Though it seems that with the 20-15 turns you may want to consider closeing the doors, in which case no hard feelings.

Hello, Zedd. Hope you're well.

Don't know if the lord of the manor feels there's still room, but it's good to see you active again. Are you hanging at the Demo Game, too?

You're in There's still room!

@Old n Slow - I thought that 1-nomad-per-continent was the rule, too. I'm inclined to go with samson's analysis, though, since he appears to have done a lot of testing. Look up the thread, if you haven't seen it... it's quite good. Explains why we always seem to get stuck with WarCode from those early huts, too.

Thinking realisti pessimistically, I can't play 'til Fri, if someone wants to jump in real quick, go ahead.(Real quick, mind you)

You Bet I gave up the second ful time job and have an "inprogress" PC that I'm putting together, but it runs well enough to play Civ

50 B.C.
--Change Coventry to temple from elphant.
--We are running a deficet of 2g/t, but changing taxes drops science rate to 36 turns-Demo game-like numbers! However, since there is no currency, we can't do anything-not that it would help anyway, since corruption destroys any extra trade.
25
--NoWhales Elephant->temple
--some rushing and switching of workers
--Indians nearly complete LH
A.D. 1
--High council argues with eachother
--Advanced tribe of Highway Robbery
--Boring Bastard switch to LH, rush for 12g
--Indians abandon LH
20
--Barb horse attacks FF and dies, dip chases king
--BB builds LH->dip
--Rhodes switch to HG
40
--Chinese nearly finish HG
60
--Barb king disbands in terror of our mighty diplomat!
--What to do with Rhodes? We can't rush HG, the only other wonder is GL...soooo...switch to CH.
--French have nearly comleted HG
--Chinese finish HG
--Zulus change from HG to Oracle
--French change from HG to GW
80
--Chariot takes hut...NOMAD!!!
He gets sent back home to do some roadwork for much-needed trade.
100
--Coventry goes into disorder -hire an elvis-rush temple
120
--Highway Robbery goes into disorder-elvis will hold them off until the warrior is done.
--Coventry builds temple(still needs 1 elvis to keep out of disorder, but with waste & corruption, another worker could, at the best, raise food)->warrior
--NOTE TO SELF: CHECK CITIES TO PREVENT DISORDER!!!
140
--Discover Currency-pick trade
160
--Rhodes courthouse->market
Cul-de-sac grows-DOES NOT go into disorder, instead Xins.
180
--
200
--Change tax to 50/50 to get out of debt
--NoWhales temple->dip
220
--Change Cul-De-Sac from market to CH-not that it'll get done anytime soon...
--Spanish nearly finish GW
240
--Frozen warrior steps into warm-looking hut, is greeted by 3 barb horses, trapping him against the black void of the pole.....
And on that happy note, here is the (so far) roadless save. The dips are all headed towards Rhodes, to build... I'm sure someone will give them a suitable job. We have much corruption, hopefully the CH's will take care of that, and then markets will actually be worth the effort. Sorry about missing HG-I saw a way to get the LH, but didn't know the Chinese were so close...

Hey, it's your turn!


Let's give SCG until Wednesday to respond, I haven't seen him around lately. Otherwise, La Fayette is up.

[Zedd]

Looks like its your turn La Fayette

[SCG]

[Zedd]

I just got word that we are going to have "corporat Cutbacks", looks like should have kept the other FT job. Well this means I will be spending the next few days on Monster or some such nonsense so please remove me from the list. (having never even played )

[La Fayette]

Well, good luck to you, Zedd!
I play tomorrow.

[-Jrabbit]

Hang in there, Zedd! Remember, someone has to survivie. Best of luck!

I'd wish La Fayette luck, too, but he doesn't need it...
