Hi, first ever GOTM for my second Civ5 game. My civ crashed partway through playing (my laptop is very borderline, I have to play in strategic mode ><) so I loaded from the last auto save. I assume this is considered illegal?

Keep in mind that if we do want to war we need to finish construction and get HBR too, so we won't have a chance to start CS for a while yet. Good points about the obsolescence of axes, I guess we'll be relying on spears and archers to keep our stacks happy then :lol:. Sounds like War (ie...

Looking at the diplo screen it looks like Gandhi is the WE of both Cathy and WvO, so that makes life easier. A DP with Cathy and WvO are therefore probably both good ideas We might want to adopt FR to boost relations with WvO, that will also eliminate the religious mallus we have with Gandhi...

Ok, here are my thoughts so far. Trades Renegotiate the Ivory deal with Pascal for more gold (hopefully 13gpt instead of 4 :)). Trade our 3rd Ivory to Surry for 11gpt OB with Surry Techs Finish off construction, then HBR. If I get the second Scientist in Tiwa we can get another...

Looking at the last roster posted it looks like Cripp is up

OK, sounds like we've got consensus on what to do, unfortunately I don't have time right now to do a strong indepth analysis. The soonest I can take an hour to look at it is Friday.

Oh woops! Sorry about that, a save would indeed be helpful.

Huh, I didn't know that. I've always either used space or fortify. Good point about diplo bonus, we should stay in the war until Izzy caps to someone (hopefully Hammy!)

Actually I was thinking last night (something is a bit strange when you think about civ games as you go to sleep:lol:) that we could probably get away with declaring on Hatty if she doesn't have LBs yet, and we don't care about her in the diplo race so maybe that would let us get away with both...

Of course not! He played the violin! And the Gauls weren't "civilized" yet and so weren't willing to wait for their turn like decent folk, forcing him to boost his Actions Per Day though caffeine overdoses. So here is the set: Summary: Mostly moved slowly towards finishing Izzy...

Hey folks, unfortunately some things came up unexpectedly and in this time of school and theses sleep must take take a precedent over civ, but have no fear, the update will not be denied!

Well I was looking at the corporation screen and right now Sid's would give us 6:food: per city while CM would give us 5:food: for about 3/4 the maintenance cost. Also, looking at Izzies land there are more grains than seafood to be taken, so it might swing the other way. If I remember right...

Ok, looking at what is going on here are my thoughts: Militarily we are doing quite well, though some more siege and spies would be nice. I’ll foccuss on the spies because our military units are much better than Izzies (despite the Preats marching next to Rifles and Cavalry :lol:) so they...

OK, I've had a tough week, but now I'm back, (next time I need to drop off the internet, I'll keep everyone up to date:blush:) I'm also feeling a bit uncertain as to how to go about it. I think we are set up to try building 'phants and catapults to try and take out Surry, but I think that...

Looks good to me too, just remember to keep an eye out on how others are doing on tech, if someone gets Edu we should probably finish up lib. Also, maybe we should send a trireme upgraded to a caravel to find the Dutch? It would be nice to know where they are techwise.
