what happened

[Stefan Härtel]

I got a job in Hamburg from one day to the other (Zivildienst, civil service), and just a few days afterwards, I went on holiday. The job started the day after I returned, so I didn't have the chance to tell you guys.
I just noticed I forgot to take my Civ2 CD with me, so I won't be able to play till 27th September

A first taste

A caravan from Assyria found its way to Ancyra. We see what great prosperity comes from such labors. Our envoys wander in foreign lands, seeking trading partners for fine timbers and other wondrous goods of the motherland.

[SlowThinker]

First I should post happenings of year 2320:
A group of farmers (founded lately forsaken in the desert) was escorted by
a troop of skirmiskers. Suddenly a group of red cannibals appeared, evidently with a good appetite. But our brave skirmishers defeated them, although many soldiers were injured severely.

bab 2910

We are preparing colonization of a small island that we named Ceylon.

[germanos]

The banner of King Harsu is now flying on the island of Iatana (the ancient Assyrian name for Cyprus). A settlement was build, immigrants ferried over with plenty supplies and materials to begin building a magnificent harbour. Soon the islanders will be able to gather much needed fish, and population will boom.


Assyria will welcome Hittite traders, and we send word to King Straybow II that timber from his lands are wanted in certain cities in our realm.

Harsu, in the 60th year of his reign, has picked his heir. By tradition, a grandson will take his seat after the Gods have taken our King among their midst. Didanu, prince of Assyria, has taken residence within the walls of the Inner Palace where he will receive his final teachings.

Game speed

Concerning the game speed I suggest a following procedure:

After one 72 hour period ends, the next one starts to tick. It is on responsibility of next player if he wants to wait more or not. Anyway his 72-hour limit goes.
If you have problems the limit may be extented but only if you notify in advance.
Please after your turn notify next player by e-mail or PM immediately.
