The Australian Civ Group: the Hydey where are you? Memorial thread

[finbar]

No backyard. Not even a back door. The concepts of back doors and backyards didn't exist in the 15th century. We have a front courtyard.

It's very sleepy and very quiet. But this arvo we heard our first neighbourhood dispute. People across the street going at the people next door to us. Wish my Italian was good enough to understand what it was about. Lots of shouting and fist-shaking. Husbands and wives all in together. Only in Italy.

we're getting some civ in, hydey played friday, he knew his old Dad would need a hand with you gone

there's new regular, atomant, I think you'll like him

[deity]

Yeah, the Ant is good value. Very funny guy

Anyone around this arvo?

Ant and I are here.

[Alexander's Horse]

anyone got a link to the list of odeo years - my list is getting a bit ragged

[trev]

It appears that Ant is being coached on the sidelines by Horse 'Attack Trev, Attack Trev' is the cry he has heard and acted on. But I have learnt and am not so defenseless this time. A few early losses due to the surprise of the attack, but my civ has expanded from 24 cities to 35 cities despite the early loss of 4 cities.
Despite the relentless assault my civ is progressing nicely and increasing its economic, technological and military strength steadily. The surprises assault will not cost me victory this time, and all atackers in future should note that I never make peace with those who attack me, NEVER

You forgot the evil laugh (muhahaha) I guess you don't like the wool carpet being pulled over your eyes. And with all due respect to the D man, he didn't ask me to attack, I was feeling bored, and those two cities I CAPTURED and the three I razed to the ground, are enough to keep me amused....

[atomant]

still no hard feelings.... i did give you fair warning afterall.... still next game things may be different.

LOL

Trev doesn't mean me! He means the real sidelines... HORSE OF COURSE!

Great 3 way guys.

It seems atomant made some straight forward strategic decisions by capturing Trev's cities (mostly tribes I think?) that were within Ant's geographic borders.

It'll be interesting to see how this pans out. As it is Trev has a huge lead and The fair-minded Deitians watch keenly...

To Consul Trevriffic, Shah Ant (A.D. 440): this is a good map for a 3 way
To Consul Trevriffic, Shah Ant (A.D. 540): war report pls!

From Shah Ant (A.D. 680): My business partners thought that the cost benefit analysis on getting a longer carpet not worth the expense. Hence the nice hallway runner we are sitting on is perfect for present requirements. Feel free to have a look.

I've got a feeling that everyone will be quite OK about these posts and it gives finbar a preview into the workings of an ant...

[Alexander's Horse]

er for the record I haven't encouraged anyone to attack anyone but its nice to know how large I loom in your thinking even when I'm not playing
