Civ 4 Democracy Dynasty - using ViSa Modpack

[Flasch186]

The warrior 1, the one in the woods will rest one turn and then head NW. The lion pack, attacked warrior 2 on the hill but our Warrior withstood the attack, and now remains on the hill awaiting a different command. as they understand it they will eventually return to Edinburgh. The other Lion pack in the distance must've gotten the hint and moved on. We will carry on now.

[Coffee Warlord]

If the settler is about due, send him back to Edinburgh. If we've got time, let him explore a little more.

[Flasch186]

The settler is a long way off, painfully a long way off. We shall move SE sir.

[Flasch186]

in exploring to the SE our Warrior 2 has come across that pack of Lions, I think they may attack.

the lion did attack and while our warrior won they suffered 25% damage and earned a promotion. The choices are the same as before, sir?

[Coffee Warlord]

Bring it.

Defense I.

[Flasch186]

Sir CW, our warrior 2 has spotted a village on the other side of this river, now the Warrior doesnt speak their language so there is a cgreater chance that he could anger them...should we send a message to our scout to come back and make contact with them so that things may go smoother? you can get an idea of how far away our scout is in the minimap to the bottom right...theyre at the farthest eastern point.

[Coffee Warlord]

Hmm. Cross your fingers and go in on, Zug.

[Flasch186]

sir, upon meeting the tribe, the tribe were absolutely enamored by our crossing the river, so much so that they have given us one of their strongest men to join us as a Warrior (3). We now have 2 warriors just to the north of the unnamed river. We would like some new clarification on directions. Warrior 2 is your Woodlands specialist, warrior 3 is the new green regiment.

[Coffee Warlord]

Holy Army!

Hookay, we now have a 3 headed exploration monster. Warrior 3 shall traverse northwest, warrior 2 shall traverse due north. Scout off to the east should pull a little north, so we are exploring roughly uniform in a northerly direction.

And unless anyone disagrees, I hereby name that river the River Flasch, after our mighty Despot.

Wholeheartedly agree, just making fun of the fact that we now have a lot of mouths to feed.

When things like this happen, I like to have a close neighbor to conquer.

[Coffee Warlord]

Actually, change of direction for our scout. Let's send him south to find out what's due east of us.

Believe me, if we knew where the Ukrainians were, I'd be motioning the floor for war right now.

[Flasch186]

Sir Warrior 3 has spotted ANOTHER village in the forest due west and is moving in on them per your earlier tendency. To the north were running up on a huge mass of water that we'll visit to the coast.

[Coffee Warlord]

Yep, consider all villages auto explore, no matter what.

[Flasch186]

for Clarification, it was W1 and W3 to the north, W2 has been exploring to the South of Edinburgh until the Settler is close to being due. W2 was attacked in the woods by a wild Wolf and won the battle w/ ease. Teh scout has turned a bit back W to map out some unknown land, kind of in a snaking direction.

[Flasch186]

Sirs!! Youre not going to believe this, when Warrior 3 showed up at the village the villagers were carrying their wood in these buckets on "wheels"....they gave us one to show you:



Also unbelieveably our Warrior heading due north sees another village on the coast and should be there shortly!! Boy these "wheels" are cool!!

[Coffee Warlord]

They're so...round. Awesome!

[Flasch186]

were about to have some fights, those villagers were not happy to see us.

[Coffee Warlord]

Ingrates.

[Flasch186]

our W1 has not reported back. This is not good as we have to assume our Woddsman specialist has died in the fight. The scout, was able to avoid detection by the Lion but Warrior 3 was struck by a wolf that was hiding in the forest. This warrior, while Green stood up mightily. Warrior 2 has begun his way home to Edinburgh to hopefully be there around the same time the city is ready to claim more land.

[Flasch186]

sirs, we have found the Ukraine....from this side of the River we can see their lands:



Our Warrior 3 has truly reached the edge of the "ocean" so we have turned them south, towards Edinburgh to use CW. Directions? What about the Scout, should they continue southerly?

[Coffee Warlord]

Da, move them both southward. Let's see if we can hit shoreline in all directions.

[Coffee Warlord]

Looks like we got a nice quiet piece of land to conquer, too. Lovely.

[Flasch186]

I have taken Warrior 3 and turned him south, eventually he'll reach Edinburgh, The scout heads South just east of another Warrior. This warrior was just attacked by a wolf and survived, Ill find out shortly how badly he is hurt. We also just met the Ottomans:

[Flasch186]

our Warrior 2 is at 50% sir and licking their wounds. Should we have them rest or carry on?

