Yop I just finished playing 990 to 1100 AD -- and was ready to post my reply when -- I saw your follow up. Would you like:

a) my continuance from 1050 to 1200 (I haven't seen much of the world, just fooled around with what was available)

b) my turn from 990 to 1100 & we can step back to ten turns each

c) option a) with a post of what the world may have seen?

I'll hold off for a bit (but if I don't hear soon, I'll just continue from where you left off at 1050.

Do you want me to start another successiongame? Well, I'll do it, but will you participate?

 

[Adler]

I will participate ^^

 

[Yop73]

Is it good as the game is deity? I'm not experienced in Deity, but I would like to give it a try. I'll look for a good start, and maybe a top player is willing to participate with us ...

 

[Old n Slow]

Yop,

I’ll have a go tonight & if appropriate, do a wrap. nice job by the way not only with these few turns but throughout the game.



Yeah, I’m good for another game -- I’ve played at deity a few times, but won’t claim master status.

We may want to go for a mid size map (rather than large).

 

[Old n Slow]

I downloaded the file twice -- both times "Fail to Load ". One problem might be the lack of an entire file -- most of the previous saved games were on the order of 150mb. This saved file was 100mb .

Yop you can either finish or repost.

oops, sorry
