[Spaced Cowboy]

Miscal'd Sparrow's gold...corrected!

[civman2000]

Wow, this game is very cool!

[Spaced Cowboy]

Just missing orders from Jonny

[Sparrowhawk]

I think you were missing them from me too, but with the exchange of PM's between us lately, you probably thought one of them contained my orders

They are now in

/me

[Jonny]

Orders in.

[Spaced Cowboy]

Okay eveybody is in, but ran out of time tonight and I'm in training all next week so the updates might be a little slow for a bit, sorry.

I wasn't expecting to have to do this training but my boss thought otherwise.

[DarkCloud]

Well, hopefully at least the training isn't boring.

[Spaced Cowboy]

It is! Database query tools. Yuch!

[Sparrowhawk]

LOL, I took Access training last week (and I enjoyed it ).

[Spaced Cowboy]

This one is called cognos and it is made by some Canadian firm, yetch!

[Sparrowhawk]

Never heard of it, but if it is Canadian it must be top rate

/me

[Spaced Cowboy]

good news...no training tomorrow, so I should be able to update, sorry for the delay.

[Spaced Cowboy]

Again sorry for the delay...people kept coming into my office wanting suff....will get it done tomorrow.

Turn 6: "An Era of Cooperation and err...WAR!"

We had the normal city building and some of the empires became more technologically advanced. The chart and the map pretty much say it all.

Trade:
7 Caravans from Muxec[7D] to Whoha[7D] - 343
7 Caravans from Whoha[7D] to Dark Cloud[7D] - 343
5 Caravans from Smiley[5M] to Dark Cloud[7D] - 175
5 Caravans from Ljube-ljcvetko[5D] to Vlad Antlerkov[5D] - 125
5 Caravans from Vlad Antlerkov[5D] to Ljube-ljcvetko[5D] - 125
0 Caravans from Gamecube64[5R] to ??? - 0
4 Caravans from Jonny[6M] to Sparrowhawk[6M] - 216
2 Caravans from Jonny[6M] to Dark Cloud[7D] - 84
6 Caravans from Sparrowhawk[6M] to Jonny[6M] - 324
7 Caravans from Dark Cloud[7D] to Whoha[7D] - 343

Wonder Building
Ljube-ljcvetko balances guns and butter by building the silk road at location K6.
Smiley was busy building the Trans-Siberian Railroad but he ran out of supplies before he was finished because Dark Cloud paid more for then on the contruction of his version in (oh let's say) F6
Young Wonderboy Sparrowhawk gets his National Rifle Association on; all up in this here piece at A7.

Espionage
A spy from Vlad Antlerkov was killed in Gamecube64's military recruitment building which was empty this week.
A spy from Dark Cloud was killed leaving Ljube-ljcvetko's military recruitment building. The building then blew up taking out all of Ljube-ljcvetko's new recruits for this turn.

Gifts
Whoha gives Dark Cloud 14 freshly minted armies.
Ljube-ljcvetko gives Religion and Espionage to Vlad Antlerkov.
Jonny sends 30 armies to the Hills of Sparrowhawk.
Young Sparrowhawk shows Jonny the ways of Espionage, Industrialization, and Representative Government.

Wars
"The Saga Continues, Part Deux"

The Dark Cloud/Ljube-ljcvetko war contiues to rage on. This time both Ljube-ljcvetko and Dark Cloud attack with 30 (tech 7) and 43 (tech 8) armies repectively. Dark Cloud pawnz Ljube-ljcvetko's meager force and takes 16 of his armies on to try to grab some land.
Dark Cloud manages to successfully add two of Ljube-ljcvetko's cities to his domain, and Dark Cloud loses no further armies in the attack.

Sparrowhawk's 60 (tech 9) armies continue to attack Whoha's 40 (tech 8) armies; however, Whoha had the upper hand and successfully defended his cities. Sparrowhawk loses 5 armies, and Whoha loses 6 armies.

We have another unsettling issue to deal with as Vlad Antlerkov decided he did not like Gamecube64 anymore. He send 63 (tech 7) armies over the border to attack Gamecube's 21 (tech 8) defenders. It is an overwhelming victory but due to sneak attack restrictions, he is only able to occupy one of the 4 cities that he would have otherwise captured.
Vlad loses 3 armies and Gamecube64 loses 2 armies.

Governments:
Are now shown on the chart.
No one revolted this turn.

Wonders:
Gambecube64 - G11 - Tower of Babel
Smiley - K2 - Colosseum
Vlad Antlerkov - K11 - Trojan Horse
Gamecube64 - G10 - Acropolis
Sparrowhawk - B6 - Jihad
Ljube-ljcvetko - K6 - Silk Road.
Dark Cloud - F6 - Trans-Siberian Railroad.
Sparrowhawk - A7 - National Rifle Association.

Tech prices:
Industrialization (tech 8) is now 19 gold.
Representative Government (tech 9) is now 91 gold.

Mass Education (tech 10) is still 220 gold.
Nuclear Fission (tech 11) is still 356 gold.
Miniaturization (tech 12) is still 576 gold.
Space Flight (tech 13) is still 932 gold.
The Laser (tech 14) is still 1508 gold.


Wars
Dark Cloud versus Ljube-ljcvetko
Sparrowhawk versus Whoha
Vlad Antlerkov versus Gamecube64

Misc.
All empires have now discovered espionage. Their spys will be available next turn, that is, the turn after you discover the tech or build the wonder.

I've added a count in parenthesis next to the total number of cities. These are cities that do not count towards your gold production due to recent captures or governmental limitations.
