I haven't played for awhile. For some reason I always have a rough time starting around the end of the second period. I'll do pretty ok at start and be the point leader, but then I start getting passed and end up playing catch up for awhile. So this time I was trying to watch closely to...

Out of the blue. I wasn't even watching the victory conditions. I figured everything was ok actually. No spaceship stuff going on. No domination problems... blam, lose =P

I decided to do challenger. Everything was going good until around printing press area of the tech tree and i got a little behind. Pascal declared on me and a few turns later Hammurabi did the same. I soundly thumped their invading forces for hundreds of years. I built up a small tech lead...

How did ya change your name on the forums?

I have no computer that doesn't do that. XP or Vista. Just turn it off in the INI. EnableVoice = 0

Well crap! I'll probably get DQ'd from BOTM 1 now. Crashed on exit and created no save. Went with the last autosave, but I didn't have it setup for saving each turn on my new system... so not sure if I replayed a turn =/ Still going to submit since it's getting close to the end, but odds are...

Oh I did say WOTM, I meant BOTM =)

I did some hardware/partition rearranging. If I pickup mid WOTM on a fresh install (of everything), is this going to cause HOF to throw a fit? I don't want to spend time finishing it to get booted.

I tried to kill off england early... My first wave didn't finish off the town. It turned into a protracted battle that ended up in my finally finishing them off in 480BC. Now that i'm nice and behind I just sit back and wait for the other AI's to crush me.

Not Necessarily. My laptop widescreen works fine. 1440x900
