I see the count went up even thought I canceled the DL. I realized I already had it from the voting.

BTW I appreciate your being on the job Rhothaerill.

[Mountain Sage]

Downloaded. Let's go kill some more useless civs...

[ZargonX]

Time to slap around Japan; again

[Rhothaerill]

So has anyone played this save and seen something that occured a few turns in yet?

[alexman]

Does it have anything to do with several civs just having entered the Middle Ages?

[Rhothaerill]

That would be it. I used your save while determining the year that this turn block would end and saw some interesting stuff occur.

[ZargonX]

Ah, you mean the 900 horsemen barbs that sacked Muscat? Yeeeahhh.... about thaaat....

[Rhothaerill]

Bump for vmxa1.

Ok, I seemed to have had a very hard time stick with this one. I suspect it is because of all the stop starts.
I have a few other games going on (Moo/Homm/Might and Magic) and when I start this one I am not sure what I am suppose to be doing.

Anyway first thing I did was to panic. I see we are in a new age and Alexmen said at least two others are as well. He did not say if any uprising had been announced.
I looked around and felt that only the cities out toward EDO were likely targets. They had no defenders and a straight shot to unexplored lands in the fog.
So I switched Muscat to walls and sent some horse to defend those three cities.

I noted a strange or at least funny thing, Carth and Japan had RoP? They have no way to cross each others land.

I am a cautious player and would like to have some sentries out in the fog before rolling to a new age to spot any camps.

I kicked off the war and killed the archer in our land.

Wow massive uprising had occurred by Edo and 16 barbs horsemen hit it and all died, while my stack of swords on the mountain watched in horror. No9 defends kill, but they were down to 1 HP and HP.
Looks like I could have avoid the expense, but anyway I hit Edo and no problems as the elite spears were nearly dead already.
Switched Shiraz to temple, baghdad switched to court.
Mecca starts spear, found Balrh (sp) and started temple.

Mde contact with Germany and sold them some very early ancient techs, they were in very bad shape tech wise.
Hurried production in Osaka so I could rush a barracks. I needed to upgrade some swords as they were not faring all that well against size 7 spears. Cannot afford to build cats as they could wreck the wonder.
