[anarres]

Thanks again ERIKK

For the lurkers I have reconstruced some info from my lost saves, and updated my website:

Turns 113 to 133

Edit: ERIKK, I have emailed you the save. Let me know if you don't get it.

Wow, I actually recieved it around 2 or 3 in the morning! Maybe your email is back on track again!

Lurkers, lol. Watch out for my spikes to pop up from the ground and impale your warriors! Time to dust off the old SC BW cd.

 

[ERIKK]

Two civs are not particulairy popular.....

 

[anarres]

We are playing again after slow couple of days, I will update my website later tonight.

My Aztec war is progressing, and the last few turns have been fun

The website has now been updated:

Always checking the games out here, and already missing playing the game.

 

[anarres]

What do the lurkers think of both the websites?

I don't know about ERIKK, but I would like some feedback on content from my website. Are there too many pics or not enough? Too much of one kind of information or not enough? Does the intro page need more? Do many people follow it anyway?

 

[DaveMcW]

I would like to see more minimaps on your site, anarres. They make it easy for people skimming through to get an idea of what's going on.

Both sites' intro pages could be improved by adding minimaps with the links.

 

[anarres]

Thanks for the input.

Expect to see minimaps on the index page, and some more in each of the turns pages.

Are the 'empire' pictures too big? I have been taking zoomed out pics and they are about 800x800 big. Does anyone have issues with this size of graphic?

 

[Plux]

I'm checking out both pages out regularly, and they look quite alright. IMHO you can never have too many pics, but they are ok as they are. Erikk should update his though

Well, I have checked and on all my "LOG ###-###" pages are minimaps. They aren't on the intro page, that is true but they are thus one click away

My empire pictures are not zoomed in and are width="800". Then they fit on normal resolution.

My site will soon be updated again. We are currently in turn 151. Here is a minimap:

No - zoomed out pix are good. You might also consider drawing some movement arrows on them to indicate your plan - or what has just happened. It makes the pix less static and somehow more interesting.

 

[ERIKK]

Here is a map from turn 11, to indicate our starting positions

 

[anarres]

OK col, I will get my hands dirty and start drawing on the maps. I though about this already, but never got round to it.

One thing though - with all my move 3 riders it is hard to keep track myself

 

[anarres]

Here is our first ever tech-for-tech trade:

 

[ERIKK]

Just when the Chinese killed the Aztecs in turn 158, they appeared in turn 159 (approx 500AD(?!)) over here, with 2 workers and 25 gold):

A rather strange location for a city!

 

[Cruise]

That is new to me. Never seen that 1 before

 

[ERIKK]

Updated:

• LOGS 134-160
• LOGS 161-???
• MY STRATEGY

 

[anarres]

Website has been updated with the latest turns:

Turns 142 to 161

I have not had time to make some of the changes people mantioned, but I will get round to it soon...
