OK,

I'm on Gmail and have d/l the game file. I went to load it and I don't know the pword. I've tried the gmail pword but no luck. It may be tucked somewhere in these threads, but I would appreciate a quick reply here.

Thanks,

Coinich

Thanks Tubs. In the future, please don't let such a long time period elapse between question and response.

Turns in and I got it.

note to turnplayer: if you let a citizen in a town work the tile just before the worker job completes (ie, a mine or irrigated square), you will get the benefit on the ibt. it would have helped to do this on turn 49 as it looks like we were working the wrong tile.
See below:

If the citizen was working the tile that was mined on the ibt, the bin would have had 4 shields instead of 3. just a note for the future

Nice pick-up graham.

 

[Tubby Rower]

thanks gram. I'm still learning this PBEM thing.... and right before it becomes irrellevant due to civ4's release

 

[grahamiam]

one other thing to remember: when it says "2 turns till complete" for a mine or irrigation, it actually gets completed on the ibt, so, if we want the benefit, make sure the tile is worked before you hit space and end the turn. the worker is frozen for the next turn (but the task is completed), so watch out for barbs trying to pick off workers.

 

[Kickbooti]

Turn is up. Someone who knows what they are doing should play.

 

[Tubby Rower]

MIA has requested us to drag our feet on the turns a bit... Definately don't go over the time limit though. The have the majority of their participating team members out this weekend. I offered to play their turns for them, but alas they said no.

I'll play this afternoon if no one else gets it. I could play this morning but as my last day at my real job for ~3 weeks I have to tie up some loose ends.

btw, bootilicious, the turns are fairly straight forward. If you want to try it, go ahead. Just when you get done and are ready to save it make sure you press "enter" or the space bar or the "end of turn" button. if anything comes up that you don't understand stop and come and ask questions.

 

[Daghdha]

Let's show our friendly side and use maximum allowed time on this turn. It's a nice gesture and an easily done favour..

 

[Whomp]

Looks around and says I got it.

 

[Whomp]

Fe requested that we send Philo this turn. They are hoping to pop a hut for something else. He would like to read Booti's missive as well if we could send that in the email as well. They also are aware of our dyes city now. Their warrior died to a barb he said.

 

[Daghdha]

With barabs around Effing we should see to it that we have 2 warriors there before we send out a worker.

In gram's pic, in a reg civ3 game you would have gotten the extra shield as well. Have experimented with a settler factory.

 

[Tubby Rower]

I have turn 51. I'm playing it now. It was easier for me to play it than to write a todo for it

I'll be driving today. If you don't hear from me by 11 PM EDT then I might not have contact. I don't know what kind of internet access I'll have at the hotel and surfing the net at a customer's site is a

The turn is in if anyone wants it... I have to be in to work tomorrow night, so I'm trying to turn my day into night and vice versa so I'll be sleeping during the day from now on.
