More players welcome

Well, if my d/l problems are over -- and I believe they are -- I'm in.

But ya gotta post the saves (as least those I'm to use) as .ZIP files.
Please post the next save in this manner so I'll know on an apples-to-apples basis.

I hope you don't mind if the oldfarts give advice:

If SG[1] slows down research in order to discover Monarchy in 2050BC, it is because of the so-called oedo year. IMO you shouldn't have increased research and switched to Monarchy in 2150BC, because this means losing alot compared to the solution he suggested.

Anyway, here is what happened later:

1250BC: Discover Mysticism, research Trade
Keinkoloss founded
925BC: Sansoracle and Marcono founded
900BC: Discover Trade, research Mapmaking
875BC: Antigizeh founded
850BC: Byemike founded

(Hydey is next )

Me, too!

Still have some problems to find some spare time to play.
And again MGE seems to be out of reach (don't have time to d/load, I know, I'm lazy )
Admiring the progress of the Academy... poor AI.

Just one thought. What if an AI wonder city is conquered? Will it be disbanded?

...again, poor AI

You may not capture a city with an active wonder.

Why can a Mac user not download a .sav file??????
Seems fairly bizarre to me ....

Not comp-savvy enoung to have all the details, SG. You are, of course, correct in asserting that this whole d/l situation is a bit surreal. My d/lattempt at home just failed -- machine wants a plug-in in order to read the "specially formatted text" of the "document."

Next, I'll d/l on my work PC, email it to my home account, and attempt unzip. (Using the "ZipIt" shareware recommended to me on the Mac forum here.)

Recently, I got a PM from JCP (a Mac guy) informing me that this is actually quite simple with the right software. Can't remember the name of the pgm, but looks like it's worth checking out.

Obviously, if I can't get this fixed by the time Hydey is done, just bypass me this round. (sigh)

better late than never

sorry this took a while but I have been ill, seems I played like a sick man too

Barb Archer kills defending warrior L

650 BC One wonders builds hides caravan
Not the gardens builds beads caravan
Sansoracle destroyed by barb archer L

600 BC Keinkoloss builds phalanx

I've done the d/l on my work PC and am emailing to my home account now.

Will attempt to open file tonight and either play or bow out.
Hope you're feeling better, Hydey.

IT WORKS!!!

Have the Hydey save, have downloaded, emailed from work to home, unzipped, opened sucessfully in Civ MGE (Mac), inspected briefly and saved.

Nice little island nation we've got. Looks like time to go explore a bit...

No time to play tonight (need to be @ work in 6 hrs, haven't slept quite yet). Will get to it ASAP.

Thanx all for your patience in waiting for me to screw up your game. I'll try not to disappoint.
