hey sorry guys, I can't play this game anymore. It runs way to slowly for my machine to keep up. Sorry! I tried but after two turns it was getting really frustrating. I am all newly patched up, and had nothing else running, so I'm pretty sure my machine just can't handle the map size and...

I'll get on it as soon as I get home. Thanks for making room for me late in the rotation. Should I just jump back to my normal slot after this? Or should I get moved into this slot from now on? Game will be posted by 8pm eastern time.

Hey all, I'm back! I know I missed my turn, but if it's fine with you all I'll jump in after S.ilver. (Although I won't actually get to take my turns until tomorrow at 5 eastern time.) Mostly that question is aimed at ucel who would otherwise be next. If ucel doesn't mind, and can't play...

Hey great work guys! In the screen shots I notice M&M is Jewish, when did that happen? Calcutta *will* fall to us culturally, my guess is within 20-30 turns, if it takes that long. We're not that far behind in score, but Asoka is our nearest neighbor aside from M&M and she's at the top...

heh...that's too funny for me not to give you some credit! Sorry for the otherwise useless post!

Well I think we might have wanted to try to get M&M to convert like I mentioned at the end of my post. I kinda feared that once he saw how weak we were he'd come in. But then again I sarted those Walls in Munich for a reason! Just looking at his army though, we're in some serious trouble. We...

Pre-Turn: Our name still isn't right. At the moment we're FA1 instead of FS1. (Again, not that it makes any difference!) Hamburg is configured to churn out the Hanging Garden in 8 turns, I leave it. Berlin has an Axeman coming in 1 Munich has a swordsman just starting, I leave it but might...

Bumping this because I discovered it too while trying to be "funny" with the computer. I don't want to be tempted by the knowledge of this exploit, I hope it gets fixed in the patch! Also, and much more importantly, I've played in several multiplayer games where it appeared that this was...

In just about every game I've played I've had a civ that I have closed borders with move galleons through my territorial waters. It's quite annoying.

Heh... I'll check it out when I get home from work. I feel like we're hopelessly behind M&M at this point militarily, and might want to pop out a few missionaries and see if we can get him to convert. We need a tame neighbor to the north if we expect to last very long. At the same time, you...

I should be able to play before then but I'm not sure. I'll make sure that if I do pick it up for ndthsmdy I'll have the save and summary posted before 10 CST. Also, just to remind people, I will probably need a skip on my next turn. I won't be able to play from Wednesday the 23rd through...

Open Borders is necessary to convert M&M. That is a top priority!

pessimist is back at the helm... Pre Turn: Somehow our name became "Liquidated". I have found this happens if you open the save game directly (double clicking) rather than opening it through the "Load game" option. Not that it matters, but we are now called Liquidated in the game and not...

well alrighty then....we're hemmed in on a small region of land that's mostly covered with jungle, the person we'd need to attack to get out has axemen and killer archers, and our best military unit is the good old warrior. I'll check the save and everything as soon as I get home, but this...

Took a look at the save, and I'm posting the culture map because I wanted to see it myself. I checked the stats screen, and we are WAY behind in military. I mean painfully pitifully hopelessly shamefully behind. If I were the AI, I would wipe our pathetic excuse for a defense off the map...
