thats why i found it weird, its a fairly popular article...sorry I haven't been able to nerd out over in the strategy articles like I was able to do for [c3c]. My son has been getting up every 45 minutes at night and to keep my wife's sanity intact (however tenuously), I haven't been able to park in front of the computer much. I've been playing my turns ~ 5am before I go to work .

The sanity around the house nowadays is currently being held together by a couple of strips of duct tape. I haven't been able to get out and re-stock on the tape or we would be a-okay.

No worries, i'll go highlight the good ones for you ;)

its best to expand loads nice and early (like civ3) build as many cities as you can and then attack without catapults-we all know they wernt so usefull in civ3-basically its the same game!

:rotfl: should I try for Leo's as well? I'll start a pre-build for it so I can switch over at the last minute :lol:

Yup, theres this thing called religion but its only real use is having a pretty symbol next to your name, at least thats the only use ive found for it.

One other thing, if you're Hindu, is that you get to watch Dave build 1,000 units that hit for 3 promos out of the box.

Is it just me or have we all lost our marbles:crazyeye:
Then again can you lose something you never had. I was looking at the map and noticed there was no marble on the entire island:confused:

Is that a map error or something to do with balanced maps because i've never had a game so far where a whole resource was missing

WOW...Robi nice catch.

I think I had marble in the first trial run of this game..then we restarted. I wonder if there is a marble island out there.

:lol: for a minute there I thought that marbles was a custom resouce that Robi had been playing with.

There is a lot of dark spaces out there. I have 2 paths across the sea now and haven't seen anything but water water everywhere and not a drop to drink

Robi has lost his marbles...just like boat loads of elephants in another game.

Erm from what i remember meleager had marble didnt he?

everyone attack Meleager!!!!!

did you check under the cities???

Maybe it was near one of the cities that had the battles and its covered with bodies.

well i just checked diplo screen onetime and though about trading for it.

everyone attack Meleager!!!!!
Dangit! And here I was all prepared to take over Greater Mongolia with my full attack force. Merely paces away from ultimate conquest!!!! Oh well. Dave you dodged a bullet :lol:

What about Greater Mongolia?!?! :mad:

;)

Don't worry RM, I wasn't talking about Lesser Mongolia, so you're ok ;)

did you check under the cities???

Maybe it was near one of the cities that had the battles and its covered with bodies.

I then went and checked throught the dipomacy screen and no one had it. if it was under a city it would be connected.

I could have sworn I had seen it also...

Well if you can find it by all means show me. I can't see it anywhere, which to me is really odd for an entire resource to not be in the game.

I thought I remember grs having it....just a hazy memory.

I also guess this means you were getting ready to build a wonder that needed marble.... and were going to trade for it with a "friend" if they had it. Otherwise..why would you look for it. :)

No i was just having fun with my new graphics card looking around in general and it just happened to catch my eye i that i couldn't see any marble, so i started to look closely for it and did not see it anywhere on the map. I just find it really odd that its nowhere to be found, so i'm curious more than anything why there wouldn't be any. It probably one of those 1 in a million things that happens with the map script.

I'll get Satelittes in 5 turns and I could tell you then if it's on an island

pitboss is down

It's up now.

Welcome back Theoden. :mischief:

yes welcome back... did you know that now I am the bane of everyone's existence? :lol:

Welcome back Theoden. :mischief:
Well, check your combat log. :p

And I have sent a peace offer that I urge you to accept unless you want further casualties. ;)

:lol: oh my.. that's the funniest thing that I've heard in a long time.

the fact that he has to check the combat log to see the damage might indicate the level of the damage that was done :lol:

or the complete luck of the rng...like a 5% chance winning.

I'm timing out again. I think God doesn't want me to play this turn...

Nevermind. I got in fine. Although it is a new turn... :crazyeye:

The world is again at peace! :) I love you guys!

