Just my luck, I finally get in but with only a 6 days to play and so far 2/6 gone with nothing.

I've been trying to get into this game since it began.

KYMnatRP Turn 6

Global Events
-Hephaestus kicks off the iron age with their advanced skill in metalurgy. This age is not significantly different from the bronze age
-Dark Ermac is kicked from the game! Prior arrangements have replaced him with Vardamir.
-DrPepperfan has quit the game! Prior arrangements have replaced him with RocketPropelledPanda.
-Because even I am getting confused with this, from now on military ranks will be posted in their order at the bottom of each turn. I have altered them a bit, so even if you memorized them it would be good to take a look.
-You all seem to think that this is the modern age when it is not. You cannot free all the slaves or have truely democratically elected leaders. There will be kings and emperors, and there will be slaves and paupers. You cannot instate a pinko-leftist socialist utopian democracy in the iron age or use modern terms like "president" and "industry". The Romans did not free slaves, they made slaves, and that's what kept the economy going. They didn't give the people rights to keep them complacent, they gave them bread and circuses and gladiator fights. If you keep up this modernistic mumbo jumbo I will have to keep giving you negative results.

-The Emperor delegates the position of consul to an elected official, and for reasons unknown to his people, he places himself in a lower status of power than the new office.

Wait… why am I kicked?

EDIT: oh God. I forgot KYMnatRP. In the future, you might want to warn people when they are about to get kicked off, because not everyone picks up on slight errors they might make that can get them kicked.

I had a feeling I was being to ambitious with the things I put in my message, I guess I need to expect less from my bumbling population, after all they are human.

If we had forum signatures here, mine would say "No Warning, No Mercy. Also: Osaka."
.
I believe I have stated before that there would be no warnings. If I didn't, this is that warning. If you stick around for another week you wil be able to join the next game.

I'm just gonna play civ 4 like a boss, but this looks more organized than before.

This game is going to be over in another week? We're still in the metal ages for Zçùla sake, I don't see this world ending for a while… Unless you have plans to surprise us with a giant meteor and make the human race go extinct… But whatever you want to do. Also, a side question, when do you plan on adding the whole 3 things our nation needs aspect, or did you trash that?

Well lets see. We are about to get to turn 7, in which almost everyone will be in the iron age. After that is the Middle ages (steel), discovery (gunpowder+high seas ships), industrial (railway+factories), atomic (nuclear research) and then everyone dies. That shouldn't take more than a week and a half, at maximum.

Haha fun times ahead I should think then.

FYI, gunpowder existed before the middle ages (unless you count 800 as the middle ages…)

Yeah during the first century it was discovered, well the earliest form of it I believe. Saltpepper or something I think it was called.

Just as likely to kill the user and the man standing next to him as the enemy though :P

Not in my world.

He does have a good point, this is his world.

I'm pretty sure if this was the real world, then there would be the Roman Empire, the Mongols and everything else that came kicking everyone's asses.

I hope I get a pet dragon… Roll eyes I jest.

Hmm, I suppose, I guess I was thinking about how the last game was only in the modern era, and that lasted a good couple of weeks, with RussianFedora and his nukes. Also, when you said we'd be discovering a new tech each turn, I didn't think that we'd be entering a new era every turn. But like I said, whatever you want is fine.
.
Also, other players, I keep finding myself looking at this for advice on what would be reasonable to research next. http://www.civfanatics.com/gallery/files/1/techtree_original.jpg

I'm trying to just think of whatever sounds reasonable off the top of my head without guides or anything because then I will truly have made my own kingdom. But with all the advances you need to make its hard to fit them in 12 lines.

I'm modeling mine off of the Jews, because we're survivors.

I wouldn't do that if I were you, the Holocaust is just bound to be recreated if you tempt people like that, what if HoH or Sweetie Killer all the sudden joined the game, you would die. That is why I am just free reigning with creation and not basing it off of anything, for now.

I'm basing my country off of a country I created in a social studies class. It's working so far.

Mine is a mix of a lot of things. My strategic gameplay will resemble that of the Spanish Empire (Major colonization and spread of religion). My 'cultural' gameplay resembles that of ancient Egypt (Monarchy, slavery, gender equality, theocracy) for now. And I'm naming things with a language based off Italian/ Portuguese. I won't say this game is my life (mostly because I'm afraid of getting kicked, JK), but when I roleplay, I tend to really develop my character deep, or as in this case- nation. xD

I was eventually going to go Chinese-style with the Deisans, at least in terms of revolutionizing technology. Shortly before the sudden uprising that lead to the previous leader being discarded, the people were busy mining for minerals, including sulfur and nitrates.

We'll see about that…..

You should be fine as long as you teach your people Jew-jitsu.

Global Events & Notes
-You should only title your PMs KYMnatRP if you are in the present game, as I don't even read messages that are titled KYMnatRP until I am making the turn, and I will ignore them if they are not from players in the present game. If you have a question, comment, or concern, send it in a seperate PM not titled KYMnatRP. Thanks.
-Anyone in the iron age may now invent two things at once, rather than one (which is the rule for those not in the iron age, in case you didnt know).

