    RB1 - Cuban Isolationists

    This thread has been so excellent, it made me actually bother to do a password reset! (I hadn't logged in in a long...long time, preferring just to lurk.) (Of course, the immediate reason I posted now was to declare myself the elder statesman reader ahead of ChrTh. :crazyeye: ) I did get...

    Civ was on Jeopardy!

    I saw the Civilization question on Jeopardy last night too :goodjob: By the way, it was in the category "I-I-I-I"...in which each answer (er...question) is a word with 4 I's.

    Two "Maybe" Bugs

    Not sure if this is a bug, or just a change... I was the sole holder of Free Artistry, and had built Shake's Theater. In past versions, building the wonder of a "wonder-only" optional tech would lead to being able to sell it for only meager gold. However, I was able to sell FA for...

    RBP10 - Spanish Explorers - Team C Interest Thread

    Well, by now I've lost interest in it (and I think Quokka has also)...being several weeks past. I think this one is going to have to be a stop.

    RBP10 - Spanish Explorers - Team C Interest Thread

    You know, considering that team A has apparently already finished...we've probably fallen behind so far that continuing with just a 2-man rotation won't be worthwhile. And yes...other potential players have probably been reading the other threads. So, unless there's a really good reason to...

    Sorry, here. I've just been checking in periodically to see if we'd have more than a 2-man rotation.

    Nice turn, Quokka. Despot, are you up?

    No problem. I probably should have checked the Palace closer myself; I just let it go from when I inherited the game.

    I was leaning to the 2fer myself. I can see disbanding the swords, but we may want to keep the horses around to upgrade to knights with whatever cash we have left, even if it means waiting around 8 more turns until we reclaim more gpt to upgrade those horses.

    (1) 570AD - Nothing has been done, so is this is my full first turn? If not, the next leader may need to go 11 turns to make the dates come out right. Status check: Economics in 30 turns at single scientist (Barcelona), +17gpt, 87g in the bank. Military: Weak to all, Scandinavia and china...

    Ok, then I'll pick it up tonight.

    Falsfire, Since you're fine taking it tomorrow (Wednesday) go ahead and take it tomorrow. I'll pick it up Thursday or Friday (whenever you have finished). BTW, I'm keen on the Zulu plan. We need to get an advantage somewhere...and we I don't think we're ready for taking on Rome, and we...

    RBP10 - Spanish Explorers - Team C Interest Thread

    That's true...hmm...and even a raze and replace won't work, since that cultural territory would likely be filled in by Viking borders...we'd have to declare against Scandinavia to build another city. Any other ideas? Is attempting an Eastern expansion a futile effort to begin with?

    Does an Aarhus invasion strategy make sense?

    (0) 270AD - I open up the save, and am pleased with the progress the Republic of Spain has made. The southern coast of the Home Island is fortified against agression, and the colony at Brighton shall be our Watchtower. I agree that soon we will need to have a long-term goal as to what...

    Got it and will play tonight. Any other advice or opinions from the team is always helpful. :) I'm interested to see what the WM looks like now. Just from this report, I'm leaning toward swapping Madrid back to a galley. We've got to score on a "suicide path" sooner or later, right...

    I think the forest should be fine; we may want to station a warrior on the hill to prevent a landing outside the new city. There is a Roman border that stretches to our coast, but I think once we have expanded borders we will be safe from Roman culture. (Needing to be safe from Roman culture...

    (0) 510BC - Everything looks good to me. I leave the northern horsemen unmoved for now due to the English galley. I consider swapping Seville to a Settler, but decide against it; military for this upcoming war is more important than a particular settler when we don't know what's actually in the...

    Lurker question... Does a Nuke Plant actually speed things up after you already have Hoover? If so...I never realized that.
