A Challange.

[arii]

Ha I didn't know I was fighting 3 people. I was wondering how markus built that many units and city walls that quickly. My ally did not contribute to my war effort. My plan was to initially attack his capitol but markus built a city wall 2 turn before my troops could get there.
Now that the war is over the roman are back in the growth biseness and we have almost caught up with the germans.
The world is now free of the egyptian technology theft. Unfortunately our people do not enjoy past happiness due to the expiration of the hanging garden.
We wish to establish trade relations with the germans for the benefit of our two civs. We only have 3 cities over size 10, but have many size 7-8 cities that are accepting a wide range of trade goods.
This is one of the few game that has some balance with 3 domination players and 2 others that are not doing bad. I'm having a lot of fun and am looking forward for the next session.

I was never informed of a war against the english. I assumed because finbar was reasearching so fast he was being left alone, as well i never saw 1 city change hands

Crustation gave me far more gold and support, and in exchange i gave you 5 or 6 techs that i had more then you at that point.

As for fighting the english, there are several problems, they are to far away to much sea to cross, and B how are crusaders going to kill rifflemen?

* Posted April 2nd re war with English when they attacked our Roman allies. As you say they are a long way away and were not an easy target with the techs at the time.

* I also gave much gold to Crusty, as well as you, from the time the Romans first attacked him!
Crusty gave me quite a few techs and you a few too, I appreciate that
After all, what are allies for!

Now that gold is not being shipped abroad by the cargo ship loads, we stand a chance to complete our defenses, and perhaps contribute something of worth to the scientific comunity.
The German Folk are not used to being allied
and a court appointed relationship counselor formerly assigned to matching up vets from barbarian wars who completed their tours of duty with retired but still dancing and quite lovely RBD's from Crustyhavn to help Crustacian understand the phsycological aspect of this new MP situation.

The pirate Finbar was sighted off our former eastern seaboard, and at his suggestion welcomed him and his jolly crew aboard for festivities in honor of the dicovery that there was no edge of the world after all...or so it seems so far as some of the older seamen are a bit sceptical and advise more explorations. They did mention that in "the good ol days" they would have undertook this adventure by ROWING not letting the wind do all the work, and uphill at that!! Both ways too mind you.

His Majesty The Deity on holidays in the southern beaches along Ireland Strande, declined all comment as to the purpose and length of his stay, but it was noted that a copy of Avalon Hills board game Civilization was out of stock in the local govt run gaming store. Grande Admiral Markus was rumered to have been seen in the area as well. BTW has anyone seen Professor Crustacian? hmmm most curious

A very nice embassy was constructed by the Romans in honor of Ariitea (a character in their ancient mythology) somewhere near our central communication center. Tho Crusty felt in his gut that it might be more appropriate to have it located in the capitol near the other foriegn embassies, he aquiesed to Roman argumentation, (unfortunately the Sublimator Crustacian's chief negotiator the 1st lady was not present or the argument would have went the other way) Hoping some day to purchase the cities originally founded upon our soil by the Roaman's The 1st ladies previous "unofficial" stand on the matter was "nuke the turkeys!" She understands now that neither do we have the tech, nor would people be able to live there afterwards and was thus SILENCED....and there was much rejoicing in the land.

This just in: a postcard from Crustacian in Ireland Strande advising all to carry on in his absence, and the gam.....uh all things are seeming to be fine there not to worry.

Bad session for me last night as I let 2 important wonders slip by when if I had made better decision I could have snatched 1. I decided to go for Hoover and was beaten to it the turn I completed it by the evil germans. My powergraph looks good even though I think that with those 2 new wonders the german and the egyptian are in the lead.
Friday I have familly visiting so I won't be able to play until later in the evening, so depending on what you guys want to do we can play latter (I should be ok after 10pm ct and don't mind staying up late) or wait until tuesday.

[markusf]

We on for tomorrow? Crustation is here.

[Crustacian]

To all nations great and small, you may now rise to Ännie Queen of the Germans. I am announcing this explanation to Crusties absence which was of dire importance to my well being. Crustie arrived in my defense to slay a great dragon. Thank you for your patience in this regard, his aid was invaluable.

Deity can't do today's game, he's at work, making up for his day off on Monday. Bad back. M-hm. Sure. Yup.

I thought you guys said friday was out for you this week?

Everyone should be here tuesday...

[Crustacian]

I also thought friday and saterday was out, but plan to be there tuesday night usual time.

[finbar]

Mmmmmmmmmmmm. I thought we said Friday night was okay. I know I did. In fact, we told Mark Everson we couldn't do the tournament game Friday night because of this game. I think.

I'm confused. My head hurts.

I'll know more about Tuesday night in the next day or so. I might have unavoidable meetings. In the cause of earning an income.