Nevermind. I got in fine. Although it is a new turn... :crazyeye:

Oh stop that, don't make me come and crush you:)

Well......the peace is short lived as I have just put in motion a plan to conquer the Greek in 2 moves. Oh wait, the one turn movement of my archers may make that a little longer than 2, but none the less.....

Can archer's get commando?

Apparently not. :eek:

In Mongolia all archers are taught to ride horses before they learn how to walk, so we consider them mounted units.

Dear Tubby,

Greece is a nuclear free zone, therefore I have to deny your nuclear destroyer access to Greek territorial waters. If you don't comply i will have to set my greenie units onto you :D

that thing has oil in it baby!!!

tubby do you just no longer sleep???

I get up in the morning @ 5 to get to work @ 6. I play my games then since my night time computer activity has been limited by the little woman. I got a reprieve last night to play [civ4] SGOTM2 turns.

that thing has oil in it baby!!!

No it doesn't, and i did warn you. The great unwashed are headed your way

So it's fine for you to tromp your flea bitten horses through my territory? I've has pest control companies working overtime to get the non-native species exterminated.

I didn't see the warning until I got to work this morning. and I played before I left the house. So :p Also I have had a warning out there and will follow through. ;)

Will you 2 just fight and get it over with.
I want some land and pillage..dangit.

Signed..
The Chinese Vultures.(successfully vulturing since the Matrix war)

Why do you think I have a unit or 2 running around in both your territories. :)

Plus no-one likes this 'world peace' thing we seem to have going...

Robi and Tubby both live in warm places. Would this be considered a "warm war"?

Warm...ha. There is more Tundra down there that anywhere else in on this map. In fact Tubby should change his civ's name to "Tundra Expanse."


I will be out for 1 or 2 turns...no one kill me please..also that will explain my scouting troosp wondering around or stopping for a few turns. Since Mauer claims to be capable of killing someone in 1 or 2 turns i feel safe since he is sooo far away.

Well, I wouldn't necessarily say I could kill them off with my massive armies, but I do have quite a mean stare :D

its what made my forces turn tail and run so far into grs's territory that i had to declare war.

That's right! So you guys better hope BC doesn't look my way again. Next thing you know Robi and Dave will both be going down to those crazy eyed Aztecs! I'm telling you, the stare is ferocious.

it was worse when he winked :shudder:

First my horses arn't radioactive and second i can't leave, the french closed their borders, so i have to wait for you to kick me out in 4 or 5 turns:p

Sorry, but I told both of you I don't want you two to fight a war on my soil. Your troops can always commit hari kari to keep the peace :D

Dear Tubby,

Greece is a nuclear free zone, therefore I have to deny your nuclear destroyer access to Greek territorial waters. If you don't comply i will have to set my greenie units onto you :D
Is that why the Greeks have 4 mined sources of Uranium? I suggest that you pillage those mines or I might do it for you :D.

Now How the hell would we know? Someone whos name rhymes with "Flubby" did want to trade Physics so we don't know what uranium looks like.

I tell you what, you give me Physics and i will go and disband those "uranium mines"

oh sorry, I forgot that you were backwards :P So how did you surmise that my ships are running on uranium. I was using sheep flatulence at one point for locomotion.

Hmmm , gee my flee bitten horse riders told me you have no oil:p , hence they must be nuclear powered:p

:lol: Sheep flatulence, pah elephant flatulence has much more power:D

I'm off for a few days at the end of this turn-if people could not declare war on me that'd be good. Going to uni so i gotta sort out my connection etc there :)

Drawback is all my border cities are defended, i spose you could all dogpile me though :)

The funny thing about border cities is that they won't be able to defend the interior cities if we bypass them while you are gone and head straight for the vile Aztec heart :D

Sorry i forgot to add, 'only my elite high tech troops are kept for the inner cities'

I could use a dogpile. I don't have enough fuel flowing through the English empire.

So everyone declare on Whomp? .... I'm cornfused

Sure. Bring it. I could use West Point like Dave. :smug:

Whomp, give me the tech to build West Point and you can have the first 10 units it produces. :)

I beg to differ Miss Elizabeth....

