Sorry John, we seem to have our wires crossed here - the game we took over from skrobism had not yet got Trade! hence no Caravans - either you are thinking of a different game or we have played the wrong save ...

The big question is, "what happened to the Skrobism Lighthouse?" Did it get built with the change of turns in the year 500ad? If not. Oh well. That is the way of Succession games. Did we ever get improvements to that throne room? What is 'Xinning'? Good job. |

Ten turn/ten year intervals continue until the end of the game.

I just thought this should be moved to the new AKC thread. Things to consider: Sag Canoer quit and is out of the rotation; Dr_S and HsFB were having problems with game turn around and have been skipped over.
Last I heard the Scouse Gits passed a save to SilverDragon.

Paging a Mr Dragon. Paging SilverDragon. You have a call on the blue phone. Paging SilverDragon.The Scouse Gits passed the save to SD on December 3. So much for my wild plan to get two rounds in by Tuesday. Taurus and DaveV are you ready and willing if SD does not respond? I have to commend the Gits. They were obviously too busy for a full turn. They took a mini-turn and passed the game on. Some people just sit on the game for days - weeks. When MWHC started us on this idea, based on what he saw done with SimCity, maybe it was just a cruel trick. Notice how he never signed up to play? He didn't warn us of these delays. I have a reign of terror to bring to the AKC's world. :P And I can't be delayed by real world silliness.  There are armies to be built; nations to be razed; serious sleazing to be done. To arms! To Arms! Two legs? I don't know what I am rambling about. Work is REAL slow today. ------------------

I'd like to be in a succession game, but now I suffer from a lack of Multiplayer gold. I'm using 2.42 or whatever the latest is. So would I be able to play on this using my version of Civ II?Thanks. ------------------

Sorry - haven't been following this carefully enough - do I understand that SilverDragon has vanished and that I have the latest save game - thus it's all my fault -- if I've got this right I shall send a copy to Farmboy when I get home.Farmboy - is the e-mail in your profile good for receiving attachments?? Sorry about any delay guys, ------------------

Farmboy,
If I am reading the order of turns (see above) correctly, you are replacing SilverDragon in the order. This is everyone's second go at the game. So, you have 10 turns this time.As for goals you could try reading the Histories at Scouse Gits Site. Or look throgh the thread for any hints at a goal. The Gits played last, they might know what their goals were. But that is the interesting part of the Succession. I might tell you exactally what my goals for the AKC are and you can ignore those. At the end of your turn, you surrender power to the next leader. Good luck. ------------------

Okay, I finally got the game from SG and I loaded it up, and I was shocked. Usually when I have played, I try to space my cities out to use all of the land so that I can feed everyone. But on this game for some reason the citys are only one space away, is this for a reason. And another problem, on the second turn, half of them went into civil disorder, should this have happened? I didn't save when I tried to play because I'm not sure what happened to it. Any tips? |

All out ICS is messy, but it has its good points and I think Xinning is a more responsible version of it, but it is too late now. Anyway, perfectionism is boring.It has been a while since I saw the game, I'd love to see where we are. Farmboy, if you are looking for a No ICS game, we do have one going on now that I'm sure you could join. ------------------

Who's next? Good question and I have to defer to the Scouse Gits who I think started this Knitting Circle.Maybe what we need to do at this point is take role call and find out who is still interested in this game, then rebuild the 'turns list' keeping in mind the current order of course. Just an idea. BTW - sign me up. |
