Not bad I must say!

And here is my start, as erikk knows I did not settle on the spot. Hate wasting tobacco! You may guess where I did go, answer in my spoiler soon.

EDIT: Fuck, wrong pic. All those EvBstart.jpgs are confusing. :)

The (Deity) AI's grow very fast in this game. At least two of the 6
AI's have a bunch of cows near the capitol and my fearless scouts
spotted loads more cows everywhere!

An example:

Last city of the Incas, after 5 PBEMs we finally have one destroyed by the other.

They key moment in the game was when the Aztecs did RoP rape against the Inca and Erikk had to dedicate most if not all of his resources to the largest AI in this Deity game. Although I was stronger before the RoP rape the game would have gone mucho different if it had not happened.

Congrats Beam! :) I already was anticipating a massive battle between us on Chinese soil! When
you swapped to cavs you were stronger. The rest of the game you were weak all the time, not
strange with my AC's of course!

Yup the AI's raped me in the north while my army was killing the Germans in the south. The Aztecs
took 3 cities and did loads of 'stealth' attacks (out of the fog) on my units with cavs. Losing
like 6 units per turn for 5 turns long. I was unable to recapture 1 city because the AI had
rifles and I had AC's and Knights... :( I lost near all my units in that war.

One more thing: with all those elite AC's I still had a bad Leader game again! [mad2]

[ERIKK]

Ehh..., btw - I *want* a rematch!!!! [mad]

BEAM - ERIKK #6 I presume... ;)

Let's rock! We can basically use the same map request as for V but with different Civs I guess?
