580BC Turn Report (Mid Turn 129)

mongoose201 — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 14:48:23 GMT

Greetings all, this turn report will lead up to our research of Alphabet..

Before ending turn 125, our religion was changed from Hinduism to Judaism...

This change reveals a few cities to which Judaism has spread. (Is that sentence correct? It didn't feel right for some reason)

[b]625BC Turn 126[/b]

Workers 1 and 3 start mining Copper near Tolosa

[b]610BC Turn 127[/b]

Frederick offers an Open Border agreement which is denied pending future Senate review.

C.S.S. Doomed has come across a Barb city on the northern coast of the Eastern Continent:

[b]595BC Turn 128[/b]

An update on Alaster's steady progress:

Also on this turn, Bibracte has grown into unhealthiness. This will subside with a farm on the rice near Vienne. (We will need to either research or trade for Agriculture)

[b]580BC Turn 129[/b]

I started on Mathematics(12) next but that can be changed depending on tech trades.

A worker has been completed in Vienne, and another has begun training (8)

With the copper mine complete, Workers 1 and 3 begin mining the gems (jungle) NW of Tolosa.

Barb slaying hero, Chariot Ronan, has come across a barbarian stronghold on our continent:

The city has two archers protecting it. We will need to discuss options regarding our approach to this encroachment upon our continent by the filthy hordes.

Also, as you can see, our score has rebounded with the research of Alphabet:

Now... the Trade Screens:

All Senators (and anyone else with Warlords) will want to open the save to help determine the best trade options. I will do the same over the next couple of days. We will want to exploit the lack of contact between the continents for as long as possible.

Bibracte Library will be complete in 4 turns (what next... wonder?)

Vienne Worker will be complete in 8 turns

Tolosa Monument will be complete in 2 turns (suggestions?)

640BC Turn Report (End Turn 125)

mongoose201 — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 01:13:17 GMT

Greetings all... 5 turns for you to be updated...

Before ending turn 120, there were a couple of items to attend to:

The 1st was the enactment of an Open Borders agreement with the French, as authorized by the 2nd Senate Assembly. This clears the route for C.S.S. Doomed to resume exploration.

The 2nd was the Landmark Naming proposed and approved by the 2nd Senate:

Mount Olaf it is, after the original journalist in 1bc's Dgame past...

[b]700BC Turn 121[/b]

Worker Complete in Bibracte. The Worker moves toward Tolosa to help with jungle chopping and resource connection.

A Library has started construction in Bibracte, to be completed in 12 turns.

[b]685BC Turn 122[/b]

A Monument has been completed in Vienne, and is followed in production by a worker, to be complete in 7 turns.

[b]670BC Turn 123[/b]

Ronan catches sight of a barbarian on a distant hill:

[b]655BC Turn 124[/b]

Battle Rages! Ronan vs. Barb Warrior, with the expected result...

Ronan will require 2 turns to heal fully from his wounds received in battle...

[b]640BC Turn 125[/b]

Alaster has healed from his barb attack from the last report and is on the move again... His progress is documented in the attachements below...

Domestic Advisor:

Alphabet will be complete in 4 turns... It's premature to determine what to research next until we have Alphabet to see what we can receive in trade.

There has been interest in building a wonder in Bibracte, here are the current possibilities:

The Pyramids - 69 turns

Stonehenge - 17 turns

The Great Lighthouse- 28 turns (After constructing Lighthouse in 9 turns)

The Parthenon - 55 turns

Temple of Artemis - 48 turns

The Great Wall - 35 turns

Also, there is a potential strategy that I would like to bring up as an option. We have founded two religions, Hindu and Judaism. Our current state religion is Hinduism, which is currently only spread to 1 city outside the Holy City of Bibracte (Paris). Judaism, however, has spread and been adopted as a state religion by the Germans and Egyptians. It has also spread to Vienne.

Since we already have our Open Borders with France, I would like to discuss switching our state religion to Judaism to help production in Vienne and to help us learn more about Egypt and Germany with the insight into their cities that Judaism will give us.

What say the people?

Also, congrats to the 2nd Senate Assembly on a job well done.

