Ok, both Sharp and Ecowiz are in. But that closes the "slots" available. No new players will join us unless someone drops-out.

I checked Mercator's profile, and he hasn't posted anything since 23rd. So I propose, just as an exception, that Sharp continues to play in place of Mercator. I believe that we could let them play because Mercator has already played, and Sharp and Ecowiz haven't yet.

So, Sharp [and Eco], welcome aboard! You may take the kingdom! Please play no more than 20 turns!

I'm still alive! I didn't visit Apolyton a while and when I wanted to Apolyton was down...

Since the last attachment hasn't been downloaded yet, I'll play right now. Sharpe and EcoWiz can join in after me...

For the record, I guess that would make the playing order look like this:

Zealot
Hydey
Marcel I
Mercator
Sharpe
Ecowiz Returns

750: The poorly defended Meteor City is being attacked by a Jahree Ixion, but survives the attack. Planetville is founded.

(I may have forgotten some things here... My computer crashed, and while I had just saved my game, I hadn't saved my log yet)

650: Expedient Hierarchy discovered, the people revolt and want a Hierarchy, in the meantime a period of Pandemonium ensues. Free Expression is now being researched.

625: The new Hierarchy forms. More attention is paid to science. An Arabber leaves for Iihi.
600: An Guardian from the Clerisy meets us. We acquire Merchant Marine in the conversation that follows. A peace treaty is signed.

500: "M" signs off from duty. Another uninteresting reigning period ends.

You can usually tell from the amount of downloads a savegame has... Although not in the last case, because I downloaded it myself once to test. I had experienced some problems with another attachment so I wanted to make sure this one worked.

But anyway, good point.

Not much to say until:
80 PE: Founded Rocket Center SE Outpost One.
140 PE: Star City (capital) begins to build the Wizard Scouts Wonder (+1 data/sqr) for 29 turns
150 PE: Refused alliance with the Funesti against the Clerisy for 50 Bp. Why aren't the Funesti destroyed by us already?
Hydey?
180 PE: I just got the news that the Clerisy have almost finished contructing Wizard Scouts!!! What the Heck is going on here?!?! Why weren't we notified???
Argh! Mercator! Sharp! Whose fault is it?!?
200 PE: Switched to Fleck's Genesis... Starcraft is right around the Corner, and it's an important tech, wich shouldn't be delayed.
Arabber from Meteor City to Cittrah for 20 Bp...

These were my first 10 turns. I'll play 10 more tomorrow.
I accept advices!

Wizard's Scouts (Colossus) will expire soon enough at Xenobiology - not too far ahead, so it isn't that big of a deal if we don't get it. Besides Fleck's Genesis (Darwin's Voyage) will be useful.

I think we desperately need to connect our cities with roads, fill in the areas of our "territory" with cities - which I consider to be at least from the Funesti in the west to the east coast and as far south as we can go - don't think we should go much further north - that should also get rid of those nasty barbarian ophion outbreaks which plagued my last 10 turns.

Also build more workshops and guild libraries so that we can pump out colonists for orbit as fast as we can. Also need to build laboratories in our key science cities.

Just my 2 cents of advice.

Unfortunatly for us, Xenobiology is that far away, and it would be a really good boost in our research! And Wiz's scouts are cheap, much cheapper than Fleck's Genesis. If I got an alternative wonder I'd rather switch than to build Fleck's Genesis. I prefer a long-term beneficial wonder than just two techs I can probably get by exploring those wreckages scattered around the world.


Thanks for the advice. I've been investing on workshops so far. But I still don't get why is so important to get all our cities connected by road, when we're already a Monarchy and there's plenty of Graminae (grassland) to irrigate in our cities' radius!

Oh, Btw, our tech is almost researched. Is there any specific tech you would like me to head to ASAP, or may I choose myself? I'm pondering about Starcraft...

220 PE: Discovered Flying Machines (Annulus unit). I'm going for Genetic Artistry, so we can have Transceratops (6/2/1-2/2) and Mutandis Museum (Colosseum), since only the aliens can have the tech to build an Orrery (Temple).
Cleresy start building Sir Arthur's Stone (J. S. Back's Cathedral) - expires with Starcraft, wich we can research any time we want to.
240 PE: Lost Moonburg's colonist for Barbarian Ophion.
260 PE: I found a free colonist a considerable bit north of the Funesti. I'm going to build a city up there with it, but I believe the Cleresy may not be far away...
280 PE: I found a city with a wreckage, west of the Funesti, across the ocean (Peenemunde)
Found Radioplastics in a wreckage! Cool! It has the R.A.T. (3/2*/2-2/2)!
Tivallani build Roescoe's Circus (Hanging Gardens)- an eclusive alien wonder. It's obsolete the moment we discover the tech we're researching!
300 PE: Founded new city with that colonist up north (Verne City)
340 PE: Population reaches 700,000
380 PE: Stole Arete (useless tech) from the Ihibahitian (orange) city Ioaia.
400 PE: Time to give emperor Hydey the legitimacy to rule the Empire!

Nice to see that the game is moving quickly (ie less time to my turn again )

By the way, Zealot, my apologies if I sounded overbearing in my earlier post, of course we should choose our own strategies, tech choices etc., I think that the different methods used is what makes succession games interesting and fun !

I think so...
Although my last 20 turns took me quite a bit of time, so don't be surprised if I only play 10 turns next time I play.
But it's ok to keep with the 20 turns/player, if you want to!

PE 1100: Still nothing very interesting, except that my plans for attacking the Clerisy have to be changed, since there are a bunch of Annuli lurking around.
PE 1110: New Clerisy city, Seven, discovered...
PE 1130: von Braunberg founded. The Clerisy are willing to give us 800 Bp for a cease fire... Cease fire signed, that'll give us some time to build up our military.
PE 1170: Peenemunde attacked by Tivallani Ixion, Repeller destroyed. Luckily a Colonist is built just now, so we will be able to maintain the city for one more turn at least. VTOL discovered, now researching Confederation.
PE 1180: Ixion retreats. (And I've wasted money on an Intelliraptor )
PE 1190: My conclusions were a bit premature, the Peenemunde Colonist has been destroyed by another Ixion.

My humble city planning suggestions for the future... Cities at (75, 39) and (49, 61). The last one will block off the Engineer peninsula (?) as well as provide a passageway through the isthmus.
By the way, do we need to keep all Alien races alive, or is one enough?
