The Age Of Being Really Well Dressed | Millennia - Part 10 (Historical Turn-Based 4X Game)

Millennia continues and the people of Cupboardia find themselves in an age when they are really very well dressed indeed. Either they've got the whole Silicon Valley casual turtleneck and jeans thing going on or they're wearing a very flashy fancy suit! Either way they look marvellous!
The power suit people probably work in our new Government. We opt for a Democratic Government to try to help us gain a lot more research and for the most part it works. Granted we can't quite catch up with Greece but we're maybe not quite as far behind!
Also helping our research are the wonderful computers we're now able to produce and thanks to our turtled-necked Silicon Valley workers we're able to produce a lot more of them and make them incredibly effective!
In this brave new world we now have ideologies and we make sure that we promote ours via the use of telecommunications and radio, with our very first radio station being set up in Northampton. Welcome to Radio Northampton!
Also we upgrade our troops, Greece kill one of our units and Japan attacks a balloon.

----------------------------
Create your own nation in Millennia, a historical turn-based 4X game that challenges your strategic prowess across 10,000 years of history, from the dawn of humanity to our possible futures. Set the course of history and experience different timelines in every playthrough as you write an epic story through your actions. Lead your people through times of crisis and ages of discovery, face great challenges and opportunities, and build a civilization that prospers through the ages.
Dictate the course of history across ten ages, from the first cities to space travel. Accomplish certain objectives and you can move time into a Variant Age - an alternate history with new rules, new technologies, and new units. But beware Crisis Ages; following a path of chaos and disorder may plunge the world into a future filled with war, sickness or ignorance. Then again, a wise ruler can always turn a crisis into an opportunity.... Choose the path with care, as the ages you pass through will have a lasting impact on your people and the world.
Customize your nation by adopting unique Nations Spirits over the course of your game. Will you be a nation of warriors or explorers? Are your people lead by a Great Khan or a builder of monuments? Are you known for defining pop culture or for dominating global finance? What parts of your culture will reverberate across history?
Manage your economy with care and create a juggernaut of growth and construction. Start with basic resources to gain food, wealth, and production. As your advance, decide how to best convert these simple goods into more valuable products through research and improvements. Specialize your regions, turning iron into weapons or tools, wood into paper or lumber, gold into coin or jewelry. Ship surplus goods where they are needed, allowing the breadbasket of your empire to feed far-flung colonies or your industrial heartland to supply troops near your enemy.
Pursue knowledge to research scientific and cultural advances, unlocking new units, buildings, and improvements to grow your cities or strengthen your armies. Research Defense to train the first archers, Smelting to master iron production, or Guilds for making wine. Variant and Crisis Ages feature unique alternatives, introducing everything from Cloud Estates in the Age of Aether to underwater cities in the Age of Utopia.
Achieve your ultimate success through a Victory Age. Toward the end of the game (or earlier if your strategy is sound), dominance allows a nation to dictate the winning conditions. The rest of the world must decide if they will struggle to achieve victory before the leader ... or oppose the leader's attempt. Risk everything to take victory in the Renaissance or carefully plan for triumph in the modern era.

I find it amusing to see computers and rocketry in the late 1800s. It's one of the things that makes Civilization style games fun. This is going quite well for you. :)

[@MuazliMarzuki]

Maybe you need to tweak the food production to free up space in your land, feels like the food is too abundant in certain region so farms / meat improvements can be destroyed to make way for other exciting buildings, also food can be focused on water tiles only so that regions with less land can optimize their use on the lands available

Not saying this out loud, only thinking to myself - what happened to the lovely Teaism? 😱

[@TheGeekCupboard]

We cover that in this video. If you don't pick Fundamentalism then your religion just stops being a thing! I guess it's still there, we're all having lovely tea, it's just not an important thing for people any more.

@@TheGeekCupboard "It's just not an important thing for people any more"? 😱 We're talking about TEA, not coffee! lol Yes, you did mention it, I just found it strange that the religion for most of the Cupboardian towns now aren't Teaism anymore 😢

[@TheGeekCupboard]

I'll have words with the Cupboardian nation, show them the error of their ways.

[@saethman]

@@TheGeekCupboard phew

Coming soon! The Age of Greece Bringing Us Into An Age We Don't Want To Go Into (Again)

[@TheGeekCupboard]

That's pretty much all the ages starting from The Age of Plague...

[@pop9095]

I feel compelled to clear up, at least as I see it, something you said about Communism. You seem to think the 50% reduction in luxury needs is somehow a penalty and not a great boon, which naturally it is. Cheers.

[@TheGeekCupboard]

Ooohhh! I read it as we'd produce less luxury but with the same level of demand, but no you are absolutely correct. I misunderstood that completely!

@@TheGeekCupboard Those poor red sumbitches just never really get any, so they aren't upset when they are missing. Throw 'em a Barbie doll every now and then and they lose their minds.

*Notes Feudal Monarchy* ""They [Japan] haven't gone into the next age yet, which is quite surprising." *Laughs, as his Asian Studies knowledge that makes this viewer know how damn hard Japan ["Thanks" to Commodore Perry] was dragged kicking and screaming into the western modern age.* (FYI, they also historically are quite xenophopic throughout most of their history, so why they likely hate you to start.) Look you were balloon spying on Japan, you might as well at this point destroy them (The explorer used a bow on the balloon.) Again, you have zone zero turns in prior ages and can quickly finish them and get more social fabrics done (one of the end game conditions uses that.)
