I resend turn 3to Jon, but I think who You have to many problems....

[burchill]

Hi,

My coomputer is now working properly and I am able to rjoin the game.

However I get the feeling that some people want to restart ?. I don't mind if we do (after all it would be better to make this decision now than in 100 turns time).

So I guess we should all post what we want to do. I am not too bothered either way.

Turn 4 Resent to Burchill.

Re C/W - Granary Bug.

If anyone else has lost out due to this bug and needs to follow the same path as I have I would advise you that the Build Queue is NOT dynamic and therefore you must return the improve.txt back to it's normal settings immediatly. If an improvement goes in at 0 it stays at 0 even if you subsequently change the values. This can cause numerous problems if you are involved in several games as what counts for one counts for all.

Be careful! Playing with the gamedata files is a very messy and, in my view, unsatisfactory method of resolving problems when there is any other possible solution.

I hope that this is the end of our problems in this game and can now settle down to having some fun!

[burchill]

Ok the turn generated is again called turn 4.

Now there is no way that it could of got mixed up with anything because I reformatted my hardrive yesterday.

So I sent the turn on to rick, I think we should see what happens.

Burchill it is right that it is Turn 4.

You are the first player so I get turn 3 and send you turn 4. The turn ends with the completion of my move.

[Rick Elkins]

I would rather not re-start. Why not just continue, after fixing the granary/city walls problem?

[Rick Elkins]

burchill, I emailed you yesterday, but you should ignore that message as Earthlink has reinstated my email account that they somehow "lost".

But there is still no sign of the turn from you. Other emails have come in fine, as have turns from another game, so it does seem to be working fine. Could you please re-send it? The address is torick1@earthlink.net Thanks.

[Krzysztof]

[Krzysztof]

Turn 4 --> Jon

My elite military forces crushed weak defenders in City "Sevastopol"... Now it is Assyrian city....

[Jon]

Turn 5 to Burchill

Creator.
I hope you are proud of yourself!

Attacking Smolensk when you knew that I could not have constructed a Freebie C/W or be possessed of the Gold to rush build any additional Defensive Units is the most outrageous exploitation of a bug in the game.

I have accepted your P/T because I have no choice but you are without any doubt someone who has no idea of what playing within the 'spirit' of the game means.

turn5--> Rowick

The Senate of Rome has issued a formal Condemnation of the recent act of aggression taken upon the Russian people by the Assyrian army.

While we recognize that both nations have now signed a peace agreement, we feel that the initial invasion and taking by force of a Russian city during a period of game adjustment was especially uncalled for.

We Romans also have a peace treaty with our neighbors the Assyrians, but we must insist that no further warlike actions be taken. Such action would demand action of our own by the great Roman armies. That this would be a regrettable road to go down is, we hope, obvious to all.
We call upon Creator to remove his troops from the city and allow it to return to Russian rule. And let us all then return to a peaceful co-existance.