715BC Turn Report (End Turn 120)

mongoose201 — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 02:47:13 GMT

Greetings all, a full 10 turns to report:

Before ending turn 110, I re-allocated the citizens to enable Bibracte to grow on the next turn.

[b]850BC Turn 111[/b]

Bibracte Grows to Pop 7. This bring unhealthiness to our Capital, which will subside when the cattle near Vienne is connected.

[b]835BC Turn 112[/b]

Writing is complete. We have begun researching Alphabet, to be complete in 17 turns..

Also..

The road to Vienne has been completed, which means:

[b]820BC Turn 113[/b]

Settler arrives at the approved site for city construction..

And....

Tolosa has become the third city in the vast Celtic Empire.

We have begun contructing a monument. The build time will be decreased by a mine on the copper and growth.

Warrior Driskoll has been moved from the hill to garrison Tolosa.

Let's check on Alasters progress on the Eastern Continent:

[b]805BC Turn 114[/b]

Another chariot has been completed in Bibracte and a worker has begun training (7 turns).

The Chariot drivers name is Ronan, and he moves to the Vienne area to begin patrols of the wilderness.

Also, Scout Alaster tops a hill and finds possible disaster....

It will take all his resolve in the coming battle...

[b]790BC Turn 115[/b]

The battle rages....

And......

Scout alaster not only survives the encounter, but dispatches the barbarian as one might swat a fly...

Brave Alaster must now lay low and recuperate.. (6 turns)

Also:

Pasture complete and cattle connected near Vienne, which supresses the unhealth in Bibracte and greatly increases local food and production.

[b]775BC Turn 116[/b]

The spearman in Vienne as completed training. His name is Ultan, and he has vowed to lay down his life to protect the Celtic homeland...

Worker 1 moves south to help connect Tolosa

Worker 2 moves to create a road to the rice SE of Vienne

[b]760BC turn 117[/b]

Ronan encounters a barbarian in the jungle:

A barbarian who acts foolishly...

with the only result possible...

Ronan is victorious and will recuperate for 2 turns...

Also, as you see in the pic, The Oracle has been build elsewhere.

[b]745BC Turn 118[/b]

Uneventful....

[b]730BC Turn 119[/b]

C.S.S. Doomed is blocked by French cultural borders..

The Senate will need to propose and approve an Open Borders treaty with France to allow passage. Please note that France is very friendly and are our Hindu bretheren...

[b]715BC Turn 120[/b]

Ronan has healed and has resumed his jungle forays...

Bibracte worker will be complete in 1 turn

Vienne monument will be complete in 2 turns

Tolosa monument will be complete in 16 turns

We will finish researching Alphabet in 10 turns...

Senators and other citizens will want to have a look at the save (if able) to determine if you want to propose any treaties with foreign powers such as Open Borders. The Senate does not need me to propose a treaty, they can propose a treaty and vote upon it. This is usefull as sometimes it become difficult to keep track of everything when playing the turns.. Foreign policy is an area in which our Senate can shine.

Attached below:

All 3 City Screens

Game save from the end of turn 120

Note: Senate campaigns can begin at any time... we are only 5 turns from the end of this Senate term. The Senate should also decide if they would like to vote to name a landmark, which is allowed for the Senate once per term.

865BC Turn Report (End Turn 110)

mongoose201 — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 00:05:30 GMT

Greetings all.. a full 10 turns to report...

[b]1000BC Turn 101[/b]

The Wheel is completed and we begin researching Pottery, to be complete in 5 turns..

With the completion of the Wheel, Bibracte's production is switched from settler to chariot (5), after which time, the settler will finish training. Worker 2's chopping of forest will take 5 turns and reduce the time required to complete the settler. Worker 1 begins the process of mining the Iron near Vienne. This will be followed by a road and then a move to the cattle.

Also...

Our religion has spread... very convenient, indeed...

[b]985BC Turn 102[/b]

Of course, as usually happens after a civ newly acquires religion....

A possible ally in the making...

[b]970BC Turn 103[/b]

Nothing to report

[b]955BC Turn 104[/b]

Move along....

[b]940BC Turn 105[/b]

The Chariot in Bibracte will be complete next turn...

[b]925BC Turn 106[/b]

Pottery has been completed... and we started researching Writing (6 turns)...

