[PC] Of Spock and Communism: Civ IV Succession Game

I'd love to be a part of this. Redownloading like the fist of the north star.

Are we going to be playing with Warlords/BtS?

e: So I suck at reading. Ah well, vanilla's grand too (and easier on my limited hard drive capacity).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Alright; got the save. I'll have made my move by tomorrow afternoon.

Most amazing jew boots

Sorry, my laptop shat the bed this morning. I'm all reinstalled now; gimme an hour.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Got my laptop working again. Afterwards, I discovered that a new version of Quicktime introduced in a software update a few months ago inexplicably and completely broke the OS X version of Civ 4, so I had to grab the Windows version. Le sigh. ANYHOW.





Washington flourishes. In accordance with the city's new borders, its citizens felt free to settle its fringes; to cease their fishing endeavours, return to the land, and till instead the forests. The surplus of wood is allowing our monastery's construction to proceed without hitch.



The party of warriors we previously dispatched to the east had the misfortune to cross paths with a pack of panthers. I feared the worst; however, our men showed fortitude, and the beasts were felled - albeit not without cost.



Alone and disorientated, the last survivor of our regiment managed to stumble across a band of friendly tribals only too pleased to replenish our party's ranks. Our expedition ventures forth unabated.





This new addition to our forces abroad strengthened our resolve to further map this continent. No borders lie near this eastern peninsula, although to the north there exists an intriguing isthmus with the promise of livestock, and the potential for settlement...

Far to the northwest -



Our other scouting party remained sore from their encounter with the hostiles of this lawless land. Nevertheless, their ranks - or, rather, what was left of them - would not be broken by the cruel tundra. Nobly he onward traveled.



Through wandering, he discovered a body of water and a view into the outer forests of the Egyptian lands. Not daring to trespass, he resolved to further investigate the surroundings.

As a whole, our people are making satisfying progress.



The knowledge to work stone will be a boon to our infrastructure - and it leads directly into what I propose as our next technological focus:



Pottery will allow our people to proliferate unprecedentedly; no longer shall we see food spoiling all throughout Washington. Monasteries and granaries are a charitable match fit for the gods themselves!

Turbo, you're up. 2800 BC savefile

(I'm not trying to conflict with anyone's play style here - feel free to swap research to monotheism if there's a chance the computer might pick it up; I calculated that seeing as we've leapt ahead of Egypt and that we've had the luck of some free techs we might be able to nab pottery, quickly throw together a granary in Washington, and found Judaism not soon after - the population increase resulting from the granary would mean that we'd be able to put the Pyramids up sooner.)

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Holy shit, we're probably going to found four religions in a row. This is insane.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well, at what stage are we going to train a settler? As soon as we finish the granary?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Sorry about being late; I've been up in the city. I'll be home to take my turn tonight~

FELIPE NO

Sorry, I've been uh busier than I had anticipated

My apologies for this, feel free to take the reins; honestly I had not expected things of this ilk to occur I suppose

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I was wrapped up in something last weekend and unable to set any time aside for the game. I'll take my turn in about six hours if that's alright.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Pretty much nothing happened until the last two turns:

• Construction finished on Washington's Buddhist temple. The population's unhappiness waned. Started training a missionary.
  
• Hat adopted slavery, and yet-undiscovered civs founded Confucianism and built the Parthenon.
  
• Washington expanded, population became unhappy once more. Growth is now stagnant.
  
• Finished researching theology and entered the medieval era. Declined adopting theocracy. Started researching animal husbandry; it'll be done in four turns.
  
• Finished training the aforementioned missionary. Sent him to New Bronzington. They've got Buddhism now.
  
• Started training a settler in Washington.
  
• Road between Washington and New Bronzington completed. Set worker to start constructing copper mine near Bronzington.

In short: Defense and development. Pretty much all we can muster right now.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Sooooo... Turbo isn't going to take his turn, then?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Sooo... It's Pang's turn again!

Already!

Yay!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Ah christ; I didn't realise it was my turn. I'll take it this evening.

I was speaking idiomatically.

KRELIAN, IT'S YOUR TURN. ACTUALLY DO IT THIS TIME.

I'm afraid I'm actually going to opt out of this for the time being - I just don't have the dedication I probably should, sorry. It's probably best to drop it now and not hold the game up further.