Wal-Mart in the UK (http://www.asda.co.uk)

I searched, and they've been there since July of 99. Good grief, do you not have an economic advisor!?!? :lol:

Also, I read that they are in China, Indonesia, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Argentina, Canada, Brazil, South Korea, Japan and Germany as well. 17% of their annual profits are outside of the US. So there :p

Cool. I wonder if they can get jars the size of your head of Hoppers treacle, McVities mini cheddars and Jacobs Twiglets?


Brilliant!!

I had to look this one up. Considering grandpa's age *points up at Whomp* I'm assuming it has to be the first one. Note the word in the def "obsolete". ;)

Treacle is an obsolete pharmaceutical term for a medicinal salve, usually given for snakebites, poisons, and various diseases. In the Middle Ages, wells that were believed to contain curative water were known as "treacle wells".
See also treacle mining.
Treacle is another word for molasses.
Treacle is a substance used to season a bagpipe bag to keep the bag airtight, and to allow moisture to dissipate. Common ingredients might include beeswax and honey, and secret ingredients.

yeah, I timed out this morning and am still timing out

dang it...now I dont have enough time to kill Mauer...

dang it...now I dont have enough time to kill Mauer...

Oh well...HEY Tubby...look out.

Hey back off, Tubby's mine, go bother theoden or something:p

nah if Dave couldnt kill off Theoden...I surely couldnt. Tubby your threats are the only thing keeping you alive....

Theoden gave me more techs than you did robboo. :)

Theoden gave me more techs than you did robboo. :)
I wouldn't use the word 'gave'... the deal was actually in my favour in terms of commerce. :p Shows that trying to conquer my city-state has a very bad risk/reward ratio. ;)

I'm back, and I'm still alive! I can't believe those toothless English swine didn't sneak in and steal everything. Theoden, I'm not sending units, but I was thinking about declaring on you just to get some kind of controversy started. How's it sound?

We have lost our connection to the Pitboss!
Exiting to main menu...

I guess that's not a good thing? :hmm:

Could be your connection. It said that to me once and that's what the problem was. I have DSL too, so it's possible. It's not showing the upload disconnected on the civstats page.

it happens to me many a time, generally when i have too many things running at once, its you not the game itself :)

I guess that's not a good thing? :hmm:

I had the connection drop a couple of times before, unless its the actual server you should be able to reconnect

I logged in this morning with no problems

2) The games down

The guy who doesn't have a civ to log into anymore:D

The only two guys that could be whacked in one turn would be RM or Theoden. Even with rails I'm not sure even Mauer could be killed in one turn

I think people are getting whacked however much as i would like to go watch the games down for me too :(

yeah peopel are gettign whacked.
man come on game....get back up

Who is it? Come on you freaking dorks.. own up to your bloodshed.

you can see from civstats who's been wacked... to an extent anyways :)

Rumor has it that you guys already knew because someone has opened their mouth.

Today's new song from Led Zeppelin...

The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom, And walked the night alone.

Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
The dark Lord rides in force tonight, And time will tell us all.

Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, Rest not to lock your homes.

Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them all.

I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley below,
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow.

The apples of the valley hold, The seeds of happiness,
The ground is rich from tender care, Repay, do not forget, no, no.
Dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light.

The apples turn to brown and black, The tyrant's face is red.

Oh war is the common plight, Pick up your swords and fight.
The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know.

Oh, well, the night is long, the beads of time pass slow,
Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.

The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath,
The drums will shake the castle wall, the ringwraiths ride in black, Ride on.

Sing as you raise your bow, shoot straighter than before.
No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold.

Oh dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back. Bring it back.

At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by,
With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes.

Ooh, Bring it back, Bring it back...

I am in the know too now.. since as Whomp put it "someone has opened their mouth."

