Succession #2: The Mighty Irish! Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Okay folks.
The file's on it's way to #1 on the list.
I have seeded the game at 4000BC on Very Hard, 8 Civs, Huge map, Irish, (No Title - but I put the word Succesion #2 in that spot), Earth-world random, Patch but no Mods.. I think that's it.

It looks like you are starting out with 2 settlers on a patch of plains next to a couple rivers. Looks like a pretty good start.

Good luck and have lots of fun!

Oh, almost forgot: Here's the current player list.

1) tedwright@email.msn.com
2) Mokael - Mokael@aol.com
3) TR|X - mikemcgowan@btinternet.com
4) Redstar1 - david.archibald@btinternet.com
5) David Murray - david@windygates.com
6) Vilius - ctp@vilius.com
7) Jackazzstudent - AdamBRobinson@yahoo.com
8) me_irate - me_irate@hotmail.com
9) Darkknight - Gondhi_dm@hotmail.com.
10) bj - blakjack@planetquake.com
11) rooboy - arb77@optushome.com.au

Ted - I forgot your alias, sorry, I guess we'll find out soon enough when you post the first summary.

Okay, there you have it.
72 hours from approximately 1700 site time is now in effect.

Okay, that sounds like a good plan.
I am sending the same file to #7.

That's Adam (Jackazzstudent)
Levelisk you will be #12.

Therefore the current setup looks like this:
TEAM 1
1) tedwright@email.msn.com
2) Mokael - Mokael@aol.com
3) TR|X - mikemcgowan@btinternet.com
4) Redstar1 - david.archibald@btinternet.com
5) David Murray - david@windygates.com
6) Vilius - ctp@vilius.com

TEAM 2
7) Jackazzstudent - AdamBRobinson@yahoo.com
8) me_irate - me_irate@hotmail.com
9) Darkknight - Gondhi_dm@hotmail.com.
10) bj - blakjack@planetquake.com
11) rooboy - arb77@optushome.com.au
12) Levelisk - jeffrey@thecases.com

Team 1 and 2 are playing from exactly the same starting point at 4000BC.
But from that point on things will diverge....

Just so there's no confusion, I'll start another thread for TEAM 2 right now.
Vilius, when the game gets to you, send the file to tedwright and
Levelisk, when the game gets to you, send the file to Jackazzstudent.
That way we keep a constant rotation of 6 players.

Any questions, post here or the other thread.

Just a quick note: Ted e-mailed me and is having trouble with the file. I'm not sure if he installed the patch or not. If he has not, then that's the reason for the problem and it's easily fixed. Otherwise, I'm not sure what's wrong. Jackazzstudent, if you have the same problem, let us know.

Skeeve,

If you'd like, I will administer Irish/team2 from now on. Will that help you out? Just let me know what the responsibilities are and I'll take the load off your back. I have plenty of time since I just graduated and joined the ranks of the underemployed. It figures, after 10 unprecedented years of economic expansion, I would graduate with a recession on the horizon.

Could it be possible that every players would take a pic of the map(borders visible) in his last round? IT would be nice to see how you are expanding.

You would need some site where to add maps and of course add linkt to the map to your texts

Got spare money?

Adam,

Yes!, that would be a great help.
Here's what you'll need to do:

Keep a list of everyone's e-mail addresses.
Currently, for TEAM 2, that is:

7) Jackazzstudent - AdamBRobinson@yahoo.com
8) me_irate - me_irate@hotmail.com
9) Darkknight - Gondhi_dm@hotmail.com.
10) bj - blakjack@planetquake.com
11) rooboy - arb77@optushome.com.au
12) Levelisk - jeffrey@thecases.com

Then, try and keep up with the posts, so if someone invokes the 72-hour rule you can help enforce it by serving a reminder to the person who may be holding things up.

Usually, it's good to hold on to the most current game file, in case of problems. However, it's not necessary for everyone to send the file to you after each of their turns.

Finally, keep a running list of any new players wishing to join.

I think that covers it. I'll let you know if there's anything else I was doing.
Thanks for the help!
And I hope you find a job soon, too. (At least one that pays!)

Mokael, thanks, that would be great.
I'll hand it over to you as soon as we get the file problem resolved.
That way I won't be handing the problem over to you.

By the way; here's the message Ted sent:

quote:

file you e-mailed to me shows up in it's own folder when I am viewing through desktop. file does not show up in graphics based game directory but my folder is there and is able to be opened.


He mentioned that he has the patch.

By the way guys, I'm at work right now, but I'll be off in about 4 hours, so you can expect some movement of that file either by Ted or myself in about that much time.

hmm, I've got two suggestion for Ted's problems:

1) make sure that the file with the folder is where it's suppose to be -- in the saved games folder

2) copy file into one of already existing folders in saved game folder (if there is none -- start game, and save it. that will create one)

hope that helps

Just wondering....

