    Sorry I've been absent for so long but RL is just crazy at the moment. Better mark me as skipped for the next week and I'll see how things stand then. Ted

    Sorry I've been out of touch guys, but I got called away on Friday with a family emergency :( Looks like you've managed OK without me so I'll try and get caught up over the next couple of days. Ted

    Pre-flight checks… OK :goodjob: Pre-turn (70): TK grows (on load) - Wheat NOT in boundary :( - but it is our next natural expansion so I decide to hang onto the gold and not buy Buy Iron tile at SS (110) Start Trireme on "The Voyage Home" - no side trip to Vulcan though :) MM SS to...

    @leif: OK, got the stacking thing in my head. @AlanH: Oh dear... :mischief: I'm on turn 79 and the Greeks declared IBT :mad: I'm going to finish off tomorrow as I've had a few glasses of wine and I don't want to wreck the game by under-performing under the influence :) Here's a taster...

    Back on deck! A bit later than I planned but the promise of a fat, juicy steak and a couple of glasses of nice wine swayed me from my course. What can I say? I'm easily led :) Thanks for the comments and advice guys. I'm digesting them and will probably spend quite some time assessing my...

    I'm at the beginning of turn 77 and France have just declared on us. Here's a shot of the situation just before the end of turn 76 - the CA retreated to the Marble before EOT. Here's the DoW I plan on letting him come to us unless anyone else has a brighter idea :) As an aside I've...

    Space 5 - Old hands can be newbs too, getting back in the game

    I 'll keep an eye on the situation and see what happens :scan: War prep is the way I'm planning on going. Barracks are still running in TK, I started a Spear in M-BR (in case of Greek attack) and the SS's CA should complete this turn. I think we'll be in for a fair amount of war in the...

    I tried reloading but that didn't seem to help :( Then I exited, restarted & reloaded and this time the Mine & Pasture completed :confused: Also the (new) Worker assignments are now showing correctly in Military overview :crazyeye: I guess I'll just have to keep an eye on the Workers every...

    Space 5 - Old hands can be newbs too, getting back in the game

    I've only played the first complete turn but each time I've pressed the "Next Turn" button (pre-turn & end of turn 1) the Workers on the Iron & the Cattle come up as units needing orders so I've re-applied the orders but when I look in the Military Overview they have no orders :( Any...

    Thanks for the info :thumbsup: Noted. Noted. I doubt if I'll get to the point of declaration in my turns but if I do then I'll probably puppet initially allowing future players to decide when the best time to annex. I'm going to play now and hope to finish my ten in one sitting if...

    I didn't look at trade possibilities but will certainly try for the Silver. How do you know that? Not being argumentative, just curious. I'll check our Gold income possibilities after HG and probably pop one more workboat before switching to Swords and Archers. Agreed. See response to HG...

    I've looked at the save now. Everything's coming along nicely :goodjob: M-B. Here's the general outline for my turns. Comments/advice welcome. Objective(s): Prepare for assault on Orleans, Paris and Lyon. I'm thinking that the Wines & Copper gained From Orleans and Paris will offset the extra...

    Looking good AlanH :goodjob: Sorry I wasn't around much yesterday but I had a busy day and it was our wedding anniversary so I thought staying away from the computer would be a wise choice. :lol: Hopefully I'll be able to have a look at the save this afternoon and get up to speed with...

    Nice work AlanH :goodjob: I can't look at the save but all seems well. Not much to add except to echo the "Too much to do, not enough resources" cries of the others :) @M-B: I think the Barb worker will have the triangular stone hammer icon so should be easy to spot. Ted
