The setting of passwords is no good?

What happens if we all have "Kill civ on retirement" enabled? Will we ever meet and interact with each others' civs (since my empire crumbles into dust, ceases to exist)?

And how do we avoid that the AI sells us out when (if) we meet?

Carolus - your civ crumbles into dust if you quit/retire. What we're doing is saving the game and sending it on, so that won't happen. Interaction will be minimal, since we can't talk to each other on the F3 screen. But that means the AIs can't do anything stupid. And caravans, diplos, and military units can still do their things...

I've posted more than my share of dumb questions on these forums, but this must be an all time low!

Too bad George W Bush already has appointed his Vice President! I would make him look good as president...

"The noble leader of the friendly Sioux is pleased with history as it has unfolded thus far. Although being an isolated and lonesam world, its soil and sea have proven to be bountiful. It is with great interest and curiousity the Sioux each day hear of other tribes, some seemingly similar and one seemingly different having more units than the sky has stars.

The curiousity stems from the fact that although the world is wonderful it is also wonderless and travels across the vast seas are so dangerous that only the bravest or most foolish sioux warriors dare participate in such endeavours. Not until safer ways of crossing the ocean have been developed and mastered will Sioux ships steer towards friends and foes. Or do these other tribes possess knowledge that is yet unheard of?

No, the Sioux War Council has drunk of its deep wells of wisdom and proclaimed that no danger will appear for centuries to come. By that time new generations of sioux warriors with more powerful weapons will walk the earth, ready to give their lives to protect their families and friends.

The leaders of these mysterious, other tribes shall hence not believe that the Sioux is a weak nation. Given that the various sioux tribes can agree on the buffalo hunt to be when two full moons have passed, the sioux nation will unite. Like five fingers turning into a fist...

The Egyptians find their homeland to be a large and productive one, capable of sustaining many cities. Rather than waste the kingdom's resources on temples, the wise queen Cleopatra is using martial law to convince her populace of the wisdom of further expansion.

Since the laws of this world allow technologies to be acquired only through research, the queen is following the way of the great wise one Xin Yu and hiring scientist to advance the kingdom's knowledge. Let the dissolute ones of the world spend their precious trade on golden cups and hold celebrations in honor of their leaders. Cleopatra will rule her subject with an iron fist and devote all her resources to growing her kingdom's size and knowledge.

"Indeed, the legends spoke the truth! How could we doubt their content? Generations of Sioux have felt the sun's warm rays of light and have been laid down to eternal rest, and not once have they been wrong before..."

"Alas, it seems that not all inhabitants of this garden of Eden are as peaceful as the Sioux. Our hearts are sad as we hear of some tribes' hardship and enslavement. The way of the iron fist is not unknown to the Sioux, who long ago fought ferociously for centuries against a pale tribe and nearly succumbed to the white man's greed and thirst for blood."

"The legends speak of many, many dead Sioux warriors, women and children. Extinction seemed inevitable when the white devils suddenly started fighting amongst themselves. The South of their conquered territories wanted their freedom, which the North refused to grant, and the white tribe was thrown in a bloody civil war giving the Sioux Nation enough time to heal its wounds. Generations later, when the North-South stalemate had spilled millions and millions of white men's lifes, and the Sioux had recouped, vengeance struck without mercy."

"The battles of Snake Canyon, Lost Plains, Twoheaded Bear Forest, Eagle Eye Canyon, Moose River, The Revenge at Wounded Knee... The final betrayal of the capitols in North and South, respectively, and the following massacres... Dark chapters in our history which demanded enormous amounts of sacrifices from our own people... The Sioux have suffered volantarily under the rule of the iron fist to secure its existence... Never again shall such a barbaric reign be adopted, unless the same ultimate threat of extinction once again rears its ugly head..."

Vikings! Hear Crustacian!!

As we look to the sea and what unknown adventures await us far beyond our sacred fishing banks, remember how it has from ancient time been said:

"Row yourself to the battle, enemies will crumble under mighty arm as axe and sword you rattle"

Maybe only the great sea dragons will await us, maybe strange new lands with people like ourselves. Our own land as you have reported is vast but you are all welcome as brothers, not subjects, to fill it with vinyard, field, song, and laughter.

A word has been whispered that ships you do not row, and weapons you do not draw can be devised. Then if true even old men can become active warriors again!!

The source of the gold has been found high in the alpine summits near Crusthavn by a young lad searching for a lost arrow. All will receive a share to the 1000th generation it is so vast. The vein itself pokes out of the ground and tumbles down the slopes as if it were a lava flow of gold.
With the rest we can use wisely in time.

This is what I have spoken.

Now KNOW!
BE CONTENT!
LOOK!...far beyond the setting sun!
Bring me good news and many fine things for our people.

Very interesting game! Pbem is better than I expected.

Any chance of going on-line with this one in the near future?

Any upcoming travels and boring hotel evenings, DaveV?

Nothing scheduled, although my trips are sometimes rather last-minute affairs. I've been at home for several months now; it's been great for my family life, but has greatly reduced my Civ playing.

I'm enjoying PBEM on this game; the turns are proceeding at a good pace, and I can manage a large number of cities and units without feeling guilty about holding up the game.

[kengel]

Mighty warlords, please excuse the forgetfulness of the old much too often drunk king of the Japanese...
But on what rules did we agree?
Any besides the Apollo-wonder-only rule?

No tech stealing or trading, no city bribing, no alliances, as I recall. Foreign trade routes are allowed, but incoming caravans are fair game . No tech from city capture (in scenario settings).

The last five or six turns my workers have been rearranged by the AI. Nothing serious, but very annoying to shuffle them back every time. Anyone else experiencing this and any tips on how to prevent it? I press ctrl+n every time before saving the game.
