Empires of the Ancient World!
« on: June 08, 2022, 02:27:33 pm »

First of all, let's get topical.

You start out in a middle of nowhere, and have 24 Turns to develop your land, colonize nearby territories, gather wealth and resources, build monuments and perhaps knock down a peg or two that bastard obviously trying to out-wealth you.


Playerlist:
1. Kashyyk (Yellow, North Egypt)
2. Fluffe1911 (Skyblue, Western Anatolia)
3. stoirtap (Green, Northern Persia)
4. A_Curious_Cat (Red, Southeastern Mesopotamia)
5. MonkeyMarkMario (Brown, Southern Nubia)

I’d like Southeastern Mesopotamia, please.

Edit:  changed name of territory to match list in OP.

Edit2:  A few quick questions about the rules… Am I correct in understanding that, in the tribal era (for example), that if I declare my intention to colonize a territory it becomes mine 3 turns later?  Can I declare intention to colonize another territory before the previous one is mine, or do I have to wait the whole 3 turns before I can declare intention to colonize another Territory?  Also, what happens if two players declare intention to colonize the same territory on the same turn?  What if a player declares intention to colonize a territory that, another player has declared intention to colonize, before the 3 turns are up?

After much deliberation, and a few bribes, the ruling council of Southern Nubia has declared its intentions to be a major way of change on the Nile river.

PS the color is Brown.

My Forum game(s):
None for now

Any future games will be simpler in nature, I have a bad habit of biting off more than I can chew. Also hoping for more players in them.

I have Discord for my games now(not necessary to play, tho might be easier to contact me): https://discord.gg/DuaARAZ

Why does it look dark red?

Yes, but you need at least +4 Prosperity from tiles before you can colonize your first land.

As for multiple players trying to colonize a land: first come, first go.

I hope this works well… I just realized that a series of bad rolls on my starting territory could leave me permanently unable to expand.  :D


Edit2:  Looking at it in terms of ability to start expanding, I think riverplains and savannas are both excellent options, and plateaus are the next best.  Forests and hills are the worst that you can start in, because you absolutely must get both fruit trees and legumes for a forest territory and both sheep and wheat  for a hill territory, or else you are screwed!  Of course, you can be screwed by a series of bad rolls no matter where you are…

Is it possible to replace an existing Development with a new one?

Yes, you can replace developed Tiles, just remember it counts into 'can develop X tiles per turn' mechanic.

TURN 1 - TRIBAL 1

Quote from: Pre-development rolls
1, 2, 7, 5, 7

In time before written history...
The Northern Egyptians master cultivation of Barley. In Western Anatolia, Northern Persia and Southern Nubia, the first fields of Wheat are sown. And in the Southeastern Mesopotamia, the locals create first orchards of Fruit Trees.
