I can't get lucky with the California Lottery, but I can with this game.

I do believe that I'll try my hand as Shah Wittlich of the Arabian Empire! (ie, Arabs please)


Ok Ghengis, NEXT!

Heh, I haven't seen that in a while. Christopher Lambert at his acting finest.

Rommel - I understand your issue of someone else not reviewing the start - but the problem here is that you cannot tell in the first couple turns whether you have an island start or not. And having 6 civs on the continent and one on an island, in my mind, ain't good for the game.

If someone knows a way around this - without a 3rd part taking a view of the map - please let me know.

Otherwise - with Rhoth playing this game , I will ask Sir Ralph to do it.

Rommel, does that work for you?

Alexman is almost tied for the point lead in the 6s2ad game in a situation just as you fear- I'll withold judgement on how bad the situation is for now.

Like I said, I'd be willing to chance a 3950 restart option- it gives sefaring and expansionist tribes some redeeming qualities on a pangea. But as long as seafarers are eliminated from consideration, I'd be Ok with a map previewed by someone like SR or Dom...

I believe the quote is actually "There can be only one".

[Wittlich]

I think you're right Rickety....are we all still waiting on Ghengis to make his grand appearance?

I shall be Lord Ghengamesh of the Sumerians then.

Umm, they're not on the list.

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Oh, yeah. Sumerians aren't from Asia, not like those nice European Russians.......

Okay, how about China? Are they considered Asian are do we consider them Aussies?

Beta tosses his Arabic and Chinese dictionaries. He subtly kicks the Russian and Korean dictionaries under the couch, hoping he will not need them.

I never said the Sumerians were from Asia, just that they weren't on Beta's list.
