Since it's early in the game and we only have 7 cities to manage, this shouldn't take long. (Looks like ppl are taking about 8-10 turns?) I should be able to play and post between work/dinner and my weekly sojourn to Ming's place.

Figure about 0100 or so (GMT) tonight, Straybow.

I downloaded the zip file and extracted it, I then had to manually change it to a .sav file to play but it worked fine.

Now where the hell is Straybow?

Thanks for the PM. Wasn't exactly a Party—a wedding, a gathering of old friends afterwards, etc. Plus Fridays and Mondays I work 2 jobs.

Will start scouting canal locations ASAP.

[Straybow]

Sorry, NetZIP 6.51 can't handle any of the zipped files posted in this thread. Somebody help?

I did check out the .sav files through b850 for proper canal management.
Keinkoloss should've been built one tile NE. Now we'll have to move our non-Lighthoused, non-Magellaned ships the long way 'round.

[Scouse Gits]

OK guys, we have a problem --

-Jrabbit your file is NOT a valid zip file - could you send it unzipped? It would also help if you simplified the file name and avoided characters like '.' & '/' which can cause us poor DOS based users some problems.

I'll post in various formats tonight. Later, you can tell me what works for you.

BTW, I'll be out of town Friday 10/4, returning Wed 10/9. Will have my laptop with me, but that's NT4 (work machine), so I'll have Web access but no Civ access .

[Hydey]

I got it to work

Try this , I got the strange -Jrabbit zip file to work so I will post the file in .sav format so the game can move on.