Since we are having problems, and since most of us know where the other empires are (from reading about team 2s exploits), should we not start again and give ourselves a clean start, new map and all that?

Just a thought....

I sent the 4000BC file to Mokael. If he can't get the thing to work, then
I recommend that Ted start a new game as suggested. Of course it will make the Team 1/Team 2 distinction meaningless, but oh what the hay?

Ok, I've played my 20. Those are the fastest ones, eh? Anyhow, here it is:


The Chronicles of the first ruler of Irish People -- Mokael The Founder

"Spread and Populate!"

4000 BC - Consul of Elders met this year and decided, that all clans and families of the Irish tribe should come and live together in a large community they called "village". Thus was established the Dublin. Same Consul choose a well known chieftan Mokael to oversee this village. However, that lead to a split of Irish people, as group of clans, opposing Elders' choice of a leader, left to establish their own settlement.
First standards of the empire are set. Wages and Food are set at normal, while production is set to max. Public Works tax doesn't exist. Wise men of the tribe come forth with an idea to develop a system of markings to express opinions and improve communications. They call it writing. Funds are allcoated for the studies and research
And so, it begins ...

3975 BC - Second clan reports that they've sited ruins of some sort. They're planning on investigating them as soon as possible

3950 BC - The Second Tribe explored ruins and found them completely abandoned (bloody nothin'!)

3925 - 3900 BC - One of the close Mokael's friends discovers a strangely testing liquid, that loosens up tounges and makes opposite sex to look very attractive. After several years of debates, the green (!) potion is named "Beer" (yeah, just moved settlers down the river)

3875 BC - Second tribe has found a vast body of water, disappearing beyonf the horizon . They called it a "sea"! While back in Dublin -- Mokael personally commisoned a first ever warrior regement. Thus, the new class in Irish society was establsihed. Since that day, Mokael relied on his Warriors not only to ptorect him, but to carry out his will.

3850 BC - Consul of Elders is all but disbanded, since members of warrior clans find their way into government (yup, nothing happened)

3825 BC - Unable to walk away from the might and beauty of the sea, 2nd tribe establishes their own settlement next to the delta of the River. They called it Blarney.

3800 BC - Merchant from Dublin succesfully markets Green Beer in Barley (nada)

3775 BC - One of the Warrior patrol regiments sites ruins of an old settlement

3750 BC - As the first regiment is send to explore ruins, another newly commisoned regiment continues to explore borders around Dublin. It was then that the Key of the Great Irish River was founded! An altar was bujild at that place, to praise the Goddess of River - provider of Irish People (afer all - we're a river-vaely civilization, are we not?)

3725 BC - Ruins are explored to found dust, skulls, and rats. (Bloody nothin, again!)

3700 BC - Regiment of warriors discovers a small river to the north. Not being too bright, the Chief of the Regiment names it .. The Norther River.

3675 BC - First ever Green Beer festival is held in Dublin (yup, nada)

3650 BC - Reports from the not-too-bright-warrior-chief come in. Apparently, the northern frontier of the Land of Irish is bordered by sands.

3625 BC - More ruins has been sited to the South-East of Dublin.

3600 BC - Yet more ruins were sited. This time - West of Dublin.

3575 BC - In the SE set of ruins a warrior regiment has discovered a marvelous buildings made of ... stone! After careful study, the smartest of the regiment men declared that they know how to build structures of the stone. Elders laugh at them - everybody knows that it's impossible to build anything out of stone, but a knife! Stone Workers Guild is established to prove them wrong ...

3550 - In the western ruins Irish Warriors run into a long lost Irish tribe! (a settler unit). Meanwhile up north -- ruins has been sited in the Great Northern Dessert.

3525 - It was the sad year, as the first leader of Irish People, called by many Mokael The Founder, passed away, whispering with his last breath the last bits of wisdom - "Spread, and Populate". Before even the burial mound with all the King's weapons, wifes and horses finished burning, the most prominent chiefs of Warrior Class prepared to battle for the throne. But who will emerge to lead the glorious tribe? Only time will tell ...

We've got 2 cities. Both are size two and have 1 Warrior unit for garrison. Both cities are building Warrior units. Cities are conected by a river. We have 1 Settler unit which I started to move North, to the second small river (river tiles yield more prod and food). We also have 4 Warriors spread out on exploring missions. 12 turns till discovering Writing. hmm, I think that's it. Spread and Populate!
btw, I saved the game at the end of my 20th turn -- year of 3525.

Mok
