The last couple pictures looks weird because paint fucked up and when i pasted a new picture and saved the top part of turn 428 didn't get overwritten by the new pic so its there from turn 429 and on. I am not going to reload and replay just to fix that -.-. Ok now onto the game.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all beginning my turns at 1820 AD noticed research is on refrigeration for some reason when we didn't even have rockery (for Apollo program). So definitely switch into rockery first because Apollo takes some turns to build and we can get started on our ship parts while researching technologies for other ship parts.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Noticed Timbuktu and Utrecht is building some useless things, both of these cities are strong hammer cities 2nd and 3rd in hammers after our capital, so i switched them into building research as almost all other cities. There is really no point in more infrastructure when we are near end game and winning space pretty soon.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next tech path going to superconductors so we can build research labs +50% spaceship building rate. This will be built in our top 4 hammer cities, I checked our top 4 cities all have pretty high hammers where the 5th hammer city's production is significantly lower than the top 4. Plus you only really need ~2-4 good hammer cities to win space.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So we have good technology advantage and pretty much no one will declare as we have defensive packs with everyone that matters. Already started spaceship parts in our top 4 cities no point in building space parts after top 4 cities as hammer rate is too low. Anyways pretty easy win from now on.

The world as I knew it on turn 440...

I took a look at our cities, but made basically no changes. We're building research and spaceship parts and basically nothing else. OK.

Got Satellites (BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP! God I love Nimoy.) Started work on Composites.

I press enter a couple times, and we complete our first piece!

I voted for gilga, obv. He's a pretty cool guy and doesn't af...nevermind.

AAHHHHH WHAT?! SUL ALREADY HAS A CASING?

Oooh. Next time Gilga. You're just a little too..how do we say this? Unelectable.

Do you know what's more fun than nuking people? Nothing, that's what.

Two more thrusters for Suleiman. He's actually ahead of us now.

Someone steals fission from us. Maybe they'll make the manhatten project so I don't have to.

In the meantime, I spend some gold to make observatories in a few medium-science cities. We're going to need some speed. No one has any techs to trade except for Fascism. Whoo.

THE RACE IS ON.

Apparently we're the wealthiest civ in the world. WHOOPIESHIT

Ecology finishes, and Suleiman comes to us with the very best trade I have ever had the infinite pleasure of rejecting.

No. Just...no.

Medicine finishes. Fuck environmentalism.

NOOOO MY STORIES

PUTITBACKPUTITBACKPUTITBACK

We're winning! Barely! It helps that Sul just completed a useless wonder last turn. The crestor fresh whitener or something.

Here we go again.

HOLY...that is one hell of a stack. Suleiman preparing something?

aaaand I leave you, future TL general, with a two-piece lead in the space race, and Genetics about to finish.

GO WITH HONOUR, ProoM!

No need, been shadowing xD Playing now. Game looks pretty much won anyways. Ill have an update up soon.

EDIT : Alright, played my turns, and I must say, Im stunned. We dont hold more than half the map? What is this?

But ah well, Anyways, I started off the game and instantly got a Great spy... huh... maybe this round wont be so bad after all
[image loading]

Following that, A vote soon came with the intentions of opening borders to all! I voted for it until I realized... Crap... Now I need to hire border patrol folks.... Cant let those towel heads hopping into my country (suliman)
[image loading]

Few turns later, I was alerted that someone had done our dirty work for us, and went through the agony, the frustration, and testing, to bring everyone nuclear weapons!
[image loading]

Ohhhh happy days! Means we can leave earth with a 'boom!'

Now, with nukes being built, borders being opened, space being sought after, what exactly do the people do with the wonderful technological achievements?

They make the banana split. Obviously waaaaaaay more important than computers.

After I nabbed fiber optics, I sought out a few trades.
[image loading]

I like my lasers gosh darn it!

Now, earlier when I got computers, I sent out one of the cities to work on the interwebs for nothing more than being able to say "TeamLiquid created the interwebs". Worth a screenshot on its own really.

Which gave us
[image loading]

COMMUNISM! wooooo.

