Gigamap OCC succession game

[Paul]

I updated the schedule to reflect the fact that you and kcbob only played 20 turns. SG[1] will now play until 300 AD. I also updated the website. I still haven't received 1500 BC and 750 BC saves, so I would appreciate if someone could mail them to me.

Paul, I've sent you the 750bc that I received from Kcbob. Great job with the site !

I got the 1500 BC save from kcbob, but not the 750 BC save from Julius. There have been some problems with the mailserver, so maybe you could try to send it to paulvandenbelt@planet.nl or paulvdbelt@hetnet.nl.

[Smash]

I sent the 1500bc save also.It didn't come back so I guess someone is either playing or wondering if I sent a virus.Its out there somewhere.

Paul, I've sent the 750bc at your 3 e-mail adresses. I hope it works this time.

I too took twenty turns - in my case because my last turn was a hard act to follow ...

Low down

We are doing ok.Refrigeration was 2 turns away but we had no Explosives.Then again there wasn’t that many squares to work.Settlers were preworked for farming a couple squares quicker.
Caravans were enroute to Asia and the New (unknown) World.Along with some explorers.Must have been a major annoyance having units sent home from Europe and the Mid East.Looks like we were just about to venture into darkest Africa too


United States of the Japanese?

740-Refrigeration-
*trade China Refrigeration for Economics-PAY 50 gold-dirty rats..oh well it was only 50 or no way
*gold caravn arrives in Tsingtao 142
*science to 90% to maintain 2 turns
*2 scientists can become taxman
*Russians cancel alliance-darn MGE
760-stock exchange opened
*Conscription,Leadership and Atomic Theory offered.Choose Conscription
780-Conscription
*hut-50 gold

*science 100% and 1 scientist needed -2 gold deficit
840-China develops Railroad-trade for Conscription.Then they cancel alliance..nice-2 units sent home
*hut 50 gold

*contact Sioux-they demand 150 of 175 treasury-WAR-nice
880-Leadership-
*start “we love days” size 21
900-Russians declare war
940-Industrialization
end “we love” size 24-sell sewer
*dam it.Just noticed 1 settler is supported.Should have upgraded to engineer first
*our horseman in America is forced to attack a Sioux horseman on plains.We lose of course @#$%-Caravans can’t safely cross land.Didn’t have them come this far to be killed.I will try to sail around to the east coast.Gonna take forever.
980-The Corporation
*can’t manage 2 turns now.Leary of gifting.China is building Darwin’s
1000-sell aquaduct-finally decided to go it with 1 engineer and 2 settlers
1020-having to disband units-real race for Darwin’s.China had allready been building a wonder when they switched to Darwin’s
1040-Refining

*cannon kills “core” of barbs.10 units KIA
1180-Machine Tools
*take workers off mines and hire scientists
1200-Going ok.2 turns is going to be tough until Computers.Traveler’s reports are telling of a somewhat advanced AI.China is very close with several coastal cities.I expect some kind of effort from them eventually......

My mailserver problems also seem to be solved. I just received a bunch of saves that you guys sent to me over the weekend. Better late than never.
