Hmm. There is nothing in my box.

[ricketyclik]

It'll show up in due course, no doubt. In the meantime...

I discussed it with ricketyclik and we agreed to surrender.

I cannot think of any way we could possibly win this game.

With such bad starting locations for both my civs I had no chance to win against good players like you.

Congratulations, you're the winner

Thanks for a fair - but short - game. Not much fighting there except for the spanish attack on the egyptians lately.

About starting positions..... I have partly looked the whole map (using map-exchange between our nations) partly played turn 0 for all nations this morning (dk-time).

I would say, that only the german and the roman nations really sucked. Those nations couldn't in anyway get a decent start. Germans with polarmountains, glacier and tundra (but also river a to move along). Rome because of swamps, hills and sand.

The rest? Well, that was just a mix between luck and bad-luck - what direction one choosed for the settlers and when the settler was ordered to build. No one got a super-duper start I think. But some could have had it with just a little luck.

Now I have to seek players for another team-match. Some of you wants to participate?

[ricketyclik]

Thanks for the game fellas.

I'd like to play in the next one.

[Kralj Matjaz]

Thanks again for the game.

I'd like to play in another one.

However, I'll go to visit Ricketys land (http://www.manilla2007.com/) next week and will be away another month, but after that I can join.

With the exception of ricketyclik's one civ, the Persians, it is quite obvious to me that you got better starting positions and I disagree that the Germans got a bad starting location. With a long river covered with ice and tundra yes, but also forests you could host 4 fast growing and highly productive cities, had virtually an unlimited space for expansion and not seriously threatened by another player.

As for me, both starting locations are perhaps the worst I ever played in my PBEM life

Bad starting locations might not had been an issue if we wouldn't had met so early, meaning not having started so close to each other...
