So, another lets play on the forums. This is my first and is more of a practice run for possible future LPs.
Anyway, Civilization IV with the Beyond the sword and Warlords expansion packs.


Edit, okay so that first game didn't go to well. The next game begins here: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=40165.msg700891#msg700891
Edit 2, well that second game didn't go as planned ether. Third game starts here: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=40165.msg702669#msg702669




We be dwarves!

Now to find a nice place to build our first city. Any suggestions on City name or where I should put it?

Edit: Gah these pictures are horrible quality, I'll have to see what I can do about this.

[TheNewerMartianEmperor]

Call it Bay 12, of course. Who is our civ's leader?

[Luckk]

The Tower of Shields sounds somewhat Dwarven to me, so I would suggest that for a name.  I say try to position it so you are next to the river, but can still get the corn/hay and the thing below the village.  Our leaders name is Urist by the way.

[A_Fey_Dwarf]

Urist, Who else? Anyways, Future cities can be named by readers and you will have partial control over what you want your city to do. Whether I should concentrate on farming, military or commerce is up to you.
Our scout ransacked a village to find 40 gold. Not great, but better than nothing. Moving the settler towards those hills for a better (more dwarvenly) view.

Hmm this seems to be a nice place and those flood plans look like a great area to build farms and cottages. Also, corn, banana, cows, wine and spices. Excellent!

[TheNewerMartianEmperor]

I say that the second city shall be called "Oldbeard Keep"! Run under the semi-benevolent rulership of Oldbeard the ancient!

[A_Fey_Dwarf]

Bay12 is founded! First order of business. Building another scout to explore the area further.

Hmm I have good feelings about this city. It will become a mecca of trade and commerce. Though I don't think very much in the way of military will be built here. There just aren't enough hills. After the scout is done, I will get a settler out to build our second city if our scouts find a suitable location.

[TheNewerMartianEmperor]

I say that our first priority should be a war against our greatest enemies. They are nearby and many in number, but we shall prevail!

[Luckk]

Yes!  All must die before the Dwarven empire!  Also, if you do plan on letting people have some control of cities, I would like a city on the coast of a ocean (if there are any) called the Bay of Shields.

[TheNewerMartianEmperor]

I'm sure you know who are biggest, most visible enemies are, right?

[A_Fey_Dwarf]

Our greatest enemies? Well, We know not of any other civilization. Though if we find one, they will be greeted with WAR.
Anyways started research of mining, we need to make a bee line for bronze working if we want to get any sort of military going.

Also found a nice place for a military city, with this many mines our production will be great.

[TheNewerMartianEmperor]

Not other civilizations. The trees. They're watching us, are bigger then us, and they relentlessly assault our upper tunnels! Clearly, they are a threat to all existence as we know it!

[Luckk]

The Elfs (Indians or Mayas)?  I really don't know, but we must own the glaciers!

Edit that I was to lazy to delete for being slow:Ah, got yeah, trees.

[A_Fey_Dwarf]

Another nice area for building a mining area city...

OH SHIT PANTHERS! RUN!

You are right these trees are evil. They must have called upon the panthers to attack us.


Rumors have reached Bay12 of a weird thing called religion. Apparently, in far away areas people believe in these weird things known as Buddhism and Hinduism. Sounds like a load of gobbledy-gook if you ask me, I hope none of my faithful servants start believing in these fairy tales. Our more important research has lead to the discovery of mining, and the elders are now looking into a practice known as bronze working to see if we can apply it to war. There are even hopes this bronze working will allow us to remove of the foul trees.

[TheNewerMartianEmperor]

Oldbeard says that people shouldn't believe in gods and spirits and things. He says that only encourages them.

[A_Fey_Dwarf]

Our scout survived the panther attack, and we also now have another scout produced at Bay12. He will search off to the south to find where this strange thing known as a river leads to. We have already found one end of the river in the mountains, who knows what we will find at the other end. Now that the scout is finished we can put our efforts into promoting and convincing the fair people of Bay12 into settling off else where and building a second city.

Ahh our scouts have found these strange men in green who call themselves Ottomans.

How dare others exist on this planet that are not under my control. This means WAR!
