Looks like the RB forums are down for the first time in pretty much as long as I can remember :hammer: My report actually had a good explanation of why Sirian and Sulla could not get a city from bombardment alone.

Hey guys, just an FYI, I'm either the luckiest guy in history, or they have changed the rules slightly since the beta. In a current solo game I just captured Tenochitlan which contained not one, but TWO shrines, intact. It may have to do with difficulty level (I was playing Prince btw)...

Ah boys and girls it's good to see you all again. IF I have the game by then, I would gladly like to sign up for RB3 :). I just hope that my start to Civ 4 is slightly less err... bumpy than my start to the epics :P. Unfortunately though I can't see me having the game within the next two...

I'd rather sit this one out. Computer games are losing their lustre for me at the moment. Going to the Gym, playing cards with friends, university, cricket practice and church commitments all rank above games playing, and at the moment I've barely got enought time for all of those things...

What was the score :lol:

I think there were several things that changed the way the game was played. Most importantly was the fact that we did not settle any PQ 13/14 worlds. They placed a HUGE drain on my economy, and meant that spending could not be made very high. Secondly, trading for tech from the minors is a...

Humourously enough, this little debate can be related quite easily to modern politics. Do we focus internally on improving our own economy, or do we have an external focus and try to improve our economy due to external means. External means in this case being at the pointy end of a phase pistol.

I'd have to disagree Aviator (don't take this personally though!). If we wish to upgrade our production in the future, the GSX is crucial. We are going to be losing a LOT of population to invasions. The GSX will help with getting revenue from all our new worlds, and any old worlds that have...

One more thing. I would have asked for a skip in hindsight. However, when my turn came up, it appeared that I would have more time than I did. So I apologise for the delay, and hopefully I won't have so much on my plate next time I'm up :). -Smegged

Bam-Bam Smegged (just played) Zed-F (UP) Aviator Isit Aaberg Before playing, I would suggest some discussion about our next move. Do we expose our queen to try and acheive a quick mate, or do we move our pawns for better board control?

The last few paragraphs, for ease of reading for those people who have 1024x768 resolution or less. The next leader will note that they have a few frigates at their disposal. They have one of two options for their turn. The first is that they use the frigates for homeland defense, spend one...

My turn went smoothly. The very first turn, I rushbuilt a corvette to take out the transport coming from the Arceans. The 160 bc cost was worth it, since it got us to frigates one turn earlier. About April I remembered to change governments (which is slack since I reread all the notes...

Zed and others. I really am committed to this game. I really want to play it out to its conclusion. However, my turn came up at the very worst time possible for me (party stuff + return to uni + doctor/orthodontist appointments + RL commitments). Over the last 5 days I have had a grand total...

Grumble grumble. I have to fix everything around here. First it was those pesky united pooheads, and now it's these stinking barbaric governments. Thanks for all the well wishing, I had a great birthday. I have been so busy since last friday that I haven't had a chance to get on my...

Got it I may take a while to play though with all my 21st birthday celebrations and uni starting up again over the next two days. -Smegged