A wheeled unit has finished training in Bibracte.... Daily he rides through the streets like a wild man, ever vigilant for word of distant barbarians.... His name?..... "Nigellus!" he yells as he speeds past...

Apparently, our second religion of Judaism has spread to Egypt without me noticing the alert or without their being an alert...

Also, the Settler is back in production and will be complete in 4 turns...

Worker 1 has completed the iron mine and is building a road to connect it.

Let's have a look at what Alaster is up to..

[b]910BC Turn 107[/b]

Vienne grows to Pop 2

[b]895BC Turn 108[/b]

Bibracte borders expand....

Alaster's progress:

A barb in the distance to avoid...

[b]880BC Turn 109[/b]

Nothing to see here...

[b]865BC Turn 110[/b]

Settler Complete in Bibracte... We don't have a City Placement request before the Senate, but I think it's safe the City will be to the south, so he begins moving that direction.

I have started construction on another Chariot in Bibracte (5), but it can be changed before play resumes with no issues.

Worker 1 completed the Iron Road, which connects Iron to Vienne. That worker then moved to the cattle and started a pasture... With the connection of Iron to Vienne, the build in that city was automatically switched from warrior to spearman, as you see in the pic above. Also, the Axeman and Gallic Warrior are now available to build in Vienne. They will be available in Bibracte in 3 turns when Worker 2 finishes the road he is currently building.

My idea for Bibracte was to build another chariot and then start building some workers to chop jungle. We really need to start keeping an eye on Bibracte's population to circumvent any unhappiness/unhealthiness problems.

I forgot to take screenshots of the City Screens while I had the game open, but I'll do that tomorrow, or those who have the game can dl it and have a look themselves.

Alaster:

Also, the City Location that will be brought before the Senate... I believe it's one that we have discussed before...

Writing will be complete in 2 turns... I think we should follow that with Alphabet...

1030BC Turn Report (End Turn 100)

mongoose201 — Sun, 03 Jun 2007 12:57:07 GMT

Greetings all,

Per previous Presidential Decree (See 2230BC report), it's time to rename another landmark as this will be the last report of this term..

Therefore, the strip of water between our continent and the French/Arabian/German continent will be henceforth referred to as the Kandian Strait:

This, of course, is named after former 1BCer and famed military strategist, Kanda (also known as Kanda¡ Jalen Eirsie).

Now.. Down to business:

[b]1240BC Turn 93[/b]

Settler complete in Bibracte:

Work has started on another worker, to be complete in 5 turns.

The Settler is moving towards the Senate approved location SE of the cattle.

CSS Doomed comes across a German City:

[b]1210BC Turn 94[/b]

CSS Doomed passage to the East is blocked by Germany's cultural influence. Doomed begins the long trip back to the Kandian Strait (10 turns).

[b]1180BC Turn 95[/b]

Worker begins chopping forrest..

Will be complete in 5 turns

[b]1150BC Turn 96[/b]

The Settler has reached it's destination:

And.....

The City of Vienne is founded in 1150BC...

Update on Alasters progress:

[b]1120BC Turn 97[/b]

Nothing to see here... move along...

[b]1090BC Turn 98[/b]

We have entered the Classical Era because....

Iron Working is complete, and we have started researching The Wheel (3 turns).

Iron close-by, you ask?

This is the only Iron on our continent.

The worker in Bibracte was completed on this turn and is moving toward the Iron hill.

Another Settler has started training in Bibracte to be complete in 12 turns (will be reduced by chopping)

[b]1060BC Turn 99[/b]

A barbarian has been sighted:

Warrior Lochlainn has moved to the Iron Hill to protect the arriving worker... (The Barb moved out of sight on the next turn)

An update on Alasters progress:

He has reached a dead end and will move back to the SW.

[b]1030BC Turn 100[/b]

The 2nd worker has arrived to the Vienne Iron hill... the 1st worker has moved to another forrest tile to begin chopping next turn.

Current Domestic Advisor:

As you see, our heath in Bibracte is 7, and we have a 6 population. It's specifics are eluding me now, but I believe we can increase in pop to 7 without an unhealthiness issue (someone correct me if I'm wrong)

We have a 9 Happiness in Bibracte, so no issues there for the time being.

