Open your text file and copy the needed data. In your post simply paste it between the [quote][/quote] tags.
Or even better, skip the quote tags. But yes, the file Autolog.txt (or whatever you rename it to in the HOF mod options) is a simple text file where the data is formatted for immediate forum use.
For more information regarding the Autolog, I suggest reading the autolog faq.

I'm trying to do an attachment. Let's see if this works. Gotta go brush the kids' teeth. Back in a few. Let me know if there's a problem. I'm not sure I can cut and paste on my laptop, so I'm trying this first.
Worked well enough. Sure you can cut and paste, use Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V. Here's a repost though, so the others won't need to download the file:

I don't think we can send the Rockport axe to the front. The city will be unprotected and suffer 1 unhappy per 3 population IIRC, and the scout doesn't help with that. Assuming the spreadsheet happiness numbers are correct (6), we can't afford any unhappiness starting fairly soon.
I'm nervous about sending the galley and scout on to the ice island hut after popping the local hut--our clams would be all alone for a long time. I vote for waiting--maybe our new galley will hit a dead end and come back, freeing up the Rockport galley. It'll be quite awhile for that, but it's unlikely Shaka or Joao will be sending a galley with a unit all the way down there anytime soon. And it's just a hut--can't afford to lose our clams.

I believe the cutoff is after 4 pop we'll start to suffer unhappiness if the city is unprotected, which still results in us not being able to send the axe to the front. As for the southern ice hut, the AI shouldn't pop it before us, unless they settle on that particular landmass. I've never seen an AI send 'random' units to a landmass to just pop a hut. As of this point, I see no point in risking the clams for it. Let's save it for later - maybe we'll pop astronomy with it

Looks good to me. Keep the galley at home for now.
The sheet is not correct wrt happiness, it doesn't account for the Representation bonus, so we actually have 9 happiness. Since we'll cap at size 6 we don't need an MP there at all, except as a defender in case Shaka comes along. But I'm fine keeping him in Rockport, we should have enough forces anyway.
I still haven't read the PPP, will do when I get back with the dogs.

Ok, I read it over and it looks good. I would still like to see the Axe from Rockport go with the galley north though, I see no reason not to implement that part of the plan even if we have a scout coming. A scout couldn't take care of any existing barbies up there, if there are any.
I have no good ideas for Worker#1, I'd probably keep him back around Yo to chop jungles and build cottages.
I favor keeping the galley at home after the little trip northwards, no point sending it all the way down south now just for that hut. We can do that later, presumably once we have Caravels that can go straight there.

Worker #1 should only chop the jungle next to Yo if it is also going to build a cottage. Otherwise, the jungle might just regrow.
What is Worker #3 doing after it finishes the desert mine and move 1N? Is it building another mine?
I agree with Niklas - the Rockport Axe should clear out the fog of war before we move the GA into the northern part of the island. Personally, I would send him to the war against Shaka - we could put one turn of 5 hammers into an axe in Rockport, and then whip it out if anyone appears in the area.

I'll find something useful and safe for Worker 1 to do. I'd say the jungles near Yo aren't urgent because our other workers will have little else to do after we declare war.
I'll post the galley on the clams--the Antarctic hut can wait.
I'll stick with the current Rockport build plan and not send its axe to the mainland.
Jacques and the western galley will thoroughly explore.
I'm home sick today (doesn't seem to be affecting my brain, so I should be OK) and I plan to play around 1 pm EST, 1 pm forum time.

Helloooooo? Anyone there? How do i add comments to the autolog?
More importantly, Kwa's cultural boundaries just expanded so the forest 2S of there is now Shaka's---we lose the 13(?) hammers that were going to go to Pura. I'm moving the worker NE to the jungle to start the road that will connect Kwa and our cows.
Holler if I should stop because of the change to Pura's build plan. I'm going to pause for a few minutes to study it.

Holler! Yes, we need to change the plan, we can't whip at the same time as in the plan.
Dang! I thought we had a couple of turns leeway on that chop. Now I'm mad at myself I didn't think of it earlier. Re: the spreadsheet, we were basically just looking for a good place to whip for 2 pop without losing too many cottage turns. IIRC there were supposed to be 19 hammers in the bin on the turn I wanted, so you should be able to still whip the same turn, but I'm not sure you'll have enough overflow to finish an additional cat the next turn.
