That's great. :goodjob: I got a worker 40 tiles away from my home territory in COTM10 and wasn't able to get it through the barbs before losing it!!

You know Tubby we expect you to win this game before 1000AD :cool:

No pressure. I'm still trying not to screw up. My trend has been positive in the past three games but we'll see.

I'm excited. :D I screwed up on 40, but replayed it later with better results. Then I went and played 39 and am cleaning out the continent, so I think I can do really well here (for me). I just hope there is iron around...

Why is everyone so obsessed with iron. :lol:
I would be happy if i had horses nearby and then i can get myself iron even closest source on the opposite site of our starting continent. Besides i would not need to trigger early GAs that way.

Persia + Iron = Immortal -> serious_butt_kicking -> lots of fun! :D

dman REALLY REALLY likes horses. He wanted to build one legionaire against 50 horses in a Roman SG we played

let's do this game. maybe i wont be who start. but time will show who is the best .
