An Island Race

Hey McLMan you out there man?

On a general note since christmas is nealry on us I'm going to say that I don't mind if we let this idle till after the festivaties. However if anyone wants it over the christmas period then please feel free to play but try not to play when your drunk :beer:

I'm going to be away from my gaming PC till just before new year from tomorrow onwards so will only be able to offer ideas without looking at saves etc.
 
Good idea about the break. Extremely busy at work trying to get some things done before the end of the year.

Trade with Caesar: Golt for Spices
I screwed up. :sad: I make a trade with Oda but misread the amount of gold he wanted. I thought we were getting Gems from him for Furs, Dyes, and 262 gold. After looking at our treasury I realize that it was 862 gold. I'm obviously too tired to keep my head straight because there's no way I would have made that deal giving away that much gold. (On the plus side our happy rating is zero.)

IBT
Ramses is obvoiusly upset about the placement of Liverpool

Did you check if the trade route still gives the gold it's supposed to give after receiving the message?
 
Nicely done McLMan.

So the new patch strikes and the Denouncments start pouring in.

Looks like soon we're going to be in several wars. I suggest we get our army up to Rammys land then use our navy elsewhere to fend off others aggression. I guess if we had a majority decission we could even strike first.

Oh yer. Hope you had a good Christmas :)

EDIT: I'm still away from my games machien till the new year.

The Roster
grandad1982 - skip till new year

I'm finally reunited with my gaming pc! I won't play to night but if no one wants it before tomorrow I'll try to play then. I hope everyone had a gret new years. I personally had a wonderfull time and stayed up much to late/early ;)

Nice one cripp7.

I can't belive Oda denounced us. Losser

I guess keep heading for the UN and keep our naval strength up.

I'll peak at the save but probably won't have anything to add.
 
I'm having technical difficulties. 75% sure it's hardware related. Didn't have much chance to look into it last night but at best I might need to swap out a sata cable or 2, worst case my mobo is pretty close to shot. Software wise I can roll back the audio driver I recently updated to see if that's the cause (having freezes, ran chkdsk last night while I slept with no issues), otherwise I won't be able to dig into the hardware end until the weekend. I might see if the wife's laptop will run the game well enough for me to grind out 10 turns if my desktop needs to wait for the weekend. Will update status within 14 hours.
 
UPDATE: Worked too late to mess with it last night. I'll have to ask for a skip. I can't guarantee I'll be able to play within the next couple of days.
