Please post anything related to the 2.42 succession game in this thread.

The players:

Paul paulvdbelt@hetnet.nl
Scouse Git[1]
Skrobism skrobism@address.com
Hueij j.stavenuiter@chello.nl

4000-2750 Paul
2750-1500 SG[1]
1500-0625 skrobism
0625-0001 Hueij
0001-0500 Paul
0500-1000 SG[1]
1000-1500 skrobism
1500-1750 Hueij
1750-1800 Paul
1800-1850 SG[1]
1850-1875 skrobism
1875-1900 Hueij

Each player plays 25 turns before sending the game to the next player. We are playing as the Romans on a random map. Game logs and intermediate saves can be found at http://members.home.nl/paulvdbb/occ242.htm

Since this is an OCC game we will of course never have more than one city. So make sure to save the game before entering a hut in grass or plains, so that you can reload if you get an advanced tribe. If you are not familiar with the OCC rules you can find them at http://members.home.nl/paulvdb/occ.htm

When you send the game to the next player please cc it to paulvdbelt@hetnet.nl so that I can put the save on my site.

SG[1]'s v2.42 OCC Succession Log

Note to self: Can play to 1500BC

Certainly looks like an island - not exactly ideal territory either - I keep looking at the SSW corner and wondering, it is certainly a potential special square from what we can see of the pattern, dare I risk the Settler resource? Paul irrigated it so clearly did not think the risk worth taking, but ...
Neighbours include: Indians, Germans, Egyptians, Zulus and Americans - need to identify the Orange Civ.

2750BC - let's go!
2700BC - might not be an island!
2650BC - Ceremonial Burial -> Monarchy (45 Beakers); I'm going to go for that potential Special - pre-worked Irrigating Settler stopped! (sorry Paul)
2600BC - [cross fingers]Forestation effort started[/cross fingers]; We seem to have an isthmus to somewhere - Warrior parked on Mountain choke point.
2550BC - Aha - Warrior is now 'near Berlin'
2500BC - Size 3; Celebration impossible;
2450BC - SILK! breath hearty sigh of relief;
2350BC - Cost of Monarchy drops to 40
2300BC - Cost of Monarchy returns to 45
2250BC - Back to 40
2200BC - hut 50g; cost 45??; Conundrum - I have 39 beakers and make 5 a turn if I leave it at 5 and the cost stays at 45 - we miss Demo this turn by 1 beaker and waste at least 3 next turn - while if the cost comes back down to 40 we get Demo and waste 4 beakers -- alternative move from beakers to shields for this turn - go with alternative...
2150BC - Cost stayed at 45 beakers - get it this next turn - no beakers wasted.
2100BC - Monarchy -> Currency; Colossus exactly half built; Revolution;
2050BC - MONARCHY ESTABLISHED ; The orange civ is English;
1950BC - hut 50g;
1700BC - Currency -> Trade; Horseman now 'near New York' - looks as if Germany is turn South after the isthmus ...
1650BC - regretting not choosing Writing
1600BC - COLOSSUS; start Temple

1500BC - all is well and I pass the conch.

* Skrobism raises the conch above his head. The populace goes wild! *

I will probably get to the game tomorrow night. I hope that is ok.

Like I said earlier, I don't usually play OCC. This will be good practice for me. Do you have any tips? What are we as a civ going for in this early stage? Beakers, Gold, Trade, Alliances? Let me know. Thanks.

Aaaarrgggh!!! Do you know how much trouble I went thru to build that colosseum? Starting with Republic and no Construction? And you tear it down, just like that?...

The most satisfying part of my turn was when I had to pay 50 gold for peace with the Germans and got a 250 gold gift the same turn

Greetings! This sounds like a fun twist to occ. Checking out the strategy section i see i'm a few "fortnight" games behind. Don't really have time these days to play full games, but this would be right down my alley. Put me down for the next game you start...

Tom, welcome back. The fortnight games aren't exactly fortnighly anymore since the departure of you, Vik and Oldman. So you haven't missed too many games. And I will definately put you down for the next OCC succession game.

Tom - Welcome back!

skrobism - I don't understand the Musk & Rifle? I would have thought that the need was for something on four legs to catch the king or to pre-empt pillaging? Can you explain?

Wow. I think my judgement was attacked by 2 players in only 2 posts. Oops.

