i have only the babylon dlc (bought ciV via d2d), and i can load the save, so the problem seems to be only babylon

Alright, then hopefully mesopotamia shouldn't matter (so long as we don't play on it).

So.. what's the situation like? I've gotten the Deluxe edition from steam, just incase you actually need to block it for people w.o certains addons.

Civ V downloading now - is it too late to get in, even though I suck?

Was a half-decent Noble player in Civ 4, dont know what that translates to here.

I didn't get the dlc, but I'm willing to get it to play succession. Can you do that?

If Person A has Deluxe Babylon DLC and Person B doesnt..

- Person B can't load Person A's save.
- Person A can load Person B's save.
- If Person A re-saves Person B's save and sends it back, Person B can't load the save.

If that's the case, you can take me off the roster. I did get the game, but not Babylon. (Of course, I got Napoleon in my random-leader game that I'm playing to see how Civ 5 works, so I wasn't too stoked to see that's who you randomed anyway, haha).

Good luck to you.

you currently cannot buy just babylon by itself unfortunately. i think we have enough people to make two groups: babylon and non babylon. we should make a non DLC succession thread

I already did that for this game

See my post here. I chose them all randomly before the game started, and then plugged them in manually. Despite Babylon not even being in our game, the DLC is somehow screwing with us.

This Napoleon game is DLC-only though

You'd have to start a new one.

Looks like I'll have to bow out -- I don't have any of the DLC.

Unfortunate. Hopefully there will be a fix soon.

Alright, well I'm not that great at either Civ5 or writing as I play, but I'll try.

And keep in mind that the images are breaking the layout, and therefore you can only see about 70% of them. To fix this go to your Profile, Edit Profile and check "Resize large images that distort the layout"

And we begin!

After a few days in the French empire without a leader, the reign has been passed to me.
First things first, I chose to start researching bronzeworking, and I've started producing the Stonehenge wonder in Liquidia.

Liquidia grows in size, and some nearby barbarians start approaching our turf.
Luckily, we've got backup from some Chinese and English warriors.

[image loading]

They're really not running away, I believe we can count on these guys.

And as such, England offers us a Pact of Secrecy against Darius, and I have intention of forming a pact of secrecy against someone who is extremely wise and remarkable, so I have to decline.
Elizabeth seems slightly mad, but she hasn't told me how wise or remarkable she is yet, so it's hard to know if it's a bad thing.

Ah! Barbarians!

[image loading]

You can barely see the Chinese running off with their tails between their legs, cowards..

Apparently our bond with the Chinese and the English are much more frail than I first thought, we'll have to survive this barbarian invasion by ourselves. I mount up my spearmens to head to friendly territories, fighting them in the would could turn out to be a foolish mistake.

As our friendly neighbourhood Military Advisor explains to me how to bombard enemies, the english come back for another poke at the barbarians. Strange enough the barbarian with one HP is actually chasing the English warriors..
I'm not trying to say that they're a bunch of wimps or anything, but.

[image loading]

So this is how I bombard stuff, huh.

And after all our barbarian endevours are over I get the chance to research a new technology, I chose the wheel. Seeing as both our cities are located right next to a river, and the watermill gives 2+ food to any city next to a river.

Seeing as our spearman did a great job at defending our city from the barbarian invation, I chose to rename him accordingly.

[image loading]

As our scouts get chased around by a group of bored barbarians, we meet upon a dude with a huge sword.

[image loading]

Safe to say I don't want to mess with this dude.

As the round passes both of our cities get attacked by barbarians. Well, both barbarians were on 1 HP, and got killed by my bombarding skill (thank you, Military Advisor.), but nevertheless, it was a dramatic event.

As the day ends, Darius the extremely wise and remarkable come to me with a proposition.
He feels that it would be best if we formed a pact of secrecy against Elizabeth, and Elizabeth not having any qualifications at this point, whilst Darius is extremely wise and remarkable.. Well, safe to say I accepted the deal.

Yay! The Stonehenge finishes, at the same time as the wheel gets done researching and a monument is built in Paris. 15+ culture now, well I want to leave it up to the next guy to take the call as to expanding or not, seeing as each expansion gives a 15% increase to social policy cost, it's a thinker.
And I also chose to research Iron Working, so that whoever successes me can see where the iron is, and get a head start on the other civilizations.

[image loading]

The voice of the dude who reads these things is really awesome.

Our fourth policy!

I chose to get the Citizenship one, since both Honor and Tradition seemed a bit dull at this point.
And this will open some fun policies for whoever is picking this up after me.

[image loading]

Policies, policies and more policies.

The rest of the game was rather uneventfull, or I might have become hungry, either way.
Our scouts died, they got cornered by two barbarians and four mountains, may they rest in peace.
The spearmen continued south, in search of the barbarians that attacked our village, they found some stranglers and finished them off.

Also, both Liquidia and Paris grew in size. I think all of this +food is putting a serious hurt on our empires happiness. It's still in the positive, but -11 happiness points just from population in our two cities. Oh well.

[image loading]

b_b The first place had 27 happiness, I have no clue as to how he could get that so fast..

Iron working finishes, and we enter the classical era.
With that I'd like to pass the torch on to the next gentleman in line to rule our fine empire.
Take note that the city state Helsinki wants us to kill some barbarians to the west of them, incase you enjoy killing defenceless barbarians.

Seeing as there's no one else on the list to PM I'll just leave this up to Nokarot.

PS. I'll double check the post for spelling errors and stuff later, right now I have to get something to eat and get some work done.

Good to see someone else picking it up. It's unfortunate this DLC issue has not only eliminated half our players, but also been kind of demoralizing to the point where I had almost given up hope. Hopefully now with a second turn, people will see the progression and jump in.

Out of those who have confirmed they have the DLC, here is where we stand in regards to a list. I'll go ahead and PM Antilegend and let him know it's his turn. If after Brownbear's turn we don't have another person on the list, I'll start PMing all the unconfirmed players and see if they have the DLC.

Edit: Tired of updating two lists at once, so check the OP for the player list, if you were checking this post.

I'd love to join the "without DLC" team and do my turn on the catwalk. If anyone sets the game up, please count me in. I might be persuaded to start it myself, but it will have to wait until this weekend.
