First thing: we are cultural, philosophical and have marble around. This is great for a shot at a cultural victory. Islands are good for that too as you need less military for quite some time. But this kind of victory needs a wee bit of dedication from early on. You have to plan for it...

You can't use great engineers on SS parts.

We're still alive. And I don't exactly know how to use that log script :confused: I bought uranium from Mansa one turn before the UN vote banned nukes. So we can forget that, but I crippled our research with the payment. Not that it does really matter. Apollo is finished. Switched several...

Shall we let this finish in a clean and gentlemanlike way? Or should we rather play it dirty in which case I will try and nuke Vicky to slow down her spaceship build? After all she is ugly and deserves it.:D

Got it. Won't play before monday.

Many cities, but way too small. All those size 4 cities can hardly pay for themselves. We need to grow them fast to make them productive. I switch several citizen to food heavier tiles and two builds in coastal cities have to wait until there is a lighthouse built. Another thing on the tech...

I reinstalled the game and had two system shutdowns after relatively short times, but yesterday (and today ;) ) I had a 6 hour session without problems that won me a space race victory with only 7 cities at about 2:30 am. So I will try and take my next turnset here. Count me back in.

Since I installed the 1.09 patch I suffered from severious stability problems when playing Civ IV. I hoped this would change with the next patch, but it didn't :(. So I'm out, at least until the next patch comes. There's no worth in playing when you have to reboot every 20 minutes. What I...

Got it.

I'm back since 2nd january. I simply was unavailable from christmas to new year.

As I said, ain't got time these days, so please skip me.

I probably won't have time to play until january 2006. Feel free to skip me if I haven't posted a "got it" on my turns.

We surely are more than 5 techs down to everyone. The thing is: in the trade screen you only get to see which techs are tradeable. Techs that aren't tradeable because we don't have the prequisites aren't shown.

I don't mind losing. But you should get something out of it. Being alone on an island makes the game at least one level harder, maybe two so I'm sure I wouldn't have one that alone. But the mistakes that have been made from the beginning there are some basic ones: plan ahead in terms of city...

Strangely enough, we are at war, don't have markets but build theatres instead of markets and units. What for? Munich is unhappy (again) and builds an observatory instead of some happiness producing thingie. We have lots of money, but our chariots aren't upgraded. Essen builds a pikeman...
