I have played a couple of Continets Deity games as the Venice, and only got one fish in both games, with no luxury sea resorces. I fact, I got Marble + trapping lux in both games. How would you go about playing that kind of map, MD? It would call for a whole different start, because lighthouse...

I think he failed to move the final spaceship part to the capital because of a great general standing there issue.

Yes, this one was/is extremely close, but I think more so in the middle game, when Mongolia could have just ran you over, then in the late game, where they've obviously decided to win by science VC. Maddjinn, though there were some really great moves, I think you could have dealt with Japan...

:hammer: :hammer: :hammer: Ragusa changed its name to Ragasu! Full story: The Adriatic city of Ragusa, also known as Dubrovnik, decided to change its name to Ragasu. A vote was on Sunday, and 62% of citizens voted for the name change. Mayor Andro Vlahušić was asked to comment...

Nice one. Around T180 it seemed to me that you are boned. But you made it look easy.

Oh, sorry; didn't have a chance to check out the last couple of vids due to ongoing Fallout addiction... :)

Are you still going to do it?

If the Incans declared a war anytime in the last 150 turns, you would be screwed. Kind of suprised they didn't...
