Did someone declare independence from the nonexisting British empire?

they? something? you're making me very curious.
(it couldn't hurt to disclose info at this point in the game, we're all too far apart anyway)

Apparently Washington thought it would be a good idea to hire some people to go over to England and drag a whole bunch of giant stones back over the Atlantic and stand them up in a circle.
The people aren't very impressed, but they do seem to have used the stones to determine the size of the earth. Perhaps they will bring future benefits for the society.

wow, congratulations - I must be doing something wrong, I don't think I produced stuff aquivalent to the 120 hammers Stonehenge costs.

I dearly hope so - otherwise somebody managed to get into our game without the admin knowing about it ;-)
Germans, Romans, Americans, Inkas and Indians are controlled by humans. Everybody else should be AI. I guess you had your first encounter of the fourth kind?

Haha, yeah, I didn't think Montezuma's actions seemed very human. How does trade and what not work between players in PBEM? does it just take 2 turns to complete something?

For private communication, I'd use email - if anybody needs the address of another player, let me know (but you should keep a copy of our old emails). For public communication, I'd suggest this thread, or just send an email to everybody. Normally, it'd take two turns, but if it works as in Civ3, you'd talk about a deal before your turn, place a contract and then send whatever your trade was about as a present, the other player does it too. Not sure if it works like that in Civ4, since I haven't played a PBEM yet, but we'll find out sooner or later. Whatcha wanna trade?
p.s.: What did Montezuma do that seemed so strange no player would ever do it? I haden't have the pleasure to see the Civ4 AI in action yet - at least not in PBEM... but if you had the diplomacy screen open and recieved feedback about your offer, then... sure, it's definitely not a human player

Well, I don't think anyone is at a point to be trading anything yet; not enough routes or resources; but he had a scout just hanging around on one square for a long time which I found to be unusual. I'll know Montezuma is AI for sure when he attacks me every turn of the game.

I'll be out of town and unavailable from Sunday night through Tuesday morning (May 7-May 9) and then Wednesday night through Saturday night. (May 10-May 13) (All GMT -4)
If I could get the incoming save before tomorrow afternoon, my absence shouldn't delay the game at all =]
