Sorry, I'm not in chat, but how did we get writing? I thought we had to pay through our nose to get that tech.

EDIT: nevermind, that line was just added.

[Makahlua]

Never mind about Salamanca; GK tells me it's in the city list for Spain

And here's a link to the final save for today:

FYI - Salamanca is in the spanish city list. It is just similar to an Iroc name iirc.

[Madcaptn]

I only play Iroquois and I can tell you that Salamanca is the Iroquois Capital but looking at the layout of the Spanish Territory, I would say that Salamanca wasn't the Iroquois Capital because if it was, there probably would've been more Iroquois Cities near it unless they're all up north.

[MrWhereItsAt]

Salamanca is the name of an Iroquois city?

I know for sure there is an actual city in Spain named Salamanca, so there is no question of the Iroqs going down.

[pikesfan]

What level is this? The Spanish sure have a lot of cities.

[MrWhereItsAt]

We're at Deity, where the AI civs get extra units for nothing near the start.

[Rhothaerill]

There are a lot of nice little Spanish coastal cities that should fall quite easily to our hordes of galley-born Berserks!

BTW, once we get off the island, it looks like there are a lot of nice wheat and cattle tiles to the south.

[BigFurryMonster]

It seems that the last few turns were not reported yet ..?

(someone please post a screenshot + the save !)

[Makahlua]

We didn't get much further b/c we were discussing the Spain/Egypt deals.Check the save in my abover post - that's the latest

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

So is there any support to naming that lonely mountain tile island Mingapulco? It'll be our own in game Alcatraz.........

Giving Salamanca to the Iroquois was a mistake from Firaxis. It's already fixed, I think

So 1550 bc is where we stopped? Or is there a more recent save because BFM claims we played farther than that.

[Makahlua]

yes, stopped in 1550 after we finalized the deals and made sure production was going well - then the few remaining need to leave, so I called it a good stop point