Epoch: Iron Age
Techs: Mathematics, Irrigation, Iron Tools, Iron Weapons, Chariots/Carts, Galley, Literature, Blast Furnace
Culture: Philosophy, Imperial
Army: Average Trained
Navy: Average Militia
Econ: Big Agrarian

-Literature develops in Hephaestus, and some of the nation's greatest tales and epics are written into permanent documentation. For this, Hephaesus is granted one free tech(blast furnace).
-A new emperor reconstructions the Great Chain of Production and attempts to place more emphasis on his control over it by crowning the imperial seat as the single general in command of the armies. This has resulted in a long spiral of continual conquests by the empire, monarch after monarch, reclaiming lost lands and more.
-Being that anywhere from 25 to 40 percent of Hephaestus's capital city is already enslaved, the official promotion of slavery has had little impact on the economy.

-A written code of laws is made by the Empress, and a complicated serries of judges are set up to rule over their new conquests. Judges rapidly overturn the power of male generals and governors, making the ruling elite almost exclusively those of the judicial branch.
-Small colonies in Italia and Libya are established by the more adventurous and independent Borg.

-The Deisan military is trained through mock battles immitating supposed strategies and tactics learned out of tales from foreign soldiers.
-The church and state combine, forming a theocratic government form. Naturally, being that the state and religion are already largely considered as one, the votive denizens have found renewed faith in the kingdom's royalty, believing the king to be on level with god.

Culture: Matriarch, Celestia religion , Utilitarian
Army: Miniscule Militia
Navy: Miniscule Militia

-Equestria splits into two empires, but rather than being based upon territory, they are based upon time. One emperor rules during the summer months, and another during winter. One sits upon the Throne of the Sun, and the other on the Throne of the Moon, respectfully.
-The new dual monarchy enables the kings and queens of the realm to interact with their people when not ruling the state, and the time constraints to their power limits ambitious goals and the effects of bad planning or selfish laws.
-Equestria enters the iron age.
-Archery is developed, with such weapons as the crossbow and even the catapult. Another strange oriental weapon developed during the time period includes the Aara coilded sword, which is much more like a bladed whip.

Y'all be busy invading, but

+1 because I read that book.

LoL I finally discovered stone.

Tita is not looking for war. In fact, we are looking for a peaceful bond with other nations. We are only creating an army in case war does in fact break out.

So nobody is even going to mention that Egypt is completely wiped off the map and how unfair/stupid that is?
.
Okay. Guess I can get away with it. Prepare for a horrible map update tomorrow.

edit:
So you know what you will be working with:

Deal with it.

Oh hey, Egypt got wiped off the face of the planet? Pity. And I actually like the new map, it changes things up. I also think this game is much more fair than the last one in terms of setup and rules, and a lot more fun as well. I'd just like to thank you Red/ Blue Syndicate for all your hard work.

All of a sudden, horrific earthquakes tear the Atlantic and Pacific coastlines from North America! As an additional side effect, Iceland and a small part of Canada change into New Scotland and New Ireland! Finally, Old Scotland and Ireland somehow become the New Wapanese Islands. No one knows how this happened, given these islands moved across half the world to get there, but some believe that aliens are involved somehow.

Oh, and Australia fragmented, but no one really cares about Australia.

It's things like this that make me wish I didn't screw up and get myself kicked…

You do realize there is an empty slot don't you?

What happens after the atomic age?

A wild RussianFedora appears.
.

.
RussianFedora uses nuke. Its super effective!
.
Earth has fainted! You have no more planets, you lose.

He's not even in the game. XD

Also, what empty spot?

Wait there is an empty slot that I can has?

I think Hylia was flooded and died or something.

Plus, Red was planning on adding 2 extra spots before I died.

adding the spots and the flooding makes sense I guess. Just though Hyrule would turn into somethin like it was in Wind Waker or some sorta Atlantis shrugs who knows I just enjoy reading about the game even if I can't participate :D

so if teal was Hyrule and Hyrule is the now open spot…Can I has teal? If so since Hyrule was destroyed would I hafta come up with a new nation or would I take what could be considered the survivors of the epic flood to make a new nation? So many possibilities!

Shoot Red a PM.

Whateveryou feel like doing. Since it technically isn't on the map anymore, you can do either. Or somethign else. Asking in PM is the best option.
.
Also, I was not adding two new slots, I was taking players out of two slots.

I sent Blue Syndic (BS?) a PM anyways and does this mean I'm in charge of teal nao or does it just disappear into the wasteland of worlds gone past?

I was just commenting on the fact that it could be shortened 2 that is all :P
Plus your GMin a game, pple are rarely fullly satisfied though I do enjoy this one quite a bit :D

Since it's already an hour and a half or so later than when the turns are usually up, I'm assuming today is skipped, yes?

PLEASE POST THE TURN, THANK YOU.

EDIT: YAY! 22nd page get!
