No deer in the starting screenshot! Has Rudolph gone to the dark side? :) Mine will be a game of goodwill to all men (unless Asoka's playing, cause he's got it coming to him from my last game).

1 turn. 1 misrable turn from a Spaceship victory and Asoka and his horribly efficient fast workers light the blue touchpaper and launch their sparkly new spaceship. :mad::cry::mad: 1 turn. 1 turn. :sad:

It's certainly appreciated by me that one of the GOTMs is at a lower level every couple of months. :thumbsup:

Excellent, well played Mad Prof. That turned into a bit of a slog for a while, but I reckon the result was worth it. Joint 3rd - I'm pleased with that. Now if only we'd got them darn Pyramids... :)

I've played. The war against Spain went well, and we're ready for our next victim. I've only sold Biology to Mao, everyone else seems to have only had a little money. Turn 0: 1718AD Steam Power + 400 Gold from Mansa Alex joins the war against Issy as a favour! He really does...

Thanks - going to play now. I'll post back later.

Sounds like we're making steady progress. I'll probably play on Wednesday night, so plenty of time for any comment. Polishing off Issy and moving onto Toku sounds fair enough to me.

This is all a little depressing, but I don’t think all is lost yet. As Frederiksberg says a couple of wars should be able to swing things in our favour. When we do go to war, I think we should be trying to bring as many of Hatty, Washington, Cyrus & Mao or Saladin with us as possible. In...

That's some impressive analysis. Looking at it the best recipient to me seems to be Capac - he'll get Issy & Louis' votes, and maybe KK, but if we were to choose a party to go to war against it's likely to be Issy, and this would fit with that. KK may be a problem but the favourite civic gambit...

I've played. I stopped a couple of turns early as the Aztec's island is now entirely ours; meaning the Aztecs are down to their final city. I don't think we want to take that, we'd lose to much of the mutual struggle bonus. Otherwise what happened? Tokugawa came and asked if we could tell him...

Ok, I'm going to play now. I'll see which way each civ's money is going, and as we can't complete the UN this turn, if I can get more out of them by waiting a turn or two then I'll do so. I'll see if we can get some war allies too, and make the gifts Frederiksberg suggested.

Frederiksberg - you asked about the Warlords SGOTM - I'm not going to play this one. The baby's due in just five weeks so it's a good time for me to take a break. I might lurk though. I'll probably be able to play the next vanilla SGOTM.

Ok, I've looked at the save. I won't play tonight (it's too late now), and I'll check back before I play again. I think I agree with Mad Prof that we might have to keep fighting once the UN is built. It'll be interesting to see how close things will be. If we have to fight I agree that Izzy is a...

Guys, my wife is starting to feel a bit better now; thanks for your support. Although I'm still doing all the domestic chores, I ought to be able to find time to play sometime in the next few days. I've been reading what's been going on, sounds like we're a world away from when I last played...

Guys - you're going to have to skip me - my wife's been in hospital with pnuemonia and at 8 months pregnant. I'm unlikely to be able to commit any time for the next week or so at least. Sorry