The Wheel will be complete in 1 turn (Pottery next, to be followed by Writing(?))

Bibracte Settler in 7 turns (What next?)

Vienne Warrior in 18 turns

Greetings All... a full 10 Turn report....

[b]1540BC Turn 83[/b]

Uneventful explorations...

[b]1510BC Turn 84[/b]

Further exploration....

[b]1480BC Turn 85[/b]

We have discovered BronzeWorking.... Which Allows the following:

I haven't been given the authority to enact this civic, but it isn't needed right now and we can switch at a later date. The Senate will need to vote on this issue.

Now, a quick search of our continent only reveals 1 copper resource near the southern lake:

We started Researching Iron Working, to be complete in 16 turns...

[b]1450BC Turn 86[/b]

The second gem mine is complete:

The worker will move to the indicated forrest on the next turn, and will begin chopping the following turn...

[b]1420BC Turn 87[/b]

Ardal is set to as sentry on the Western Continent to monitor Egyptian and Incan activity:

C.S.S. Doomed has reached the southern tip of the Eastern Continent:

Scout Alaster finds a narrow strip of land to reach the other sided of the continent:

[b]1390BC Turn 88[/b]

The worker begins chopping forrest, to be completed in 5 turns:

[b]1360BC Turn 89[/b]

Continued exploration....

[b]1330BC Turn 90[/b]

C.S.S. Doomed comes across the 2nd(?) French city:

Alaster opens up more land on the French/Arab continent:

[b]1300BC Turn 91[/b]

Exploration...

[b]1270BC Turn 92[/b]

2nd(?) Incan city displaces Ardal from his sentry point:

Alaster comes across Arabian city of Medina:

C.S.S. Doomed moves further to the east and....

Current CSS Doomed location:

I'm not sure where the Germans are, but I'm sure the next couple of turns will reveal them.

The Worker completed chopping the forrest, giving us 30 production in the capital. Meaning the Settler will be complete next turn and we'll have quite a head start on next production (Another Settler?)

There is only one rival that we are yet to meet.. Current rivals:

[b]Upcoming turn discussion[/b]

Iron Working will be complete in 6 turns (What next?)

Settler complete next turn (Where is it going?)

The workers chopping task is complete (Where to next?)

Also... We are 8 turns from the completion of the Second Presidential Term, so the campaigns should probably start.

Nothing to report.. further exploration..

[b]1720BC Turn 77[/b]

Nothing to report...

[b]1690BC Turn 78[/b]

A Warrior has finished training in Bibracte... He calls himself [i]Lochlainn[/i], and he has started moving northward to a possible city location near the northeastern desert a stones throw from [i]Barren Keep[/i].

Another warrior has started training, by the time it is complete in 4 turns, Bibracte will have grown to pop6, and will be ready to produce the first of many settlers.

[b]1660BC Turn 79[/b]

As Ardal is exploring the souther half of the Egyptian continent.....

Behold Huayna Capac of the Inca.... the founders of the pagan religion of Buddism...

As Ardals path is now blocked.. he will move back northward to uncover some of the Egyptian land that was bypassed.

[b]1630BC Turn 80[/b]

Bibracte Grows to pop 6 and....

Our Worker has finished his first effort, a mine, bringing us untold riches for the future. He will begin working on the second gem mine asap..

[b]1600BC Turn 81[/b]

Alaster makes landfall on a new continent, while the Doomed turns south to check a possible sighting of a settlement in that area..

[b]1570BC Turn 82[/b]

We have met Saladin of the Arabian Empire...

The Doomed moves south and....

We have met Napoleon of the French....

Also, another Warrior finished his training in Bibracte and work was started on a Settler, to be complete in 12 turns..

The new warrior refers to himself as [i]Driskoll[/i] and is moving to the ESE as another sentry/future city garrison.

I am stopping here for discussion. Many will want to download the save to view Advisor screens and such... I may start adding some of those screens with the next report. I'm trying to give you guys all the info I can, but if you have the ability you should view the save every now and then to get a better sense of the situation.

Bronze Working will be done in 3 turns (What next?)

The Settler will be complete in 12 turns (Where is it going?)

