lurker's comment: I bet it was pholkThat stupid CTD Log game is back. Someone has the wrong color file ... and it isn't me (the game would have opened the log fine if it was). We need to run this game through the fixing procedure that Dresden put together (and find out who broke our game ... andand
them mercilessly).

Ha ... I was like "Hmmm ... we got a GP so fast to bulb another religion?" when I read your report, and then a sense of Deja Vu overwhelmed me when I read Pholky's comment on "sucks on the oracle" ... .... he actually commented on the smae thing twice and had not realized it, goes to show his intellectual prowess 
And the fix log confirmed me suspicions in the earlier SG ... pholky is the culprit. Please purge your BtS installation of the cutie sim py.

Don't you love the way life balances out. I have to skip on the first round and then I have to play the second round twice - balance.
I fix the ingame log CTD (again).
I research animal husbandry (again).
I get our scouting fishing boat killed (again).
I kill Zara's scout (again).
I finish our capital's library (again).
I hire scientists in the capital (again).
I pop horses at the capital (again).
New Stuff
I pop a great person ... a Merchant who will lightbulb currency
I get our nets pillaged at Gondar
I start it on a very slow library
We don't have 2 workers
I dialed down tech to 0% while we finished our library (after finishing maths for the extra hammers from chop)
I notice that BUG log puts the ...
[tab]80% Research: 16 per turn
[tab]0% Espionage: 4 per turn
[tab]20% Gold: 0 per turn, 168 in the bank
... in the wrong place - they should go after 'turn end' as it represents the settings of those dials during the end of turn processing.

a little of column A, a little of column B,

alright ~ tough luck on the oracle, but the war came first imo.
let's just hope we don't have about 6 or 8 archers to deal with now that we're surrounding the city ~
let's give ruff a chance here and see if he's got the time or inclination

You need to make sure you remove the SimCutie ColorVals.xml file, as detailed in Dresden's post here. Below, I extracted the important stuff out ... since asking pholk to figure out what to do from the whole post would be asking too much for a man of Pholk's intellect.
Then, install latest BUG mod that does not ship with the SimCutie xml.

The other option is to totally rename your customassets folder to 'customassets-idiot broken version never to be used again' and install a nice, new, shiny version of BUG v3.6.
Not me. I already played this set twice

so, please, help me out here ~
it must be my small intellect, but what's the plan here, besides the tactical move on the capital? What's the strategy for victory??
I refuse to begin my delaying of playing without a plan in place. (Like that? alliteration and rhyme in one sentence)

If we get Comstruction, we should be able to take Zara's capital and then steamroll the others in our area. This being Noble, they won't have longbows for a while. That's how I see this phase of the game. Once we are rid of the three AI near us, we can re-assess.

Long term: the capitol is definitely gonna rely on its holiness and wonderfulness to reach legendary. 2nd city is a bit of a mix, food wise it is not enough to support high specialists, so it probably require mix of specialist and cottages multiplied by cathedrals. Assuming Aksum is the third city, it should be able to do a mix of cottages and wonders.
Mid term: we need to reach optics first and use mass of caravels to protect ourselves from invasions. The ships control the game in this map.
Short term: we should probably send a couple of units to nearby civs to discourage their growth. We should build more ships (triremes is as important as galleys), and possibly slip in a wonder or two.

Well my set was dominated by what to do with our GP, Something Ja-something. I tried to remember it from playing until writing but alas ~ so I'll do the american thing, and all him Sam Johnny ~
So, my set was dominated by what to do with Sam Johnny ~ after, that is, i started playing the RIGHT set ~ now THAT would've been funny!!
So i refounded buddhism
but then restarted. Initially, things were good. Sam Johnny stayed in the city, and our boat was healing near our new lands
When odd reports came back to us from teh nearby horse farms.
S.J. (that's even better) had been coming out here for weeks now, secretly, with his camel, and having his lewd way with the animals. Notice that horse in the lower left can't even watch, and is throwing up!!
Our neighbors were so incensed by this, horse-lovers adn equestrians all, they even made better weapons to kill us with:
Luckily, after thousands of years, we learn how to build stuff
I stopped there. I set research to wheel so we can get some of our resources hooked up, esp. those horses.
Our worker is now corralling those sheep to prevent any species-spreading for S.J., and the horses are next. I imagine a Golden Age might be good for us right now. The boost might be nice to finish off Zara, and make a sizeable navy ~ i'm thinking 1 turn production maybe ~ 10 turns, 10 units
anyway, discuss amongst yourselves. I'm up for a whipping as Fox is UP NOW, with Ozbenno on deck ~ i'll be back tomorrow afternoon so i don't think i'll miss much.

Certainly think we can change the capital from courthouse to military production, catapults, galleys and DSs. I reckon 5 cats should be enough to see Zara done and 5 more for the next victim. Not sure that GA is the best use of the GM, bulbing Currency might be better.
GreyFox
Make it so ...
Bulbing currency is better than GA, but I think settling is even better.
Why are we even building a courthouse in the first place?
I think 5 cats may be an overkill ... ... 2 or 3 should be enough.
Got it, but I am due for a long trans pacific flight, so don't hold your breathe for a turnset. I haven't looked at the save yet, but the name of save file doesn't seems right. BC 2000????
Not that we like to abuse you, pholky, but somehow even when you play within 48hrs, you still invariably managed to find some other way to delay the game.

haha the save can't be right, even with the name it is 66kB compared to ruff's 112.3, maybe the save from your last set pholk?

Lurker's comment:
Always fun watching how you guys love each other... there are rarely more fun in-between-set times than in pholk's SGs
now you see why ~ they're not screw ups ~ they're purposeful actions taken to get laughs. I'm just a comedic genius, not a jerk
He might even be starting another soon
