The first post in this thread lists some games as "active", which definitely are not. These are matches 162, 177 (except if TheBirdman has a copy of the last turn and wishes to continue that match) and 178. Quinns, could you either cancel these or count them as a win for my opponents (since it was me who left the scene), please.

Cancelled 162, 177, and 178.

Unless anyone objects, I'll just cancel your above noted matches, Hatschy. I'll wait awhile, though, to give time for objections.

Cancel 178.

I do have a copy somewhere.

But as time passed since we stopped playing that match, my curiousity got too strong....... so even though I have the copy, the match can't be reopened.

Hard to say who would have won, but I do think you had the upperhand.

Does anyone know where I can download the mod/SLIC that gives extra messages, like new city growth, you have been bombarded etc.? I think Mathemagician made it.

EDIT: Nevermind I found it here.

I emailed Bolkonsky too when I emailed everyone else to dredge up a few more players and he never emailed back. I heard back from Mathemagician and tried to convince him to drop CIV IV long enough to return to CTP, but no luck. He was a good opponent. Never heard from Nukeboy or Dimytes either.

Yes, Mathemagician was a good oppenent. It's a shame he plays Civ IV instead of CtP. Civ IV has pretty good graphics and other "nice stuff", but for a strategy game I still like CtP much better.

I was awaiting your approval of the settings. I see now that you do approve. I'll set it up tonight.

Grandpa. Sorry for the delay in setting up our game. I think one of my daughters got ahold of my CTP CD and I cannot find it. Looks like I'll have to buy another one from eBay.

[TheBirdMan]

I'll probably have room for 3 new games within the next month.
