Any type of OCC game is good for me.

The problem is that the turns take so long and I hardly ever seem to have enough time to play a turn. When I have a free 15 minutes I can play a couple of OCC turns, but it's not enough to play even one turn in the gigamap game.

Paul, maybe you should declare that 5 turns is enough and then forward the game to one of those true ICS champions.

edit:
Looking over the posts, this is what I have found.

MGE
Paul
Scouse Gits
Ribannah broeder@bart.nl
kcbob kcbob49@hotmail.com
Julius Brenzaida
Roman

2.42
Paul
Scouse Gits
Smash
Hueij j.stavenuiter@chello.nl
Julius Brenzaida
Marko_Polo marko.raunio@luukku.com
skrobism skrobism@address.com
Tom DeMille tom@hotlamp.com

Maybe, the 2.42 games can have the same start map and the 2 teams can compete for a final score. Can the MGE game start with the same map? I know the AI is different, but what the heck? We could have a 3 way competition.

What say ye?

Anyway, if we are going to do this I don't think there should be players playing in both MGE and 2.42 games. Julius, SG[1] and I are currently listed for both games, so we should choose which game we want to play. Julius has already posted that he would prefer MGE, so we can strike him from the 2.42 game. In the end, that will leave us with 5 and 6 players respectively, so we wouldn't have to split the 2.42 group in two.

Scouse Git[1]

• OCC1.sav 5 techs and Silk
• OCC2.sav 5 techs only
• OCC3.sav 6 techs and Buffalo
• OCC4.sav no starting techs, no specials, but a hut

May I suggest that Rib starts the MGE game as she seems to favour early Republic and might like a slightly different starting gambit ...

Right then, 10 turns unless told otherwise.

Should we finalise the lists and then break this into 2 threads?

I was confusing it with the another succession. Please ignore my last post.

4000 BC We have Bronze Working, Ceremonial Burial, Iron Working, Mysticism and ... Warrior Code . Full of enthusiasm, the Carthagian Settlers explore their surroundings ...
3950 BC Terrain looks very bad after all! Not even a second special . We decide to move further into the unkown black, even though chances are we are just giving the other team a huge headstart
3900 BC Another silk, but in large forest
3800 BC Finally, a hut: N-Chariot. We sight a buffalo near more open terrain
3700 BC Wheat! This looks more like it
3550 BC Wow, another hut. We get 50 gold. Our Chariot sees a decent spot with river, whales and another buffalo, but it's a long walk for our Settlers. The wheat/buffalo spot may have more to offer, even though the city square is hills. We take a gamble and have one of our Settlers irrigate the Buffalo.
3450 BC Silk discovered, this looks like home (4 specials). First Settlers arrive and start to mine the hills on the intended city square
3300 BC Buffalo irrigated
3150 BC Our Chariot pops another hut: 50 gold. Carthage founded at (59,11) (Silk, Wheat, 2 Buffalo, no rivers, probable ocean access). We start building Settlers. First research goal is Alphabet. Because of the hills research will be slow for the time being, so we intend to grow to size 3 asap.
3000 BC N-Settlers complete mining the hills on the city square
2750 BC The Lady Ribannah leaves her Carthagian citizens in good health. May they forever prosper!

Note to successor: the Settlers built won't disband the city (they can join after the city hits size 2 - watch the happiness, there is a way ).

Challenge to Team 2.42: to found the city on a different location (hey, we came here first! )

Edit: zipped save sent to kcbob and Paul

I have the game from Ribbanah and will crank it up momentarily.

In the second millennium of our great people’s history, one came forth to lead the people. A man of vision, albeit 20-200 vision, his name was kcbob. As he looked over the land and the city, he was frustrated. The gods had decreed that only one city would ever be built and it’s beginnings were slow.

As kcbob began to make decisions which would set the nation’s course forever, the last two of his predecessor’s decisions, Ribbanah the Magnificent, brought fruition. A settler was trained and the Alphabet was discovered. This last event merely showed just how Ribbanah earned her place in history since she was able to set down her history before learning to write.

Be that as it may, Code of Laws was chosen for futher research as the people clamored for a king (or queen ). And realizing that we would have only one city throughout eternity, the people began to build a big. No wait, make that a large. No, I think it should be an extra large. How about a huge? No, I have it… a Colossus!!! Yes, a Colossus so that knowledge might increase.

But in the very next season, unhappiness swept over the nation. The people’s spiritual well-being had been neglected. With no other recourse, the big, large, extra large, huge, Colossus was torn down, a temple erected and before you could say “Waaahh”, unhappiness was no more. The Colossus was begun anew, buffalos irrigated, chariots sent searching, and all was well with the world. We had music. We had rhythm.

Who could ask for anything more?

I bequeath my extra turns to Julius. He may need them considering our slow start.
