No, but it seems that Los Alamos will sell a hard drive or two to the Chinese for Campaign funds.

Ribannah, you might then be interested in the Apolyton World Chess Championship … See this thread : http://apolyton.net/forums/Forum22/H...tml?date=03:19
Yes, I did see the sacrifices sometimes …
For the given techs, it sure helped against the 2.42 team.

I'm still around. Sorry for the delay. If I can't get to it tonight, I'll notify you all to pass me.

I'm having trouble finding time for this game amongst the "honey do" lists at home. Please forgive me but could Julius take over? I'll send it to him momentarily. Again, sorry.

We of course keep on building the Structurals and keep the Romans diplo at bay. 1902 We bribe Roman Engineer (none). 1903 We bribe Roman Howitzer (none too). 1907 we launch (as predicted by Ribannah). Arrival 1922. 1907 too, we bribe Roman Helicopter (none). 1908 we bribe 2 Roman Diplos. Transport build in hope of transfering some spy to other continent for sabotage duty. Hmm, Chinese and Egyptians are building quite fast ! S*** we are sneak attacked by Egyptians. Goodbye to any sabotage plan. We build 3 mech infantry in a row. 1912 2 Roman spies manage to break our 1st line of defense. We have to revolt to kill them and declare war on the Romans. We felt compelled to do so, as no civ had discovered superconductors yet. S*** again ! in 1913 the Romans discover superconductors by themselves. 1915 we’re again a democracy. We give 1000 gold to the Romans and are again at peace. 1917 nobody has launched. We’ve won ! We’ve kept on building military units, just in case. 1918 build mass transit. 1919 build nuclear plant. Luxuries to 100% to maximize score. 1920 Japanese launch a 5 years spaceship. Too late ! 1921 we’re sneak attacked by the Romans. Too late, too ! we defend well …
1922 We have won ! Final score 37%

Game sent to Paul for the archives. It was quite fun to play. Let’s see if team 2.42 can improve on our result.

I'll send it to you when I get home. Or you can go here and download the zip with all the 2.42 saves. I updated it yesterday, so it should contain Tom's 1500 AD save.
