Civ 5: GMR 8 - A Beyond Earth Prequel (G&K, BNW)

[Illven]

Welp. The game decided now was a time to spam me with yet another useless great prophet. And whenever the game spams a great prophet at me, I can't load it. So I'm gonna have to skip this turn. And I finally got another culture policy too. Fingers crossed the AI picks the right policy. I'll settle any deals next turn.

Perhaps you should buy missionaries and inquisitors in the future, to prevent this?

[Maryring]

I keep forgetting, because those, too, are useless. I just keep on getting too much faith. Nothing to do about it now though.

[Illven]

OOC note. I HATE THAT WE CAN NO LONGER USE & IN A TITLE!

[Silverraptor]

I think the player of Russia has quit the game?

[Illven]

Russia has skipped their last 7 turns.

Can we get a kick.

[Silverraptor]

I even talked to the player of Russia and they said they have stopped playing the game as it was no longer fun. However, every one of my requests for him to voluntarily leave the game have been met with silence. So I too support the kick from game option.

[Illven]

However, every one of my requests for him to voluntarily leave the game have been met with silence.

Rude.

[Dada]

If there are no protests, I'll see if I can kick him, otherwise I'll add a skip limit.

[Silverraptor]

Rude.

Who? Him or me?

[Illven]

Who? Him or me?

Maryring. You're fine.

[Illven]

So... Guess what I can do now.

Illven obtained the power to check production times on things you aren't even building yet!

So glitch, or normal game mechanics?


(Also set the skip limit to 26.... )

[Dada]

I'm not quite sure what you mean by checking production times on things you aren't yet building? It sounds like standard to me, but if that's what you're talking about, then I have no idea how you might have missed it until now.

Also, skip limit of 26 added since there was no protests.

I can use spies to see anything you can potentially build.

Give me a spy, and I will know just about every single tech you have access to. For example.

We do not have any immediate plans for the war - we wanted peace but Russia refused. We are also not in any position to take Rostov by force, nor in a territorial position to lay claim on it.

Hmmm. I may need to take that colony myself then. Russia made me a deal on that colony, and the AI won't continue it.

[Illven]

A message on the footsteps of the Petra palace. 1550 AD

"Gentlemen. Today, I come to you with grave news. Last night Zuluian hired assassins broke into the Palace, and tried to assassinate our glorious Queen in vengeance for their claimed territory after their attempted assault."

"However, we are glad to report that the Queen and her family are safe. They were taken into protective custody this morning to protect them from further attacks. There they will remain until we are sure that it will be safe for them to return to the public eye."

"The military will ensure that the English people are safe, they will hunt down these assassins, and whoever tried to convince the Zuluian people to hire them."

"I understand that you are scared. I'm scared myself. Scared for the English lives that have been trusted to me. But we must overcome this fear, we must work hard to ensure that none may attack our glorious nation again."

"Let it be said a thousand years later, this was our finest hour!"


The words of General Churchill

Standing army tax. You disappoint us, Gandhi. A shame our first meeting couldn't be under better circumstances.

Sincerely, General Churchill

[Illven]

The English Empire had no choice but to declare war on the Russian people.

Catherine had asked us for settling privileges, for their colony of Rostov. We agreed on a price, and we thought that was that.

However shortly afterwards. Catherine defaulted on their payments. Too busy taking vacations, rather then seeing to the affairs of the state.

Well too long have the English people been patient. We will be no more. We will claim the colony of Rostov. Whether the war will go on after that, is up to Catherine, wherever she may be.

[Illven]

Hey Dada, any idea what the hammers were like on the world fair?

The English people entrusted to me by Elizabeth the great, showed off the proto-types of great ships in the world's fair, held last year. This inspired English culture to reach new heights.

The Military complex needs money with which to guard the English people. The people, scared after Elizabeth's.... attempted assassination start on ways to keep the economy moving.




The city state allies are slow to war. The minor nations of the world, cannot react with the speed of the world's major players.



Yervean is impressed by our technological might. They become our friends, so as to have a protector.

The rest butcher Catherine's defense.














Our land troops can't contribute much to the war. However they keep safe watch over the English people.



And our scout ship continues to voyage the world.





Our Scientist wait for judgment day.

[Silverraptor]

How do we tell who won the world's fair?

[Illven]

How do we tell who won the world's fair?

As you would have this info in a singleplayer game, I won.

However I think Dada needs to post the hammer photo for us to have any idea the exact hammers.

[Dada]

I did not get any photo with hammers, or even a notification that the Worlds Fair was over.

I did not get any photo with hammers, or even a notification that the Worlds Fair was over.

Someone should?

If the player is you. Please post the relevant info.
