My deepest apologies for the delay but I have been unable to find time to play yet and I haven't even started GOTM 37! At this point I'm going to ask for a skip and hopefully things will taper off towards the end of this week and I can get involved again.

Got it, will play tomorrow. Have a happy new year!

This from Mathilda in the "Are succession games too easy thread: They have set the bar at somewhere after 1450 ad. Their last save posted in the submisssions list. Since the final save will not show up until later, they must have finished somewhere between 1450 and 1550 ad.

Something I forgot to mention and you might consider is rushng a couple of improvements with our extra cash. Maybe a temple in Tonawanda and an aqueduct in Tours?

We can always switch the heroic epic to a palace pre-build if needed but I don't think we'll need to. You're in a position to push forward fairly quickly I think. There were only two defenders in Tonawanda and I would wager you won't see many more in the existing Iroquois cities now that we took...

750 ad (pre-turn) After looking through the civs it looks like some trading could gain us the three techs we know we're currently lacking for very little cost. Start trade with 297 gold and +36 gpt Keltoi are up gunpowder and down printing press and education Buy gunpowder off Keltoi for 297...

Got it. Unfortunately this is one of the busiest times of year for me. Should be able to squeeze it in tomorrow, but maybe not until Sunday.

350 ad (pre-turn) Decide to rush courthouse first in Paris, hit return IBT: French troops move next to Paris 360 ad (turn 1) Paris builds courthouse < temple MM Paris for 1 scientist, taxmen Workers near Paris complete road, mine Defeat 3 French troops with axemen promoting one to...

So our choices now are an army, a colosseum (the most expensive culture build available at the moment) or a market, useful later but not immediately.

Ah, I see your point now. You just might be right. I'm going to read through the maintenance post a little more thoroughly to see if this has come up yet. According to a post about it in the maintenance thread you are right. Good catch. Well that takes that decision off the table. Looks like...

Good question Furiey. I'm really not sure. I read the rule changes to mean that we can disband him for 250 shields toward whatever we'd like but I'm not certain. Edit: Cross-posted with Furiey. Since we technically aren't hurrying a wonder I still think we could disband him toward a wonder...

On turn 3 I got our first GL and with the rule changes I'd thought I'd take a break to see what we should do with him. Under the new rules, we cannot use him to rush any wonders, but we can disband him for 250 shields. Unfortunately we need 10 (?) cities on this map to even be able to build the...

Given the fact that we are no longer pre-building the FP, I would think you're right. I'll start a pre-build again once the temple completes as I don't think we'll have the cash to rush a courthouse first. As far as peace with France, I'll plan on razing Besancon and we'll see what they...

That is the case on a game-by-game basis, but since this thread is about the GPR, AlanH is on the mark. The player who can only participate in one event is at a decided disadvantage with the current method of oscillating between a difficult and easy game in each contest within a month. However I...

I use iTunes for just that. I pop in a cd, it appears in the iTunes source list to the left of the iTunes interface. I then click on the CD title and then the Import button to the top right. iTunes will copy and encode the files as MP3 or in various other formats depending on the import...