And the 2nd mine will be done in 5 turns (What next, remember we don't have the Wheel yet, but will have the ability to chop forrest)

Greetings all... This turn report closes the proverbial book on the 1st Senate Term...

Before Ending turn 67, as authorized by Senate approval:

[b]1990BC Turn 68[/b]

Galley rerouted to the Eastern side of our continent.

2nd Fish resource acquired.

[b]1960BC Turn 69[/b]

Ardal scouts more of the Egyptian wilderness:

Egypt has their 2nd City up and running... It has already had a cultural growth, although I believe she is creative, which would explain this.

[b]1930BC Turn 70[/b]

Worker Complete

Build Options:

Decided to go with Warrior (3).. to be followed by Settler (12)

Bronze working will be complete in 12.

The first gem mine will be complete in 6 turns.

Let's have a look at the galley's eastward progress:

The galley is 6 turns from giving us more knowledge of the eastern lands. Scout Alaster will board galley as it passes the easter penninsula.

There are two pics attached below. The first is the view of the Egyptian continent (only a couple of tundra tiles are cropped from the top) It appears they have that continent to themselves, which is slightly puzzling. There must be a crowded continent out there somewhere. The second pic is the Turn 75 Bibracte City Screen.

OK.. everyone sound off.. thoughts?

Greetings all... a slightly truncated (although eventful) set of turns because of required Senate Action.

[b]2200BC - Turn 61[/b]

Our galley is complete and needs a name... Perhaps the name for the galley can be put to vote.

A workboat has started construction, to be complete in 6 turns.

Also, Bibracte grows to pop5. Next growth currently at 15 turns, but will change once the 2nd fish resource is acquired.

Ardal climbs aboard the new vessel and it sets forth to explore the northern seas..

2230BC Turn Report (End Turn 60)

mongoose201 — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 00:38:49 GMT

Greetings all... and full 10 turns to report....

First things first... Before ending turn 50, I enabled a new "tradition" which was endorsed by nearly complete silence in the thread which suggested it in Town Square.

This tradition is that at the end of every term, the President can name a square on the map at his discretion. The Senate will also be given the opportunity to vote amongst themselves to name one game tile per term. To ensure some sort of "checks and balance" on the President (the 5 members of the Senate should be able to perform this check on itself), then the Presidents naming selection could be revoked by a majority Senate vote. In addition, we should take care to not name too many tiles in a small area as it would interfere with screenshots. Perhaps a 3-4 tile minimum distance between tags would be appropriate.

Now, in accordance with this, as mentioned above, a tile on the map now has an identity by way of Presidential decree:

If the Senate wishes to name anything, discussions should begin. (Please note that we can name oceans and mountain ranges and such, as well as some role playing based names as above.

Now, to the business at hand:

[b]2500BC Turn 51[/b]

Masonry Complete

Started Monotheism, to be complete in 16 turns.

With Masonry, our unique building is available to build:

[b]2470BC Turn 52[/b]

More work to do once we have a viable labor force.....

[b]2260BC Turn 59[/b]

Nothing to see here... move along.....[/Frank Drebend]

[b]2230BC Turn 60[/b]

City Growth to Pop 5 and the Galley is complete next turn. Monotheism will be complete in 7 turns.

Serious Discussion Time:

Citizen Placement Upon Growth: The Turn 60 Bibracte Screen is attached. We need to decide if we want to stick with the default placement or move the citizen. I have to assume the default placement will be on the second fish tile. Do we want to stay there or do we want one of the tiles with production?
With Monotheism being complete in 7 turns, we are at least 15-17 turns away from having anything for a worker to do. I will list the current builds available below and the current length of time required to build. So, we need to determine what to build, if anything (or we may start building something, change the build to a worker so that it will be complete just in time to be put to work, and then finish the original construction, much like we did with the monument earlier in the game) before a worker.
What tech to we research after mono? Mining right away (8 turns) or the Wheel or Agriculture (10 turns for both)

Current pertinent build times:

Settler - 17 turns

Worker - 10

Warrior - 4

Workboat - 8

Dun - 13

Barracks - 13

Lighthouse - 15

[b]Unit Locations[/b]

Warrior Nicodemus - Bibracte

The most highly suggested build was a trireme, but that isn't available till Bronze Working... So, a galley has started construction to be complete in 13 turns. Ardal will make his way to Bibracte in time for the launching of the galley as he will be the Community's first seafaring scout.

