01[09:08] <!DaveShack> If we come across another Civilization maintain good relations, and don't delcare war.... If england , however, don't worry about offending, If germany, maintain good relations. I think thats kind of obvious though...

01[10:31] <!DaveShack> yes, logging (if mIRC is working right)
01[10:31] <!DaveShack> Fomorach?
[10:32] <cyc> That is the name of or nemisis, The English.
01[10:32] <!DaveShack> any changes before moving on?
[10:33] <cyc> no looks good. although I might move the Warriors onto that hill.
01[10:35] <!DaveShack> waiting for a 3rd warrior from the new city
01[10:35] <!DaveShack> keep forgetting to rename the last one -- used to civ4 where you can do it any time
01[10:37] <!DaveShack> IBT, this message from Lizzie
01[10:38] <!DaveShack> "Cyc, I shall become very cross indeed unless you immediately withdraw the troops menacing York"
01[10:38] <!DaveShack> Reply: Don't worry, we'll be withdrawing -- for now
01[10:39] <!DaveShack> "You have chosen wisely, Cyc. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry"
01[10:39] <!DaveShack> lol
01[10:40] <!DaveShack> there are a LOT of barbs in this game -- what did you do, set them to raging?
01[10:41] <!DaveShack> warrior renamed to Zearo

01[10:44] <!DaveShack> Cyc prepares to pop the hut next to York
01[10:45] <!DaveShack> Lizzie better hope it's not more barbs (though barbs don't often go for AI's, never have understood that)
[10:45] <cyc> No the people wanted a higher barb setting. not me.
01[10:46] <!DaveShack> was asking about the setting, not the reason

raging or restless, do you remember?
[10:46] <cyc> Never understood that? That's called Sid stacking the deck.

[10:46] <cyc> restless.
01[10:46] <!DaveShack> wow, remind me to never vote for raging!
01[10:47] <!DaveShack> the hut yields a map
[10:47] <cyc> of lands already discovered?
01[10:48] <!DaveShack> revealing location of English capitol

01[11:04] <!DaveShack> wc+bw = 154 -- nice deal!!
01[11:04] <!DaveShack> any objection?

[11:07] <cyc> no objections
[11:08] <cyc> No Instructions. Go fer it
01[11:13] <!DaveShack> deal signed
[11:13] <cyc> good
01[11:14] <!DaveShack> end of turn 8, 1950 BC, 68g -2gpt, writing in 3
[11:14] <cyc> I will have some statistical work to do...
[11:14] <cyc> Thanks for stickying that, btw.,
[11:14] <cyc> shall we continue until we get writing?
01[11:15] <!DaveShack> Tara finishes warrior, starts settler
01[11:15] <!DaveShack> yes, planning to finish writing
[11:15] <cyc> good
01[11:15] <!DaveShack> settler will come in 5, growth in 4
01[11:15] <!DaveShack> warrior chills, will escort
[11:15] <cyc> nice
[11:16] <cyc> no sending to 5 Barbs?
01[11:17] <!DaveShack> have 3 warriors there now -- could send him up there anyway just in case
[11:18] <cyc> maybe en route while the other three made battle?
01[11:19] <!DaveShack> that's probably good
[11:20] <cyc> Juuuust in case.

01[11:20] <!DaveShack> the barbs are on a hill, so odds are better if they attack us
01[11:20] <!DaveShack> and they won't attack straight down (known C3C bug) so can't defend on the hill

[11:21] <cyc> True, but they will leave the hill when we ae unprepared. Better to aTTACK
01[11:22] <!DaveShack> England has IW -- that will make a good discussion on whether to exploit our enemy
[11:22] <cyc> YUP
[11:23] <cyc> caps lock off
01[11:23] <!DaveShack> lol
01[11:24] <!DaveShack> end of turn 9, 1910 BC, 66g -2gpt, writing in 2 -- need to remember to check overflow next turn
[11:24] <cyc> move Warriors onto hill?
01[11:25] <!DaveShack> crap, Tara rioted when Overseer left

[11:26] <cyc> Shoot. Overseer was our Vet?
01[11:26] <!DaveShack> hire a scientist
01[11:26] <!DaveShack> yes
01[11:26] <!DaveShack> English are building Colossus
[11:26] <cyc> of course....
01[11:28] <!DaveShack> billybones27 is killed by the 1st barb attack without doing any damage

guess everyone's number comes up eventually
[11:29] <cyc> Bummer. Were they on the hill?
01[11:29] <!DaveShack> civplayah defeats the next 4 barbs, getting two promotions to Elite!
[11:29] <cyc> right on, civplayah!
01[11:29] <!DaveShack> no, the hill wouldn't work because of that bug... odds were better to defend on the flat than attack to the hill
01[11:30] <!DaveShack> unless the RNG gave us 3 bad numbers in a row (which it did unfortunately)
[11:30] <cyc> I'll have to look up that bug. I thought you said they wouldn't attack to the south.
01[11:31] <!DaveShack> right, so we'd be sitting on the hill, they'd be on the hill -- and our odds 3v5 would be pretty bad
01[11:32] <!DaveShack> Ouch, byzantines beat us to writing
01[11:32] <!DaveShack> I don't know if they will research philo
[11:33] <cyc> I gues giving them the elevated advantage ws a good idea, then.
[11:33] <cyc> me niether.
[11:33] <cyc> probably, tho
[11:33] <cyc> they have the port city commerce advntage, no?
01[11:34] <!DaveShack> civplayah clears the last barb off the incense hill, and sees more barbs including a village
[11:34] <cyc> What? Are these Chinese Barbs? LOL
01[11:37] <!DaveShack> England has iron working, wheel, and 85 gold. they probably know someone else
01[11:38] <!DaveShack> Byzantines have writing and a 4th city, no gold
[11:39] <cyc> Maybe the Byz spent their gold on writing...
01[11:39] <!DaveShack> with the scientist, we can go to 0% science and still have writing in 1!
01[11:40] <!DaveShack> Byz gave us gold in our deal, they must be running balanced budget
[11:40] <cyc> ah
01[11:41] <!DaveShack> end of turn 10, 1870 BC, 64g +11gpt, writing in 1
[11:41] <cyc> check your over run
[11:42] <cyc> oh, you did
[11:42] <cyc> not bad!
