Just wanted to bump this topic back to the top with the results of our third round game. Crustacian's schedule did not allow him to play. We had a three player game with Arii, Markus, and myself. Markus got off to a slow start, evidently having bad luck with huts and corruption, so he trailed behind Arii and myself the entire game. Arii and I were running neck and neck demographically and on the power graph, but Arii had just finished a super science city with Colossus, CopOb, and Newton's in Pisae, and threatened to run away from us in the tech race. I sent a fleet of five triremes across 27 hexes of ocean to attack the city of Pisae in 1040A.D. Not only did Pisae fall, but the capital of Rome and the city of Veii were left undefended and they also were overrun in the same turn. Arii lost HG and JSB along with all the super science city wonders and capitulated in 1060A.D. It was a close fought game that Arii could have easily won had he completed his city walls in Pisae one turn earlier. We now wait for the completion of all the other 3rd round games, and the start of the 4th round.

Nap - Yikes! Major congratulations are in order. I'm a bit stunned the game is over so fast (though I imagine Markus and Ari are moreso).
That was quite a gamble you took, building and dedicating such a substantial fleet to such a long-range conquest. Did you have knowledge of what defences you would find when you got there? Just goes to show that you can never count on *anything* playing MP against skilled players!
BTW, I need to know who came in second...
