Rise of Civilizations [Concluded]

[sapi]

Good luck.

I've got a photoshop copy of the map (with layers showing, for example, the maximum distance my troops can march each turn, as well as, iirc, city placement distance, which is the same) so i'll probably just put an image in my turn report showing where i want new cities, castles and the like

Interesting.

Nice work once again

[Lucjan]

Thanks.

One question.

I haven't seen anything about starting armies. Do we all start with no military force?

(this question is purely hypothetical, of course. )

and in someone else's words....

I didn't start anybody with troops as I didn't want to start anybody with an initial financial burden they may not have wanted. Disbandment of troops is just as easy as hiring them, and when you do, the region they're in gets the population boost, but I thought it better to not have any of you brits trying to squash each other on turn 1. Just to make sure you all had a fighting chance.

[Motep]

soooo.... how do get more people, besides conquering?

do you just buy them? (that is what I am assuming, so that is the configuration in my orders)

[Ignoramus]

So do we still only start with one city, or has it been changed?

yes, you buy them in groups of 1000. There's also population growth.

[CountArach]

There's only two players with issues regarding this that I need to go over with them. Those being CountArach on Corsica and Stig on the Faroe Islands. There's going to be some exceptions made for them due to the location of their starting cities.

Oh? Could it be something simple like each seperate island is a province?

[Ignoramus]

CountArach, I'd like to hire you to attack the Corsican pirates. If you utterly defeat them then I'll send you a ducat.

Just joking. I think that's a great idea of yours. It adds variety to the game.

Well....... if the price is right............

Thanks though. I was trying something unusual. Keeps everyone on their toes

[Ignoramus]

Well, when I say it's a good idea, I mean it's a good idea provided you don't attack me.

[sapi]

He's welcome to attack me

At 5 turns away from the rest of europe, i might notice him coming though

[Ignoramus]

Beware of the communists though. You never know when they'll show up.

[pevergreen]

What?

[Ignoramus]

I was just poking a joke at sapi because he's isolated from everyone else. He'll have to worry about rebellions and revolutions.

[sapi]

Fascist governments don't have to worry about that sort of thing

[Lucjan]

STIG and COUNTARACH

As CountArach has already raised the question. Yes, it can be something as simple as each island being a province. For someone like Stig it would be crazy to try to cram 3 major cities on the Faroe's alone. Or for CountArach to try to fit 3 on Corsica, I don't think we'd be able to see the island after I put the city markers on it.

So, the province exception will be made for those two, who started the game on minor islands with no reasonable amount of space to expand without having to invade the mainland.

BRING ON THE RED REVOLUTION!!

[sapi]

Any attempt at revolution will be crushed and the ringleaders publically executed with their extended families.

Ah...a clear example of the rise of "civilization."

It's a shame that no one is in Carthage. That's really the only empty hole apart from the Balkans.

New people, please sign up.

Yes, yes, we all know that North Africa will soon be part of the Anglo-Saxon empire. But there isn't anyone there at the start. I know that Ichigo is dying to colonise the Balkans, so there shouldn't be a problem there either.

[CountArach]

I volunteer to fill Carthage...

Pirating Carthaginians! Bring it on!

Do you mean Carthagian pirates?

Or are you going to pirate Carthaginians?

...And what is the price of a Carthaginian on the open market? Do they retail for more if they come with attached war elephant?

[Lucjan]

War Elephants count as accessories, available with three different saddle styles and a variety of different eye shadows, genuine immitation Prada bag included if you buy the Limited Edition for only $40 more.
