Well I'll be there - I cannot speak for Mr Permanent Erec....

[iadkins]

I think I'll be OK for tonight. Check in around 8:30pm Aussie EDT, Sat night here.
------
Us of the great 'yo ho ho hydey ho' alliance have made great advances and equalised the availability of techs for all the world.
However the monstrous finbar/makeo alliance remains all powerfull despite some losses of cities. We must be vigilant in the face of such strength.

We might be big, but we've been utterly peaceful. Others have been less so. Sadly.

Yes, 'utterly peaceful' until you got howies
We slowed the pace there!

[Makeo]

I thought this was a no howitzer game

[finbar]

It is. He's forgotten. So the fact remains that we might be the biggest, but we're peaceful. We didn't start a war.

ahhh, this game is great fun. Its great to be finally playing with a real warmonger. Someone who's prepared to take the reputation hit and just attack a peaceful civ. Great stuff. Your a credit to real warmongers everywhere deity. good on ya

[finbar]

Hang about! He attacked two peaceful civs!

Apart from that, I couldn't agree more.

The only peaceful civ that has been attacked without cause is the Greeks . Ruthlessly attacked by warmongering Aztecs. BOO HISS BOO

[iadkins]

This is not the NO-Howitzer game! That's the game with Pinky.

NEWS FLASH

The beloved leader of the Horse Empire becomes catatonic with boredom in the big aussie game, which manages only 4 turns in 4 hours. Physicians despair. Horse considers resigning from the game for health reasons.

Ha Ha! This is rich. If our ages were reversed I'd call you my mentor
YOU, with the classic war-mongering rep, attacked me in most of our early games (GREAT FUN BTW) which taught me heaps of nasty stuff, you did

I'm basically a very peaceful player but there is going to be the odd planet where THE DEITY feels other pseudo-peaceful civs are being unfair. On this planet the finbar/makeo alliance were racing away with a huge lead in everything, sharing nothing

finbar's annoying persistence that we could find more land if we looked for it is not exactly sensible. I don't like disparate empires colonising the world, as you do. I like a geographically clusterd civ.
Onion Isle should never have been colonised by the Zulus. It is DEITIAN territory despite earlier suggestions that you could settle there! You refused my earlier requests to allow us to share it.
You, Costello (finbar), can either cede Onion Isle to THE DEITIANS in return for peace or face its imminent destruction (and loss of techs).
Makeo's demands for return of all his lost territory is absurd. The former Sioux lands he colonised are now owned by the 'yo ho ho hydey-ho' alliance. My proposal is that we keep all territory north of the Sioux capital and no DEITIAN ships will venture south of that latitude. No Aztec or Zulu ship is to come within 6 squares of our territory either.
I only offer this to aid Horses health problem
If it was just the 2 warring parties I would not be offerring this, so take advantage of THE DEITY's consideration of others

Translation: I'm a warmonger when I feel the urge.

The finbar/Makeo alliance raced away with a huge lead in everything because it explored and researched properly. In this case, war was started because the DEITY/Hydey alliance were hopelessly inefficient in the exploration and research departments. What's more, since when, in a competitive game, are techs shared around? Traded, perhaps, if the opposition has something to trade. In this case, they didn't. Thus they started a war.

DEITY doesn't like disparate empires? Fair enough, a DEITY idiosyncracy. So he launches unproved attacks on a Civ who had the nouse to explore, find and colonise an island that lay in uncharted waters. The Zulus found the island and colonised it before the DEITIANS stumbled across it.

Get stuffed. Lose techs? You've already thieved most of our techs anyway. Having failed to research them yourself.

Horse's health problem would be better served by addressing the time it's taking for turns.

Each to his own style of course.

If the finbar/makeo alliance chooses to use its resources to concentrate on exploration/colonisation and tech research and only defend with antiquated units then you are trying to get something for free.

In a real world situation, where other civs CHOOSE to build smaller but tighter and well defended civs, it is inevitable that weakly defended highly advanced civs are vulnerable, having put ALL their eggs in one basket

You guys are only mad cos you took a risk!
You are now paying the penalty for that risk. You said, finbar, you and makeo were trading through the roof. I know you were maxing out science rates, for sure, getting science bonuses. makeo loves this. I knew from previous life times that he does this whilst defending with warriors and archers and then quickly moving into armour and howies as soon as you get the techs.

My timing was critical. You'd have howies by now the way your techs were going, then we would have seen who was the war monger!

makeo's reputation precedes him AND you are allied to him, finbar.

YOUR CHOICE.

AS you know I've rarely attacked first and even in this game I remain spotless
Your stupid Foreign Advisor didn't tell you that your civ had declared war on ME! How can I be responsible for that and in kings chat you just said you hadn't declared war on hydey. Your Government is very confused!
What was I to believe?
