I agree that Robboo's boss is an ass. Oh, and on the restart too [:P]

1. Sure, why not. We'll draw them on parchment or lambskin.
2. I think it is possible to contact neighbors. Otherwise, this would get dirty pretty soon. May be 30 turns of peace then at the beginning.
3. He is the boss and can do what he wants. I just don't show up for work and save vacation days for long trips. ;) And being behind is a natural state of affairs. [:P]

So, do we restart or not?

if we restart..anyone want to switch civs. I hate being in America again. Sorta left out of "world politics" for too long.

30 turns of peace sounds good..especially since some of us have neighbors who could UU us to death in less than 30.

The Americas have a galley run to europe (via greenland) and east asia (bering straits) so you can get involved in world politics early on:D

I jsut replaced Mao with Qin in the WBS and going to restart now.

Restarted. There is an option "Take over AI". What does that do?

Take over AI means the AI plays for you when a human retires. If not on the whole nation gets destroyed.
So its best to have it on

Shit, means another restart. [aargh] [aargh] [cry]

Native Americans appear to have started with only one warrior. Could you check that too? [mischief]
