.

(18) 1390AD
(19) 1395AD
(20) 1400AD

Copernicus is due in Salamanca in 1 turn. Try to build Newton's there as well.

Ok, I've got it. At tech now, but will download it when I get home. Got an assignment to finish first, but will get it done soon.
 
After the rather unfortunate death of President Steve-a-watha III, the people of the Iroquois Nation elect a new president. Under much controversy, President Thrawn is elected, by a landside 1 million to 1 vote. The other hopeful was a sheep. :sheep: The new president was a distant relation of Chief Thrawn, the mighty chief who began the road to glory.

Early in his reign, the capital of Salamanca finished Copernicus Observatory! [dance]

The presidents first military order was to upgrade all Mounted Warriors to Knights, for the cost of 440 gold. The soldiers rejoice! He then orders the troops to begin massing on the Aztec borders, for what reason, no-one knows. :satan:

An emissary to the persians is sent, and they are sold dyes and incense for their gems, world map, and the secret of Metallurgy. The scientists begin research on Theory of Gravity earlier than they thought.

The people celebrate over the purchase of Russian Ivory for Dyes, Spices, and 300 gold. Some consider it expensive, but soon forget their doubts when they see the fine quality of ivory.

The year 1425 was a turbulent one for the Iroquois nation. And all because of those Zulus. Partway through the year, an emissary arrived, with a sealed parchment. The emissary never left alive. [phaser] The sealed parchment contained a declaration of war. :eek:

Immediately afterwards, emissaries were sent to the Germans, Persians, and Russians. The Germans were given access to our wines for an alliance against the zulu, the Persians were given Iron, and the Russians received Incense and 150 gold. The evil zulu nation shall know the strength of Iroquois wealth! :mwaha:

During the same year, 1425, the Theory of Gravity was discovered. Scientists oohed and aahhed over this discovery. Research on Economics was ordered.

The people are demanding Wall Street be constructed! President Thrawn knows not what they are talking about, but decides he should build it soon, to prevent an uprising.

The President decides to sell the secrets of Physics to the world. Unfortunately, most of them are broke. The evil zulus were ignored, and did not get a chance to bid for physics. The persians gave us the secrets of Navigation and Music Theory, plus their world map, 2 gold per turn, and a lump sum of 40 gold. The russians paid their entire treasury! The president was very excited by this, and dreamt of swimming in pile of gold! Then he found out how much they had. Only 58 gold. The president went into a depression, and his advisors did not think he had long to live. :(

1435 was considered one of the presidents better years, during his depression. He ordered the construction of a great cathedral, to be built in the old capitol of England. It was to be called JS Bachs Cathedral. After an old man living under a box in Salamanca.

5 years later, the President ordered construction of a special university in his home of Salamanca. It was to be named Newtons University. After the presidents ex-wife. :lol:

A few years before the presidents death, the secret of Economics was discovered, the president ordered research into developing a new way of printing and ordered that Steveopolis begin construction of a building to pay for many things. It would be named Adam Smiths Trading Company, after the first man to establish trading relations with another nation. (Actually, this man was called Joe Bloggs, but no-one could remember what his name was, so they made one up. )

The year 1450 was a sad year. The president died of depression in his bed. :cry: His last words were: "damn russians, they should of had a bigger treasury".

The voting for a new president continues........
 
Heres the save. I have shifted some troops towards the zulu cities on our continent, and there is also a swordsman near a zulu city, he was the lone warrior on the galley, which is now a caravel. Nice to see that our troops are now mostly vets. :goodjob: You're up Kefka, good luck!
 
ok Who pissed of the Zulu's?
I know I pissed ON the persians but I never pissed off the Zulu's. ;)
Ohwell Death to Zulu!
ok I will also see if I can bring some other enemys online Vs. the Zulu's before the Zulu's start VS.ing against us.
 
(0) And that President voted in was Kefka the IV, He won the popular support of the people by promising to "rid the continent of the Zulu Threat!"

Not much happened in 1455 AD, as that was the year the people adjusted to Kefkas rule.

1460 AD was the year that the first strike was carried out on the Zulus, the city that was attacked the southern city of New Hlobana, it was totally destroyed!

In 1465 AD We got a right of Passage treaty with the germans
then Persia contacts us and for the low price of 9 gold per turn and 50 gold down payment, we trade Economics to them.
We also learn Magnetism from our very smart Scientists.

1470 AD, York begin contruction of Wall Street.
On the Zulu Front we capture the City of Isipezi and that horrible name is changed to Zulusrweak :p
after that we got in posision to take over New Zimbabwe

(5) In 1475 AD we attack New Zimbabwe and after two waves we take over the city, capture one worker in there and rename the city Gig

1480 AD, Great news for us! The Zulus have taken over the city of New Berlin! so now we can take that city too without having to make war with the Germans :lol:

The Aztecs and the Zulus sign a Military Alliance Vs. the Persians, we now may experience a lot of fighting bettween Persia and the Aztecs right in our home land.

In 1485 We learn the secrets of Magnetism and now search for the secrets of Nationalism.
We have entered a new age in our Development!
The great Lighthouse becomes obsolete and Allegheny Begains Magellans Voyage (which is realy strange cause of huge lakefront location which they could not possibly sail around the world in ;) )
Gig Riots and Kefkas Palace expands.
The war effort is going great as we take the city of New Bapedi and rename it MorIroqoisland.