[Coffee Warlord]

Rest. UNless it's Merely A Flesh Wound, let these guys get back up to full.

And if he's ready for promotion, definately Woodsman, considering where he is.

[Flasch186]

Sir, Warrior 2 rests while the scout heads southward. I have to tell you something. We just left a meeting with a new group, the Cherokee, and while they didnt say anything outright dangerous, I have sense, from their leader and his seconds, that they are planning something, that they hate us in fact. I swear we did not do anything to trigger this but I just have my senses (plus the red angry face next to him on the bottom right of the screen)....we should be wary of the Cherokee.

[Flasch186]

[Flasch186]

bear with me, im updating the list of science choices, once we choose the next one Ill update the view of Edinburgh and the surrounding areas.

Since we have found the Wheel already Ill need GI to choose the Science along with a governor vote.

please see the list on pg 1 to see what is available.

[Coffee Warlord]

Okay. The Minister of Defense hereby demands we find where the hell these vile creatures known as the "Cherokee" are hiding. That is the task I set forth to the warriors and scouts we have roaming the countryside right now (except of course, for our garrison force).

We must keep a wary eye on these strange creatures.

[Coffee Warlord]

Prolly not gonna be paying much attentin to the computer this evening, so if you wanna keep the game moving, act as you best see fit. Pretty straightforward right now anyway.

[mrsimperless]

Casting vote for animal husbandry.

[Coffee Warlord]

Ditto.

[Flasch186]

I'll wait on GI to chime in on what to do, after that Ill update the city screen, and move us forward slightly then Ill shut it down tonight. It was a blast though, on my day off today. Most days wont move along this fast, i promise, but today was veg out day Im having a ball though.

[Coffee Warlord]

The War Department cannot wait for our first major conflict.

'Course, should be even more interesting, since I usually try and be a pacifist in Civ (until late late LATE game).

[gi]

Metal Carving or if you are patient, Animal husbandry look like the good options. I think spearman are important for defense with Metal Carving, but if Animal husbandry is desired, I shall support it.

[Flasch186]

Animal husbandry it will be. The vote wouldve been a split, with your 2 vs. their 1 each but since you dont object to Animal Husbandry it will be chased.

I will update, the Edinburgh screen shortly as well.

[Flasch186]

Sirs:

The overhead view of Edinburgh is updated. one thing you may not be able to see is the abundance of Corn within our city proper. This corn certainly is good to eat (+1 health) and it grows like a weed here.

[Flasch186]

moving our scout and Warrior southward we came acrossed another village. Since the scout was nearby, and speaks their language the warriors called them over to meet them. The village gave us 22 of the coins.

[Flasch186]

I continue to move our warrior and scout southward in search of the Cherokee. I have re-updated the view of Edinburgh as it seems like our cultural influence expanded. Youll also notice, CW, that Warrior 3, which was given to us from one of the villages we met some time ago, is almost to Edinburgh from the NW. They should be used to escort the upcoming settler.

[Flasch186]

Our scout heading south and the warrior are traversing some unbelievably dense jungle. They are having a very difficult time clearing a way. The scout just recently survived an attack by a black panther and while hurt, he has certainly earned a promotion, along with the promotion will come a boost of adrenaline to heal him almost 50% of what has been hurt. We also need to discuss the settler situation as they should be ready to venture out with their escort within a turn or two. We can begin again tomorrow at some point.

CW - what type of promotion do you want for the scout.

Everyone - discuss a spot for the settler.

[WVUFAN]

We should not be so eager to rush to war. Patience should be the key here.

[gi]

CW had a great spot for the settler, he posted it earlier. Just north of our home city

[Flasch186]

remember, any declarations of war have to be voted on by the Governors unless we're attacked. WVUfan handles Foreign conversations...

however, per CW's instructions we are looking, searching for the Cherokee...we know that they dont like us at all.

Also, since WVUfan s the leader of this group of Settlers it'll reside heavily on his decision as to where they will settle. WVUfan?

[mrsimperless]

After the settler has been completed Edinburgh will start production of a worker to begin improving our civilization's infrastructure.

BTW, have we decided how we're going to assign worker jobs yet? Do we perhaps need a Minister of the Interior position, or do we assign workers out to specific governors? Having all governors vote on every single worker job seems like a bit of overkill IMO. Although it does seem appropriate and I'm all for it in the early goings on.
