It's a crop of this image of a lich. It's one of those images that floats around the web - I don't know where the original image actually comes from, but I'd guess it's from an old d&d book. It has nothing to do with Civ really, I use it as my avatar on a few different forums.

I think you're right on the source. I'm pretty sure I have the book, somewhere...

The casualty count has been rather high for this game.

I suppose, most people who always rush have trouble when the shoe's on the other foot!
Shaka's & Monte's stacks here are NOTHING compared to the next level, so you'd best be grateful right now.

Maybe Shaka picked me instead of Hatty (who was his worst enemy) as target because i claimed that juicy clam/clam/corn/cow coastal city and shared borders with him early. When do you get minus diplo points for sharing borders ? Does it depend only on the length of the border or on the leader aswell ?

I settled the same spot and also got DoWed while I was finishing off the other guy (see my post earlier in the thread). Settling close to warlike AIs is usually a bad idea if you want to maintain peace for a while, but I think the decision of who to attack is mostly random, with the worst enemy being generally the preferred target.

If my memory's good, it's a drawing of the gods of Lankhmar...
Your memory sure is good:
Lankhmar, Swords of Deceit
Thanks, I've been wondering about that for a while actually.
PS Sorry for so many off topic posts. Has anyone actually managed to win this one? A couple of people seem to have survived a while at least, haven't seen any victory posts.

There were a couple of people who knocked out Shaka I think. Should be winnable from there. If you can capture his capital I'd say it's in the bag.
This map will be remembered for the many victims it has claimed (including me).

Hehe, maybe you should have razed it...
We haven't had any input from the mapmaker at all, I wonder did he get pwned by his own map, or did he just leave it here to kill us all and retreat to a safe distance to watch the carnage?

My autosave is toast, but if you really really need to see a finish... I MAY get around to doing it again.

Hmm, I haven't played this game, but my general rule of thumb is that you can beat anyone with enough H'wacha. Was construction just not a reasonable goal before getting decimated by Aggressive primitive civs?
In my case I took that maxim too far. I built "enough Hwacha", but not quite enough ordinary units to go with them. I certainly could have won with them, I just made a meal of it.
I think in other cases they did indeed get DOW'd before Construction.

I'm not a fan of early (offensive) warfare irgy, and perhaps you can see some of the reasons why. However, next time give us a few shots so I can see out of curiousity where things may be improved.