2830BC Turn Report (End Turn 40)

mongoose201 — Sun, 08 Apr 2007 17:26:30 GMT

Greetings all... another 10 turns for your enjoyment and facination...

[b]3100BC Turn 31[/b]

Nothing special to report...

[b]3070BC Turn 32[/b]

The last uncovered non-mountainous area of our continent has been uncovered by Alaster and is more jungle. (screenshots to follow below)

Alaster begins moving east toward the tip of the eastern penisula in the hopes of sighting distant lands from the shore..

[b]3040BC Turn 33[/b]

Ardal works to push out the sight lines offshore in the southern part of the continent as far as possible. (screenshots to follow)

[b]3010BC Turn 34[/b]

Land Ho!!!! To the Northwest, uncovered by our expanding borders..

We now know that we can reach other lands by galley... What isn't known is the size of the land mass. It may only be a small island.. Time will tell..

[b]2980BC Turn 35[/b]

Ardal has exposed all the coastline in the south that he can.. he begins making his way toward the southern border of Bibracte. He will likely take up a sentry post on a hill to watch the southern badlands..

Sailing will be complete in 5 turns..

the Workboat will also be complete in 5 turns, although that will diminish with the city growth next turn.

[b]2950BC Turn 36[/b]

Bibracte Grows to Population 3.

The Third citizen is placed on the forrested hill 2 North of the City center. This lowers the build time for the Work Boat to 2 turns from the default 3.

The City Screen from Turn 36 is attached below. (CityScreen.jpg)

[b]2920BC Turn 37[/b]

Ardal takes up a sentry position on a hill to the south of Bibracte. From here he can alert the capital to any threats a few turns earlier than we might become aware of a threat otherwise.

[b]2890BC Turn 38[/b]

The Work Boat has been completed and is moved to the nearest school of fish... Work has recontinued on the previously started monument...

Alaster has reached the eastern most tip of the continent... and hails with a hearty voice.. "Land Ho!...."

He has been ordered to take up a sentry position at this location, but is open to any suggestions for further orders.

[b]2860BC Turn 39[/b]

Fishing has begun offshore...

The Third citizen has been moved from the forrested hill to begin fishing.

City Growth in 8 turns

Monument completed in 10..

Sailing complete next turn..

[b]2830 Turn 40[/b]

Here are the choices for further research..

We have started researching The Wheel, but as the turn is not complete, it can be changed without penalty after discussion if need be.

3130BC Turn Report (End Turn 30)

mongoose201 — Sat, 07 Apr 2007 02:31:43 GMT

Greetings all.... another action packed (or not) 10 turns to report....:)

[b]3400BC Turn 21[/b]

Nothing to report.... More southern exploring by Alaster... Warrior Complete Next turn...

[b]3370BC Turn 22[/b]

A warrior has completed his training in Bibracte... the citizens rejoice the new city garrison. The warrior calls himself Nicodemus, but the children who follow him through the city streets have shortened it to Nico, which he isn't fond of, but tolerates for the time being...

A monument has started construction, although rumor has it that construction could face delays pending a possible breakthrough in finding a better way to lash logs together to venture out onto the sea in search of food...

Alaster continues his push to the south....

Alaster sets up camp between the twin peaks and is saddened by the realization that this seems to be the southern tip of the land mass.... He hopes to find another civilization to mingle with further east...

[b]3340BC Turn 23[/b]

Scout Ardal has completed his recuperation process and has started the journey south. Songs are sung about his bravery in the taverns of Bibracte...

[b]3310BC Turn 24[/b]

The sad news filters back to Bibracte... we are all alone in the known universe... Priorities change for Bibracte elders... They now know that we must learn how to venture farther out onto the murky seas as soon as possible....

[b]3280BC Turn 25[/b]

Our scientists and craftsmen have been busy, indeed. The craftsmen have been temporarily pulled off of the monument project to build one of the new fishing vessels (15 turns)....

