570BC Turn sent to Smelly.

Concerning the 1.15 Beta Patch - I myself have not installed it yet (though I do have it downloaded on to my harddrive). There are some people in other PBEM games that I play in that have the 1.15 Patch installed and it works with other players still using v 1.12 (so far). So I guess what I'm saying is that if you really want to install the Beta 1.15 now, I guess there shouldn't be any problem with the playability of our game. But I for one, am thinking that i wll give Firaxis a few more weeks to release the final version.

Oh yes, and congrats on your graduation Melboz!

The world according to the Dutch


well after nearly 80 years of dutch beer drinking, the dutch wise men discovered the secrets of Dutch sea turtles (and also the little known dutch flying turtles for aerial recon).

Then, within a measly 20 years, the dutch turtle riders have finally mapped the entire world as they know it to 300% accuracy! Unfortunately, the secrets of flight where entirely lost after an unfortunate crash into Mount Heineken.

So this is the real deal boys. Consider this the official Dutch atlas. Enjoy, and accept no substitutes

some areas of interest include:

The Netherlands in the north west; a very rich and beautiful country, which houses the number 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th top cities of the world. The dutch would be happy to entertain any foreign workers, and they promise not to whip any tourists to death.

Skandnavia in the far south. An extremely rugged country, populated by rapidly breeding face painters who find happiness by living in hot deserts or in the murky swamps surounding the bay of Stockholm.

Portgale to the east. Almost as beautiful as the rich Netherlands, Portgale is filled with green fertile fields and populated with slim people who walk twice as fast as the dutch and who wear well cleaned animal skins.

The Island of Gontoofar, to the east of Skandnavia. A very exotic and strange land where the larger one's hat is, the more important that person is. You should see there leader, what an impressive hat he has.

And finally in the north eastern side of the world, lays vast stretches of virtually uninhabited lands.

There is the great red desert to the east of the Utrechtian mountain range as you can all see. North of that is the Silent Forest of Kiev which guards the sub continent from the evil northern glaciers, which in turn should serve as a warning to everyone to never enter the North Ocean of Sinkage. Even the sea turtles don't go there.

As of 550 BC, the Netherlands has officialy named all major landmarks and countries, taking great care to not anger the erroneous natives of the lands the Dutch so carefully named. The list of areas is extensively long, however I'll at least end this note with the name of our massive continent, which is called Hollandia.

That map doesn't look right to me!

I should be in the south, yet I don't see my homeland there!

Is this map rotated by chance? I mean, should the map be wider than it is long?

[smellymummy]

i know, it's strange isn't it?

I guess thats what we get with random map settings

[Melboz99]

Oh wait, I'm not where I thought I was at all. I'm in the east!

Well, Babylon was an "eastern" civilization, so I guess it fits.

Okay, I'm still confused.

I went into the game, and I can not mouse scroll more than one screen width from the south pole!

Where the heck am I?

Ooops, not from the south pole, TO the south pole. I have about 5-10 squares between me and the south pole.

This doesn't make any sense!
