Arabs, then.

I started a turn thread.

I'm picking Egypt if Sir Ralph picks Persia, otherwise I'll get... Babylon!

[Harovan]

If alexman wants to take Egypt, I don't insist on it. Give me Persia then. Being the only scientific civ is also an asset. OTOH, if alexman takes Babylon I take Egypt.

Geez, you go away for a day and they steal a tech from ya.

game three finally sent, btw.

On another subject, reading between the lines of what you guys have said, the object of this game is to permit and encourage more combat. To that end, I would recommend serious restrictions on tech trading. Last game, there was little time to build up a decent stack in the ancient era because tech trading had us in the middle ages so quickly. Moreover, the Zulu were punished for fighting to some extent in that aggression makes a civ less attractive as a tech trading partner. What do you think of no tech trading unless both civs have researched education?

duplicate post, sorry

[alexman]

I'll start composing my AAR today, and I'll post it in the Strat Forum some time soon. Feel free to beat me to it!

[Dominae]

I was going to do the same...lots of saves to filter through for screenshots!