And that ends the 20 turns, with the space elevator near completion, and fusion in just 4 turns away (also a free engineer to rush the space ship parts), seems like the next person will end the game. Also, at the end of the round I got another GS, so right now we have 2 total and im not sure exactly what to use them for. I however would use them to infiltrate suleiman to gain a tech we dont have.

This may be kind of random, but would there be any interest in having a Succession game at a much lower difficulty level (say, Warlord) for the less skilled people?

The download is working fine...
It's the thing with MU though. You must wait some time before it's available.
Let me know if it still isn't working for you and I'll re-upload it.

Wow, this seems like a ton of fun; I'd join up but I'm really new and terrible to the game. Been playing it the last few days, and it's addicting as all hell. Playing a game now (Chieftain nub) on Pangaea with a ton of other civs. So fun to declare war (or coerce someone else to) and watch as a chain of declarations go off.

I think anything lower than monarch isnt possible. It just makes the game WAY to easy and.. well... unfun. I actually one time got all religions, all shrines and won a culture victory... even though my second city didnt get built till the AD.

If you are looking for tips to improve your game on civilization, I recommend checking out www.civfanatics.com and check out TheMeInTeam's VoD's (he also has a stream).

Ok, sorry about the huge delay. I couldn’t download the save file, and then I was really busy.
Here we go

From first inspection, it looks as though the game will end with my turn. It’s going to take something epic for us to not finish our spaceship first. But with ICBM’s building, I can still have a little bit of fun

Fusion will be done in 4 turns

[image loading]

With a bit of playing around I get fusion down by 1 turn. I also get my great spy ready to merge with the great engineer we will get from fusion so we can have ~~an archon~~ a golden age.

[image loading]

The votes for united nations general comes up. I vote for us of course. And using the great engineer commence the golden age

[image loading]

Research comes to a halt. All the cities that were producing research are now producing wealth. I’m going to try and rush production of the space elevator with cash. Utrecht starts producing an engine instead of the SDI

[image loading]

Turns out Suleiman is much more loved than we are however

With the built up cash, I’m able to shorten the build time of the space elevator by 1 turn. We also finish building our first nuke. Not much use for it, so I figure I’ll launch it at Suleiman as a big “fuck you “ once our spaceship is done

[image loading]

The cockpit is completed, and we are 6 turns away from a fully complete spaceship.

[image loading]

Gilgamesh goes for a last ditch effort to steal the win. But we have the numbers to cockblock him.

[image loading]

Just to be a pain, those damn hippies force Environmentalism on the world. I guess they’ll need it for all the global warming they are about to experience.

[image loading]

And with that, the glorious Teamliquid spaceship is complete. Time to leave this lame planet.

[image loading]

But not without fucking it up a bit first. FUCK YOUUU SUILEUMAN.
But oh GOD! Because of the defensive pacts, half the world joins in and they all attack with massive numbers.

[image loading]

Now napoleon probs would have not been nuked, but as you can see from the fallout down the bottom left, HE NUKED ME FIRST!!! That deserves retaliation.

[image loading]

And then he proceeds to nuke me 8 TIMES!!! In 1 turn. Farrrk what a nutjob Napoleon is. (At this point in the game I’m getting a little worried, we are getting our population raped. If a call goes out for diplo victory, suileuman might win)

[image loading]

The next few turns are ROUGH! I’m being nuked at least 2 times each turn and there is a MASSIVE army pushing into our territory. And Suleiman has an SDI. DAMN HIM!!!!.

[image loading]

There is soo much combat going on, it’s impossible to report on it all. Each turn we lose a few cities, I am able to pull about 1 back each time, but this is a losing war. Nukes are going off like there is no tomorrow and the 4 armies are flowing in like you wouldn’t believe.

[image loading]

3 Turns to go and we’re been forced back to a few cities.

[image loading]

1 Turn to go, and Utretch is about to fall

[image loading]

A heroic defence. But Utrecht still falls. However this doesn’t matter, as we are victorious with a space race victory !!! (lol I had 2 cities remaining)

[image loading]

Congratulations Teamliquid!!!

We win yet another game!
If people are interested in another game, I will post up a 3rd thread in a couple of days. However let us all bask in the glory of our victory now
