Lets Play :: Civilization V :: The First Turn :: Germany
« on: January 30, 2011, 06:18:25 am »

Greetings and welcome to all around...

Simple Disclaimer:
Please show me some support at the very least, even if you are just reading over it, the more support I receive the more I will be willing to push onwards...


I have looked over our Lets Play Child Forum and wondered to myself. Was Civilization V such a bust that not even one person is wanting to show they have even bought the thing. Civilization IV gets a lot of attention while its newer Brother receives nothing, despite all the water it stir before and during its release. Heck only 2 others on my (VERY LIMITED) Steam list show that they have even purchused the game, and the last time I saw someone playing it was to test some Community mods that had been developed. Does the Bay12 Community dislike this or are they just wary of something that has appeared to threaten something they love (Civ4)...

Yes Civ5 does bring a few changes from the Norm of yesterCivs...

The Map is now Hexagons over the old Squares, changing how the units move and the world looks in whole. Hard to judge the distance people say, I say you just ain't looking right...

No more Doom Stacks they have screamed. I say it never made sense to begin with, how could 15 Infantry fit in the same Square that held 40 Tanks, the Units now taking up a whole grid and normally coming in a squad of 10 (to represent their HP) and Ranged units can fire over tiles now taking those squishy archers further away from the pointy spears...

City States have shown their faces here, taking point from the many ideas of other games and bringing it to full in this, three varieties giving three different bonuses, something extra to strive to maintain and it feels right...

Nonetheless though, not one word has been said about Civilization V in a full account of itself. And I aim to rectify it to a point. So lets get started shall we...

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~


We are playing on a Huge Fractal map, on the Prince Difficulty and at Standard Pace...

I hope that we can work together and lead our nation forward through the times...

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

And so begins our game. Updates on Turns will be something like extended parts, unsure on how many turns will come between them, so give me a shout on how many turns you actually want to see. Of course, important events will be shown...

Update 1 - Turn 1: Starting our Nation.
Update 2 - Turn 5: Taking our second Step.

I vote for Arabia. You can earn metric fucktons of money if you play them right. Settle every luxury resource you can possibly reach, build bazaars in all your cities, then trade your ginormous amounts of luxuries to all the other civilizations for GPT. Watch as you have enough income to recruit one of the standard infantry of your age every turn and still have a positive net income of gold.

Looks like its the Germans then, I'll give it until after work before I start, if people start changing the vote then we will see what happens then.

Sidenote: I played German a good bit, but I never had any luck with the Barbcamp and turning them to my side. Felt like it was a 10% chance over the 50% it says...

Well then I shall start tonight...

Germans win by 4 points, but I have no drive or direction. Other then for some reason we are supporting great mustaches of the World. Perhaps only those who have them shall be our allies, all others shall perish...

Also to note, 16 people voted, yet only 8 people posted, really would have liked more responses then just poll voting people...

New Vote up shortly...

\\Should I spoiler the Images???\\

Hail Mighty Bismarck, First Chancellor of Germany and Her Empire, He of one Epic Mustache.... I mean...



Might Bismarck, Welcome to Civilization V, we would have gotten an wonderful Portiat of you for the people to adore, but for some reason our Artist was found blacked out for some reason or another (Print Screen kept showing me a black Window instead of the epic images they have for the leaders at the start.) It is good to be in your service once again, may we lead our people to greatness. Already they call for the blood of our foes, but I am unsure of whom they mean, surely we are safe for now, no one would dare threaten you and the Empire of Germany...

Shall we look into where the people have come to rest, it appears to be a good location to settle...



Look, to the South West we have located some Wheat, the wild crop would be useful when we are able to build a Farm and plant them in a more productive manner. And to the North West there is Wine and Incense, with them our people shall be calmed and happy with a soothing drink during the night and smells that can calm the nerves and restlessness of sleep and work. The forests to the North and South East are thick and we cannot see further then their start, perhaps something of worth is out there...

Oh dear, we better get our settler, well settled...

There we go, Our First City, Berlin...



Our warriors were ordered to Explore the land around us, taking their first steps into the city itself (Perhaps to take some time at the local tavern or some other 'pleasant' business. Do not worry Mighty Bismarck, they will be off to work shortly. But ours is not done yet. We need to decide on what Technology we should begin researching, and what our grand city should begin working on, either raising troops or workers or even a Monument in your honour, such a building would raise the culture of our small Empire. None the less I will show you our Choices...

Production::


Research::


Needless to say, in researching one Technology it will unlock more, the possibilities of advancement, they are too great. Perhaps some other time I will show you how they advance, or do you wish to see them now???

Please make your Decision oh Mighty Bismarck...
