You know it's going to be a long night when.............

[rah]

For the fun side of the game.

....when you have two huts on your opening screen and you get pottery and masonry.

[rah]

....when Makeo finds your capital early in the game and it's near an ocean.

[Ming]

When you have a choice of moving two ways at the beginning, and you choose the way that hits a dead end with nothing in sight

[rah]

Three turns into the game, you've just place your cap, and your second settler meets one of markus's chariots.

Wouldn't that be when you know its going to be a short night?

[Ming]

[Makeo]

When you find Rahs capital early.

[ColdWizard]

...when you have ColdWizard-calibre skillz...

(unless you have masochistic tendencies)

[Ming]

Gee... a coldwizard sighting... kool

You know it's going to be a long night when your starting position is all plains and hills, there are no huts, no specials, and no rivers... And everybody is boasting about how they got free units from huts

[rah]

....when the turns are taking 3-5 minutes and your not even at 3500 b.c. yet.

oh that just means everyones toasty

[rah]

We're all usually a bit toasty
But it could be because ming's in the game and is napping between turns.

[Ming]

I usually don't pass out that early in the game

[Zylka]

You're not into properly managing a game at all; but you join for the sake of playing.

[Zylka]

Clean.. *sigh*
