The past is history. Tomorrow's a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why we call it the present.
Nice summary and fun to see the "succession order"!
Carolus
Yep, interesting to see who has been around a while, though the list is a little misleadingas it doesn't show subs (for instance MacUser went missing long before June 2003, and was subbed by DaveV for quite a while before La Fayette started as the Babylonians).
I am tempted to post my summary of cities and units from the opening screen as I track it to follow the game progress, but I am not sure that is something everyone would want to share.

IIRC I subbed for Eddy as the Egyptians for a couple of months while I was also playing as the Romans; La Fayette subbed for me when he was also in charge of the Babylonians...
Yes, it's been quite an "incestous" game!
As for displaying the progress of the game. Do you refer to the screen where all the civs are listed with their number of cities and units? There're no secrets there, it's common information, so what could be the harm?
Carolus
To the servant of the Mongolian hordes,
Yet again a few of your charming ladies have been repatriated. Your complaints about our noble female ambassadors (just visitors searching knowledge) are pale in light of the repeated occurances of your women in our lands. If you cannot even rule your women, how can you rule an empire?
As for our engineers, they work with a peaceful purpose. We have noticed that you cast your greedy eyes towards the Sioux city close to their workplace. We propose the Mongols to do the same amount of work (but to the north/north east of your city) to improve the land there.
What say you, servant of tyranny?
Carolus
Carolus,
I got my message back (it seems that your inbox is full):
Could you please post your save HERE ? (I have problems with Outlook Express: can read messages but cannot download attached files)
Green plays after White: that's why the Roman save should be sent to the Babs that I rule.
Post here, please !
Thank you.
Salut La Fayette,
Bien sûre (avec un "e"?), je vais essayer de le faire toute (avec un "e"?) de suite! Mais comme il ne fait pas mal du temps que j'aie "uploaded" un jeu, on verra bien si j'arriverai ou pas...
S'il vous plaît, un peu de silence...
Carolus
Ah!
I say, good show old chap (en espérant que ça marchait)!
Carolus
... but nobody has downloaded the game...
Carolus
Sorry,
my computer has been under harsh virus attack and I was without connection during almost a month.
Almost anything seems to be working fine now (once and for all, I hope
Could someone please send me a list of e-mail addresses of the 7 players in this game ?
(I seem to have lost them during my hectic fighting against the virus)

It worked. Thanks a lot.
Sorry to hear that, La Fayette; we missed you in No Wonders as well...

We have withdrawn not only our ambassadors in your lands, but also we have withdrawn all of our citizens near Roman lands in preparation for war as you have failed to withdraw your Engineers from the land south of Kerman.Originally posted by Carolus Rex

Should you again fail to withdrawn them immediately we will have no choice but to remove them forcebly from South Kerman (though we do not wish war with the Romans as our two empires have enjoyed years of peaceful relations).
As for the area north of Kerman, we fully intend to cultivate the land to the North, but our eyes are not on the Roman city of Kabulantium, but on the Mongol city of Kabul.
As for our female ambassadors, they sought a passageway to your allies, the Babylonians, in the hope that we could lean more of these Southern peoples. However your repeated expelling of our ambassadors has made necessary our repeated attempts.
/me leader of the Mongolians who are all hoping that the leader of the Romans seeks peace between our people and will not sacrifice Engineers in order to provoke a war which will serve neither of us.

We will have to survey the situation when our turn comes before deciding on this matter.
We cannot understand, however, how working on land that is rightfully ours can be seen as an act of aggression...
We also note that, although there are no direct acts of violence between our peoples, we belong to different alliances. Furthermore, our allies are fighting each other openly and our "pact" of non-aggression is increasingly strained... Since we cannot risk a stab in the back our engineers are undertaking the above mentioned work for defensive purposes only...
Carolus
Has the Roman King noticed that his turn comes right after mine and played yet?
(my email to you had the gamefile attached)

Hi!
Yup, I've got it. Work overload, but I'll play it soon (hm, that has a familiar ring to it, has it not?).
Carolus
LOL, good to hear you haven't forgotten us. I just get worried when I was the player before and the turn has not been played as I wonder if the turn was received by the person I sent it to.

I had everything set up to play them (I'm involved in two PBEMs) yesterday. Except that I had left the game CD at work...I'll put it in my bag right after this post!
Instead, I started a game against the AI.
Three AIs, deity, raging hordes... It's about 180 AD, I have HG, Colossus (both in the capitol), MPE and the Lighthouse. Preparing to change to republic. Fun game (I played until about one in the morning)!
Carolus
After some Five monthssince my last turn, the 660 AD save has now been emailed to the leader of the Romans (Carolus).
I am hopeful of getting the next turn before Christmas, but not sure if I am being overly optomistic or not

The Roman leader has sent his save to Hammurabi who felt really happy
Here is the Bab save.
For anyone watching this thread, the game save file was sent to Carolus some time ago.
I can only assume he received it........has it moved forward to La Fayette / Dave V yet?

Hi!
I'm watching this thread... Sorry to report that I haven't forwarded it yet...
I'm in the process of moving to a new place, but I will try to play my turn before Christmas...
Carolus
Okay, thanks for the update, I knew that La Fayette was away for a while, I thought it might be with him.
Now I know.

Just struck me that I have to install some kind of software that facilitates diplomatic negotiations...
So it may take a while longer...
