Believe me there will come a point in time where I'd prefer to stand aside so one of the Grumpys or experienced PBEMers do some .

Come war time, some of us grumpy old guys will love to For right now you guys are doing a great job. I like watching.

Where's the "Genghis, Gorm, Rik, Bugsy" alliance gone too ? ...

I miss those guys. I haven't heard from either one in about 15 months. Last I heard Genghis was finishing school at UNC and gorm was in Angola on an oil rig.

The D'nuts popping a, too, early 2nd city is interesting. If it's not just plain stupid it may be part of some thought out tactic, right? It might be that they have multiple food bonuses in starting area and figure that will compensate for no granny? Or maybe they're planning on an early invasion getting rax up. I'd bet my 2 kroner on the latter. That would underscore Whomp's note that:

So they'd have to research BW, WC or go for their UU wheel and HBR the way I see it.

My logic says Iros want veteran MW's soon and that we, if on same cont, could use some sentry.

 

[Tubby Rower]

That's what Dunderhead is for. If they are on the same continent as us. It'd take them a while to get HBR and a couple of Mounties up in our direction. By then Dunderhead will be pumping out some units.

Absolutely, and some should be sent out on scouting and not stay as MP's.

Well I'm going to move over to the Dept. of Military Thread for this conversation. It hasn't been used at all yet.

The Supreme Geek MM'ing the forum

What's funny is I won't do it in my SP games. I just get "distracted" at work and love these types of games where it's more of a learning exercise than a competition

 

[gmaharriet]

I presume you've all seen the post in the main team multi-player forum about only the 1st team getting to see the Great Books info. I know Tubby replied and a few members of other teams. Provo is against it. What do the rest of you think? I think the information would be useful, even though the status can change quickly.

 

[Daghdha]

I am not in a hurry to get intelligence on other nations, in fact, I rather prefer to plan without looking to the side

Raaaaaajt

 

[IroquoisPlisken]

Has it been confirmed that Team Doughnut WILL see them? If they will, the only logical decision would be to let all teams see it. I don't see why there's any reason for discussion.

 

[Daghdha]

[muse] How shall we proceed with the MM'ing when number of cities grow? It will be much work for Tubs to plan them all. Is it a good idea to assign 1 or 2 cool dudes to each city, as gov's? They could then do the math and post instructions for the turnplayer in the dept of turnplay. Tubby does it so well that we would be well of he did it all, but I'm not sure he wants to or does he? [/muse]

 

[Whomp]

I think that's a good idea Dagh. Maybe the city you name is also your responsibility to understand (or get help) with its interworkings. Those on the back end should chip in where their strength is.

 

[Tubby Rower]

I'm fine with doing it for a while. CAII really helps because it will tell you what is and will get wasted. The only thing is that I'm leaving @ the end of Oct. through the middle of November. I'm trying to line up a laptop to take with me in order to keep up but I don't know if it is going to happen.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

 

[Whomp]

OK who else has CAII? I will DL CAII but I haven't loaded it since my Civ laptop has slowed a bit.

For you computer literates....
How do you check and get rid of spyware?

 

[Kickbooti]

Wow. I must say that our settler factory is really (re)producing.

How about a nice latin motto for K.I.S.S.? Something like victum per gravida - conquest through pregnancy.

After all, it will be centruies before cable TV is invented, our loyal citizens have to have something with which to occupy their time.

I used to have CAII and I will again very soon. I recently put a fresh copy of XP on my computer (also a laptop incidentally) and I am still in the process of getting everything in order again.

The best way to get rid of spyware is Hitman Pro. The page is in dutch but the program supports english. Just hit the download link. The problem with spyware is that no program is available to get rid of it all, you need to run several programs. Hitman Pro does just that: it installs, updates and runs 9 different programs for you. Some of these programs also immunize against future infection. Note that a few of the programs Hitman installs are trial versions; you will have to start paying after a couple of weeks if you want to continue using them. Hitman will keep functioning with the free programs though and skip the ones you do not want to pay for.

I have CAII, but I don't know how to use it like Tubby does to MM cities.
