as already indicated a few weeks ago, i have been studying the the CFA exam. now the time is here...
so i won't be able to play any turns within the next 24 hours, nor was i able to play in the last 24 hours.

after this (and some sleep) i should be back full of energy

[g_storrow]

Whenever you have time.

nothing much happened this turn again except pillaging and bombards.

not much left to pillage along the borders so i had to focus on bombarding... which got one of my fighters pretty bashed up but i dealt out a few strikes...

[g_storrow]

Why we cant all be friends?

friends are here to help... isn't that what i'm doing? liberating your people from the cruel oppression

question: i actually happiness and health yet a problem? i have bombed away nearly every of those resources and you will probably be also suffering under a bit of war weariness...
i still do not understand civ4's WW functionality...

A little problem with happiness a little 1 or 2 citizens from no more resources but mainly as they don't want to be drafted for some reason. It is more starvation I am suffering from as the food resources 5 or 6 a square make such a diffrerence.

[sabrewolf]

interesting... i though happiness would be the bigger killer. but actually it makes sence: unhealthiness is just -1 food, while excess unhappiness removes a whole person, so unless he's a specialist, he won't produce food.

anyhow, i'm pleased to see that my bombardments had such a huge impact on your GNP and productivity! you dropped from 250 to 100 while just losing 2 of around 12 cities.

we can use this tactic in a future war against another human player, though i hope you won't use it against me in industrial.

[g_storrow]

I will make sure I do.

No it is more losing sheep or pig or corn or the fish stuff.

[sabrewolf]

yeah, that's another thing which helped me: you only had 2 fish or so and all clams in one area... quite convenient for my destroyers

the other good thing for me is that bay area. my bombers can reach virtually any tile from there or from "outside". you could probably do the same in the talisker-bay, but the icy waters would make it more inconvenient to navigate.

the only things you were lucky with is that medina was placed by saladin in a non-coastal tile. any human player would have gone coastal and i would have picked it like elephantine and alexandria.
mecca was reachable, but my transports turned around when they saw your defensive force there!
