Nice work on the expansion guys. The forums is SO damn slow today its tough work just getting from page to page. 
Anyway, about irrigating the cattle: IIRC, irrigating it will have no effect until Monarchy/Republic, right? Isn't there the cap on growth in Despotism, so irrigating is does nothing until a new government? That's why I've been mining..unless I'm wrong, of course. Good to see us at war, even if its a million light years away. And I liked getting the coalition, even if it wasn't necessary under Despotism. 
Now, who's up? With the slow forum, I'm too lazy to go back and check...
EDIT: I see, its T-Hawk, if he wants to play. T-Hawk, you've got 48 hours, if no word by then, I'll pick it up.

I'm up, yeah. My computer here is refusing to read my PTW disc to install the game, though. I should be back at my other PC on Sunday evening, and I can play then.
Cattle square - cattle should almost always be irrigated under Despotism. The exception is if the city is able to reach +5 surplus food without it, in which case grassland cattle should be mined , but plains cattle can't be improved by mining in despotism.

About the cattle tile: just read the excellent opening play skills article from cracker!
And yes, I figured you would like to see the coalition. Note that I was the one who thought it was too difficult in the ancient times...

Thanks for the info on the cattle guys. That's been one of those noob misunderstandings that strangely survived all the way to Emperor level...

OK, here goes. (Did I say Sunday night? I meant Saturday afternoon )
Hey, there's tech brokering deals that were left on the table.
162 gold + world map to Spain for Code of Laws.
Code of Laws, world map, 30 gold to Aztecs for Polytheism.
Code of Laws, Polytheism, WM to Celts for Map Making and the World Map.
Why is there a barb horse sitting outside of Hastings? I wake the warrior there to dispatch it.
And I think I'm getting high on all the
here. Worker mining the cattle at Newcastle? Coventry has pointlessly irrigated grassland? Canterbury, York, Brighton, others not set to highest food? Completely haphazard city placement with way too many unused tiles in gaps between them? Workers building a road on a horses tile that's not within our borders - and we already HAVE another horses hooked up?? 
Well, I guess that's why I'm here...
======
925 BC: We buy Philosophy and resell it to a couple of civs.
730 BC: Babylon makes peace with the Celts.
630 BC: 550 gold to Spain for Construction. Construction to Greece for Currency. Middle Ages.
610 BC: Spain gets Greece to sign alliance against Babylon.
======
Not much happened. I think we're done building settlers. Nobody has Republic yet, but it should come around soon.
We need to start thinking about the Forbidden Palace. I guess we'll want to go to war against either Greece or Zululand (that'd be my choice) sometime after knights, and build the Forbidden Palace in that direction. Newcastle would work, or we can wait for a Leader to rush it.

Nice work T-Hawk. I guess we should wait a day or two to see if we can get another recruit, eh? I'll post an ad in the SG thread. If no one posts for 48 hours (that's Monday night) then I'll pick it up.
This has been a little slow to start, but that's OK.

You're up anyway, CG, so I suggest you just take it and advertise for a fifth player. Let's keep this one moving, shall we ?
edit: I agree with T-Hawk on going after the Zulu first. I suspect building the Oracle has slowed them down no end, whereas the Greeks have had 2 floodplains wheat to turn Athens into a killer settler factory. We shouldn't try to tackle hoplites before we have knights at least or, preferably, cavalry.

T-Hawk, thanks for all the comments on my and other people's I very much appreciate that.
However, I want to explain one or two things:
- The road to the horses was meant to connect Newcastle to the rest of our empire. Not to get the horses hooked up.
- I figured that we needed a large empire, so I started with grabbing as much land as possible. I figured that we would fill the gaps a little later...
Thanks for pointing out that I didn't mm the cities on growth...

Can you guys skip me? I have more homework then usual this weekend. I'll be fine by the next time I come up, but right now I'm a little overloaded...
I guess that would make Jack up?

Besides regular homework, one of my teachers has just went insane. A major project due the 28th, and then another major one due right after, on the 1st.I guess she forgot that April and May are part of the marking period too.
