Yes! We did! We have just finished the first great construction that will forever remind the world of the industrious folk of Legoland, sometimes called "The Builders".![]()

All made of Lego blocks, I suppose.
Good job Legos!![]()

Our Imperial Attache to Legoland has sent us this image:

You know, the Pyramids were originally coated with a softer white stone (that unfortunately didn't pass the test of time), so originally the Pyramids didn't look like Inca temples, but the surfaces were flat. IIRC the tops were covered with ivory (Legoland wouldn't happen to have any, would it?), but raiders (European treasure hunters, I think) removed them hundreds of years ago.
Yours are still magnificent, though.![]()

That pic of a Lego Pyramid is priceless!![]()
Thanks for sharing this, GF.
Oh, and congratulations to you Lego guys.
GF, that picture is marvellous!![]()

Shiber, the only reason that the original face stones (white Granate IIRC) on the pyramids didn't stand the test of time, was that they were stripped off by later natives to use in Cairo buildings.

Yep, that's why some of it is still at the topmost areas of the Pyramids. The locals couldn't reach that high.Originally posted by E_T

In this same post Vox would like to apologize to the rest of the world for invading GS. If we had known it would bring the game to a grinding halt, we would have reconsidered.![]()
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.

How hard could it be....
Switch production in all cities to Chariots.
Give up the cities that are undefendable.
Retreat all forces to a defensable position.
There....I did it in 2 minutes.
Want more detail...post a map, and I will see what I can do !

Well, how many turns did you have to plot your betrayal? 10-15? AFter that its just march the immortals down the southern road and mass in d'ville, right? Our turns will be a lot shorter when we are tracing your footsteps back to the northOriginally posted by BetaHound

The key lesson here is to take your opponent in a mere month. The Coalition forces did that in Iraq and the Iraqis aren't taking near as long with their turns anymore.
Hey GF, mind if I use that image for the newZupdate?

I thought they why worn out by natural forces. Thanks for the into E_T!Originally posted by E_T

Hey, that's Vondrack digging in the Pyramid, I recognize him!So the gossip is true, the Pyramids were created to serve as his tomb.
Btw, this turn delay thing seems to be contagious. Now ND, the team right next to GS, has caught it, too.

Didn't Vox enslave the last Luxian worker? We were hoping to free him soon

Well, that might be hard to do - the worker in question has since been put to good use for "The One."![]()
