[Paddy]

and the demise of the English was a slow process, but inevitable

well done Lord Dan

[smellymummy]

what happened?

[Paddy]

welll

[Paddy]

I look forward to watching these threads for updates.

[smellymummy]

that second lottery is rather rediculous imo. do you think its fair for players in the pbems that are not receiving gifts of cities?

retiring would of been much better

[Paddy]

indeed, but then would that have been more civilization like, civs have behaved differently throughout history

[smellymummy]

in a game among others, wouldnt it be right to behave civilized. a prewarning of the develloping situation would of been nice

[Paddy]

I believe that the options chosen were civilized

[smellymummy]

it will be dissapointing to see you go paddy

So, I am a blight now? TBO, the cities that paddy gave me won't be usefull for another 100 or 200 turns. That is about how long it will take me to put in a Forbidden Palace. Untill then, I will spending all my income on purchasing spearmen to defend the cites from the neighboring Germans. Right now, the Germans like me just fine, but that could change, especially if I leave cities undefended at the borders.

I do find it hilarious that my score is still less than the Russians, and they didn't even have literature last I checked.

As soon as I get some kind of an attack force I will begin removing the big ugly obstical between my territories.

Well, I'm awaiting my turn,
Dan O.

Oh, and thanks Paddy.

The game won't be the same without you. It does seem such a shame that we spent the past, what 50 turns? trying to make contact in the game, only to be seperated again so quickly.

Thanks for the cities, they may become very usefull sometime in the future.

I liken the two territitories to the colonization of the USA. At first there were only colonies on the two coasts, then road and rail followed, followed then by settlements that made it truly one nation. Also, there are some natives that I don't see a future in. It's not that I don't like the Germans or anything, it's just that they block the path of progression.

Well, thanks agian,
Dan O.

And your right Smelly, my score has been steadily rising since Paddy gave me his cites. I hope to pass up the Russians in the next few turns. I did notice that they now have the most culture in one city.

Stupid Russians are colonizing on my new land! And of course the Vikings just had to put a city right in the middle of my main conitinent, taking 2 incense squares.

Some day, I will recruit an army, and then we will see who takes who's land!
