Map :  Large, Temperate, Continents,  6 Nations, Slightly Modified.
Difficulty:  Noble (the same as AI opponents)
Player:  English/Elizabeth

Guidelines

30 Turns per player
If something goes wrong in game keep going, don’t keep reloading till you have a “perfect run”.  The only exceptions to this are if you make a genuine input mistake or the game crashes badly.

Write a report, include; incidents, cities built and what you are researching.  It helps if you make notes as you play.

When you have finished post your report and email your save game to the next player.

Note on the map modifications; All I have done is change some desert/tundra/ice and mountain tiles to something more town expansion friendly, change the coastline a little, change 3 of the nations starting locations to better locations and swap a few of the resources around.

Turn 1
Well, here we have it, quite a promising starting location, almost as if it was designed that way Grin.  There is Silk and Wine to the East, Cows to the West and a body of water which may or may not lead to the sea in the South.  We have a river running North to South and a village on our East borders.  

Our first city Bystandantine I put to work training a Warrior and researching Mysticism to 1. get a religion as soon as possible and 2. get Stonehenge.  I send the Warrior SW to explore.



Turn 2
Warrior wandering, spys village
Turn 3
Warrior wanders into a very well built village, turns out they have the secret of Masonry.  Woohoo Grin, what a start.
Turn 4
Warrior wanders West, finds the sea, has a paddle.
Turn 5
Warrior finds Stone on a peninsular SW of the capital, looks like this would make an ideal location for my second town.
Turn 6
Bystandantine expands and the village on our borders is so awed by our culture they give us 104 gold.
Turn 7
Warrior wandering North up the coast
Turn 8
We discover the secrets of Mysticism, apparently we can now move blocks of stone the size of a truck and place them in aesthetically pleasing arrangement.  We start researching Polytheism so we can become Hindus
Turn 9
We produce a warrior and send him wandering East, Bystandantine is now size 2 and I get it building a Settler to settle by the Stone resource.
Turn 10
Warrior 1 wanders into another village and is given Agriculture Grin.  Nice.
Turn 11
Warrior 2 finds Marble in his eastward wanderings
Turn 12
Warror 2 turns South to avoid lions
Turn 13
Warrior 1 attacked by panther, gets panther skin underwear.
Turn 14
Buddhism founded in a distant land, lucky we went for Polytheism instead of Meditation (the AI usually goes for Med before Poly).  Warrior 1 healing.
Turn 15
Warrior 2 finds gold south of the capital.  The continent seems to stretch a long way North, South and East.
Turn 16
Polytheism discovered, the English choose Hinduism as their state religion.  Now we are researching Bronze Working to get big scary axes and to enslave the population.
Turn 17
Warrior 1 hits a village and is given a scout, warrior 2  hits and village and gets a map.  Warrior 1 must have special diplomatic skills, so far it’s got us 2 Technologys and a Scout.
Turn 18
Scout attacked by Panthers, survives and gets new pants.
Turn 19
Warrior 1 finds three elephant tiles a way north in a dense jungle and meets a fellow warrior, turns out to be the Chinese lead by Mao.  We agree not to kill each other today.  No sign of their city.
Turn 20
Warriors Wandering
Turn 21
Warriors wandering, Scout scouting South
Turn 22
Scout scouts a village, gets experience which I put into woodcraft 1 & 2.  We meet an American warrior and we are nice to each other.
Turn 23
Warrior 2 gets attacked and promoted which I put in woodcraft 1
Turn 24
Bystandantine finishes Settler, starts building Stonehenge, due in 38 turns, send Settler Southwest to settle by the stone.  Scout finds a village who gives us Hunting Shocked.  Holy Hindu Crap! That’s 3 Technologies we have got from huts in under 25 turns.  This is a first play of this map, honest.
Turn 25
Warrior 1 Wandering, Scout scouting.
Turn 26
Settler settles Milliville, starts building Worker.  tadaaaa we have a second city.
Turn 27
Warrior 1 Wandering, Scout scouting.
Turn 28
Warrior 1 Wandering, Scout scouting.
Turn 29
We discover Bronze Working, change civic to Slavery, we can now kill off citizens through overwork to get stuff made quicker.  We find a source of Bronze a couple of squares away from Milliville.  Warrior 2 is finally healed.  Research starts on the Wheel.
Turn 30
Scout walks into an ambush and is whacked by 3 warriors.  we kill 1 but it's RIP scout Angry.  I hope this isn't the start of barbarian incursions as both our cities are totally undefended.

