[ChrisiusMaximus]

This game is developing nicely now but getting a tad complicated !!

Ive lost count of how many times Ive had to replay my turn because Ive clicked continue game instead of save game after my third civ :D

[Paddy]

:lol:

yes with the other two civ games this one is a tad confusing... yet I am really enjoying it too

[ChrisiusMaximus]

:lol: yes but like you say mucho fun :)

[Paddy]

1125BC to Lord Chrisius

[Paddy]

1100BC

and my 3 civs are in contact

how goes your explorations

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Yes I too have all three in contact though the possibility of linking all three will be some way off. The roadbuilding required will be enormous and I suspect from what Im seeing that the barbs are going to be a pain in the ass :D

I know of all your civs too and the Byzantines but the second AI so far evades me, but my scouts are out a hunting as we speak!

This is quite a large map ;) should be as massive if not more so than Mad :)

seems their warriors decimated my swordsmen :(

back to you good sir

[ChrisiusMaximus]