In 1490 the city of Centrala was build on the old site of the southern Zulu city.
A Vetren Knight becomes Elite as we take over the Zulu city of New Berlin.
and with that; Kefka's promise to rid our Grand Continent of the evil Zulus was accomplished.
but we still have seven turns of war due to Alliancess Vs. the Zulus

In 1495 AD all the Catapults in the land were thrown out and replaced by Cannons.

(10) 1500 AD; Nuts n honey ;)

The persian and the Aztecs armys have met and begain there big battle near Warwick.

1505 AD; again Nuts n honey

Bettween turns the Aztecs request and audiance with us and he wants printing press for a trade of world maps.
I say "thats the worst deal I have ever heard! NO

In 1510 AD we learn Nationalism and search for the secrets of Democracy.

We then were told that we had lost our supply of Gems :(
but we got them back by giving them Dyes, Incence and Printing press
they gave us Gems 6 gold (per turn) and 17 gold down payment

In 1515 Nearly all of our gold was spent on upgrading our defence of Musketmen to Riflemen.

we then lost our supply of Ivory, it stayed lost :rolleyes:
We hear that the two nations of Germany and Zululand have signed a peace treaty.

1520 AD; People Dance in the street of Salamanca as the Newton's University is completed there.
our country now has a higher standard of education than eveyother civ around :goodjob:

(15) 1525 AD; Nuts n honey

The Aztecs and the Zulus sign a trade embargo with us :( Kefka becomes worried about the possible threat of Aztecs who are already in our land fighting the Persians near Warwick.

In 1530 AD Democracy was learned by the great Iroqois people we now search the jungle's for Medicine.
I figure now would be a great time to Improve relations with everybody so I first contact the Persian and the Russians and end the Alliance Vs the Zulus with them, but I also Renew both of our peace treatys.
I then Contact the Zulus and sign a peace treaty ending this so called war with them. (really it was more of a slauter as we lost no units, no citys, and wiped them off our continent and never saw them again after.
Next I contact the Aztecs and Renew our peace treaty with them.

By 1535 Kefka feels that our borders are now safe enough to begain a Revolution cause "I know its gonna be alright" :love:

In 1540 The Irouqois empire has become the very first Democracy on this planet :goodjob:

The Zulus request an audience and they want an Alliance with us Vs the Russians and a Right of Passage Treaty.
I accept only the Right of Passage Treaty in an attempt to Improve relations with the Zulu people.
we Just got word that the Germans have begun to build the Smiths Trading Company, we are now in a race with them!

1545; Nuts n honey

(20) 1550; Kefka the seventh's term was up and now an election is being held.
 
Here is a Picture of the Aztec-Persian War that is going on in our land at this moment.

Good stuff Kefka! :goodjob: You're up lkendter.

I say we build for war with the aztecs, and aim for cavalry. If we seal off that end of the continent, then we'll have less borders to worry about. :cool: Later we could capture all other cities on the continent, and then our cities would be very safe from attack. :lol:

Wow you are quite a Warmonger :eek: I like it :goodjob:
WE STAND TO STRIDE THE WORLD LIKE A COLOSSUS NOBLE LEADER!
we have a millitarty that puts every other country to shame :cool:
exept for the persians :( they are up with us in millitary power. (well at least unit wise)
GIVE ME MORE UNITS NOBLE LEADER SO THAT THEY MAY SHEATH THEIR SWORDS IN TO THE BEATING HEARTS OF OUR ENEMYS!

The war with England put us on top but I belive a war with the Aztecs will Keep us on top ;)
so I concur with Thawn about building up for War with the Aztecs.

BTW:who else here misses the coments from the advisors
 
OK - I got it.

Better military, I can do that.

Not really. I don't usually declare war much in my sp games. Only usually when I see a good opportunity to increase my power. :D Like now. Decreasing the number of borders we have to worry about. I've done a tactic like this b4, with great success. :D

I miss the advisors comments too. :(
 
I got feast mode, with little playing time today.

This is 2nd for tommorrow, though I hope to finish B2 tonight.
Then this is first for Monday.
 
Pre-turn
ARGGGGGGGG - Medicine / nationalism before rails????????
Well I can tell you guys play way different then me.
The Human advantage really kicks in during the Industrial age - getting a jump on rails / factories.

Sell Persia Democracy - makes us money.

Drop science 10% to get the 1 turn cash boost.
Persia and Aztecs sign a peace treaty :(
1570 AD - The bizzare looking palace expands.
1580 AD - Wall street completed, and we got up to $1000 :)
1585 AD - Russia and Zulu sign a peace treaty.
Start researching factories.
[dance] Our people want to build the Iron works - coal has to be within our borders.
[party] The city is Hasting, a LOW corruption city
Switch to it NOW - once starting, you can't get screwed if the resources go away.
1590 AD - I am finally working on railroad....
More good news - we get bach's.

1650 AD - Up next - scientific method.
Salamance begins Suffrage - 15 turn eta.
Iron Works completed - factory is six turns.


Summary -
1 - Head for ToE.
2 - Keep working on the Railroad.
 
We built the Iron Works?! Woohoo! [party] I think I've only ever had this once. :goodjob: Now that we have mil tradition, lets build up for war with the aztecs. We should get rails built right up to the border, and have workers on standby so we can build rails up to captured cities, to reinforce them faster. :)

And I think I usually go for rails first. Arizona_Steve, you're up! Good luck!
