I've only this morn been able to reconnect! A fine summary of your reign, mon ami.

[Scouse Gits]

By the way - have you guys noticed that slaves are stolen not destroyed in this Scenario??

My friends,
I don't know anything about slaves yet, but here is what I can tell you:
I download the game and open it. What do I see?
My friends,
I see a barb king
(that's OK)
but what do I see nearby?
a pair of barb stealth bombers

Julius, my friend, I need your help (since I suppose that this is exactly the same problem as the one I had with the crusader's scenario: french version, ...I tried to solve it alone but didn't manage it)

[La Fayette]

Anyone willing to play now, PLEASE PLAY!
I shall play after Julius has switched the files to french.
Thank you very much, Julius (perhaps the best would be that you teach me what to do, so that I can do it myself next time).

Yes, that is the origin of the NON-slaves you inherited! We really should keep an eye out for them, to spare us the need of actually enslaving our own people. Maybe a horseman or two can roam the hinterlands in search of more...

[Julius Brenzaida]

LaFayette, the operation is underway
Here it is. Put the following files in your Civ2/scenario/hellensit directory and it should work fine.
The french version of MGE only gets .fre files, not .txt ones.
Enjoy playing

[Julius Brenzaida]

Better with the file attached
Do not hurry to play, I have the Invasion and the Crusaders to play too
Unless some else joins and plays before me

[Julius Brenzaida]

Really better with the file
Sorry, couldn't edit to put it on the former post

[Andemagne]

I could paly but I have test tomorrow (jep! on saturnday)
but after that I could, I'll post here before playing.
of course if anybody else hasn't taken the turn.

Andemagne, Marquis de Sodaq, Scouse Gits, Julius
Brenzaida, La Fayette. is this the line up for this
game at the moment? forgeting someone?
new players, feel free to join.

BTW Julius, you live in Switzerland?
I thought that you were Spaniard with
that site and everything.

[Scouse Gits]

Andemagne - Jay Bee is the Spaniard Julius is someone else (from Switzerland)

The SGs getting sloshed

[La Fayette]

Merci, Julius!
Ca marche!
(il faudra vraîment que tu m'apprennes comment faire ça tout seul)

Thanks to Julius the barb stealth bombers have turned to celt warriors. Therefore I can play NOW.

(La Fayette, ready to fight celt warriors and other bad guys)

uuupss!
names look so similar.

[La Fayette]

I suddenly remembered that 'Galeries Lafayette' are the biggest department store in Paris and decided to be mainly a peaceful trader .
Our power is 'moderate' and our economy remains weak (cash-flow of 20 gold in 244BC with taxes set at max 80%), so I mainly built caravans in order to speed up our research with one time bonuses and increase our treasury. Pella and Athinai are now close to size 12 and 3 new cities have been conquered on the western coast of the black sea.
The best I have done, apart from stealing a few techs so that we are now #1 in research, is acquiring the 'highways' tech (equivalent to RR in this game), and building the backbone of our transportation network.
The next ruler of our empire should therefore be able to send his fresh troops very quickly to the battlefield (which might well be the Greek cities north of the black sea - how does one spell 'Crimée' in English?).
Last (but not least) news: we should be able to discover 'Espionage' within 5 or 6 years from now .
