I didn't think it was possible switching to judaism, but obv. that's the better choice.
It might just as well be that I'm really good at annoying the AI. Yeah, that must be it. Like I said, it's smart to give in to demands, but most of the time I don't. But in single player that's never a bad thing, I play safer in a SG I guess.

You're probably right about that set path, I really hate that about civ4.

P.S. Crossposting rules.

I think if they do make a declaration of war i may have to make a tactical withdrawel from Estruscan-the spears coupled with the defensive bonus of the jungles means ill be able to do next to nothing as they run straight through us.

Ok i played my set-were not dead is the positive from it :)

So pre flight check- when did we get an archer in the south??? anywhoo he went wandering
use the chariot to have a looksee in st petersburg

Pre-turn: Set research to zero as it has no value to research slower than 100%. Cancel mining of jungle hills.

IBT: Cathy declares.

225AD: Start to road our south. Axe dies to sword, axe kills spear, chariot kills sword, steal a worker.

IBT: Lose a chariot.

250AD: --

IBT: --

275AD: 7 axes kill 1 axe, 4 swords and 2 spears.

IBT: Lose chariot

300AD: Axe kills spear, axe dies to sword, axe kills sword.

IBT: Axe defends vs. axe, axe dies to axe.

325AD: Axe kills axe.

IBT: Archer defends vs. sword, axe vs. spear.

350AD: 4 axes kill 2 axes, 1 sword and 1 spear.

IBT: --

375AD: --

400 AD: Axe kills axe, axe kills sword.

IBT: --

425AD: --

IBT: --

450AD: Just fortify units, Cathy has feudalism now, only short before we could have attacked

Afterwords: We can start construction at 100% next turn, but Saladin already has it. We are way back in tech. It seems hard to attack Cathy now that she has longbows, but on the other hand we will not get a chance again later on. Have an eye on city growth and garrision; remember we are in Hereditary Rule.

We could try to sneak this double guerillia archer to the iron, but probably futile.

Ops, I read your mail from yesterday as I was up, anyways so graham and I switched ;)

is graham picking this up? o/w I can do tonight/this afternoon.

About the uploads to this site, it remains a problem caused by Snitz, dunno what to do about it frankly. I have new domains and I'd like to switch to VB asap now but I;m a total noob were migrating dbases is concerned, will pm dr A about this.

Indeed. Why aren't you? ;)

You haven't missed much anyway. We're at turn 9 or so... :)

Do that please. Dr. A. should be available, since he quit KoC and hasn't even picked up hattrick. If he starts complaining about his work, tell him to stop whining ;)

Propain, if you can play tonight, that's fine with me. I'll play after you as I'm up in sgotm2 tonight