So that’s my turn up, here’s how our great empire looks, exciting isn’t it?
  


And here are my suggestions for future cities.  I recommend we research Archery next and build archers in our cities.



I've found playing this way really makes me think about exactly what I am doing and making notes starts to get boring at about 22 turns.

If anyone was wondering about how to take screenshots I pressed the PRT SCR button, pasted into Paint and saved as a JPEG.

So who wants to go next?

1: Did nothing - still exploring.
2&3: More exploring
4: Same - found a pack of wild wolves in the south. I'm going to turn them into my pet and they will be my squishy.
5: The wolves were trying to steal my lunch - so I had to beat them down. Doing so caused a herd of angry lions to appear. Let's see if they're going to try to steal my lunch. On the plus side...got promoted - added 10% strength

6. Lions saw the destruction of the Wolves and ran away.
7. Found shit creek! Cheesy
8. Finished the wheel - went for Archery. Seen another hut in the South...let's see if I'll be lucky enough to get awesome things.
9. 53 Gold...stingy buggers!
10. More exploring.
11. The northern warriors obviously had something good for lunch this turn as they got attacked by Wolves AND Lions...they're getting smart enough to work together!
12. More Lions in the south - I threw my sandwiches away so hopefully they'll leave me alone!
13. Got archery! Can't do much in the towns as stonehenge & worker are taking forever! Went for pottery as my next research. Damn Leonard has a sexy voice.
14. Worker finished in Milliville - set them to automatic improvements and set about building an Archer.
15-16. More exploring.
17. Saved some deer from a Lion attack.

19. More exploring. Ran into 2 barbarians. Oh dear...
20. Wooo - stuff happened this turn. One of the barbarians attacked and lost - only 1 dude left, but he got a promotion. I suppose that's something for losing all your buddies... Finished pottery so went for animal husbandry. Finally...we have Stonehenge! Hooray for curiously placed bits of rock Smiley Set bystandantine an Archer, I wanted to build another Settler - but it's going to take 10 turns so I guess Sharpletown will have to wait Sad

21-22. More exploring, not a lot happening.
23. Barbarian jumped me and my final warrior dude bit the...club.
24. Archer finished, set them to how I like my wine...fortified. Set about building a Settler.
25. Nothing
26. Archer finished in Milliville. Since we have stone I went for Pyramids.
27. Barbarian up north managed to find Shanghai!
28. Finished Animal Husbandry so went on to research Monotheism
29. Found Napoleon of France...he said something about being "Little Corporal"...I laughed, we had wine (fortified) and we became friends. Also, through the powers of networking we now have roads between our two fair cities.
30. Nothing happened, boring last turn! Cheesy

The game as it stands now:


(p.s. I tried my best to keep count of the turns as I got distracted at one point so I may be a turn or two in the wrong place)

Will email the game to you shortly Final. Smiley

I will have to delay playing a turn until Wednesday (am out tomorrow evening). I spent tonight battling with my webserver then writing a report for a newsletter.

If Deadly, you find someone else to take it before Wednesday, give it to them and I'll take it after Wink

Nice turns, good choices, unlucky with the barbarians

That lazy ass worker doesn't appear to of done much Wink.  Make sure he builds a quarry and a mine on that copper and connects them with roads or you ain't gonna get no pyramids quickly.  I've found setting the worker to auto can lead to it doing weird and annoying stuff like building forts on resources

No expansions, this is the vanilla Civ 4.  I have both the expansions but Firaxis kindly let you load the basic game which is handy for multiplayer and games like this.

Beyond the Sword expansion gives you way too many micromanagement options.