Can I explain? Hmm. Ok here it is.

There were a few times that I was really afraid for Rome because it had only 1 true defender. He is a very noble Archer and seems invincible, but he was alone. It was my intention to build a defender that would be fortified within the city. I suppose building a defender that could roam the city radius would have been another option. But again it was my intention to have him stay put, so why waste the effort of creating something with 4 legs? Besides, I like things that go BANG!

I am pretty sure that was my thinking at the time. I did not expect so many Barb attacks. Trust me, when I saw that Barb King sitting there on our North Coast without a defender, I wanted a horseman.

edit: maybe 'attacked' was a bit to strong of a word. How about 'challenged'?

A bigger concern than troup selection for me is that I am selecting the correct Techs and Wonders. Do you have any suggestions on that?

You might want to take a look at Paul's OCC-site, AKA the Paulicy. And don't worry about a 100% science rate if needs be, the Germans more than make up for lost taxes in gifts.

I already played a few turns and I changed the caravan you started into an engineer. I also diverged the science-path to refrigeration so we can max out with WLTPD. And sorry, the archer and the musketeer are gone

Sorry, skrobism - I did not mean to 'challenge' you just to ask for clarification - after all the good old Archer was invulnerable to Barbarian attack (see the GL for the details) so you must have had a rationale for building the more modern units ... I simply asked for the details.
I really enjoy these Succesion Games - if only for the wide variety of strategies that we encounter.

SG,
Challenge me all you want. I don't mind. Now that I know the archer was truly invincible, I guess my fears were unfounded and the musketeer was a waste. I hope that I didn't set us back too far.

skrobism - only invincible against Barbarians - any AI piece could blow it away with no problem -- an important distinction!

SG[1]'s v2.42 OCC Succession Log (Part III)

1800 - Raw production only 32 shields - 4 supported units - need another forest asap. (Note to self - Find player that didn't turn the Forests to Plains and the river squares to Forests and forcibly re-educate him!) Pollution is already at a high level, our infrastructure is not yet complete, we only have two caravans in the bank and we are researching Rocketry! This is going to be tricky. Thebes demands both Dye & Copper - might be useful. What are the chances of buying a non-Engineer or two? How the hell do you rush a Diplo with a production of 28!!?? Should I tell them that I'm sick and have to miss my turn? Would they notice if I cheated up a few minor terrain changes? ...

My offering to the Deity of OCC ...

1802 - slowed science to 4 turns ...
1804 - River square now has Railroad ... German Fighter sighted - this is going to be a close run thing ...
1806 - Rocketry -> Nuclear Power; Pollution
1808 - Copper & Dye to Thebes (demanded), 236g each; New Forest completed production now 31+4 ; Crank up the Science and lets go for it ...
1810 - Nuclear Power -> The Laser (Space not offered); Pollution clear, both Engineers free food deficit only 2; Engineers build road for Rifle - if there is ever another Pollution free turn they can put in a Fort ...
1812 - Factory;
1814 - The Laser -> Space Flight;
1816 - Galleon disbands into Man Plant;
1818 - Manufacturing Plant -> production now 84 + 3 ; Start Hoover's
1820 - Space Flight -> Plastic;
1822 - APOLLO PROGRAM (You really do not want to know how close this was to being Hoover's )
1828 - Plastics -> Superconductor; SSS#3
1836 = Superconductor -> Combined Arms (Fusion not offered); SSS#7
1844 - Combined Arms -> Fusion Power; SSS#11
1850 - Germans demand Superconductor - cancel Alliance when I say no; SSS#14

We get Nuclear Fusion next turn and can then concentrate on cash for rushing the Components and Modules - we only have 4 Freights and a Rifle - so this becomes my successor's headache!

--------------------------

I haven't sat down and actually done the sums - so I'm not sure whether it is even possible to get the 9 bits in 9 turns with these resources - good luck skrobism.

Interesting game, thanks to all involved players!

If you have room for one more in the next game I would like to join. I'm not up to date regarding OCC, but know where to look. Besides, probably makes it more fun (at least more challenging) if all are not crème de la crème OCCers!

Hellooooo ... Skrobism is there any life there?
Or did the Religious Fanatics come boiling out of the South before we launched - always a possibility with a city sited apparently between two Barb spawn points!
