The Escapist Plays: Civilization V (MOAR PLAYERS PLS)

[Mr Thin]

Looks like we need more food. I say Trapping again, I want them deer.

Also, may I ask what our workers in Onondaga are doing? Even if we don't get to decide what they do, I'm just curious.

Nothing. Do you want them to do something?

I'd get started on some roadwork towards Osininka. Might as well start now, when there's nothing else worth building yet.

 

[lacktheknack]

Two trapping, two bronze working. Someone should break the tie by the time I eat lunch, or else I'm breaking it myself.

Also, I hate automating workers, they always waste time building roads into themselves. Road to Osininka sounds like a good idea.

 

[lacktheknack]

Trapping it is, then.

Now, I'll just get these workers and warriors over to Osininka (while pissing off the local city states), and -

Enough is enough. If he keeps doing this, should we be insulting, or keep being maddeningly neutral?

Oh look, someone who doesn't want to kill us all! Fantastic!

Archers done. What to build now?

 

[Eumersian]

Let's stay neutral with Greece, until we get an army that can crush him, that is. :3

Let's try our hardest to make very good friends with the Inca.

Build a water mill, fo shizzle.

Also, fortify them archers at Onondaga, and scout north with the warriors.

 

[lacktheknack]

Let's try our hardest to make very good friends with the Inca.

Should we start right away? Should we give them some money? Should we negotiate open borders as soon as we can?

 

[Eumersian]

Well, we know that they came from the west, which means that we should find them before we settle out there (which we will probably end up doing anyway). But trying to give them money right away might not yield the benefits we want from it.

Usually, if you don't cross a civilization, they'll offer open borders pretty easily.

Also, why not go ahead and buy up Genoa after they stop hating us with some of that trust fund we have piled up?

 

[Mr Thin]

Did we do something to piss that Alexander guy off? Arrogant prick, with his fine clothing and wavy locks... ignore him for now. He will get his comeuppance.

Those Incas are also full of themselves, but in a friendly sort of way. So we should be full of ourselves, in a friendly sort of way. Open the borders, that we may investigate westward.

Concerning what to build... water mill for the win!

 

[Eumersian]

Did we do something to piss that Alexander guy off?

We settled "too close" to his territory.

 

[lacktheknack]

Watermill it is!

Better be careful, these guys don't look too friendly.

Perfect! Those deer by Onondaga don't stand a chance.

What next?

 

[booker]

"I think this is interesting, but I have no freaking clue!" Lack told me there's no shame in saying that. I wonder if there's no shame in losing all the time in FreeCiv too.

"I think this is interesting, but I have no freaking clue!" Lack told me there's no shame in saying that. I wonder if there's no shame in losing all the time in FreeCiv too.

I think there is shame in the second one.

But that's okay. this thread ought to be educational!

No shame in that, I've played Civ games before but I'm still checking the wiki to refresh myself on some of the techs.

Just pick a tech that sounds cool; at this point there's basically no tech we shouldn't get, or can't find a use for.

Dunno 'bout FreeCiv though.

OT: Camp the shit out of those deer! I want to see their soulful eyes glistening with tears of imprisonment before they can say "Save us Santa!". Then get them there workers back to road buildin'.

For tech, I vote calendar. That'll let us spice up this LP, if ya know what I mean. *wink wink*

Those red archers, they were barbarians, yes? Just wanna make sure.

 

[lacktheknack]

Red on black is barbarians, yes.

And yes, I catch your drift. It smells nice.

 

[lacktheknack]

Calendar it is!

Also, we're camping these deer, all right. They won't know what hit them!

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/542900969377652777/5828DFC3B72D3C7A286C485F07D094139E6DEFED/

Neither will these archers!

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/542900969377656547/72BB93EE3EE59DD6195DD950B0C4280406ED794D/

They survive our assault, only to get pwn'd by Geneva!

...And then us again!

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/542900969377654655/B4A9DDEFE81572E3D36E571C02C14C2D41A5804F/

Our workers have made it to Osininka, and they're building a horse pasture now.

Our archers move slightly north of Osininka -

And it's right next to Osininka, too! They can work that tile as soon as our borders expand more!

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/542900969377658019/A021838FC5C3F172FE91ABF1B9D9A4865CA5C282/

Also, Onondaga's water mill is completed. What next?

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/542900969377651097/A319E153EECE1567EF7B3778EC9F66EBC82AE9C9/

 

[Eumersian]

Settler, for sure.

 

[Mr Thin]

The turtle in me wants to build many archers and camp the cities; but I suppose it is for the best if we build a settler, to give our empire a helping hand.

 

[lacktheknack]

Settler being built. Where should we plant it?

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/542900969395624571/22F53ADAB316F0D11B62DB56644F8A4BACFBC023/

Ouch... looks like we're hurting in terms of Gold.

Archers garrisoned, Scouts healed. Where should they search now? Note the Greek Hoplites nearby.

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/542900969395620415/2D44AEBA9A8E492C196350E93D7D402E0C632582/

SPICES, BANANAS AND INCENSE! ALL OURS! MUAHAHAHAHAH!

What next?

[booker]

You should probably get ready to defend yourself against the Greeks. That'll teach Alexander for calling us a turdherfer! As for the settlers? LOOK TOWARDS THE NORTH-WEST [wooshy noises]

Basically, piss off Alexander as much as possible?

 

[Mr Thin]

Send the scouts north-west. When they find somewhere nice to stick those settlers, we'll have ourselves a triangle of cities.

As for tech; Alexander's been hounding us, so I say Masonry. Get those archers some walls to hide behind.
