: GAME START :

~~ Ivan: Hmm~ What's taking so long?
~~ Arthur: It's preparing to record the game.
~~ Ivan: Oh~ I can give orders ahead of time.
~~ Eddie: HEY! I'm still on the loading screen!

The game starts off normal in my view. I had sent my explorer off to circle the area and found that I was alone on my side of the island.

: Advancement to Colonial Age (First to Last: British - Russian - French) :

~~ Ivan: Aha~ You're pretty good Arthur.
~~ Arthur: Damn right I am.
~~ Eddie: You're rushing too much.

Only a few minutes had passed before the age up. [Eddie] may have come last in the age up race, but neither Arthur or me expected him to be so good at the game. Arthur managed to capture [Eddie]'s explorer, but that didn't slow [Eddie]'s progress at all.

: Advancement to Fortress Age (First to Last: French - Russian - British) :

Eddie reached Fortress Age only 11 minutes into the game, it took me and Arthur a few more minutes to catch up and by this time, Eddie had already built a fort and a sizable army for the stage of the game.

At this time, Arthur and I were focused on defense, him focusing on Outposts and myself on my own army and a wall to keep Arthur and Eddie out. Only seconds after the wall began construction, I found several French *Coureur des Bois stealing resources from my side. Shooting 1 down only made 3 more come...I needed more Strelets.

Eddie's real military force soon entered my area, [I learned at this point that I had neglected to block a second path], decimating my defense and setting me back economically, but otherwise I survived.

~~ Eddie: I'm gonna kill I'm gonna kill! HAHAHA!
~~ Arthur: So am I, f!@#$%^& French bastard! Feel the might of my field guns!
~~ Eddie: Hoshi-!

After that short exchange between my opponents, everything was calm and peaceful on my end, while in the distance I heard the sound of cannon fire, screaming and collapsing buildings.

: Advancement to Industrial Age (First to Last: Russian - British) :

~~ Arthur: Eddie, refill.
~~ Eddie: *grumble grumble* Here.

The French who were strong at the start suffered a crushing defeat by British Artillery. With no French presence, the Island was cleanly split between the British and the Russians.

: Advancement to Imperial Age aka "I don't know how he managed it, but Arthur got drunk" (First to Last: Russian - British) :

~~ Ivan: Eddie? What are you running around for?
~~ Arthur: Take that you kr!@#$
~~ Eddie: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKK!
~~ Ivan: Ah.

Arthur left the game unpaused while he wrestled for supremacy with Eddie.

: Livestock Pens: For Strategic Sheep Purposes :

The ringing of the bells when sheep ownership is passed returned Arthur's attention to the game from beating Eddie up.

~~ Arthur: Sheep~! Sheep~!
~~ Ivan: Aha~

And so I built 6 livestock pens close to my territorial border and made 30 sheep to send to Arthur whenever I could.

~~ Arthur: More Sheep~! Why don't I have a livestock pen?!

The sheer amount of sheep seemed to keep his attention, but he was pretty drunk by that point. He didn't seem to be capable of anymore military activity, so the game continued on with the sheep coming and going.

But not even the sheep could help Arthur with his headache. I told him he should have a bit more tea, but we couldn't find any. [EDIT: Oh~ It was under Eddie~]

: Victory to: The Russians - aka - "Arthur's intoxication induced migraine forced him to resign" :
