said he downloaded the game, and hasn't given
any news about it, I propose Marcel lose his

Sharpe rises to power again.

First notices that we are nearly bankrupt ! (around 90 Bps) and that we desperately need more money and to build happiness buildings; although we have nearly discovered the tech to get to the third planet.

PE 1824 - Built Great Games wonder (changed from Milquetoast)
Largest civilizations: Us, Engineers, Vallan, PonnJahr, Iihibati and Cherisy
PE 1826 - Vallan develop VTOL (Shuttle), ceasefire with Iihibati expires but both sides remain neutral until the end of the session
PE 1828 - Engineers discover Woodworking (LOL that is pathetic)
We discover Forward Vectoring and reach 13 million citizens.
PE 1830 - An environeer was destroyed near Mercuria. Iihibati and Engineers sign peace treaty (more on this development later).
PE 1832 - Build Hohmann unit allowing us to reach Naumachia (and for the aliens to reach it too). As a result we also get the D116 tech for free. Also attacked and destroyed a Jahree Plasman east of Pluto Station. Later found a SSTO pad to Funestis (in Jahree territory) and covered it with a bolter to prevent them from using it (but leaving it open for us to use if necessary)
PE 1834 - Angered wreckage west of Mars city in orbit and 8 raptors appeared. They destroyed 2 environeers, but our Hammer unit has destroyed most of them by the end of the Sharpe's rule.
PE 1836 - Vallan have nearly completed Taniq Planetarium (now obsolete) and then suddenly abandon it and they develop Frictionless surfaces. Environmental revolt near Jupiterville , corsairs appear. We discover Chaos Biogenics and found our first city on Naumachia - Io City.
PE 1838 - Build Oceanus Field wonder; Jahree and Vallans demand 50 Bp for tribute, Sharpe refuses and they renew war.
PE 1840 - Iihibati and Engineers sign Iihi Pact to contain our aggression. Engineers develop Plasma Engines (Hammer). Our cease fire with the Engineers expires, and they prompt sneak attack us with no damage. Sharpe destroys over a dozen units clearing a path to invade into the heart of Engineer territory.
Population reaches 14 million citizens.

Also destroyed about ten units along the border with the Jahree (PE 1836-1840).

Sharpe retires at end of PE 1840.

Situation report:
I may have played one too many turns, sorry.

I have built a lot of happiness buildings and have rebuilt some of the treasury. With the Jahree incursion onto our orbital platform we need to finish colonizing that platform as well as develop 5-6 cities on Naumachia and search for the alien cities there (due to the Sci fi bug that allows the aliens to reach Naumachia despite not having the tech to do so yet.)

We are at war with the Engineers, Vallans and Jahree; no treaty with the Iihibati and at a ceasefire with the Cherisy - in other words, the AIs are starting to gang up on us already. Of course, we should destroy the Engineers now that they have foolishly attacked us. The Vallans might become a threat eventually, especially on Naumachia.

Great turn Sharpe. I really depleated our treasury (let's call it an expansionary economic policy ).

One question though:

Why did you gave up on Milquetoast for Great Games?
I don't recall what Great Games does but I though Milquetoast would gives a interesting military boost. What was your angle on that?

Please, do not see this as some kind of criticism from "the former ruler that saw his plans being blundered by the new leader". See it more as a oportunity to learn from other's views and experiences.

This was quick! Only another player in between.

Maybe Prof could have his go now, to give some lag between my plays (so that I don't ruin it all at once and I can play my turn on the weekend ).

What do you think, Zealot?

I was only joking about the depleted funds, Ecowiz - from what I read about your turn you did a lot of good. I was actually more concerned that our luxury rate was too high - and that was necessary due to the lack of happiness buildings.

So I decided to build them, as I know that most people find building those things boring and prefer crushing their opponents cities. I have so far taken on the role in the game to try to build up the number of cities, roads/railroads and infrastructure.

I don't think anyone can "ruin" things too much, especially in 10 turns. We are completely dominant in the game - the AI ganging up on us clearly shows that. In my opinion, the only bad way of playing civ is by losing too many cities, falling behind in tech too much or by seeing the famous "extinction" scene or letting another civ win hehe.

We have nearly reached the tech where Milquetoast would expire - Emergent Systems - in fact we will likely have it by 1844, while Great Games/ Hanging Gardens doesn't expire until Disintegration a long way off and I thought that it would help with the happiness problem. I tend to emphasize on those wonders which don't expire or last a long time.

	The reign of the Wise One Get a bigger avatar today!

