sgrig- I still only have 2 cities (and actually a good portion of AI civs also have only 2 cities), but I've already got the Pyramids in Moscow and I'm at war with Germany!
Whoa!, I to started one, the time scale seems pretty exact. And actually somehow, unexpectedly, balanced!!!
I played as Poland, and once I had seen that Russia was wide open, and I had 3 warriors, I charged straight for them, I decided to take a downward rout, taking Kiev, Kharkiv (sp?), and Rostov, by the time I was at the borders of Rostov, they had a spearmen there, and two warriors headed for Minsk.
I did a daring maneuver with my Queen and killed one, and 2 turns later, had the defense of Minsk to kill the second, but more started appearing, and I had to act fast, but for some reason, Russia's warrior started running back upwards (and out of site) I figured someone else was at war with them, and decided to leave my cities once more and send my Warrior down to Rostov, Where I had left my other warriors (the ones that took Kiev and Kharkiv), as I didnt think 3 warriors would be a match for the spearmen of Kostov, by the time backup arrived, I started seeing one or two, Russian warriors coming back towards Minsk, and, long story short, I took Rostov and offered peace, they declined, so I attacked a city called Ryazan, which I took then lost, and then they came to me and offered peace. I accepted.
For some reason they had a distraction from the north, which seems to have saved me, because a couple of turns later, I saw many warriors circling my borders. And I knew I would either be dead soon, or dead later so I was surprised when the Celts attacked the Russians! So I attacked the Russians also, but Was defeated pretty quick, and in a bad move sent out all my warriors to defend, Minsk, which led to my ruin. And soon my Queen was running through the middle east, then Africa, where I committed suicide (I went to Africa So I could see a Dino

)
Kanaric- I would be interested in playing the game as well.
Hmm, I see the start of something big here!??!?! When will you start the new thread?
