Yes, I did not have G&K before, but I do now. There is method to the seeming arbitrariness, I swear. In multiplayer, I sometimes misjudge the Prisoner's Dilemma aspect, in spite of the fact that I of all people should know better. I was concerned that the folks on the other continent would...

The humbled Arabs apologize to all for allowing Rome to take possession of our lands so easily and thus to swell in size. We played an economically greedy game, and then had the misfortune of accidentally setting a Swordsman to 'Automated Explore' allowing the Barbarians to pillage our iron at...

The Arabs urge the noble Iroquois not to give in to Roman deception. Surely they will be next to fall to the Roman armies if their Arab buffer falls, allowing extra Iron into the Roman hands. We will more than match any luxury items they offer in return for good friendship.

The Arabs apologize if the location of their settling has caused some concern but the surrounding terrain left them little choice. Perhaps soon we shall be in a position to offer our good neighbors the Iroquois very favorable trading terms in exchange for their patience and understanding.

I will remind all that the Arabs are a peaceful nation, looking only to trade their fine wares far and wide. Also I will be out of town from July 24th to 27th. I apologize in advance for the wait and hope the great warrior nations of the world do not grow too impatient.

I have replayed the turn now, so everything should be good I hope.

Thanks Banman!!! Looks like it's all sorted out. You're up!

Sadly, it seems multi-player Civ remains a bit of a trial... It's now my turn and it's asking for my password. I didn't set one for my first turn, but the Continue button is grayed out. Same thing if I try 'Change Password.' Any idea what's going on?

Thanks Kyp - turn reverted. Sorry Banman, you'll have to do it again, we'll see if that works!!

Technically it's COOKIE!! The double exclamation marks are certainly important. So since Banman took the last turn, he needs to try reverting, is that right??

For those checking the thread - we are now a go once more! Let's hope this works a little better. This time, Cookie rolls the sumptuous Arabs, who look forward to peace and lucrative trading opportunities with all.

Bahh!! Curse you, Tabarnak! (wait a minute, that's redundant...) Okay, hopefully nobody minds if we get a clean slate. No DLC this time, sadly, just to make sure it works for everyone. : < Invites have been sent.

Great, looks like everything's a go then! Tabarnak is up, and let's see if we can find our 'rhythm' for this group for when people are able to play.

Ok - try now.

Cleared up the snafu with Tabarnak and so... Game has begun!! Alistair is first player and rolls the magnificent Ottomans. Banman is up next. Complete turn order: Cookie -> Banman -> Tabarnak -> Kyp Durron -> Foffaren -> EEE_Boy Map settings were Quick Speed, Continents Plus...
