Civ 5 GMR 16 Reject Earth Edition

The former - like I said, I haven't uploaded. It went ahead and played through city-states/barbarians when I hit Next, too, which should only happen if I'm the last human player in the turn order.

[Nerd-o-rama]

Well the way I see it, either we can bang some more rocks together with Silverraptor dropping and rejoining, or Silverraptor can just hand a turn over to the AI. Silverraptor, your thoughts?

I guess we can try me skipping a turn to the AI once. I'm just worried what the culture pick will come out too...

[The_Snark]

All right, submitted turn.

If you were in the middle of a policy tree I don't think the AI is likely to wander off and buy something unrelated? Not quite certain how the AI handles taking over from a human, but left to their own devices they do complete policy trees fairly often...

[Illven]

It's saying it's silverraptor's turn.

[The_Snark]

Yeah; I'm assuming it's going to do the same thing it did last time and have the AI play out his turn when he loads it.

[Silverraptor]

Tried several times to take my turn. It's now permanently stuck on "Waiting for Players" indefinitely.

[Illven]

Tried several times to take my turn. It's now permanently stuck on "Waiting for Players" indefinitely.

Besides reverting and doing it again, the only thing I can suggest is skipping.

[Nerd-o-rama]

Yeah if you just go skip your turn on the site/client that will hopefully end this mess.

[Nerd-o-rama]

Took my turn and turn timer is set to 24 hours again. Let's hope there's no more issues.

[The_Snark]

Looks like everything's working again? The AI didn't wreck your economy too badly, or declare war on the Huns, or anything like that?

Utrecht guards report no problems with the savages.



Nor do the Palace guards.



As does Rotterdam's guards.



As our workband works on a river side farm.



Here we see the glorys that William of Orange forces his people to learn.



Here we see the city palace of Amsterdam.



As Rotterdam focuses on a lighthouse to put all others to shame.



Utrecht continues on a market under King William's orders.



Our government has undertaken no change since last time.



The scholars say we are best at crop yield and approval. Worst in nothing.



Here we see France trying to sway our citizens to visit. But they are finding little effect.








And our government's info on our rivals.

The Polynesian people are aware you are constructing the machu Pichu, similar to us. Our people would like to finish this project, especially after your completion of the Petra. If you so agree to halt Machu Pichu, the polynesian people are prepared to trade you all of our excess luxuries for 3 full trade agreements length. In other words, you have the luxuries for the initial trade and when that expires have the luxuries traded to you an additional 2 times. Would this be acceptable to you?

[The_Snark]

The site claimed it was my turn, but wouldn't let me download the save file - reverted in hopes that that'll fix it.

Make it one luxury and 5 gold per turn, and you've got yourself a deal.

Aye, but we're practically swimmin' in luxuries over here, mate, we could use the gold more. The gold could be for just one trade agreement's length, how's that sound?

That is acceptable. 3 trade lengths for a luxury and 1 turn 5 gold per turn. Which luxury do you prefer?

Hello. Recently one of your aides proposed a deal with us.

A deal of mutual open borders, which seems like on the surface an even deal. However, once we thought about it in detail, we realized that it was not so.

We currently have no units that would be able to use the open borders, and by the time we got some over there it may well be half over. Furthermore it would give your tourism a slight but noticeable boost. So we cannot agree to this deal.

Can you offer something instead of, or in addition to mutual open borders.

~King William of Orange.

In all honesty, that was just one of our boys wanting to take a shortcut, not vital. We forgot that there was even a boost to this Tourist stuff; we've had folks show up in town wanting to read a book, but mostly they move on to the rest of the continent pretty quickly. We'll throw some gold your way if we ever need to pass through again later.

At the seat of King William of Orange. We the scholars thee, record record births.

The Carthage people agree to an open borders.



Here we see Rotterdam's guards having no concerns.




Here we see workbands improving the terrain around our cities, on orders of William the Orange.



The Palace guards report all is well with William the Orange.



Our scout ships move past the Carthage cities.




Here stored in the libraries of the state. We see all the accumulated knowledge of the Dutch peoples.



Maps of glorious Amsterdam. Soon to finish it's universities.



Rottedam only barely behind the capital.



Utrecht however still has time to wait before it can finish it's intuition of higher learning.



King William of Orange has ordered that permanent diplomats be established in the minor nations of the world, this strange plan has caused a boon to our influence with the minor nations of the world.



The scholars say we are best in crop yield and approval, and worst in nothing.



Here we see French tourism working it's way into our citizens hearts.










Our government's info on our foes.

So it's past turn 100. My game plan right now is to focus on diplomacy. Using Patronage to control the world congress and harass my foes. I think my biggest problem will be my only being on 3 cities.

Well, y'see, he started out running from barbarians, and then he just hit the water and din' stop runnin', Damnedest thing. Think he's a wizard.

In more honesty, though, we're lookin' for another port. Our ships c'n only reach one or two cities now, 'n the bigwigs in the Guilds wanted another place to launch trade missions from. We can turn around n' go to Ur if there's no city-states down here, though. Or if you make it worth our while, so t'speak.

Yer welcome to have a look around, but our ships haven't found anything but barbarians in these waters. Might be there's a city or two in central Australia, but we don't recommend landing unless ye've got an army in your back pocket, the mainland's thick with the bastards.

If it's a port city ye're after, there's Budapest a little ways t' the north.

[Silverraptor]

Yeah, so I've been missing turns (My bad) and I would like to request something. Can we remove the game skip limit so we don't have to do the "Reallow me back into the game" thing we did last time?

[Nerd-o-rama]

Yeah I went ahead and did that, I'm sitting at 5 myself.

Also I'm going out of town until Sunday. Since I have a Great Merchant out, I am selfishly increasing the turn timer to 3 days instead of just turning on vacation mode.

[Nerd-o-rama]

Back and turn timer is back to 24 hours. I am assuming that's an important enough announcement that I can double post.

We are offering you a trade. Your copper and spare crab, for our whales and pearls.

Although you do not have a spare crab, we hope that you still find this mutual trade acceptable.
