Nice summary and fun to see the "succession order"!

Carolus

[Sparrowhawk]

Yep, interesting to see who has been around a while, though the list is a little misleading as 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.

[Carolus Rex]

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?

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,

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

[Carolus Rex]

Ah!

I say, good show old chap (en espérant que ça marchait)!

Carolus

[Carolus Rex]

... but nobody has downloaded the game...

At long last !

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 ).

[La Fayette]

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)
