Re: Civ 5: GMR part 4 - Needs salt!
After venturing through wooded valleys, frozen wastelands, extended deserts and rolling hills, Ibn Batutta finally came to a fertile river valley, where there were finally signs of civilization! Only time would tell whether these people would prove friend or foe to Morocco, but the Great Consul al-Mansur is always willing to extend the hand of fellowship and trust.

Spoiler: To Morocco:Ah, hail emissaries of al-Mansur, Welcome to Rome. How intriguing....like those Indians we recently encountered, we don't appear to have much record of your people. Regardless, we are willing to accept your kingdom as a friend of Rome. There is much to reclaim.Last edited by Luzahn; 2014-06-22 at 11:14 AM.

Spoiler: To RomeIndia? We have not heard of such a people. There are other great nations in this land? You are the first we have found! To your west and south lie miles of unclaimed land, though there are many barbarian tribes that will need a firm hand before you can settle. Marrakesh itself lies far to your south-west, past a wooded river valley on a desert coast. We have mapped much land to our north and west as well.
In the spirit of sharing and peace, would you also be able to offer some insight as to what lies to the north and east of your borders?So Much for the Glory of Rome, a Crusader Kings 2 Let's Play

Re: Civ 5: GMR part 4 - Needs salt!
There's the creepy doomsday cultists again. Keep your distance. No socialising. No eye contact. Absolutely no secret meetings involving drinking games with any of them. Looking at you, Gaius. If they try to reach us, inform boss immediately. No talking to them yourselves.
I'll be on vacation mode for the next ~48 hours. And back.
Arch chancellor. We know you do need your vacation from her presence every now and then, but I trust you do understand our dear Empress can not be left conducting administrative duties alone. During this short absence of yours, she already managed to disturb the projects she herself put in motion earlier, causing expensive delays and nearly getting some of our troops killed. Please do find a substitute advisor in time the next time you are to go on a sabbatical, for the sake of the Empire.Last edited by thirsting; 2014-06-30 at 03:22 AM.

Re: Civ 5: GMR part 4 - Needs salt!
Something's wrong with the save file; GMR is telling me to create the game instead of play my turn. If I try to load the save anyway it loads for India. Reverting.

Re: Civ 5: GMR part 4 - Needs salt!
No such luck, I'm afraid. The save file loads for China, which seems to be the same error Dhavaer is getting (accounting for the fact that I'm on a Mac, and therefore don't have the GMR app). I happen to have a save file from right before I took my last turn, but when I try playing and uploading that it gives me an error - sometimes the "file is bloated" bug, and sometimes "you saved before finishing your turn". Neither of these is true; I've run into the bloated file bug before and the usual restart-Civ-and-replay fix isn't working, and I have clicked Next Turn before saving.
I can see two options - one, I could revert the turn and hope Luzahn doesn't get the exact same error, or I could simply download the file for China and upload that. I do remember taking my turn yesterday, so that shouldn't actually entail skipping me; having said that, I'm not sure if the file would upload correctly (haven't tried yet, as it would be irreversible if it worked).
Or we could contact the GMR people for help, I guess. Thoughts?Avatar by GryffonDurime. Thanks!

Re: Civ 5: GMR part 4 - Needs salt!
I just sent them email, thought that would be the safest route.
GMR site seems really, really slow today by the way, might have something to do with this...?

Re: Civ 5: GMR part 4 - Needs salt!
The game skipped me after banthesun/India, so GMR site showed it was Closet_Skeleton's/Persia's turn. I tried reverting (as that's all what the GMR people seemed to do last time), but now site shows it's my turn and save file, when loaded, says it's Persia.
I reverted it again, back to banthesun. If that didn't fix it, I'll contact the GMR admins again...
Eeedit: Apparently works now, yay?

Re: Civ 5: GMR part 4 - Needs salt!
Luzahn's turn... are you able to play your turn? Or is there still something wrong with GMR, or our game?

Re: Civ 5: GMR part 4 - Needs salt!
Oh right. Sorry, I had missed that we hadn't talked about hiatus here as well. My turn is doing to bug where it doesn't recognize it as my move, resulting in the waiting for other players message.
I had assumed we were going to wait until GMR sorted out its issues before continuing.Currently playing the Imperial Space Corps in Blood Bowl! We won't rest until everyone has Guard.

Re: Civ 5: GMR part 4 - Needs salt!
Reverting back to Orcus, then. People are doing their turns a lot in public games at least, so there's some hope it doesn't break again every few turns.

Re: Civ 5: GMR part 4 - Needs salt!
Spoiler: To CarthagoWe did not mean to barge in uninvited, our wayfinder just appears completely incompetent. But now that we are here, may we offer help with those savages lurking right by your borders? Somehow it seems trying to negotiate with them would be futile... just say the word, and the savages are needle cushions.

Spoiler: To ByzantiumYour assistance fending off the primitive brutes on our southern border would be most welcome, or, as our queen so aptly put it, "that would be, like, way cool." One encampment lies to the southwest; we suspect there is another encampment somewhere to the east, as our land has been besieged by more savages than one camp should be able to house, but our forces have been too busy defending the borders to locate it.

Re: Civ 5: GMR part 4 - Needs salt!
Spoiler: To CarthagoThe savages have been softened up, you should be able to get rid of their camp with very little effort now.
We also got a word from back home; leadership of Byzantine empire feel ready to reveal our empire's location, and would like to set up embassies with our new friends, Carthagians. Carthagoans. Carth.. agese? Uh, with you people.
~ Commander of Byzantine scouting party
Spoiler: To PersiaNo one in the council remember agreeing on exchange of embassies with your people. Even our beautiful empress, who no one would even dream of accusing of making a lighthearted decision after a night spend with beverages, does not remember agreeing to anything on her own, without hearing the council...
We hardly know you yet, but the done is done, there's no getting the ambassador spirits back into the bottle. We hope the Persians prove to be trustworthy and useful friend to Byzantine empire.

Antium is a bit closer than I would have liked, but I needed that iron relatively quickly to support some rushes, and the areas to the south were swarming with barbarians. (Plus, I like that my only port is defended by a large bay.)Last edited by Luzahn; 2014-08-06 at 12:14 PM.

Praise! Praise for the Great Consul! Having adopted extensive fertility festivals to celebrate the bountiful harvests around Marrakesh, adventurous settlers have now founded a new city in the east, while intrepid sailors have set off the map the coasts of the west!

Re: Civ 5: GMR part 4 - Needs salt!
Following the completion of the New Old Dehli Hydroponic Gardens, I feel perhaps I should negotiate wonders OOC. I'm still interested in Parthenon or The Oracle to get the most value out of my marble. Alternatively, I wouldn't mind converting some hammers to gold if someone's nearly got Parthenon done. Is this something we should openly negotiate anyway. Oh, and is it bad that I'm not really doing spectator updates, do we really have any spectators?

Re: Civ 5: GMR part 4 - Needs salt!
I enjoy the thought of making my opponents weep delicious tears when I beat them to a wonder by one turn. I also like the much more likely case of getting the dissatisfyingly minuscule amount of pity gold when someone beats me instead.
But I don't mind if others do want to negotiate that.Last edited by thirsting; 2014-08-12 at 12:18 PM.
