ah yeah, I thought it was most likely me being stupid. I didn't submit COTM12 as I was reading ahead in the spoilers. I was sure it was that one I had submitted yesterday though, completely forgot GOTM44. Sorry.

I'm a little confused. I've been away from Civfanatics for a little while, but I played in COTM12, and even submitted my humiliating defeat, but I'm not on the results page (as far as I can see). Is it a case of: 1) My failing memory, I played another game or didn't submit or something...

Is there a utility or anything to calculate the jason score for a map so you can get an idea of how you are doing over time?

Thanks all for the good feedback. I've just tried out CivAssist II and I can't beleive I've never used it before, the ability to get alerts on tech trading opportunities will save me the endless frustration of polling the other civs each turn for techs, which I soon tire of and thus miss loads...

Firstly, I decided to play open class though I am clearly a conquest class player (as I quickly found out...) through a case of "Hey it's only warlord, I can beat civ on warlord! Pah, I'll kick that AI all round the map...". Of course I neglected to remember it was a GOTM fiendishly designed to...

Rulez iz rules :D. We do not post here once we have opened the start file. Regardless of the outcome

Question: If I settle on the Wheat, do I still get the wheat bonus?

Rich didn't notice me pillage the iron, or capture 4 workers. But he did notice me take out a stack of knights with my Horsemen. I'm currently rushing ansar's up to the border to re-enforce a couple of big stacks of horsemen who are picking off the few knights in his area and taking out all...

I need to make contact with the greeks, they're way ahead too (France started as AI, then Rich took over) and I have the great library, if I can get to the greeks before I learn education, I'll leap-frog up to Rich's level. Only my damn galley's keep sinking.

hmm that's a shame, I think rich will notice if I pillage the road through his one horses and one iron. And he's got LOTS of knights and pikemen stacks near my borders, I've only just got my ansar's building up, and not enough pikemen to protect them (France vs Arabia Vs India Vs Germany Vs...

Is there a way to block a nation's access to resources without starting a war? i.e. if I fortify my pikeman on the Iron in their territory, do they still get Iron? Playing Multiplayer at work, where it's getting stupidly beardy in terms of exploits, looking for a sneaky way to catch up...

I had to quit not long after I last posted. Everyone else had muskets and was so far ahead of me, then my border cities started to culture flip. I gave up in disgust.

allanH: get feedview from here installed into firefox and they become much more readable.

I'd love it too.

Same here. I don't do spreadsheets, or mental calculation, or examine in minute detail the production of a tile, I grab what looks the best with my minimal knowledge. I might miss some points doing this. For example, I clearly don't put enough stock on "being on a river" for the boost. Which I...
