Well, I got my revenge on Onan for what he did to me and another player the other day..
For those that missed it, it involved throwing lots of money and resources for free at a more experienced player that he was at war with.
EDIT: Are we going to schedule another game this saturday? Same time, 8AM GMT or 8PM GMT +12. If that one doesn't work either, lets go for the day after that - Sunday at 8AM GMT.

Nice, we have another 4-player under way.
Played up to turn 83. Small oval map (no AI, standard CS), high seas. Surprisingly tight! Even some inland seas.
Onan-France
Tabarnak-Egypt
zalta-Mongolia (random)
Zoeff-China
Early war between Egypt and Mongolia--short and settled for peace without any cities taken. Tab's armies turned on Kuala Lumpur and claimed it as their own.
Wonders I can remember: I built Stonehenge and Pyramids. Zoeff built the Great Library. zalta built the Hanging Gardens.
Tab, you up to play again tomorrow, or later in the week / next weekend? I think our European friends are on summer holidays...or are we limited to weekends?
Looking forward to the next session.

Post when you know, and whichever days are possible.
It's probably better for me (and marital relations) if I give it a miss today (less than 12 hours). But if everyone else can play, I can too, though I'd probably want to make it a shorter session.
zalta, Zoeff, can you guys play at all during the week at this time?

I can play during the week but I prefer weekends.

I'm ok with playing a game between now and friday at 8AM GMT - It should be easier to organize an extra day if we 'only' have 4 people to gather. If that doesn't work out then lets play on saturday as usual.

Then friday it is I guess.

Second session update:
In a surprising turn of events right at the start of our session, zalta took the initiative, attacking Tabarnak's army (wounded by its conquest of Kuala Lumpur), and also pushing to his capital and taking Thebes. Resistance thereafter was light.
Soon after, two Mongolian horsemen started scouting my border. Fairly certain I would be next on zalta's hitlist (he was #1 in military, and although we are farther apart, I'm much easier access for him), I took the initiative, declared war, and eliminated the horsemen.
We were at war from there till the end of the session. He pushed towards me, I pushed back, then he pushed back again. The front went from near my borders, to on his at KL. Finally, tired of having our movement constrained by the city states between us, my forces captured Sydney. Soon after, sensing stalemate on both sides, we settled for peace.
Not sure how interesting the rest of the game will be, as a three player will almost inevitably mean someone gets screwed / the target of a 2v1. I just happen to be in the middle. hmn.
zalta is showing, frankly, superior tactics with mixed infantry, ranged, and cavalry units--particularly in 'sniping' a general and 2-3 siege units from me with cavalry. Well played. Also he has two military CS allies providing him units.
It should be easier for us to meet up to finish this off--probably not today though. Sunday good for you guys?
I'm already thinking about the next game with 5 or 6 players.