The Scientists have already started trying to find a way to sail greater distances... (Sailing in 15 turns)

[b]3250BC Turn 26[/b]

The scouts Ardal and Alaster work to fill in the still foggy areas of the continent. The hope is to find another village, but it seems unlikely at this point.... (Screenshots coming below)

[b]3220BC Turn 27[/b]

Ardal, in his travels, has found himself in yet another tense situation...

He braces for an attack and is happy that he at lease has some sort of cover this time, instead of being completely exposed on the open plains....

[b]3190BC Turn 28[/b]

Ardal escapes battle when the lion moves away, no doubt sensing that the battle hardened Scout wasn't worth a long battle which the lion instinctively knew it could easily lose...

[b]3160BC Turn 29[/b]

Entire Southern half of continent is exposed... Screenshot attached below (SouthernHalf.jpg)..

Alaster is moving towards the last unexposed area of the continent..

[b]3130BC Turn 30[/b]

Sailing in 10 turns at current rate...

Fishing Boat in 10 turns at current rate..

Bibracte Growth to pop3 in 6 turns..

3430BC Turn Report (End Turn 20)

mongoose201 — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 22:21:21 GMT

Greetings fellow citizens... a full 10 turns to report.....

[b]3700BC Turn 11[/b]

Nothing to report... Ardal continues exploration....New Scout next turn

[b]3670BC Turn 12[/b]

A scout has been trained. A warrior has started training and the current pace of training has him fully equiped in 11 turns...

The new scout, fresh out of his training, has been labeled "Alaster". His voyage into the primordial mist has only just begun... At the ends of the known world, Scout Ardal has come across a village..

Of course, he enters the village with great fanfare and expects the courtesy due him... Alas, no knowledge has been found... only some spare coins....

[b]3640BC Turn 13[/b]

Shortly after leaving the peasants in the village behind, Ardal is ambushed!

Against all odds, Ardal faced down a deadly black panther in open plains... Certain death for many to be sure, but the long years on the frontier have hardened Ardal into something he couldn't have imagined those long years ago when he set out upon his journeys....

For 3 days the battle raged.... at points the combatants were so exhausted that they collapsed in pools of their own blood and sweat and stared at each other till they had enough strength to renew the fight...

It was in these lulls in combat that Ardal surmised the the panther had been released for just this purpose by the peasants in the last village...

No matter at this point.. what's done is done.. In the end, the panther was finally defeated by stumbling onto the dropped axe of Ardal... And inglorious end, to be sure, after such a struggle....

The battle raged fo so long, that wolves have grown curious.... Not being in any shape for a battle, Ardal must retreat to the Forrest and Jungle to have any chance to heal...

[b]3610BC Turn 14[/b]

Alasters first reports have filtered back to Bibracte....

It's pretty slow going in the jungle... And now that word has filtered back about Ardal, Alaster must track South more quickly than he had intended to make up for the recuperation of his fellow explorer...

Ardal has found a spot that seems to be away from the wolves... hopefully he can begin the healing process..

[b]3580BC Turn 15[/b]

Ardal's healing finally begins (8 turns:()

How about a view of the Eastern frontier... Full Screenshot attached at bottom (FrontierView.jpg)

[b]3550BC Turn 16[/b]

Alaster continues to explore.... He will enter his first village next turn...

Bibracte growth and Polytheism in 2 turns....

[b]3520BC Turn 17[/b]

Alaster enters the tribal village warily after tales of Ardal's trials have filtered across the wilderness.... Still after a careful search... all that's found is gold... 71 gold pieces. In a fit of rage, Alaster burns the village to the ground vowing to not be ambushed after leaving...

[b]3490BC Turn 18[/b]

Behold.....

Which... of course, means......

The incantations have begun, and, due to our spiritual nature, were quickly completed..

We were also notified by the winds that on the same turn, Buddism was founded in a distant land....

We started researching Fishing... to be complete in 7 turns...

[b]3460BC Turn 19[/b]

Alaster continues his southward journey.. Ardal continues his recovery from panther wounds...

[b]3430BC Turn 20[/b]

Alaster discovers a bay in the southern frontier....

3730BC Turn Report (Turn 10)

mongoose201 — Sun, 01 Apr 2007 14:02:42 GMT

Greetings Citizens, we were able to get through a full 10 turns, so I'll try and get everyone up to speed.

