No worries, man.
I had seen the announcement for the TAM of the Month anyway. I stopped being in the state of rushing-solo-games-to-complete-them-all-in-time more than one year ago (GOTM+RBCiv). After a short burnout I eventually was able to register here and start my Civ3-retirement
by playing PBEMs at my pace (before, I couldn't, as I didn't have the technical requirement at home).
And akots, yes, somebody has to be scientific after all, but... if I'm not mistaken both Assyrians and Macedonians are mil/sci.
So, no, it was a deliberate and thought decision.
No one more for what will be an epic PBEM ?