Dave, get ready for some more free stuff on top of what Whomp has given you. :D no return gift expected or needed.

well he who is NOW in the know will be helping one side due to some intense MSN diplo. Just make sure each of you check with your allaince members before shooting someone. I hate to see all that work go up in smoke.

hmmmm...ahhhh all of them..They are much to far for you to rule over.

Napoleon was running our country then. He wasn't French, he just told us what to do. He convinced us to invade Russia. They were destroyed before we exiled le Premier Consul to Saint Helena.

Tubby
I wont even bother discussing the ethic of your stunt, you wouldn't understand anyway but why only gift dave sigmas old cities, why not yours too while your at it.

@ Dave unless you want a war i'd get rid of those cities quickly

I offered the cities back to Tubby. If he doesn't accept you are welcome to declare war and capture them.

Rome is sad to announce that we shall no longer support the economies of our friends through our tourists having to go to their lands to see beaches. For too long have we been surrounded by land, and our people want to go deep sea fishing. As such we have claimed the territory and beaches of Theoden. Our troops mearly need to shed some blood first to make it a formality.

I'm thinking of building a hotel Meleager right next to the coast... or maybe an offshore map of the world Dubai style. Your all welcome to come, just wait till we've killed all the current sun bathers first so that their will be room on the beach.

What makes you think that you can do what Dave couldn't? :p

And I don't think I've approved of your massive tourism to the Inca lands... we don't like the idea of romans infecting our beautiful beach, especially when you can't appreciate it for other qualities than sunbathing. ;)

I am not to concerned with the Romans. Ther are a good bunch of guys who have worked with me in the first war of the game.

I however am sad to see you go Theoden.

oooo am i the only one not involved in this war then :)

Mauer is free of any war committments. As am I for the time being...

oh and RM......

mauer you wanna change this, we can scap it out if you want??

Robi, You really aren't one to be talking about ethics.

And gifting cities was already talked about and was deemed ok by all IIRC. I refused the trade of the cities. I'll let you guys sort it out. I abided by the rules set forth in the earlier in the game. Whether that was the right thing to do or not, I don't know. But I'm not letting someone who has been fighting to see me die for about a hundred turns get them. without going through someone else first.

If everyone agrees that I should take them back, I will and then empty the cities so that Robi can come and get them.

if we agreed it was ok then sure by all means gift away.

George gifted me a city...I did not ask for it. I kept it since I had my eyes on it anyway. :)

I'm not the one who went back on an agreement. If you expect me to be friendly with you after that then your kidding yourself. As for the 100 turns, i don't know where you pulled that number from, i'm not sure if we had even met each other.

You know very well gifting cities that are under attack is not allowed, just really depends on whether you would say they were under attack or not, but that aside i don't really care whether you gift them to someone or not because i'm coming for them either way so play on.

Finally I have no personal issues with you, i just have a problem with some of your actions in this game and have acted accoringly. If you have a problem your free to PM me

For the record, and I'm sure Robi_D will confirm this if asked, the city I gifted was not under attack at the time. It may have been in the future, but the enemy troops were at a different city at the time.

i'd look but im sure your all aware of my crappy machine struffling to deal with pitboss but just wtf is everyone going on about?

Tubby gifted Dave cities. George gifted me a city. There were no enemy troops approaching it...I can vouch for that as can Robi. I dont know about Tubbys cities since I vacated the area.

Why did george gift you a city?

You would have to ask him as I am only guessing....But he did owe me a tech from a earlier trade. Again..I havent talked to George so I have no clue.

/Robi is cool with it...as I have talked to Robi since then.

I don't really wish to get bogged down into the technicalities over what happened. We all know we are not suppose to gift cities that are under attack, what it gets down to is when you would consider a city under attack.

As far as Yort-Sirap is concerned, no units were near it nor where they heading towards it, Quicker than U had units in the area and they were heading in that direction. I guess it comes down how close units have to be before you consider a city under attack. I'm sure everyone would have a slightly different view on the matter, and i'm happy to continue the game. The change of ownership wont be changing my objectives.

