Fine with me if you insist because you're just shooting yourself in the foot. There's some nice juicy cities you can grab and I can't (damnit). At most I can get 1 or 2 before the ai garrisons. That leaves 8 or 9 up for grabs, most of which are out of my reach garrisoned or not. There's one in particular I don't want you to get. If we go back to trev's save I'll probably get more than you and I might even get that one. Fine with me

I'm happy to play from my save as well, which gives us all the chance to clean up his civ quickly. Rather perversely it probably leads to a fairly even split of Trev's cities between the 3 of us. But we'll all need to move fast and make smart moves.

I love these situations, the stress, the pressure

I'm not looking for advantage here. I just want it to be normal civ, not artificial. I think a sub is actually preferable because Trev's civ should be played out properly under ideal circumstances, although I do understand his position. Anyway, he might decide to play on yet...

The barbs are within one move of a city, so presumably they will take that one, that will be number 7 (at least) the barbs destroyed or captured from me, which is about the same quantity Horse has achieved so far I think. I have never played any game where the barbs have so consistently attacked the cities I have founded before, and it just compounded the effects of horses attacks, particularly seeing I had lost 20% of my military units including all offensive units to the barbs in the turns preceding Horses initial attacks and 3 islands cities to the barbs immediately following Horses attacks.

I thought you were better than that Trev...

Mind you, with me being so impregnable, finbar is currently easy pickings for Horses mighty armies...

I just love the way this game takes deity out of his comfort zone. He'd do or say anything to avoid my troops ****ting on his Presidential portrait.

I can play for a while tonight, is anyone else going to be around?

Horse, can you pls post your save of that game before Trev disbanded units = your 1690AD auto save I reckon.

[Alexander's Horse]

LOL

who's ducking now...

*he who mentions it first must think it*

[Alexander's Horse]

Whatever.

I don't think there is any good reason why we shouldn't just play on from where trev retired. This isn't one of those diplo games you love so much, so subs and saves don't come into it. All that is really about is trying to rewrite the play history and tie down my army for a few turns.

Trev was entitled to do it his way and I think he did it with some style, so more power to him. He's done us a favour by setting up a very interesting situation which I'm rather surprised you don't seem to want to play out, being the best Australian civ player and all that.

Games like this don't come along every day. From an inauspicious start its turned into something potentially quite special imo. So stop faffing around and get with the program. Lets have some fun with it.

[deity]

er, you suggested the use of your save before I said anything. I asked for it be posted.

Horse's flapping around all over the place!
