why on earth did you check "no technology trading" in the options?

Played 3760 and sent to kneark.

How come borders can't be crossed yet? Actually, is there any diplomacy ingame? I'm a noob to PBEM

Ankaa - The no tech trading was an original option. None of us complained so he kept it that way.

Gilamesh - Need writing in Civ-4 before you can cross borders. Since we're humans, its up to us to by pass that rule or not. Depends how trusting your are having military passing by your undefended capital or not.

Speaking of which - I've found that people are quiet until they meet within the game. Then emails, posts and private messages can be ued for the 2 Civs to talk (by the way, did you get my messages?).

 

[Gilgamesh9999]

Yup I did, nice bluff, had me seeing red for a while.

The starting locs are so close, why did everyone insist on such a small map?

In talking to other players, most people have it checked to promote competitive play. Trading techs practically forces everyone to trade in order to compete.

We are already seeing that some people are right on top of each other. If those neighbors were to start trading techs before the rest of us have even met another civ, that provides those two neighbors an enormous advantage.

The people that spoke up wanted a small map. I actually upped the size a level since there were 6 people.

 

[Ankka]

I like the map.

I didn't know humans could trade techs before alpha, though, if it is so, I do support the no trading - rule.

Back from Mexico, played and sent 3760 B.C.

 

[bamf226]

Did you have fun?

 

[kneark]

It was alright. Built the house faster than we ever have over the last three years. We also had more jerks than we ever have had over the last three years. One junior had flour and water poured all over him in his sleep on the very last night.

Owell. At least high school is pretty much over finally.

Viva la Mexico...or...something...

I got the file... can't play until about 5 or 6 ET this evening.

 

[Ankka]

Please tell the time in hours left before playing and not in local timezonetime, since not everyone is from the states.

That makes it a lot easier to figure how much time there should be left to recieving the save.

 

[bamf226]

ET = -5 GMT. Assuming SV plays tonight, you will have the file before noon your time.

 

[SV110MHH]

Sent off to Bam 7:15 ET

 

[bamf226]

Played, set to ankka

 

[Ankka]

Haven't got it.

 

[bamf226]

I'll resend when I get home. If you don't receive the file from me, send me an e-mail. I'll respond to that much faster as I am not able to visit CFC frequently.

 

[bamf226]

Found the last save file from SV and replayed the turn here at work. Resent file to Ankka.

 

[Ankka]

Internet connection was broken for two days, I apologise for the delay.

Glad you got it fixed. Amazing how disconnected you feel when you lose that.
