thanks TR
I saw your comment about not ever playing regicide. basically, you get a king unit. once it dies, you die. therefore, use it wisely
early on, it is a very helpful explorer (probably why Rik and mistfit wanted to change the rule), so send it out, but not too far, just enough to know the surroundings and to find each other. and don't use it to pop huts!
also, when you get the save, send me your opening tech's as "accepted" in the F4 screen (if you can, may not be able to because I probably won't have a city if I go 2nd). I will then send mine in the same deal.
is this your 1st pbem?
