Good idea. I don't think that playing a bloodlust game will be very easy on that large of a map. I am not interested in joining though.

Well,
I am ready to try. But, I think everybody will have to agree to some policy (key wonders, fast expansion or not, size of the cities, key techs, etc) and stick to it. Mixing it up could bring real bad problems. As Jcarkey said, some civs are hard to find on those maps, and if an expansionist and militaristic tribe starts next to some civilized rational one, you can have some bad surprises. In one of my last gigagame, I was playing Prince level and The Russians started on the island next to the Americans, on the other side of the map. By 1400ad Russian Marines were landing on my continent (I was playing perfectionnist) ! I was not used to that at Prince level. The Ai doesn't get smarter, but it has more room to move on !

The life of Dictator and then King Julius Brenzaida
* 3000 BC : 60'000 proud citizens from 2 cites see the crowning of Dictator Julius. The army is small but brave and faithful. A warrior has started to explore the vaste territories that should soon be called our land, while another warrior and an archer ensure the peace.
* 2850 BC : Bronze Working is discovered. Julis declares he wants to be king and scientists start searching for monarchy. As the southern part of the land looks a bit cold, the "mighty" warrior heads north.
* 2700 BC : Going north was not the greatest of insight. At least a peninsula rich of whales is discovered. Its name shall be Angria. May some city be once founded there.
* 2450 BC : The warrior is now going westward (no golden rush intended). Dictator Julius builds a few roads because trade is scarce and because with the little cities and the demanding settlers he cannot do as he would like to with the resources. He is quite dumfounded on where he should found new cities. He spends some times watching helplessly the dreadfully incomplete map. This is the sourest of an era, population down to 20'000. But (as they have no choice), they remain faithful.
* 2350 BC : The town of Gazemba is founded. Later, there shall be some wine. Some people go restless. Why not open huts. The question had been in the air for some time. Julius the wise had rightly said that there could be barbarians and that any bad science discovery would delay monarchy. Luckily, nobody noticed that his little roads produced only more money and were quite a waste of 4 turns, ouch. Otherwise revolution would be soon coming. But now at least, there was some hope and need for more of it. If the hut gave some mercenaries they would be alocated to Gazemba and not pressing the already shield shortaged original 2 cites. The situation was bad, the risks not so great. Julius needed a miracle, went for it, and got it. The Gods took pity of us. An advanced tribe, promptly called Guadima, next to a whale. Lady Fortune was all smiling again. All past mistakes are forgotten.
As for now the army is too small. Warriors are needed. Julius the optimistic decides no war should be declared in the near future and disdains phalanxes.
* 2200 BC : The city is Zamorna is founded. Population is up to 90'000 and thanks to the glorious oceans, science rate is high (6 turns). Soon to be king Julius very wisely consults the magical table for the changement of governement. Ouch, we have just missed one. Julius cannot be king before 2050bc. In his last glorious act as Dicator, Julius slows down science in favor of production.
* 2050 BC : With perfect timing, monarchy is discovered, and Julius is immediatly declared King. He decides to look for writing, because no civilization has ever won without it. Currency and mapmaking were also tempting, but Julius told himself that with the glorious science rate, his sucessors could well make their one choices and lead their people in the right direction. The two warriors exploring the land have made their last move under Julius' lightened guidance The kingdom homeland is obviously near the southpole, but it is yet hard to tell if it's large or small. Before his very last pressing of the [next turn] key, King Julius adresses his 90'000 subjects, 4 warriors and 1 archer one last time : "Beloved subjects, faithful soldiers. We have achieved many and more glorious times are ahead. Pray the Gods they should remain our friends and with their help we should rightly rule the world. It is time for me to go now, the rules of age are claiming me, but from the place where I'm going now, I shall always look and cheer for you".

That was fast Julius, well done (but we wanted Currency for Trade and the mighty Marco Polos's Embassy) - such is the fun of this game. Have you sent the save to DaveV his e-mail is on the Gigamap site?? I shall update the site on Wednesday all being well.
Good civin' all

Dear God ! Did I really press the [submit reply] before writing my message. Quite annoying indeed.
Scouse Git, yes, I've sent the saved game to Dave and to you.
Sorry for the currency, it's true that trade is one key of the game. But I was wondering if one should not go for republic, according to the size of the continent, so I chosed (too hastily ?) writing. And besides, I think that with MGE and a gigamap, the Great Library is really Great. I fail to see how to use properly Marco's embassy, with all those hostiles AI.
But now, the game is in someone else's hands. Luckily, as the science rate is good, my "mistake" is not, I hope, too bad. This sucession game is a great idea that makes you think again about your strategies.
I'm looking forward to see what Dave, Paul and the others will do with this game.

) and now realize that I don't have to have the patch. Therefore, please move me up in the food chain to the next available slot. Thanks.
