I'm sure he found it funny too.
as much as I think Spike feels bad about it.

[War4ever]

nay, Geofelt has been around a long time.... i am sure has a good sense of humour

[DrSpike]

Now I feel bad. It was a joke dammit!

[Straybow]

It was funny, but it was still cold.

I only learned last year about roading trade specials like Gold to get an extra arrow...

[rah]

Well, it was funny.
Yes, we all have our own moments,
but nothing tops the guy that tried to kill the buffalo special.

[DrSpike]

Well you laughed.

Geofelt: hope you saw the funny side.........I'm sure we've all got more embarrassing stories.

[rah]

Even a j/k and a doesn't soften that one up enough.

[DrSpike]

Not really, with a /jk and a smiley. Since Geofelt did not post after I hope he didn't agree with you.

[Straybow]

Ouch! That was cold!

[DrSpike]

But then why listen to the only man ever to get his capital bribed by the AI in the history of civ. /jk

At deity, raging hordes, I research horseback riding first. After a warior and a settler, the city builds a horseman for barb defense and to quiet unrest. Any barb can usually be dispatched by the horse unless they are on a mountain. I keep the horse in the city, and let the warrior go exploring. The mobility of a horse lets me reinforce a city nearby quickly. Also, a horse is cheaper to rush than a dip.
