So far it's on a local Apache on my home server and unaccessible from the public web. You have to hack my firewall to see it. And don't try to Google it. I will publish it, when the game is over. May be portions earlier.

What's his name? Tonto?

[Harovan]

Who's name? Apache is a webserver program for *NIX, as opposed to the IIS for Windows.

[ormuzd]

there is win version too

oh, and it's your turn, sir ralph, the-owner-of-the-huge-candle-made-of-stone.

[Harovan]

Thanks for the poetic description .

1150BC to ADG

and sent...

[CerberusIV]

to GF

Sent to Eli.

GhengisFarb wonders how many people switched from Lighthouse to Pyramids.......

[Eli]

Eli wonders how everyone managed to research Map Making already.

Sent.

[CerberusIV]

Cerberus advises Eli to research mapmaking soon. The turn after Sir Ralph finished the stone candle thingy the Ottomans research time to mapmaking dropped from 5 turns to 1 turn and they were able to reduce the science slider from 80% to 20% and make some money.

Oh wait... my prebuild disappeared. Darn, now I won't get the Pyramids.

I didn't research it. I found it in a hut on a nearby island. Honest!

EDIT: Nice Xpost, Ghengis.

That is strange. The value of a tech isn't supposed to drop after a wonder is built. Only the internal value for the AI is supposed to drop (i.e. the AI won't buy Music Theory for lots of money after Bach's is built). Are you sure you aren't an AI, Cerberus? Fishy... Can you keep the 2 saves, before and after?

[CerberusIV]

I only have the last turn ADG sent to me so I can't check it. However I am sure that when the Lighthouse was completed I was still a few turns away from the tech at 80% and when I opened the turn it was virtually given to me.

I don't think it was the Lighthouse being built. I assumed it was because everyone else had the tech. I thought the research needed reduced for each civ that has the tech. It can't be only for each known civ because that would get very complicated on continents maps surely. Also if you start a game with a lot of scientific civs you think will find it slightly easier to research bronze working.

I did found a new town and a couple of others may have increased in population but that should not have been enough to boost research that much.

Oh, and I am not an AI. Now please excuse me whilst I go and recharge my batteries.

[CerberusIV]

There is a rumour that they removed WW in multiplayer games. Did they change anything else I wonder?

He found Mapmaking from a Goody Hut on a nearby island. Does anyone else notice a slight glitch in this explanation?