1842: My period of command started with celebrations In Thuviana at the prospect of such a gret and magnificent leader.
(Okay so It was more likely to do with the hologaming arcade they built but hey, this my history.)
Orion station built an environeer and Bonestell built city shields.
The citizens of Obergopolis were becoming worried about the lack of food they had stored.
1844: Both Rocket centre and Second Outpost joined the celebration . Jupiterville built an investment house and Ursa city shields.
One of the Environeers based in Obergopolis is transfered to Orion Station to releave the formers food shortage.
Horror of horrors, the Vallan take Io city on numanchia , Its desroyed in the attack and they gain knowledge of Basic Automnation.
1846: The celebration in Rocket Centre is cancelled as a mark of respect for our brave pioneers.
Planetville builds an orrery, Second out post builds a Garrison.
After a hard fought battle our esteemed troops captured the Engineer Feyman City.
Valuable Salvage worth 100BP was found and we learnt that the vallan have gained knowledge of the Swarming Path.
1848: Thuviana and Second outpost stop celebrating, And Europa falls in to disorder.
Orion Station and Star city both finish work on new environeers and Uranopolis builds a justice network.
In retribution for the destruction of Io City, the vallan city of **** is destroyed on numanchia.
1850: Although the wise and magnificent leader Ben was sur he hired some entertainers there last turn Europa is still striking.
Our mighty armies make light work of the defenses in Pig City (Engineer) and it is swiftly occupied.
The engineers discover mechanized Armour. Oh great now they'll have Iron maidens defending their citys.
1851: Tsiotkosky builds and investment house.
WLT*D is cancelled in venus town.
Discovered Humanics, Started adaptive eugenics for the free advance.
Yet more ground is gained against the engineers when we capture Gamma town, where a workshop is imediatly rushbuilt.
1852: Thuviana builds environeer, Gamma Town Builds a workshop, Planetville builds sphacelatorium and Second Outpost builds an orrery which sends it in to celebration, along with Venus town.
1853: Jupiterville and Mercator city both build garrisons and Von Braunburg builds City shields.
Destroyed the Engineer city of lyman alpha and captured a barbarian leader.
1852: Biochaos near Van Allen Town
Uranopolis+Planetville-environeer
Mars city + Venus Town- Celebrating
The clerisy demand Basic Automation, , And when I dont give it to them they declare war. YAY!!!!
The fine Pasttitcos of the northen army take Elder lodgewith out much hassle and the Clerisic Empire is no more.
Then through a mix up in communication a pastittico assigned to keeping back the vallan moves the wrong way and captures Pacor Nog. . Sorry!
1855: Van Allen town builds Emergence Centre
WLT*D cancelled in Comet Town and Venus Town
Second Outpost builds a Transmogrifier
Elder lodge builds Workshop
Star city builds Geniepark
Scientists discover Adaptive eugenics, took Prionic stabilizers as free advance and start Allotropics.

Its been a fairly good run, I got left in a fairly good place and I think I've left us better off.
Progress against the engineers is going to be difficult now that they have Iron Maidens But Bring on the spys.

Good run - glad you got rid of the Cherisy.

Yeah, I was worried about the Vallans reaching Naumachia due to that bug where they can reach it without the required tech.
Unfortunately, we can't build pasticcios there.

We had better send some attack units there to prevent them from founding too many cities and from taking ours (once we build them again).

The rumour was confirmed. Out from the darkness, Ecowiz returned . The grim face allowed no mistakes. This time he was ready to wage war against the enemies of the Empire.

PE 1856
Lots of unhappy cities! Had to rush buid some happy improvements. Also raised entertainement.
Build Ganimede on Naumachia

PE 1857
Just a bit of entertainment was enough to make many cities celebrate!
Conquered Alpha Town to the Engeneers.

PE 1858
Conquered Delta Town to the Engeneers.
Valan destroy Ganimene. I should have learned form past history.
When can we attack this foul creatures? :doitnow:

PE 1859
Convinced Engeneer city Expansion to join the Empire.
Conquered Pelucid to the Engeneers.

PE 1861
Conquered Tarcha to the Engeneers.

PE 1862
Scientists discouver Allotropics. Next assignment: invent a new breed - Proteus Sapiens.

Situation: at war with all civilizations we have contact with.

A bit hawkish this turn of mine. Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to wage peace.
At first I was a bit worried with the Jahree, near Mercuria (lots of unit there). But when they decided to wage war, it was a massacre... to them .

Hey Zealot: is Proteus Sapiens the discouvery we need to start kicking some aliens? They sure enough deserve some tough love!

The game was going too long so I stoped before my tenth turn.
Need to go and sleep.

So... your turn Zealot!!!