Hey, why do I miss out on this city gift giving... I feel left out :cry: I always have to stick with brute force... :gripe:


What makes you think that you can do what Dave couldn't?
:p

Bigger brains :smug: :mischief:

And I don't think I've approved of your massive tourism to the Inca lands... we don't like the idea of romans infecting our beautiful beach, especially when you can't appreciate it for other qualities than sunbathing. ;)

Hey, when it's my beach I'll do whatever I want with it :king:

If I didn't have some importance I would've been eliminated long ago. :p I guess you haven't realised the implications of this... but when Meleager starts his naval invasion launched from the Incan lands you'll realise just how important the Incans are to the world. :mischief:

Yes, from one port city I shall rule the seas! :king:

Robi, there was no troops within 5 tiles of the cities that I could see. Both you and Whomp had all of your troops up by RIP. My cities were not under attack. As I said before if the majority of people wish that I take them back, I will.

Next time that I gift cities, should I ask my attacker... "I don't see any units in the area of city X. Are you going to take it, because I was planning on gifting it???"

I did mention as soon as you declared on George and me that Dave would get a gift of more than techs. What else could I give him?

I have learned a lot in this game and I've had fun. It has been very trying on my feeble brain to keep up with the diplomacy crap. I think from now on, I'll play games that don't involve out of game diplomacy.

tubby...here is something to write down...
You loss a city. SURPRISE....

Tired of being vulture and becoming a hawk or other vicious fast moving animal.

so just me, dave, mauer and RM not involved in war.

few of the big players not involved-just wish i was one of them....

edit- also amazed how theodens score has grown so much over the past couple of turns.

I am not big player.....just trying to take advantage of an weak city...

Tubby sorry...It was just too inviting.

I am not big player.....just trying to take advantage of an weak city...

Keep doing that, and eventually you will become a big player too. :D

yer rob theres this real weak mongolian civ, why dont you take a crack at him?

seriously dave how did you manage the 120 point jump this turn?

Why did george gift you a city?
I'll be happy to answer that to anyone that is not or no longer in the game. There were discussions via PM about the "gift" that not everyone knows about.

It seems that the whole city thing has bunched up a bunch of panties. Mine too at first. I'll withdraw my dissent though considering that all seems to be well with everyone else. Next time though, at least give me one! I might have considered ridding the world of the Greeks with you if you had ;)

Easy there tiger, i left more then enough troops at home to whack you with, just ask whomp, he'll tell you

What the hell Robboo!!! :gripe: You said that you had my back.. I didn't realize that you wanted to stab it!! I couldn't even get in the game to place defences this morning... Simon was connected and it was taking forever and I had to get to work.. I hope I can get in right after work to at least annoy someone before I'm completely gone :rolleyes:

3 new cities, Rocketry and The Kermlin might do that, but i don't know i'm just guessing

Sorry tubs, that wasnt on purpose-you know how my comp is :(

I know.. I wasn't mad at you.. robboo just got me a little hot this morning

I know.. I wasn't mad at you.. robboo just got me a little hot this morning
yep figured, just makin it clear though :)

Heh. A new military technique "The BCLG block". Who knew it could be so powerful?

lol, could rent it out or something :)

Hey BC, I'm could attack these two cities just north of my borders if you wouldn't mind using that technique. *scratches head* What? Why's everyone looking at me like that?

I will be fair and give you to 9am tomorrow for your defenses.... :) then you die.

I will be fair and give you to 9am tomorrow for your defenses.... :) then you die.
The thing is that I sent everything that I had towards Robi & Baldie. So sadly I'm fairly defenseless anyway. Their stack went through mine like a hot knife through butter. Sad really. :(

@Theoden, you have only one more turn left in the game. I hope you enjoy it.

I was taking my time... but then you decided to be a little bit agressive :nono:

So all of my gifting techs to him hasn't helped. :lol: I was wondering how things were going up there....

Well your just a regular modern day santa claus arn't you

Tubby..one clarification...

