Actually I guess we should play dual dual.

Lets play with exactly the standard settings above except GOODS=100% and Diverse=60%.

Go ahead and set it up. I think you create a game, save it. Send me that saved game. Then open the game play a turn and send me that one also. Then we both have blue and orange. First one to win either game wins.

Be carefull CM.

Dualgames where your opponent know your starting positions could be very dangerous when the opponent is Blackice.........

If I ever get a challengegame with Blackie, I would demand a "normal" game.

Well I thought the same thing, but got tired of all the fooling about. Let's get on with it

[checkMate]

checkMate vs Nimrod Turn 56 - The Greek hordes led by Nimrod have well scouted and generally trespassed all over the beutiful cities of California. The prosperous central valley is thriving and showing higher power than the Greeks. Now five of the intrepid Californian's are paying a visit to Ceserea let's see what the outcome shall be.

Mieciofok vs checkMate Turn 56 - The Polish phalanx's have harrassed the 49er's of California. They have been chased from one end of the state to the other. For the time being all is quiet, but the citizens fear that this time of calm is only giving the Polish hordes time to build a final deadly force. A lurking sense of dread is in the air.

theBirdman vs checkMate Turn 62 - The California's have built a strong and productive land. They made a long journey to a new river. The lead scouts have discovered an Avarian city on a remote isthmus. THe good people of the golden gate wait to see the whether the enemy intentions are that of dove or fowl.

Ricketyclik vs checkMate Turn 26 - The gold rush has just begun in California. Cities are appearing quickly around shanty mining towns. No contact has ever been made with any other inhabitant of the world.

Update:

6. Chlg 6 TheBirdMan vs. Lung; Started Aug-2002 -- In progress.

Turn 193: The brave americans are pressing the inferior australians. The marines was supposed to join the american forces in a few turns - but the citizens of New York eats too much, therefore the effect of Galileos Telescope are reduces drastically - I have had to let the scientists work on the fields for a while . Add to this, that the scientists of Edison Lab are more than lazy - they have not produced a decent break-through yet . But they will have to - else .....

25. Chlg 25 Mathemagician vs. TheBirdMan; Started Nov-2002 -- In progress.

Turn 163 (I think): ( Pending - just pending . It was a good game, I hope we can re-open the challengegame in the future -

42. Chlg 42 TheBirdMan vs. hatschy; Started Feb-2003 -- In progress.

Turn 154: My Native American nation leads the game - at least in science. I know, because I have made a very dirty trick - established an embassy with my comming enemy ! The slaving American AI-nation was utterly defeated some turns ago by the victorious Native Americans.

45. Chlg 45 TheBirdMan vs. Mieciofok; Started Feb-2003 -- In progress.

Turn 104: My Korean nation leads the population - and I guess, than I lead in science too. Found a great unsettled continent, which I am colonizing now. The ruins there have given me quite a few advantages and only few babarians to fight off.

46. Chlg 46 TheBirdMan vs. ricketyclik; Started Mar 2003 -- In progress.

Turn 112: My Scottish nation are doing well - going to war against the Viking AIs near me now. The strongest nation - the English AI - have given me map-information of great value.... A map showing the homeland of Ricks nation!

52. Chlg 52 david42one vs. TheBirdMan; Started Apr-2003 -- In progress.

Turn 43: Had to go to war against David already - his warrior was just a little too cleaver, playing tourist around my cities.

53. Chlg 53 checkMate vs. TheBirdMan; Started Apr-2003 -- In progress.

Turn 69: Pressed between a stong AI and CheckMate. Dosn't look too good for me.

Even Lung must give up here, naming the turns

Woodpecker Pecking Your Eyes Out vs Richard Nixon
Umbrella Bird Walking in the Rain vs Nixon's Vixon
Mocking Bird Molting vs Proud Pillow Feather Collector
Burnt Pheonix vs. TheLittleWhiteManWithATinpotOnHisHead
Statue Bomber vs TheStatue
Pigeon Pooping vs Richard (the Lying Hearted) Nixon
McNugget vs Fat Sam

Just a few - I think I am going to make a new thread about naming games

Chlg XXXX Azreal vs. TheBirdMan; Started (Can't remember) -- In progress.

Turn 45: Funny starting position - a little island nearly as a square. Have just made some tririmes - going for more land to explore/settle.

[quinns]

Didn't know you and Azrael were playing Birdman. Good luck!

57. Chlg 57 Azrael vs. TheBirdMan; Started Jan-2003 -- In progress.
