You really are talented at the commentating. I never imagined laughing about the history of bananas and the location of Brussels while watching someone play Civ5.

51. You start playing a game of Civ IV with only one unit per tile to prepare for what it's going to be like.

Silu - That is one hideous Zulu economy. Are you getting handouts from Washington (Fleme) just to keep you afloat or are you living off war victory gold?

That is your change in score from the last turn.

What do you plan to do with the Great Engineer? I would probably start a GA and hope Nidaoros pops a scientist for an Academy soon. A few suggestions:

Here is a write up my game in case you are interested for comparison after you are done. I mostly play normal rules standard sized fractal normal speed emperor. I attached a few saves along the way.

I played this map out to victory and will update my game later with significant dates and city placement. One question about your save: Did you convert back out of slavery? It looks like you revolted to slavery and then revolted again without the log showing any civic change.

What happened to all the On Demand replays? There were once dozens of them available, but now there are only two videos. I want to see how the Mali game finished last night since it went well past my bedtime.

Why do you refuse techs "extra" non-useful when trading? I have seen an AI offer you three of their techs for your one good one, but then you counter with two of those techs for your good tech.

I lost a monarch Pangaea game today in 1340 due to the AP vote. There were three civs left: Celts (me) to the west, France in the middle, and China to the east. China first voted that I had to stop my war for ten turns with France. I had no open borders with France due to our war so I could...

I want to have a hyperlink that sends an email to "emailaddress@name.com", provides a subject "My Subject" with body text "My Text" and attaches a certain file which never changes "My File". I can do everything except the attaching part with the edit hyper link menu in office. Here is the Office...

+ Praetorian + Berserker - Panzer - Phalanx

You computer is probably opening the files with Internet Explorer which will not let you change the files to "protect your security." You should right click on the xml files and open with notepad/wordpad.

Since it is a pangaea, I would almost always look for a domination. You are spending way too much on upkeep for your troops and a war/disbanding will solve that problem. Most inner empire cities only need one unit defending the whole game, even on emporer. You have 10 or so in many cities for no...

This was intentionally put into the game to prevent players from building tons of crappy outpost cities far away from the AI and then gifting them to cripple the AI economy. I am sure if you were the AI, you would be back here complaining if the AI started giving you cities that it built in the...
