I believe that I now have Post#1 in some sort of order - it shows what I think happened in Round 1 and what I think should happen in this the Second Round.I have the game, will play tonight and pass to Carolus ------------------

Gentlemen, my log!Civ status 1590 AD - size: 22
- treasury: 405 gold
- not enough food to continue celebrating, picked off a worker
- set lux to 0%
- 3 Einsteins
- # science beakers: 448
- 3 turns/discovery 1600 Legion ”airlifted” back to Rome. 1610 Beaker mismanagement, no discovery. Set taxes to 90% to get gold and explosives. 1620 Explosives, taxes cut back to 10%. Bridge building next choice. 1640 French want me to declare war on Japs. I refused, they demanded 450 gold, I refused = war. 50 gold gift (Amercians). Peace with Japs. I gave them Gunpowder, Astronomy, Explosives, Sanitation. They refused to ally. Redirected legion to eastern front, where I expected French troops. 1650 Bridge building, navigation next. Barbs in trireme outside Rome. Taxes set to 0% to keep science at 3 turns. Gave French explosives and declared war against Japs to get peace. All this to save the beads caravan (Japs are further away). 1660 French discovered navigation, techs down to 2 turns. Barbs everywhere. Two barb legions destroyed by our horse. 1670 Navigation, physics next. 8 caravans ready in Rome. A third barb legion makes landfall from the same trireme as the other two came from?! Killed it with our chariot. Beads to Marseilles (size 13), 93 gold (not in demand). 1680 INC completed. Taxes set to 70% to get extra gold and physics. 1690 Physics, economics next. Taxes set to 30%, 2 turn techs. 1700 Spice caravan ready. 1710 Economics, steam engine next. Our ally completed Leo's. 1720 Beads caravan ready. 1730 Stem engine, railroad next. Taxes set to 20% to maintain 2 turn discoveries. 1740 Caravel ready, off with the two camels to Rheims (demands spice). Can unload directly into Rheims (coastal city). Decided to do this because i) the French are hostile and may demand tribute and kill caravans travelling by land and ii) travelling by sea is faster. 1750 Railroad, industrialisation next. Good time to stop, new turn system ahead. Good luck to my successor (which I will send the save to as soon as I have checked who you are! )! BTW, let the spice camel enter into Rheims first (if the goods are still in demand), demand may change otherwise. Carolus [hoping he wrote the sloppy log down all right] |

Thanks Carolus, game received. I assume that you checked my old user name "Marko_Polo" (with the underscore). I changed it to "Marko Polo". |

MarkoI got your e-mail but no attachment. But I've realised the save must be the one in post 1 described as AD880 so I'll play my turns from that and try to send it on to skrobism and to SG(1) to-morrow (but it might be Monday morning as I'm ordinarily off line over the week-end). We are being a bit slow, by the best standards, I suppose but granted the underlying problems things seem to have picked up since I last played. I will do my best to keep that going. |

Post #1 now updated with four new save games - I am just about getting my act together after Easter -- however, entering marking hell so there may be more delays at my end - sorry guys ...------------------

My 20 turns were quite eventful, ending with a tasty freight delivery and news of a bloody battle on distant shores against the evil Japanese. I am saddened to report that bribery and corruption were rampant throughout my brief reign so we ended with a NONE engineer and the small task force of NONE units (legion and dragoons) which fought the battle of Shimonoseki and has currently occupied a Japanese fort. We have maxed out at size 26. We have a Power Plant with the tech for an offshore platform not too distant a prospect. We could do with another NONE engineer. Two lower value freights are on route to cities demanding their commodities. Advances are coming in each four turns. I did not make contact with the Indians. 1802 Freight (spice). Disband supported cannon (shields now 20). 1804 Bribed French engineer (none unit). Discover Atomic Theory. Electronics next. 1806 Freight (beads). Establish French embassy. 1808 1810 Freight (food). Gift Metallurgy and Conscription to Japanese (they are grumpy). 1812 Discover Electronics. Leadership next. Rush freight. Taxes to 100%. 1814 Freight completed. Cash in all freights/caravans. French ask us to join war with Japanese. Agree. Exchange Polytheism for Conscription. Gift Magnetism. Exchange Maps. 1816 Darwin’s Voyage. Discover Leadership and Tactics. Refining next. 1818 Bribe barb legion. 1820 Freight (wine). 1822 1824 Discover Refining. Machine Tools next. Building Power Plant. French build Eiffel Tower. Mountain now hills. 1826 Building Power Plant. Disband two supported engineers. Set luxuries to 20% to celebrate. 1828 1830 1832 Size 26. Luxuries to zero. Sell Sewer system. Bribe barb dragoons. 1834 Power Plant. Discover Machine Tools. Combustion next. Bribe barb dragoons. Sell aqueduct. 1836 Our dragoons destroy corps of Japanese elephants and their supporting cannon in the battle of Shimonoseki, 1838. Fort occupied by dragoons and diplo. 1840 Freight (gold). Japanese elephant kills our entrenched dragoons [  ]. Japanese build Great Library. Spice freight arrives San Francisco (demanded) 384 gold. . I had hoped to make progress towards contacting the long lost Indian tribe. An Indian city with a Wonder figures on the Find City list and is apparently located beyond the Japanese. But I made little progress towards sneaking through. In any event I suspect they will prove to be on another continent otherwise there would be more signs of their activities, whether visible directly or through the evil Japanese. A visit by ship to these mysterious folk might be called for. My successor should watch the beakers for the next advance. We were exactly one quarter the way when the spice freight contributed a little over one eighth. I have made a rough adjustment which will bring in the advance in three turns without too much waste but a good micromanager could probably improve on my settings. I will shortly send the save to skrobism and SG.

Post 1 updated with round 3 info - I propose that when we start round 3 we drop the maximum number of turns to 10 each - we are getting close to launch and once we set out on the conquest phase 10 turns may prove far to many ...------------------

Hi crow - welcome backYes the biweekly OCCs are still going, but more like monthly now - a new Queen of OCC has arrisen in your absense - check out some of Ribannah's spectacular games - Have a look at the Great Library (top thread in Civ2-Strat) I think that too is new since I last spoke to you. Do you just want in on a Succession Game or particularly on an OCC bloodlust? if the former I think there is one starting at the moment although it is proposed to be at Prince rather than Deity See ya around ------------------

Hello SG1 -Thanks for remembering me! I looked at some of those logs. That is quite an amazing feat. I'll have to see if I can come anywhere close to those dates, LOL! Either type would be fine with me, but maybe I'll start with AC since I don't play bloodlust so often and wouldn't want my lack of warmaking skills to drag the game down. I'm a lover, not a fighter.  I'll check around to find that game, Prince level is fine with me, I can show off a bit then, right? One thing though, I have MGE, is that compatible in a succession game with the other versions?
