Civ V Multiplayer 7: Civ and Let Die

[Ryuho Tsugu]

Turn reverted: a player leaving the game when it's their turn does not advance the turn order correctly, apparently.

[Neon Knight]

Whoops, didn't know that. Sorry about that.

[Ryuho Tsugu]

GPuzzle, are you really going to play this game? 25 skipped turns, including the last five in a row, when we're only in the mid-80s is not a good sign.

If there's any open spots, I'd be willing to join.

There's a couple now, so I can send you an invite link if you want.

Poland has been quietly spreading around the good word of Fractalism.

Woot! Woot! Send one this way.

Ah yes, religions. I should probably do an update on my next turn as I've got a bit to cover there (since, as is becoming tradition for, I've gone and named a religion after a fictional one). Including the results of forgetting to play a turn myself while I had a settler out...

In one of my other games, my enhancement prophet appeared while I was on vacation. The beliefs they chose were.......not as helpful.

Yeah. They're not the most helpful at city placement either.


Anyway, GPuzzle apparently hasn't visited the forums since early March, so I'm just setting it to kick him from the game after his next turn comes around. Although now Ilven's in, it balances out again.

- "Oh most stern and able Master Builder, who resides above in the great building without flaw, look down upon your humble servants as we endeavour to serve you and uphold your ideals."

With those words was the final stone placed of the Hagia Sophia - the new central church of the Hammerite order. It is only fitting that a such a structure be placed within the walls of Gao, the greatest monument to The Builder and His works.

But now one work is done, new foundations must be laid. It is without question that of the various tribes that only we, The Songhai, are capable of bring these lands into order. The lesser cities lack purpose; their lands are menaced by Pagan barbarians. The trial the Builder has set before us is clear: we must bring the hammer to the all corners of the world, to smite all heretics who would defile His creations and to fortify civilisation for the virtuous.

Our worker and warrior move to construct a lumber mill.



Stockholm. I'm using declarations of friendship to gain boost to my tourism production.



Sigtuna. Focusing on a caravan.



Helsikni focuses on a lighthouse.



Aztecs. Let's be friends.



My tech tree.



Best in land and soldiers. Worst in nothing.



Byzantium tourism.

Hello. Been a while, hasn't it?
Here's how The Songhai lands are looking at present


For anyone wondering about the placement of Tombuctu, please refer to an earlier comment I made about leaving settlers out when you skip a turn.

The other noticeable thing is that I have yet to encounter any of the other players. The reason for this can probably be determined just by looking at the world map: as it's becoming apparent that I'm not only alone on a chain of islands, but that this chain might well be an ocean away from wherever anyone else is.

So yeah, could be a while before anything particularly interesting happens.

Yeah, this game was kinda on the back burner for a long time. Let's try to fix that now that it's got a better pace going.

WARSAW!

Growing quite nicely, lots of food, lots of production. Just started Chichen Itza, and it should only take 6 turns. Hopefully I can poach it.

KRAKOW!

Hasn't seen as much attention, as the AI kept messing up where my workers were going when I had to miss a turn or two, but that's getting fixed now.

LODZ!

Likewise, should grow quite nicely, but hadn't seen as much attention until now.

NEXT CITY!

Yeah, about to settle a new city right there. Then there will be one more to its south, and then that'll be it for cities.

CULTURE!

Yup, going for cultural victory. With so many of the other civs right beside me, this should be very interesting.

RELIGION!

Fractalism is a good all around religion. Gives me money, gives me faith, spreads far, and Cathedrals for great works. Solid.

We got Guilds! Now for Chivalry so we can open borders with people.



The tech tree.



The tourism wars have begun!



Aw. My tourism defense is slightly weaker.



New policy time.



Fine arts time.



The worker finishes the pasture, and moves to the deer.



The worker inches towards those forest.



The city of Stockholm.



The city of Sigtuna.



The city of Helsinki.



.... The spearman needs to move.



Demographics. Best in Population, Land, and Soldiers.



Finished lumbermill.

Spectator comments please.

[Cristo Meyers]

Spectator comments please.

I would, but I don't want to accidently reference something the other players aren't supposed to know.

But, thanks to these, I'm on my fourth straight game of Civ 5. Almost finished with the A's. I'd join one of these, but y'all are playing at a level way beyond me, I still play at Warlord.

Could always spoiler

If you're worried about not being good enough. If you're at Warlord, you're at least better then the AI.

Filthy barbarians. They've destroyed my two caravans, setting me back even farther behind everyone else.

The worker continues to work on farms.



This one goes to add to the road system.



It didn't work.



Helsinki's defense force also protects it's cities



Tech tree. Finished education. Going to go head towards Astronomy so I can spot Askia.



Stockholm. Working on a university.



Sigtuna. Working on a comp bowman.



Helsinki. Almost finished with a library.



Birka.



My policies.



Still need to find Askia. And research the printing press...



Best in population, Crop yield, and land. Worst in approval.



The tourism wars.



Our offense.



Byzantium offense.



My spy needs time to function.



So it's past turn 100. Now it's time to evaluate my position for the mid-game.

I think I'm in a decent place right now. I have a good capital, good two more cities, and an okay-ish one. Right now, my priority is to catch up on Science to the tech lead, and try to find Askia.

I'm somewhat wary of getting DoW'd by the Aztec, but their UU is no longer useful, so if he does he'll be picking on a better military force then he himself has right now.

[OrcusMcP]

I'm not sure what happened, but I can't download my turn.
