Not enough played to report. I had a crazy amount of real life things to do this week. I was going to do the heavy playing today, which I might have been able to do anyway the way the day has gone, but this morning I didn't know that. I've just got incisions that aren't healing properly they...

Guys, I'm going back into the hospital. I might be having some complications. Pretty sure I'll be ok, but I think you should just skip me until further notice.

I see that I'm up. It's a busy week for me, so it'll take a while to get it played, but I'll start in on it tomorrow night.

Quick note. I have a different computer civ capable and expect to be able to play when I'm up.

Bad news. My civ comp is haywire again. It's blue screening before I can even get a turn in, and I am not far enough along to post a partial turn. Rather than hold everything up while I work on the computer again (not sure I can even fix this one myself), I think I just need a skip. I'll try to...

Started earlier. Too tired to finish tonite, will finish tomorrow.

I see that I'm up. I should have a turn posted by Tuesday night. FYI I might need a skip NEXT TIME around. Being back to work full time is really exhausting me right now (too much too soon I guess), and I have to work an extra day next (not this) week on top of it, so I might just need my rest.

Yeah, I'm the one who suggested hurting Persia would be good for slowing the AI tech pace, but mostly I wanted to agree about workers. I mentioned above that I wished I'd peeled more of them off the size 12 cities on my turn, but was a little overly focused on building units for the war. We do...

Not so sure the Zulu will be easy pickings this game relative to other AIs. At the start of the Russian war, they were the only other civ outside of the Americas that our general considered our military equal, and IIRC they are mostly if not completely caught up in tech. They might even have...

ell it looks good now. I did have a couple of anxious moments, as China has some spare units wandering around our lands (doing what, I have no idea, as they have our map now) and I had to cover cities with knights, but really, we were in pretty good shape when I got it, and I think we're ready...

Inherited Turn - Since CKS and I were ok with trading Metallurgy, and I was convinced it would do wonders for our economy, I pulled the triger. First thing to do was figure out what civ was the leader and therefore had the money... Ah, it's China. They have a zillion GPT (more than full price...

About half done. Military Tradition in 1. I do not intend to start the next war. Too late on my turnset with too little strategic advantage to do it. Will finish tomorrow.

Are you sure it's THAT big of a deal to trade Metalurgy, because I can get at least 2, maybe 3 required techs (depends on who knows physics so far), plus several hundred gpt and luxuries for this by trading with the Chineese and Sioux, two people we're not going to war with for a bit (maybe ever...

In that case, I may just build lots of muskets and ship them east and wait for Cavs. Again, haven't seen the save yet, but that would be my preliminary plan. Realistically, we've already won, it's now about how efficiently, quickly, and funly (if that's a word) we want to win. I'm not as dead...

I see that I'm up. Today is my first full 10 hour day at work since the surgery, so I'm expecting to have about as much energy as a dead fish when I get off in 3.5hrs. I should get to it tomorrow. Without looking at the save, I wonder if it is worth starting a war immediately with Babylon (I'd...
