      I must defer until Monday, so Old'n'Slow should take the helm.

        11 extra work hours so far this week (above my normal 50). If this keeps up (which I wouldn't mind ) I won't be in on this one.

          Pft! No Gits, and no Straybow... is this still technically a succession game?

          Old'n'slow, jump in if you like... otherwise we will await the return of the Rabbit...

            -3000 we are #1 in nine categories (6th in Pop, but what the hey?) Meanwhile we have a few units out wandering, so we move them along.

            -2950 -- Hut = 50g

            -2900 -- Switch the building to Barracks (only white choice) hut = horse (supported)

            (put the second citizen in the water for SOME science)

            -2650 -- Discover CB, opt for Code

            -2500 -- Hut = WC (yes we'll risk the off techs -- we're looking for a Nomad; once we get one, we'll want to rush him back to develop property)

            -2400 -- Hut = Legion; Hut = Horse (both supported; probably all the hut units will be supported this close to home)

            -2300 -- Hut = Barb (just a horse -- we smack him & our horse goes deep into the red zone)

            -2050 -- (We're #4 in happy) -- Hut = Legion; Hut = 50g

            -2000 -- We're 5th in Pop. Have two size two cities, 12 units, and many, many great city sites.

              Next player may want to switch those barracks to temples -- but since all of the shields are spoken for, it may not be a big deal in the short run.

                OK STYOM ... count me in!

                It's been a busy time recently and my civ time has been devoted to Rather Late Landing Games

                Leo's seems important for NON Settlers to upgrade.

                  SG(2), glad you could make it

                  There's a window of opportunity for you to play, since Jrabbit is AWoL until Monday. Jump in if you like.

                  I would say Leos is a priority for sure - but before that, Map Making, so that our explorers can pop those nomad-and-tribe friendly huts on other continents

                  And let's hope that our pack of NON units finds some AI cities to pillage, if they don't find any nomads.

                    Writing should be a priority as well. If we can't find nomads, we can buy someone else's

                      Usually cheaper to buy the city with the settler in an adjacent square

                      Will play Sunday.

                        [robust criticism]Yuk! - what an awful capital - built on a forest so no trade arrow is gained from the central tile. Notes that we have chosen not to build the Palace on the four special site at 164,12 and have both cities out of reach of the available whales. In Despotism Whales must be used to speed the progress to Monarchy.[/robust criticism]

                        2000 - Change Barracks production in both cities to Temples and disband some Warriors to ease shield support.
                        1950 Code of Laws; Freaky Finds builds Temple
                        1900 Hut sighted.
                        1850 Hut 100 Gold but not a Nomad
                        1800 Hut Advanced Tribe - Rhodes
                        1650 Hut - Barb
                        1550 Hut - Nomad
                        1500 Hut - Writing a good tech to have but puts the quest for Monarchy further away.
                        1400 Nomad founds Free Parking
                        1350 Pop 100,000; Hut - Nomad
                        1300 Freaky Finds builds Library - desperate to speed research for Monarchy; Cul-de-Sac founded.
                        1200 Rhodes builds Temple
                        1150 Monarchy; Boring Bastard builds Temple
                        1050 Revolution to Monarchy; Hut - Barbs

                        Notes for next player
                        Without the option to produce settlers the usual pattern for city build orders is very different. Because of this I chose more white goods than normal, sometimes using Temples for city happiness over martial law because of a chronic shield support situation in Despotism - aggrevated by units from huts.
                        Map Making is the next research target which could mean that some of the current build orders become Triremes.
                        Population 140,000
                        Treasury 107 gold

                          Looks good, (2). 3 more cities! This is starting to look like ICS... a strange ICS, without settlers

                          Jrabbit... you're on, following SG(2).

                            Nice job with the huts SG (2) -- I popped a bunch, but none were the favored kinds...

                              I like the huts with the crucnhy exterior but soft and juicy on the inside

                                Tell me whether it's OK.
