[Mini] Phallization - Game Over! Babylonian, Egyptian and Celtic Victory!

watch?v=XZlWmYe8HM4

In the beginning, the earth was without form, and void. But the sun shone upon the sleeping earth, and deep inside the brittle crust massive forces waited to be unleashed.

The seas parted, and great continents were formed. Mountains arose, earthquakes spawned massive tidal waves. Volcanoes erupted, and spewed forth fiery lava, and charged the atmosphere with strange gases.

Into this swirling maelstrom of fire and air and water, the first stirrings of life appeared; tiny organisms, cells and amoeba, clinging to tiny sheltered habitats. The seeds of life grew, and strengthened, and spread, and diversified, and prospered. And soon, every continent and climate teemed with life.

And with life, came instinct, and specialisation, natural selection; reptiles, dinosaurs, and mammals. And finally, there evolved a species known as man, and there appeared the first faint glimmers of intelligence. The fruits of intelligence were many; fire, tools and weapons, the hunt, farming, and the sharing of food. The family, the village, and the tribe. Now, they required but one more ingredient, a great leader to unite the quarrelling tribes, to harness the power of the land, to build a legacy that would stand the test of time.

Civilization.

civilization_4_cover.jpg

Welcome to Phallization! A Mini Phalla based on the Civilization series of computer games created by Sid Meier.

What is a Mini Phalla?

It’s a smaller, shorter variation of the Phalla forum game, which is based on the part game Mafia. More information can be found in this very useful post here.

What about Civilization?

Civilization is a 4X strategy game where you take control of a famous historical leader and build cities, train armies and research technologies in order to compare against other civilizations. There have been 4 iterations of the game in the main series, as well as the successful spinoffs Alpha Centauri and Civ Revolution. Find out more right here.

So how is this game going to work?

In keeping with the theme, this will be a faction game, with 7 different empires competing to gain control of the world. Alliances will be formed, cities will be razed and shenanigans will be had. More on that later.

It’s GMT week here at Phalla. What are you going to be bringing to the table?

God bless GMT, and all of its neighbouring zones. However, aware that a large portion of people are temporally challenged in this regard, I’m going to try my best to make it the best of both worlds and close the vote at 1AM BST. I’m not going any later than that, I’ve learnt my lesson.

So how do I Sign up?

When you enter the game, you will become the governor of one of the great cities of your civilization. Therefore it’s time to get creative, as what I want you to do when you !Sign up is to !Name Your City. I expect good things.

Clarifications in Orange, as is the custom.

    And picking a Shadowrun town, while my first choice, would be seen as bland. :(

    Second choice is something out of Avatar, but I'm only now getting into the series and book 1 moved so fast that I never really caught any of the city names.

    It was either that or something from FFH and I figured ddj was going to have that covered.

    I'm pretty dedicated Gaians/University, actually.

    Gaians early Mind Worm captures for military expansion + easy access to the strong and eco-friendly Forest farm (soooo much forest spreading = turns saved not having to wait on Formers) is pretty dependable for me.

    University for lolresearch, obviously.

    EDIT: I play something different like Morganites if I'm interested in going after silly strategies like Seaformers collapsing continents.

    Usual clarifications:
    What is the action order?

    What happens in the event of a tied vote?

    Is there trickle-down?
