I've found a backup to hold the passwords for the games in case I become entirely unavailable. If I can't be reached, Sir Ralph may be contacted (I'll add his edress to the first post). I'm not sure if he will be willing to 'next' anybody's turns, but you should at the least be able to work something out...

are there any rules on (dis)allowing to take an undefended city early in the game?

i need something to stop my bad conscience i'd have if doing so

Sabre;
Don't know if any "offical" rules, but my opinion = take it. If a player is pushing the limits that much, he deserves to be taken out. Or extract a tech or gold out of him.

This game is supposed to mirror real history & undefended real cities in real history were wiped out. At the very least, pillaged & all the women raped... ah-h-h-h, those were the days!

If it's going to be a poll, I agree on taking the city as well. That's what the game is about.

The early game is balancing defense and expansion.

If someone wants to risk leaving their city undefended so they can expand more, then it's just that - a risk. If you're not allowed to take an undefended city what stops anyone from having to garrison their cities until they've already built a ton of cities?

If they leave it open then take it if you want to. It's not as though the possibility of someone appearing and attacking isn't there at any time.

Michael Jackson - never.

Tull - always

Dylan - that quote was there since I changed my login, you just never noticed

But the accordian is a good idea Aqualung goes searching for an accordian

This kind of action has to police itself. Say, if you were in a tournament game- let's call it #1- and someone were to take your peaceful, undefended, recently hut-popped city for no good reason, they could eventually expect to find themselves in an accelerated production/elimination mode game playing as Portugal.

Actually, it's all just random (as far a Conqueror knows...)

Here are the TPD numbers after 35 days (33 for B);

quote: Five weeks are in the books and the TPD ratios as of approximately 6AM GMT May 30th: Coliseum A was at 1475BC, holding at 1.7 turns per day. Coliseum B was at 2800BC struggling along with .7 turns per day. Coliseum C was at 1700BC with 1.5 turns per day on the record. Coliseum D was at 2030BC. They are staying just ahead of the base TPD barrier at 1.2.

Well, I tried to take the sword from Iron Working in the Civilopedia and reduce it to a 15x19 gif, but it doesn't show up very well. I'll try to enhance or redraw it on my own next weekend. If someone can come up with a better looking one by then, I'll award them a laurel wreath (provided rick hasn't contaminated them all ;-)

I will be away from Friday through Sunday chasing plastic instead of forging iron. In the interim, Sir Ralph has the passwords in the unlikely event something comes up. He will not be monitoring the threads, but if you contact him directly, he has told me he will play delinquent turns and pass them on. I will edit in instructions for contact once I receive them...

When the games reach 750BC, could someone from each game capture a screenshot of the score graph, or at least send a copy of the turn to me? The audience needs an idea of the gore and carnage going on, however abstract...
