    JFD and Janboruta's Civilizations

    Never mind, I had one of my more and more frequent senior moments. It works now. Thanks again for your great work, and I am especially happy to see emperor Norton.

    JFD and Janboruta's Civilizations

    Famous work, as can be expected by such worthy gents. One question only; how do I use this leaders on the TSLE map?

    Looking for chess partners on chess. com or chesscube. Fide ELO 1950+

    I haven't been active for years, and my rating has dropped a bit, but it is still way over 2000, and I know a thing or two about the game. You can find me at Chess.com as Wally_Cribb. Let me also add that I only play games with at least 1 day per move.

    Carlsen v. Karjakin

    Not so. I have experienced him and I know people who know him pretty well. On the whole Norwegian chess isn't a larger scene than if one has been inside it one gets a keen perspective on it. And there is something which is not healthy about it. Your guess is not a very accurate one, I am afraid...

    Carlsen v. Karjakin

    And unfortunately, it all ended with wrong person winning. I feel the urge to quote myself, here is something I wrote on FaceBook after the 8th game and the ensuing press conference. "He may be the world champion but my world champion he will never be. He is just a brat in an expensive suit. An...

    Carlsen v. Karjakin

    First of all. I don't agree at all that Carlsen necessarily will win. He is an enormously strong player, but no great player. And he has his weaknesses. I have barely seen the first four games. They are rather uninspired, and who has benefited from them from a psychological point of view is a...

    Ask A Red V: The Five-Year Plan

    My apologies for late answer, but under the current circumstances it is quite a pull to try to construct intelligibel sentences. A few things. But first I notice that you either don't have the time or consider it below your dignity to provide me with the information I asked for, which...

    Ask A Red V: The Five-Year Plan

    I notice I have been "rehabilitated" here, and if the time and energy allowed me I would like to comment on quite a few things. Perhaps I will next week. But I would like to address this: No it does. Perhaps if you could provide more concrete information about how many people this is, and...

    National Anthems!

    Somebody already adressed this - it was not "stolen". And actually the current one is also excellent, even if it most probably is *not* composed by WA Mozart: 2j75-a1GmSY The very best is also written by an (Leipzig-born!) Austrian: DTV92wqYjfA

    Anno Domini: Rise of Cities edition (latest version dated November 9th 2016)

    Fix Laudon! I should really have figured that out myself, but both I and my brain ceased to be young some years ago... Anyway, I tried it out again today and yes, it works. I am enjoying this great mod and the one whole flood plain the random gods gave me as Nubia.:crazyeye:

    Anno Domini: Rise of Cities edition (latest version dated November 9th 2016)

    I tried Aksum, Carthage, Carvetti and Mycenae. And yes, I know it should be built in the capital. I usually will research Basic Tools first, and then I finish that I will not have any other cities. But it doesn't appear on the list over possible things to build. I agree that it is bizarre, all...

    Anno Domini: Rise of Cities edition (latest version dated November 9th 2016)

    Yeah, right. Unfortunately, the problem re-appeared; I can't build Chief's hut. I have tried the following: - Cleaning the cache - Reinstalling the whole game. - Reinstalling the mod. - Validating my files. But to no use. Also, I have no other mods installed.:confused: So, if anybody...

    Anno Domini: Rise of Cities edition (latest version dated November 9th 2016)

    EDIT: I reinstalled the whole game and downloaded the mod once again, and it seemed to fix my problem. Capital work, Rob.

    Anno Domini: Rise of Cities edition (latest version dated November 9th 2016)

    Yes I am aware of that. But for instance in the game I play now I have built a quarry on a square where there is no other cities to "compete" for it. Still, it doesn't allow me to build neither a stone works, stonemason nor Gobleki Tepe. As for sheep, my first game gave me no less than three...

    Anno Domini: Rise of Cities edition (latest version dated November 9th 2016)

    I just tried your mod and it is amazing. My compliments for great work and effort behind it. However, there seems to be one problem, at least for me. I am unable to build any of the buildings and wonders which requires certain improved resources, so far in my case it is sheep and stone. Is this...

    4th Annual CivFanatics Chess Tournament

    Is that video available online? I would like to see it. As for the rest, wise words. Unfortunately my future looks gloomy in that my condition will only worsen.

    4th Annual CivFanatics Chess Tournament

    Thanks, Narz. I am not particulary satisfied with my play, nowithstanding that I retired from competitive chess last summer and due to some serious health issues haven't had much time for this. As far as I can see, I didn't play any really good games. A cute mate in one of them after a...

    What's your heaven?

    Basically a place without pain, unhappiness and want, where all my wishes would be fullfilled. What to say? I am quite shallow when it comes to metaphysics.

    How often do you think about your death?

    Yes, I think about it a lot. With a nice assortment of chronical illnesses, which sometimes results in life-threatening occasions, it would be difficult not to. Last April for the second time in one year I barely survived, and I am still sort of recovering from it. I really should write a...

    Satisfaction

    No. The only thing that I have achieved in my life, and which entitles me to a grave at least, is having begotten to sons. That and being a decent husband the other time round. But apart from that, nothing to write home about.
