The small quick reply feature was added because apparently there was a demand for it from some people. The upload file feature appears to be the same as always to my eyes, and I have not encountered any trouble uploading files. Have you been encountering problems?

To all members of my training day game:
If you are not playing in the current Game of the Month, and don't plan to play in it, I'd like you to read my full writeup of that game. Since it goes very much into detail on how I won my first game on Deity, it should prove useful to you and hopefully help explain how to win at the highest level. I hope you'll take 10 minutes and read it!

Good stuff so far, Sullla, I look forward to reading the rest of it. BTW, Congrats on your second place finish in Civ 2 GOTM.

Thanks for the compliment, but that's not me. That's the "other" Sulla; I don't even have Civ2 loaded on this computer! The only reason why my name is "Sullla" with three L's is because that other player had already taken the name "sulla".
Maybe eventually I'll win a medal for the Civ3 GOTM...
More on topic... Erik, are you almost finished yet? I don't want the game to get bogged down again.

Do you care to explain these random posts, Imhotep? Please stop spamming the thread with this "merp" stuff.

Steel guts? I don't know about that, but I was sweating bullets (literally - it was a hot night!) when I saw 10 infantry nonchalantly ignoring my prepared defenses and heading for my completely undefended core cities. 
Erik - it's been three days. If we don't hear at least some message from you in the next 12 hours, the game is passing to Imhotep.

Nice job guys! With the conquest of France, this game is in the bag. Not that I ever doubted we would win on Regent difficulty... I still have a few suggestions though. Why is Paris building the Forbidden Palace at 1 shield/turn? At this rate, it won't finish until 1950AD! By rushing a courthouse in Avignon, I was able to get 6 shields/turn there. Avignon is where we should be building the Forbidden Palace. I would move some workers there to mine the nearby mountains and I would merge some captured French workers into the city (using the "b" key) so it could get more shields. If you do this, we can have the Forbidden Palace built in about 25 turns, which is a lot better than 182, right?
We need another settler or two south of Tours where there is unclaimed land. That's where the AI settlers are heading, after all. Feel free to rush some libraries to get some border expansions from culture. A lot of cities are not growing as well. Try to fix this with rearranging tiles and using workers to irrigate.
Why are we running 20% luxuries? We control 7 luxuries at the moment! I saw that we can cut it back to 0% luxuries with no ill effects whatsoever, and gain 87g/turn income from it. Please pay more attention to the tax/science/luxury rate when playing so you aren't losing out on income; I estimate we could have gained some 500 extra gold if this had been switched immediately after the war ended.
At this point, we have to decide how we want to finish the game. We can easily sit back and win a diplomatic or spaceship victory, or we can continue attacking and win a domination or conquest victory. Either will be easy to do. The three of you need to decide how you want to proceed, because that will determine our strategy over the next few turns.

Since it's been a while since we put up a map, I'm posting this one. It shows the full extent of the land brought in by conquering France.