I never said I had your back. I said I wouldnt allow Robi in my territory to attack you. I guess I missed the part about attacking you myself. :)

Welll I guess whipping can save you...for another turn.

Robi_D = Germany
Tubby = Poland
Robboo = Russia
Whomp = Italy
George = France (d'oh)

So who's going to be America and come save my butt?

Spose being Aztec im probably closest to 'America' but i cant see it happening to soon honestly.

I think the standard procedure is for the French to surrender, then the Americans come and liberate their land.

I am pleased to announce the new Greek Federal Republic. With a growing number of non greek citizens we have decentralised a number of government institutions and granted regional autonomy to help incorporate the new citizens into the great greek nation. I have also offered Geroge and Tubby Rower ministerial positions once thier current roles become redundant as Ministers of Multicultural Affairs and Silly Walks Respectively.

So to the other nations out there, don't miss out on joining the great greek nation, where our home is your home:)

This message was authorised and brought to you by the Federal Republic of Greece, Ministry of Information. Joining the F.R. of Greece can be done willingly or unwillingly, for more information just enquire at your local greek consulate

I suppose that Spain wouldn't become too involved here......

Robi...Did I send in my member ship fees yet. I dont have any sheep to satisfy your aussie thrist for sheep. :mischief:


uhhh George...Tubby killed America so its his fault.

uhhh George...Tubby killed America so its his fault.

:rotfl:

I should have thought about that before I took all of those cities :suicide:

edit: Oh and Robi... here is my fee .. :sheep: :sheep:

@Theoden, you have only one more turn left in the game. I hope you enjoy it.

I was taking my time... but then you decided to be a little bit agressive :nono:
You seem very sure when you only have a 1.22 numerical superiorty... But I shall never submit to roman arrogance. :p

And aggressive...? Do you mean when I eliminated your riflemen a few turns ago because you left them in the open? ;)

So all of my gifting techs to him hasn't helped. :lol: I was wondering how things were going up there....
Of course, it's very helpful. Meleager is now facing MG's and infantry instead of grenadiers. Even if he succeeds in conquering me he will take many more casualties in doing so - which is good for everyone else. :)

The Incans officially thank King Tubby for all the techs and support during the war. Also thanks to another generous empire who wished to remain anonymous (you know who you are ;)).

Not so anonymous when one looks at Civstats. ;)

IF I read that right..that could be a major opps for some one. :)

You seem very sure when you only have a 1.22 numerical superiorty... But I shall never submit to roman arrogance. :p

You seem to forget the effect cannons have on things :p

Even if the RNG hits me bad, there are always more troops. Can't say the same for you...

And aggressive...? Do you mean when I eliminated your riflemen a few turns ago because you left them in the open? ;)
Yes, they were simply enjoying the country side...

A few troops are nothing. I could throw them around like Robi if I wanted.

I don't suppose this means I can declare war on Tubby....

Actually, Tubby may now consider himself an enemy of the Roman empire. And when I find out who else was involved... :hammer:

Robi_D = Germany
Tubby = Poland
Robboo = Russia
Whomp = Italy
George = France (d'oh)

So who's going to be America and come save my butt?
Hey, I'm Italy, whomp can have some other country :mad:

could be Britain, especially with his attepmtped 'British' place names but what does that make me and Dave?

I just added a new British city. It's now called Windermere. :devil:

I just added two...a few arty kills machine guns quite good.

Theoden's lucky that I'm not in a rush and decided to attack Tubby instead.

I have also gotten some very interesting information on the other nation supporting Theoden, and they better watch their back.

Wow you guys are killing me very slowly... In hindsight.. rails to all of my cities probably wasn't the brightest idea :wallbash:

Robi_D = Germany
Tubby = Poland
Robboo = Russia
Whomp = Italy
George = France (d'oh)

So who's going to be America and come save my butt?


I'm confused:confused:
I'm Greece arn't I. Regentman Germany or at least was before he became and autonomous Mongolian Province.

