hmm.. I would have chosen the 2 food and 3 commerce tile over the 3 food and no commerce.

1 commerce... ;)
It's on the river.
BasicallY I just want to grow to size 2 ASAP, as that will give me more hammers.

The hut just got popped by culture. I got 38 gold, unfortunately.
I have coast to my west, so I am assuming that the rest of the continent is to my east. We'll see. I'll send out some units to scout.

Any dirty plans that involve your warrior and Krys' lands ?

No...
I can't see his capital and by now he should have a defender there. It's not worth the risk, I think.
I'll just use the warrior to scout his future lands.

i read somewhere that you dont suffer from WW in 1vs1 games, therefore i cant see the harm in declaring on him and just moving the warrior in there to take a look around.

Interesting...
Do you have a source on that? I'd like to be certain before I take a risk like that...

No sorry i dont but i see from kry's spoiler that theres an AI in this game? though this might be another spoiler im reading :D (all i know is that i was at war with rob in my game for 3000 years and experienced no WW)

in which case theres more than 2 civs so i dont think it applies.

Then again, maybe not...

My games against Krys must be cursed...
In the C3C PBEM an AI attacked me very early. Well, guess what just happened... :(

That city is as good as gone. Almost all builds have been switched to axes and I have bought the Aztecs and the Mongolians in against the Greeks, but Krys just caught a lucky break.

Back to the drawing board, I guess... [crazyeye]

is this why you requested no AI in our game [lol]

No, not really...
I've never played a PBEM game without AI before, so I am a bit curious what a game is like without those suckers to manipulate... :)

well you can still manipulate me. ;) Whomp tells me that I'm very impressionable.

Much more enjoyable imho. You've got to do it all by yourself. But you get double pleasure for killing your foes as well.

I was exceptionally lucky in the intraturn...

All three archers attacked my city. They all died... :)

I think I'll just defend my lands while I build up my forces... AFAIK Alexander doesn't have iron or horses, so once I have enough axemen I may just mount a small offensive of my own. :)

Nottingham certainly is, I suppose... but it looks like a long way still to your other town, perhaps rushing some cats and pulling back axes might help salvage some part of the empire?

It seems that Nottingham is your top cash and science city, so that would be a loss to worry about but overall might be it is not that bad even if you lose it?

Only Genghis was willing to go for that.

Hmmm.
Peace again with all the AI. Only war with Krys remains.
But I am basically still in the stone age. I killed Krys' units, and the Greeks weren't a problem, but the Aztecs were very annoying. I am in a very deep hole. It will be almost impossible to catch up. But I'll try. :)

bulb techs and then trade them. will help you catch up in tech terms

Things are going downhill...

It seems the AI didn't want peace with me after all.
I never got a chance to build up again after the last war. The Aztecs and later the Greeks declared on me (I'm guessing Krys was involved in that in some way). I tried to get the AI to declare on him, but other than the Mongols, I couldn't get any help.

The end is near, 'cause Krys' second wave just showed up...

Thanks for the game. I really learned something there, and started to quit with my habit of being a builder. ;)

To answer one of your questions, according to my memory and my spoiler (!), I didn't bribe any AI against you in this game. Alex declared on you for the first time before I did, and more recently I don't remember bribing any AI (and my spoiler doesn't say a word about it ;) ). But did you do it against me ? You're a bit too vague in your spoiler...

Anyway, sorry for the long pain after the first wave, but I'm a bit slow to get my victory, and imagined you could still fight back, so I wanted to improve my economy first. :) And it takes time.

Yes, just after you first declared on me I bribed the Mongols to go to war with you.

So you didn't bribe any AI? The Greeks attacked me early on, and later the Aztecs and (again) the Greeks attacked me later on. Maybe they just saw I was weak and attacked me because of that. It is just that their timing was always perfect. Exactly at the time I was least prepared to defend, they would attack. I thought/assumed that you would have been behind that.
