I response to a question raised on page 4, you stop your units being moved by the AI if you press Ctrl-N at the end of your turn. Then save.
One think I would say about this scenario - it is OK in PBEM, lousy in SP (the AI is just too dumb, no matter how much help I gave it) but really shines in online MP. Because cities and units are few, turns fly by, especially before 600BC. With four or more players, it has a nice feel.
I would even suggest to players who were going to do a PBEM that they played the first 50 turns (up to around 650BC) online (should take 3-5 hours), then settled into PBEM when you had enough cities and units to make each turn interesting.
Anyway, have fun. Hope the Persians show up with the determination to make things interesting this time!

Really? What did I give you?

Sorry guys, but from tomorrow evening I won't have access to a computer till Monday evening next week!!
So, if my turn comes before, IF you really can't wait until I come back, just let the AI play it...
But of course I would prefer to play it myself as soon as I come back!!!
So, if you have to wait because of it, sorry... (well, actually I'm not THAT sorry, because I'm off to Scotland to taste a few whiskies and pints of bitter... )
