I started watching over my brothers shoulder and 'playing' (to a very low degree of success) with civ1 when I was about 5. The game expanded my young vocabulary through that and civ2...not many others my age new the word 'Tenochtitlan' lol

Yeah not too crash hot on the calling Take2 in NSW...long distance phone call not nice. Next time i'm near one I'll have to drop into local EB. And I didn't notice the search function, thanks for pointing it out...I havn't been on the forumns in at least a year I think haha, been upgraded since...

Open I didn't take notes every turn but heres what I got: Opening Moves: I moved the worker west and then roaded the wheat. Settler went North and settled. Chichen Itza created a few warriors then a settler than proceeded to set up for settler factory. Expansion went well, claiming the silks...
