COTM 95: Egypt!

[img=right]http://gotm.civfanatics.net/games/images/cotm95civ.jpg[/img]


Life continues to be really crazy! I have put out COTM95, but I'm having difficulty downloading the saves; hopefully it will be fixed soon. I'll put a new GOTM out this weekend, and I should have time to catch up on other civ work, but should is relative.

Nothing too complicated. Egypt, Deity, 7 AI's, somewhat more land with the Ocean setting, but the Warm and Arid will reduce this somewhat. Good Luck!

I'm new here! i'm a Spanish Fan of Civ III since i was 12! Let's try to do something in this COTM

I think I'll jump in. I usually play Emperor and have never to my recollection played Diety. I also usually play continents, so Diety pangea should be a challenging twist for me.

I see 5fpt extra possible in Despotism, but I'm not sure how much room I'll have to quickly expand, so I may not try to set the capital up as a settler pump. Maybe a 2-turn worker pump for a few workers, but not for an extended period of time.

I think I'm going to try going for Republic and rotate my wars, but I worry that the Diety opponents may gang up and really hurt me with war weariness. We'll see.

Anyway, here is my game. Alan/civ_steve, if you can still take it into the submissions, I'd be grateful to the end of my days...