And if i am germany now does that mean i get Panzers:D

I believe that George was making comparisions to WWII ;)

I believe that George was making comparisions to WWII ;)

I see, so no Panzers:(

Still i think he got the comparsion a little off in my opinion but i wont complain since he is having a rough time at the moment

Theoden's lucky that I'm not in a rush and decided to attack Tubby instead.
I think I'll go for the award Longest Surviving City State. :) So, when is the next estimated elimination day? ;) (I think I've had about four...)

I have also gotten some very interesting information on the other nation supporting Theoden, and they better watch their back.
Sorry to say it, but you've got the wrong guy. :lol: And if you're basing your intelligence on the civstats page like Whomp suggested, I can tell you that civstats holds absolutely no clue as to who the anonymous civ really is... However, I think I've found out from what information some might misconclude who the civ is. ;)

I saw Robi gifting him some techs & units so as to slow you down Meleager.

yeah thats reliable...

Hey Theoden...you better make that settler find a place to settle soon..otherwise its going to die when your city dies.

Mel...how much will you give me to kill his settler over here by the area of George/Tubby and me. I would do it for free but if you want to conitinue our present arrangements for longer..thats cool to.

:D just trying to help #1

I just added a new British city. It's now called Windermere. :devil:


did you know thats an actual place near where my family home is before you did it?

OH OH...Whomp said he had a fling with some British girl near there about 18 years ago.... :mischief:

did you know thats an actual place near where my family home is before you did it?
I did not but I had a fling there about 17 years ago.

Well thats cool, good job the family has only been living there for a few years :)

My information comes from more reliable sources then civ stats. Civ stats would have me believe someone has been supporting you who has not. It is just as well that the Roman people are smarter then the true puppet master behind this war or we could have attacked an ally.

As future warning, you should never try and trick Rome. :nono:



EDIT - Yes, I have gotten a few pms along the lines of "it's not me". :lol:

I'm really more interested in getting a bit more land rather then whipping out a civ. So for the settler, you can use your imagination.

but i wont complain since he [George] is having a rough time at the moment
That has to be the biggest understatement I've ever seen. Of course, it's amazing that this didn't happen in the first month since the computer on Noble gives me trouble.

Hey cheer up, your doing better the one town tubby:D

Actually Regentman was a city state before you by about 15 turns so you would have to go and kill him before you die to lay claim to that title.

If it makes you feel better you can have the title of most attacked city state

Dear Tubby,

One of my destroyers picked up some of your troops out of sea. Apparantly the transport ship they were on had sunk. They are being taken back to shore for processing. The Greek Transport Safety Department will be looking into the case. The troops have said they spent 6 months on a leaky boat

(here a chance for another on of your sing alongs whomp;) )

Actually Regentman was a city state before you by about 15 turns so you would have to go and kill him before you die to lay claim to that title.
Woot!

Although I can still remember the day when Tubby thought he was all big and bad, trudging through my land thinking I'd be easy game. Quite a different era now... ;)

What I don't get is why Dave doesn't just kill you by now.

And lets face it, you've been a vasal state, Theoden hasn't.

HEY Robi...can we make Tubby a vassal....It would be a shame to remove him from the game and allow RM to stay in longer. Tubby at least managed to have an empire and actually did something besides get beat.


Tubby all you woudl have to do is check in once a week or so like RM does.

Oh yeah..next week starting on the 10 or 11th Daveshack will be filling in for me to Saturday (oct14) while I move.

Excellent thread here guys. It is interesting to see all the drama of human to human contact and the backstabbing that goes on. :clap:

have you read all 1700 odd posts???

I already have you as a vassal, so tubby can be yours, although would anyone want to be the vassal of a vassal? Thats just downright :blush:

Yer if only lurkers could see msn logs etc.

I check with him and see.....

MSN logs, PMs and other places on the internet have alot of very insightful info...then theres the private thoughts and secret plans that I am sure we all have and dont tell anyone.

Yer if only lurkers could see msn logs etc.
Well you could aways post them here. :mischief:
