What mod are you using?

I also enjoyed that game back in 2000, but I had the warez version (sorry, but I was 11) so I was never able to save my progress. It turns out I can actually still order it quite easily online so I'll be doing that when I have time to play it.

If you're interested in city builders, you should definitely also check out Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom, from the developers of Pharaoh and Caesar III. The campaign covers the Chinese dynasties from ca. 2000 BC to ca. 1200 AD, and will easily last you weeks. It improves on Pharaoh's...

Only started playing CoD 4 MP a few months ago, hit 5000 kills today, conveniently exactly at the end of a round:

First off, this guy crossed the seas to say hello: Unfortunately he has a bit of an attitude: I called his bluff and refused and he backed down, for now. I declared war on India in 1765, and after a terrible siege and subsequent battle Delhi was taken in 1790. 1 turn...

Well it works now. Playing now, 10 turns right?

LOL I just realized I didn't patch up before I left. I'm downloading the patch, but my internet's going really slow right now so this will take some time. Updates (hopefully from the game) in a few hours.

It only happens with this saved game.

:confused: When I load the save, it shows the intro screens and then fades to black and doesn't load the game.... any idea what it could be?

Before I play, I'd like to hear some feedback if we should attack Holland or India, and if we should wait for Steel to do it? Having been out of the flow of the game for some time makes me feel uncomfortable making this decision by myself.

Got it, but I won't be able to play until tomorrow afternoon.

Sorry guys, I was away for a couple of weeks without internet access and I somehow forgot to post here in advance. It's very late here, so I'll catch up with you tomorrow. I'll be ready to take my turnset when it comes.

I did manage to get Alphabet and Construction by trading, however Asoka refused to talk to us, so I didn't get Monarchy. I completed Metal Casting and started on Calendar (2 turns left). Madrid is well underway building the Great Library and should be able to finish it before the AI. I've also...

Ok, so I'll look to trade a bit with the AI and start the GL. I don't think there's much more I can do in 10 turns. I'll be playing in an hour or so.

Got it. I have a graduation party tonight, so I'll be reading up/posting comments/playing tomorrow.
