Or Freya who we get Red Sonja from.... I loved taht movie when I was kid.
Aah. I was waiting for someone to call me on that. I picked up Tirsday from some Celtic calendar online since it also had Odinsday in it. I couldn't fine a good Viking calendar in a quick search.

Pre - Turn thoughts:
Technology Situation:
14 turns to engineering, then invention and zerks, we are behind almost everyone by at least three techs.
Diplomatic Situation:
war with mongolia, peace with all else.
Military Situation:
Weak against china, england, mongols, russia, and spain.
strong against ottomans and arabia.
Plan:
Berserkers or bust, sounds good enough to me, (and survive the mongols attacks.)
Turn 1 460 AD:
Russia start leo's.
fortify troops and make some worker moves.
Turn 2 470 AD:
spice, gems and silk deal ends, looks like we are ok at the moment, if i see we get into trouble, i will look to renew the deals.
more worker moves.
Turn 3 480 AD:
we get riots, and the spanish start copernicus, ouch!!
renew lux deal for 170 gold, maybe too expensive but we may be able to manage.
more worker moves.
Turn 4 490 AD:
english start leo's.
Spanish start leo's.
looking at our options, we may need more cash, and we are not using our horses, so they go to china for spices and 40 gold.
worker moves.
Turn 5 500 AD:
Copenhagen: Temple -> Market.
worker moves.
Turn 6 510 AD:
Trondheim: Market -> Harbour.
Rey: Market -> Library.
English start copernicus.
Mongols start Leo's
Turn 7 520 AD:
Arabs start leo's
Russia starts Copernicus.
Turn 8 530 AD:
China demand 22 gold, I cave.
Turn 9 540 AD:
Trondheim: Harbour -> Temple.
Stavenger: Walls -> Barracks.
Turn 10 550 AD:
Oslo: Library -> Market.
Summary:
A very quiet set, we are nearly at engineering, just a little longer.
Not too keen on all the mongol boats I saw though.
Good luck next player.

Ummm. Uh. I'd say good set, but you just repeated Alerum's turns... same years, same deal ending in turn 2... same, same same... I guess the next player can choose which to use?!

Bleargh. I was like... Hmmm... Didn't we already sell them the damn horses? Now that's odd. Then I compared the end years of the two latest sets.
(No offense SK, this is just a comical situation.)

(No offense SK, this is just a comical situation.
The turn two lux deal clued me in first. I'm thinking, huh? Only a 10 turn deal? That's not right. Pretty funny. Funnier in that 1) Alerum is able to play a set in a surprise return and 2) we actually manage to get two sets of turns in within 1 week.
SK probably played the save he pulled last week, I imagine.

So it looks like I get to pick a save?...lol
I'll probably end up using Alerum's cause his was done first. In any case it's all systems go for Thursday, so next person be prepared for Friday/Saturday.

So once Sandrock plays and posts, this round is open to everyone to claim a turn. I'll finally have some time this weekend, so I'll definitely claim the game. Its open to everyone else as well. If SK wants to try again, by all means claim it when available.

If we're still on this round a week from today, I'll probably play around then.

I hope it wasn't a snafu on my part, and I uploaded the wrong save. Sandrock, check the save date when you are home tonight? If it's wrong I'll send over the right one.

I am back to being around basically - i am free to pick up after Sandrock's turnset. I have had a bad few weeks, i can assure you - you really don't want to know. I did kind of disappear into Oblivion as you so nicely put it SpikeIt
I shouldn't have left you with the assurance that i had a half completed turn though - that wasn't right.
Nice to be able to have some time again
(and i want to go Berserk too

Glad to have you back Oblivion and to know everything is okay now. Nothing like some Beserking to relieve some stress. We should have those opportunities soon.

Rather boring infrastructure turns, but at least it's hard to screw them up. Not much to report, so I'll get right to it.

We have 60 gold and are losing 7 gpt which means we need 3 gold to leave sci slider where it is and get invention in 9 turns. However, each unit we produce is going to make that 7 jump up one, so we need some fundraising ideas. I thought about selling a worker, but I couldn't do it for some reason(anyone know why?). In any event, I built a couple of pikes for securing our eventualal beserker conquests overseas. We have tons of MI for the inland conquests overseas, and we should be ready for we once we get invention. I tried to trade for it but we ahd nothing to offer. Once we do hit invention I think we should go to war, get more land turn science off and just buy what we need. The techs are getting cheaper. We amy want to go to war now with Arabia before invention and take what land they have left to make more coastal cities. Everything is going to ride on our next few turns, but hey we're still alive.

Looks like a nice set of turns Sandrock. Moving along toward Invention. Mao is getting too uppity with us, but I guess we need to continue to play nice for a while.
To trade a worker, they have to be in our capital. I wouldn't recommend trading them anyhow. Its likely the price of the tech will come down in the mean time and usually the last turn or so you can turn back research a ways without a loss to the research rate, reaping in some much needed cash.
Did you try trading Engineering to anyone else? That could be another source of income as well.

Mao and the Ottomans were the only ones who did not have it, and they were both broke. Mao had Chivalry, but refused to trade it.
