Dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Starting position had 5 Ivory, 6 plains with wheat, a river, 3 gold, an a jungle with gems. There was a hut on the jungle. Sent my king to open the hut. It was a settler. Sent my scout to a gold mountain. He saw 5 more cows. I pressed spacebar, and watched in horror as Lincoln died from disease and the loser screen popped up.

Autosave: 4000BC. It saves it automatically at the start of the game.

Perhaps you should play with mass regicide on from now on, that hit has to hurt. Hope you had autosave on

THere is a lesson to be learned here, when playing with regicide you should leave your king in the capitol at all times the risk of something happening to him/her is just too great.

Its happened several times to my kings. (Though on Mass Regicide, not regular.) I've never seen it happen to any other unit besides a king of mine. And I also haven't gotten a leader since I got PTW. The old civ liked me better.

I play with autosave off, so no 4000bc would be available if I did not save it manually.
Sorry for the loss of the opportunity to see what the empire could have been.

So kings are susceptible to jungle rot. have to keep that in mind. explore, but not into the jungles.

Thanks JW, your loss is our gain


No, seriously, sorry it happened, I would be likewise pissed

UN victory is on. Unless you are popular (VERY popular) don't call a vote.

Winning the election is one of the ways to win the game, called a Diplomatic victory.

ACK!
