It seems that there is a serious shunning happening in the village north of Knossos...

Oh, and I see the Greeks have started excommunicating people now. That's what you get when you adopt Theocracy...

Naw, that's the mayor's house, he's too good for the common folk.

Part Trois. PimpBob waits calmly in the shadows.

Ah, but that is why I said it! Everyone must learn the history of Pimpbob.
Well, while this one is still going strong, I'll post another:

I had something similar happen a few games back. I figured I'd lose my worker stack for one turn and then my axe would show up, beat the barb, and rescue my workers. Instead, all the workers disappeared. I thought they'd be captured and stuck on that tile, like when I capture AI/barb workers.

All good players delete workers in those situations. MP players even leave their workers exposed as bait.

I should think a better player would check on their workers as the start of the turn (before other units move) when you can make 'em stop what they're doing and turn tail and run.

I've used mine for bait in sticky situations. And I wouldn't delete them, because I know they are deleted anyway by the AI, and if I had any luck he would attack my warrior.

yup they do...

Workers carrying out a move order may still end their turn next to a barb unit.

The thing is, the worker didn't see the barb, and by the time it did, it had already completed all of its moves.

Even though the rest of the empire can see the barb just fine
... Bad implementation. It really forces you to move all your units tile by tile manually (which makes you wonder why they gave you the option to cue in autotasks at all).
I was playing Monarch pangaea and after vassalizing Ethiopia and England just went for culture/space victory, with Hatshepsut kind of close behind. The game was won and on autopilot, so I built hundreds of spies and sent them to Thebes, and methodically killed all improvements AND rails in the small cross around it. I also killed the airport with espionage. When I clicked on Thebes, I expected there to be no resources in there.
How does Thebes get resources? Is it the river? Is it possible to deny resources to an entire enemy civilization by excluding the capital from the trade network? (I did this in a C3C game once to Gandhi and it seemed to work...). What am I missing? I thought I understood trade but... (is it their FP... BTW, I have Versailles).

Yes, it's the river. Thebes is on the river, Eqypt has sailing (I think that's necessary?) therefore resources come in up the river - even in this screen shot we can see a railroad touching the river - that's all it needs...
Yeah, it's the river. It can go on the railroad up to the river, then from the river to Thebes.
If you cut off all the roads touching the river, Thebes would be cut off, but that might not be worth the effort. It would probably be easier to just attack Thebes.

Yup. That's right. And even once the river has been disconnected from the railroad network you would still have to blockade the mouth of the river to the ocean in the east!
Their trade network is persistent! The king of Egypt himself will ship his spaceship parts up the river on his personal caneo!
