Yes, this is certainly a game of alliances... much more so than in the past.
we're waiting on muxec, spaced, and jonny, I think.
It's all right though- I was blasted off the net for 1-2 days due to a bad connection- so I wasn't able to access anything online- so I got help on improving the Society program from an expert. (There should be less bugs now)
..so sparrowhawk, what do you think of the program I sent you?

Very Impressive
One thing I didn't like on first review is it seems to process orders one player at a time whereas in the game you need to be able to process the different segments before moving on to the next (Espionage, then Trade, then Production(Science, Cities, Wonders, Military), then Foreign Aid, then Wars and lastly Taxation.
The way it is set up I had difficulty with moving between the different societies and the different phases. For instance I did a test where Smiley was player one and Muxec was player 2 and they both researched tech 2. For Smiley the cost was 4 gold, for Muxec I couldn't figure out how to keep the cost at 4 gold, it wanted to change to 3 as Smiley had already researched the tech.
(But this is a minor complaint, as I said the program is quite impressive even though you need to tweak it still). I intend to try it with all the orders from Game 4 and see if I come out with the same results as my spreadsheet...though the rules have changed slightly since game 4, so it might not be a perfect comparison). Haven't had time to test in that detail however, hopefully this weekend.

Well, I can very easily process one stage at a time, all I do is switch between the players.
Right now I have to do the tech thing manually, but I know what I'm doing.
Well, good luck with that Sparrowhawk.
If you could send me your program, I'd really appreciate it!-->Visit CGN!

DAY 5:End of A Struggle
On January 1, 1000 AD, The Emperor of the Empire of Enlightenment, Jonny, was executed after troops from the Coven of Hawks descended upon his empire.
In the town square, the General, under orders from Elector Sparrow himself, carried out the orders, putting an end to the life of the tyrant and striking fear into the heart of his ally, the Dictator Whoha of the Most Evil of Empires.
In other events, Spaced Cowboy's scientists, researching nuclear fission split the atom and discovered nuclear power.
Smiley meanwhile, embarked on a massive "family-building program" resulting in the founding of about 12 new cities (give or take) spreading across the landscape.
1000 AD.
