Well my football team won 4-0 away ...


... but I guess that's not the sort of odd happening that you're interested in.

Do you aprove of my 'new look' log?
Comments welcome ...

Stu

[Bloody Monk]

Not sure what is new about the log, but the layout , volume of detail , and content are all quite nice. Especially the content.

Great set of turns, Stu!!

Observations from the edge...

Shakespeare's Theatre is coming soon to continue the growth of Carthage...one hopes.

Why are valuable units put to sleep?? Whoever did that should rethink their choices. Sleep means forget. Boats should not be on forget.

Makes Rep or Dem even more valuable...

Madrid builds Oracle, Germans abandon

We missed Oracle again?

0500 (6) Damn! just spotted a sleeping Trireme in Rusicade - mea culpa, mea maxima culpa! .

What about that pile of sleeping caravans?

Sneak attack by Babylonians, our Trireme with precious Caravan survives!

A sneak attack by Babylon? Will Wonders never cease? Must be MGE...

0560 (9) Copernicus' Observatory in Carthage, Romans abandon.

You had me worried there...

Noble Settler reveals silk for Cartenna. (Note for LaFayette - HutFinder not used)

Knew it was there, but Settlers more valuable colonizing nearby new continents...

Regret no stock of 'vans for Wonder production.

What's next - Shakes? Magellans?

Impressive: 5 techs in 10 turns? Oh, wait: three from Huts or AI...

0580 (10) 64g, 1.1.8, 277b 4t/a

I like it - looks a bit like mine. I don't do slider settings, but I can see the value in Succession Games. You calculating the beakers yourself, or using SlowThinkers utility?

Suggestion: add a "*" next to the Oedo turns. Got the idea from someone at CFC.

Yes - imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.
Neither - look at F5.

Stu, your new log is efficient and makes me adjust my thinking to extract all the meaning. And it's soulless. So I'm not a fan. But whatever -- as long as the games progress.

I'll be sticking with my rambling, natural-language style, which seems to expose my oft-flawed thinking process and thereby encourage RCC.

[Bloody Monk]

without soul??

What's up with that??

Monk

[Scouse Gits]

Mayhap more narative required ...

Just tweaking him, BM. And he took my meaning precisely...
