From all the things i have read on these boards, the only thing that seems to stop the game shifting to cheiftan is the 1.21 patch.

Well, this game got going a lot quicker than I was expecting. Good luck everyone.

Anatolia, whatever you wrote in the e-mail got mashed up and shown as a string of odd characters.

My computer is Korean and the stuff you see in your e-mail is your computer's attempt to display Korean characters. The message is just the text that Windows XP generates when you right-click a file and select 'Send by E-mail'.

Sent. As for your starting position Hot_Enamel...

I'd prefer to keep going but I know how hard it can be with a bad start. I also like bad starts to see if I can pull a win off nonetheless. Fortunately I am not in that position in this game so it is easier for me to say that right now.

[marcuspeddle]

Should we vote on starting over? I would start over if my starting position was all desert or tundra but if I had at least plains I would keep going. Can you tell us more about your position?

[Hot_Enamel]

From Memory ( I am at work)

My visible tiles are

Hill - Hill - Hill - Hill
Hill - Hill
Desert
Plain


I am on a tiny penisula.
I could of spent 3-4 rounds sending my settler over the hills I guess....

I started the city on the desert.
The plains have a bonus wheat

I recreated my land in the Civ3 editor.
Rome has a max population of 3....and VERY slow growth.

I will pop out my 1st settler around when you guys a looking at your 3rd city.

And I have no idea whats over those hills yet....maybe more hills & mountains ? Maybe desert ? Maybe Eden ?


I got the file from SirOsis this morning and played the game. I also enjoy the tough starts, but this one is really rough.

I can post a pic of the start tonight.
But if the votes to push on, then I will just live with it.