[b]Turn 1 4000BC[/b]

Turn 1, of course, had already begun previously with the moving of our scout, Ardal.

All that remained to accomplish in 4000BC was the founding of our capital city, Bibracte (decided to go with default... We waited too long to discuss city naming and Bibracte was a very important city in Celtic history. We should start thinking now about City 2 if we want to differ from default)

As you can see, we have begun researching Polytheism in order to get Hinduism first (cross fingers)

Also... what is that to the south? oooooooohhhhhhhh... a goodie hut, no less.... Dare I say Huttage? (for the Old Timers)

Bibracte City Screen:

We did start building a new scout to be completed in 11 turns.

[b]Turn 2 3970BC[/b]

Uneventful.... More scouting by Ardal, pics in later turns...

[b]Turn 3 3940BC[/b]

Ardal continues scouring the countryside to the NE:

What's this? Another goodie hut! What goodness awaits us next turn.... I can't wait....

[b]Turn 4 3910BC[/b]

A map it is, although not particularly useful from an exploration perspective. It does, however, give us knowledge that we have noone on our land to the north to worry about.

[b]Turn 5 3880BC[/b]

Uneventful... more exploration...

[b]Turn 6 3850BC[/b]

Uneventful.... exploration pics next turn..

[b]Turn 7 3820BC[/b]

Scout Ardal has been trevailing the wilderness in a very steadfast manner... He has travelled far into the void:

In his travels, Ardal has come across another river and sees that it's much larger than the one that passes near Bibracte...

Speaking of Bibracte, time for an update on that front:

2 turns until our cultural presence compells the leaders of the tribal village to share their mysterious ways....

[b]Turn 8 3790BC[/b]

Ardal moves to the northeast and.... whaaaa?

He enters the village and the locals cannot help but pay tribute to the newcomer...

How very thoughtful of them, Ardal thought, although he did a complete search of all mudhuts to be sure they weren't hiding some mysterious knowledge.... to no avail..

Bibracte cultural expansion next turn....

[b]Turn 9 3760BC[/b]

Culture pops....

....

.....

Curious?

.....

....

Behold, we have been regaled with new knowledge, courtesy of the southern village!

oooohhhhh...

I hope we have some horses close by......

Oh... look, we do.... they run wild through the city streets!

In the amazing words of someone who won't be born for nearly 6000 years.."Wiiiiillllld Horses...... couldn't drag me awaaaaayyyyy"

This certainly makes things interesting.....

Southern View:

More Jungle and another potential gem mine...

[b]Turn 10 3730BC[/b]

Ardal continues his journeys.... tales of his heroism filter back to Bibracte every now and then, but contact has been sporadic, at best...

And... Bibracte comes ever closer to it's first unit training becoming complete..

Perhaps a view of the city screen for the technically minded out there...

New Scout will be complete in 2 turns... Poly in 8 turns..

How about a full view?

mongoose201 — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 22:36:50 GMT

Greetings all,

I created the game file with the options that were selected in the polls...... And... our civ is....

And have a look at this starting position...... :w00t:

Quite the fantastic starting position.

Now... since we are aware of our Civ, we can get our role-playing chops heated up a bit....

How about a Name Generator or two to come up with some cool names:

http://www.geocities.com/phillipriley/otngceltic.html <-- This one is fairly straight forward

http://www.behindthename.com/random/ <-- This one has all kinds of cool options including Celtic Mythology names and Ancient Celtic.

"Lugus Cuchulainn Arthur".... now that's a name :)

Discuss!

4000BC Mid Turn Report

mongoose201 — Thu, 29 Mar 2007 21:19:37 GMT

Greetings Fellow Citizens,

First, a reminder of our starting position:

In the year of our random deity, 4000BC, and intrepid scout of 1BC set forth into the wilderness. Not wanting the scout to breech the void nameless, tribal leader mongoose dubbed the scout Ardal.

Ardal was able to penetrate the darkness and shed some light on a few new areas:

Although Ardal isn't able to discern everything in the mist as of yet, he seems to have an intuition about such things, and as such, has suggested what he believes lies beyond his current sight.

Further progress in this turn requires Senate action.
