more to the world than cricket !!! oh you must mean Football... !!!

And i think you must be wrong finny, more austrlaians and other cricketing nations would be impacted by his career more than a million other people...
I mean try getting any australain to list all our PMs ...

Unlike Americans we dont respect our political leaders becasue they are jsut politicians despite being our nation leaders. Our heroes and those who affect most of us are sportwmen and women.. Although recently a few young people starting to look upto the Capitalists in our midst..

you are right of course, behind the scenes and unbeknownst to most of us are many good people , but they havent made obviosu impacts on us.

The Don to me and probably many other Aussies was a hero, a role model and beaut all round bloke !!!!

[finbar]

I wasn't talking about politicians, Raz. Politicians have nothing to do with it. I was talking about everyday people who never get a mention. Frankly, I find the deifying of Bradman an indictment of this country. Peter Roebuck - the cricket writer - got it right when he said Bradman didn't even rank in the top 3 people who had made real contributions to world cricket over time. Yes, he was the world's best batsman. Fine. But what else? There is, in fact, plenty of evidence to suggest he was an incredibly selfish person who also played the religious card in team selections. Who would rank higher than him in terms of contribution to world cricket over time? For starters, Frank Worrell took the West Indies - a bunch of separate little countries - and welded them into a single unit. He was mentor and father figure and wet nurse and diplomat. And a champion cricketer to boot.

i can play

[Alexander's Horse]

finbar is right - Arthur Mailey is quoted as saying Bradman was the most unpopular player he ever played with. Mailey is not alone.

Chaos, panic and disorder - My work here is done.

I've been busy but this is the current download of the 'real' scenario:

www.ozemail.com.au/~iadkins/real.zip

There may be some final changes.....

Can I get definite confirms from everyone:
carnide YES?
agharta YES - Americans
Markus YES
Hydey YES
deity YES
Nappy YES?

WE need just ONE more. And select your civ!

In the absence of any strong objections here is a civ listing:



I'll kill the English civ if we get no 7th player.

RULES, unless any major objections:

As per the manual except-
* 2200AD finish
* Oracle expires with Democracy
* Mike expires with Electricity
* Diplo style game with stories but wars as per the manual
* no city bribe
IN any dispute unless otherwise agreed in advance, the manual rules prevail. We all use standard features like inc rush buying so I guess that sort of thing is OK.

I'd really like turn-based but I guess most of you will prefer SIMUL.
Wars must be turn-based though. I think it's OK to launch a surprise attack in a SIMUL turn; then the world is notified that WAR is on and turn order is respected as per the honour system until war is declared over by BOTH combatants. The state of the WAR must be reported to the world.

I'm currently in a SIMUL diplo game and a turn-based diplo game and SIMUL is not really that much quicker; PLUS I enjoy the precision of turn-based. You have time to plan and negotiate but I will go with the flow on this one.

As an Australain but not a devout cricket follower I must say Who the Flick is arthur mailey??

And as for contributuions to cricket, I know many little boys who would have read of the Dons technique of hitting the golf ball against the raintank stand and tried to emulate it.

I agree there may well have been peopel behind the scenes who had more impact on cricket, like for instance Packer when he started WSC, and the behind the scenes influences of "Strop" John Cornell , in recruiting the players.

But lets get back to the Real world of Civ multipalying

[markusf]

I want the germans, same as the test game.

If anyone is foolish enough to play the english they will get screwed over by me. (its the way the map is set up)

nappy with so many players i would suggest.

all civs that aren't at war move first, at the same time the first civ at war moves.

So if there are 4 civs at war and 3 civs at peace, The 3 civs at peace move at the same time. Then then it goes turn based, if rome germany and sioux are at war.
rome moves and says he is done, then germany moves and says he is done, then sioux moves and says he is done. This would save a lot of time.

[markusf]

Changed my mind. I want the romans.
