I never would have thought of the super city concept...

A great example would be if you were charismatic (+1 happy), started with agriculture/mining, had a few corn and gold hills in your fat cross. You could build your city and add 1 culture to get your fat cross (unless you were creative and got the fat cross right away) . Add 2 population. Add 2 farms and 1 mine. That way when you start you could work the 2 corn farms and the 1 gold hill. Talk about a strong opening with population growth and technology advancement! This start allows you to pump units medium fast, or you could pump settlers/workers really fast which is what you will probably do when you hit the happy cap.

You are talking about the fat cross?

Normal cities get 9 squares, and have to wait to grow to 21,
but in AS get 21 right away if the leader has cultural/charismatic (can't remember which!) trait.

Yes, if you don't have the trait you can buy culture. 25 Golds will fill you out to 21 square fat cross. It gives you more vision without buying the squares at 6 gold each. I buy singles if I just got to know before I plant that 2nd city.

It's a shame ricketyclik's email provider failed him,
or we could really be moving this on at the moment.

Ricketyclik of the Khymer give you his leader? I am looking forward to using the PBEM tracker to pass on my next turn. :D
 
I just went with the funnest leader for me (Hatty).
 
I think there is a mistake. The first page of this thread says who each leader/civ is. The PBEM tracker says who each leader/civ is. The two don't match.

The Tracker uses the Generic Information which it was programed with and the Tracker requires leaders before it will start. So the tracker will show the generic civ for that leader. In game I of course see a different civ matched to my opponent's leaders.
 
I don't know how much of a super city I could get. It doesn't have that great of food resources. And it'll be hard to get much productivity out of it. But what the hell, I'll see what I can do.

Am I the only human with an unrestricted leader? I find that hard to believe.

Players who chose random for leader and/or tribe are shown by the leader or tribe having the word (random) after them.

As I recall, bjarkekr, you, and ricketyclik went completely random.
Chasbolt selected his leader, but had a random tribe.

And of the ones who chose....only Paradigm Shifter chose a matching leader and tribe, everyone else chose an unrestricted combination.

Resent.

My bet is that the original is sitting in the junk email folder in Ozy's gmail account. The game sends by smtp direct, and spam filters often pick that up.

My leader name is "ricketyclik", as stated in my GPS post. I changed it to that.

I had not checked this until now, but this is not the answer.

I don't think I ever had a problem before with gmail treating saves as spam, and I've received thousands...

Then again, I'm not sure if I ever received an in-game-send email save before.

Whatever... thanks for your recent re-send, but the original still has not made it.

In case there is some obscure error, could you back up your in-game send with another until the gremlin disappears?

Thanks, I was after the Civ leader, but I'll check your traits in the game.
Quite small odds for you to randomly receive the 'correct' leader for the tribe.
 
In that case would you please Alt-D your email address into your settings in-game, as it's possible I made an error (although I did just copy and paste it).

Fixed...and apologies....I guess my own email address was not copied from the To: list when I sent the address list out
 
How amusing.

I priced the gold so that no-one could really afford to buy a tech,
and yet someone founded Hinduism already...

Way to go! ...or could the ai's aggressive streaks have turned to God?

Last name (Willem van Oranje) entered into pbemtracker....

...but it is still staring sullenly back at me, without activating...

Help?

I believe the answer is under game properties? I will have to write the procedure down to refer to it when I'm not actually doing it. Memory is so fleeting:confused:

Under game properties I only have a number of text boxes available, to enter stuff like descriptions, and passwords.

There is one button - marked Save - to save any edits.

There are no other drop downs or buttons with anything like 'activate' or 'start'

If I look at my page, with a list of my games on it, Chi along wit other games, is showing as 'awaiting players'

However, 9 players are entered, and the number of players is set at 9.

I checked other pages at random, but cannot see how to start this.
