What is the settings you want? Climate, barbarians, Wonders, victory types, civilizations, difficulty?

Don't mind at all.

I might try Persian as a civ though

OK, then tiny Pangea (we must be on the same chunk of land but on opposite ends of it?), everything else random, no SoZ and SGL, cruel barbarian settings with no goody huts to pop and only camps?? Then, I'll be willing to go for Celts. Difficulty may be Emperor. If agreed, we then can post a map request.

IMHO, the game would finish during the Ancient Age. :)

That all sounds cool,

although if the game is likely to finish in the AA it may not be that good an idea to use a scientific civ. For a change I think I'll try the Zulus instead. :D

akots - FYI your email provider has bounced the emails I have tried to send you for the last week.

It appears your email ISP has blocked my outgoing email ISP. This is shit, I will upload the latest save to an open thread later today, but we need to find another solution - do you have another email I can use?

Actually, mail.ru is very strict regarding junk mail. They frequently tend to exclude some domains which did not go through some approval process. Today indeed, the server has been down for 3 or 4 hours. Well, hotmail is no better and I'm using mail.ru for 8 years already. Besides, they have no account size limits and are usually very reliable. IIRC, they bounced 2 or 3 e-mails for these 8 years which is a rather good record IMO. Are you using MS-Outlook? Or the web interface? With Outlook it might be indeed a problem.

Please try akots at juno.com or sending to mail.ru from some other address or at another time. Sorry about that. It has been a problem sometimes. On the other hand, your CDZ address never gives confirmation hence I never know did you receive the save or not.

wtf has outlook got to do with it?

Don't know exactly. It is that if you don't update it to the most recent security settings, then there are some viruses or other bugs there which are filtered by the server.

btw, mail.ru is still not working. Guess, using juno would be the best thing to do atm.

Now mail.ru back online.
You never know what is going on. It is Russia, after all. :)

Well, I am a techie for a living and I can promise you I don't have a virus atm ;)

I have resent to akots at juno.com
