D/L complete. Email of .zip en route to rabbit hutch.

Tuesday -- inspection survey, planning. Will be lucky if I have time to do any more than that.

Quick-as-a-bunny, Diplomats are rushed in Kaupang and Yakutsk.

-Jrabbit strongly approves STYOM's growing lagomorphic tendencies.

Thought you'd like that.

Sadly, I fear that acquiring the ability to build Diplos was my only meaningful accomplishment

You also took Athens, Bangalore, Madras, and Sparta, and founded 2 new cities.

Looking forward to hijacking Magellan's Expedition in Bombay... Thanks for the setup.

I also observe your notes on Copernicus in Madrid. It's SO nice that WoWs are never harmed in the sacking of cities (while other infrastructure seemingly evaporates).

@ -Jrabbit, Syrah indeed!

Well, bribing cities (Bangalore, Madras) doesn't count.

Still, I wasn't about to drive the elephant closer to extinction by bashing them to bits against walled, rivered Archers

I believe that Madrid also has Colossus... funny how the AI always seems to build the cumulative SSC city wonders in different cities so as to lessen their value - except in this game, when we can't use the SSC!

edit: rivered.

Of course they count! You added to our empire, and we'll need every one of those shields and arrows!

Can the AI read and understand the name of this thread????

Canon of behavior of Civ2 code always subject to revision. I wonder how much of it was intentional and how much resulted from unintended effects of some other function?

Not to get too far off topic on this one - but, is it possible that it showed up as RR track instead of irrigation because the city that appeared on Japanese maps is a Spanish city, invisible to the Japanese? As opposed to a Japanese city on Japanese maps (which has always shown as irrigation)?

Hopefully one of us will remember to check that later in the game when we have overrun everyone

If only that were true

With an AI that smart... we wouldn't need all these restrictions to make the game playable!

As long as it doesn't learn how to save and reload we're safe.

So what?
Those Indians were really aggressive and needed some caning. No gentleman should say a word against such a pedagogical attitude

Czar -Jrabbit's savegame

OK, here it is. Not quite what I had in mind, but no major disasters, either.

Bombay seems to be preserving itself by refusing to complete Magellan's. Very frustrating. I took our ellies off the forest tiles to encourage their proper use. Meantime, found and took Delhi.

Went for trade, not war, with the spanish. As a result, we have Bridge building!

Greeks are on the run.

Mostly quiet on the Japanese front.

Oh, and I have not asked for tribute in the current turn, so whoever is next may wish to play that card before hitting enter.

full details to come. First, I sleep...

Downloaded. I don't expect to have much time to play before Monday, so I ask for the patience of my fellow rulers.
