hello Carolus!
Work allows me some pacific coast time afternoons off from about 2pm onward. I think that is 11pm for you and Kengel, & 10pm for Carnide.
We 4 have a great old game, and if it is still one you guys would like to continue I would be very interested...
I just remember being "neighbors" with Carnide...hehe, and one of your mysterious crafts came floating over the ocean near our land. Kengel of course was not in sight of our explorers...those fabled flying creatures...
what do you think? We can mention it to the others and try to get a regular time going to try and finish it?

Great to be going again!
And SF, don't worry. Dave is slapping me around in another game, we can always coninue that one while you're away.
"Let it be known that during the last centuries the Vikings were able to straighten a very annoying thing out. The glorious city of Fortress, once attacked and conquered by The Red Devils, was liberated."
It hurt to put taxes to max while researching XXXXX, but I wasn't sure how much gold it would take. Turned out to have grown only to size 2 and only cost 52 gold so I could have lowered them a couple of turns earlier.
The "buying back city lost to barbs"-thing is unbalanced I think. Got three archers for 52 gold, out in the field they would have cost me 3x61 = 183 gold. And no city included in that price...
"Brave Viking explorers expanded the knowledge of this cursed world. We were lucky to find vast areas of unsettled land, land that seemed promising to cultivate. Unfortunately this world is not kind to a seafaring people like the Vikings, our Long Ships seem to be of little use. May Thor look favourable upon our efforts to colonize those areas!"

CR - since the barbs archers were such a bargain, the sporting thing to do would be to gift them to the nearest enemy city  .
The Americans contine to explore the map and establish cities. We are sandwiched between the other two civilizations and are already running short of attractive sites for more cities. Consequently, the Aztecs have jumped ahead to a slim lead on the powergraph. We are dealing harshly with barbarian activity near our outlying cities. More screenshots to follow, after our session today.

Hey Dave, I noticed that your powergraph took a turn downwards! Hooray!!!
I just checked with The Twinkle Site. It actually says that the number of units you have enters the PG-formula negatively!? So the more units, the lower the PG! Honestly, I swear to God!!!
Start disbanding, or you will hit rock bottom!!! 
And no, I can't give you those archers. I, eh..., wouldn't want to, eh..., lower your PG even more. Yeah, that's it!

AD 60, and SmartFart just completed the Great Wall. Diplos are stealing my techs, and my strip of land keeps getting narrower.

Indeed
You already used my border cities to get some techs awhile ago,now is my turn to catch up in research. I didn't wanted pottery for sure
However...I cannot remember last time I wanted Wall so badly (that's because I am usually 1st on Sun-Tzu).
My land isn't any better. I am cornered between you and water. Since the water cannot be pushed....just kidding

Hmmmm.....this is getting complicated.
I have to admit I didn't know how to setup my laptop for the internet.
Fortunately,I've found someone who does (too late for today's session,but that's still better than nothing).
One problem persist...I forgot to install ICQ on it 
Summary: I'll be definitelly available tomorrow,but i don't have a nerve to download ICQ and updating my list again...swimming and sailing should be my primary goal in next 10 days.
You may send me IP by e-mail (in my profile),or post here.
My dinner is in 19:00 CET,so I guess i can play one hour every day but weekends.
Strange,wife didn't complained much (got one sarcastic remark and thats all ).

Having ICQ problems.
Dave, I was booted during my turn in 260 AD. Tried to rejoin, but max players. I saw that it was 280 AD so I suspect the AI finished my turn?
I managed to save before being booted, at 260 AD.

CR - I guess we'd better start from your save next time. I realized I'd lost you during my turn (AD 280) when I moved a diplo next to your city and the pop-up window looked like an AI instead of a human player.
SF - I didn't have much luck stealing techs from you either . I had a 1-in-4 chance of stealing the tech I was researching at the time, but got a different tech I didn't want.

Sorry again
I am usually reliable player,but this is harder than I thought.
If I want to connect on Internet from this little coastal town,I need to call my home town where my provider is located.
This isn't really a problem,but all i can do is login as a guest (don't ask me why because I don't know).
Sometimes,guests could connect and sometimes they cannot (line is busy).
I can't do better than that.
Basically,if I post here half an hour before our gaming hour,you can count on me. If I don't,go on with your duel.
This situation will last until monday.
Thanx for understanding and I do hope we will continue today.
