Actually..you should not check your "outbox" but your "sent" box for it is indeed not in the "Outbox" once it is "sent"..
Thus ends Kindergarten Email 101

Resend "if" you have sent it..for I need it

If you have "not" sent it..then by all means go ahead

Real busy at work and will be for quite an extended period of undetermined time..as I have taken on many new responsibilities this week..so game play will s-l-o-w down to a mere crawl for some time to come..

Crawl..well..at least you CAN watch something crawl..the email will not likely be coming quite as quickly as a crawl....

Not sure how your email works..

Yeah..I love playing and when I play online I allways fair well, not necessarily win, but at the very least fair decent.

BUT when I play PBEM, I am like 1/2 the pop count by turn 70-80..and the other civ is doing so much better in science and # cities and size of cities..

But of course I have played that many different players so i guess I just suck....perhaps.....

Maybe the biggest difference is that I am building cities the whole time until I have 40.
And I also built caravans and slavers (for big cities)
So now in Rennes there are 5 slaves and I use the the rest of the population as scientists

Well...thats one way of doing it....Johnny Cartoony but you didnt just build cities..

I am saying I dont understand how you can build just what you stated, NOT YOU but anyone can and I am doign same..

you have settlers,units,caravans and settlers and cities..

I am saying I dont understand how you can build all you are and still have all them cities and pop count..

I am doign the same but it amazes me how someone can do THAT much better is my point..kinda somewhat confusing..BUT will figure out how soon i reckon....

Tunr coming also..

I must admit that the settler I found in the beginning also was a big advantage.

you have settlers,units,caravans and settlers and cities..
But this is not entirely true however I will not say what my weakest point is. And I don t see how you can t have as many cities as I have. And for the high pop ->slavers

But you also have other city improvements too, which is my point Johnny:

Player "A"(Johnny) Player "B"(GT)
X City Improvements X
X 40 cities 21
X High Pop Count
X Better Science
X Caravans
X Great Gold
X Much More Infrastructure

My Point is in just 80 turns or so, you have such an advantage, I am assuming you have 40 settlers/cities or there abouts. You have 820000 POP count to my 380,000 TWICE my count and lots of units traveling about.

I am just simply perplexed how anyone, you, Dimytes,anyone can in the same time frame...(oh and havent you built a wonder already or soon to? ) have roughly the same production but do so much better?

I am simply asking as this is the only thing I cant understand, how in an online game I get beaten but, it is like on in the turn 225-250 range by war...not so much a thrashing so early...

~sigh~

I will eventually learn the early success of both experts and newbies such as yourself possess....

Peace

-and yes some improvements (city walls everywhere and other stuff in more important cities)

Troll, 36 cities in 80 turns or so isn't that unusual. Attached is an example game between Filix and me with a one settler/100 gold start. You can see that I also have 36 cities by turn 81 with 4 caravans. I'd be happy to tell you how to do this if you are interested.

Ok..do tell..what i am saying is how anyone can have 1/3rd more cities and both are producing about the same and one civ has soo much more...like in city improvements and gold and science and units..

THAT was my point...

maybe it is land????

(Ok..please insert your support of the duel-dual)

I am just curious is all..

I see many things he is doing well..I just wanna learn is all

I mean, he is doing exceptionally well for a rookie...or newbie..

I guess PBEM aint my cup of tea..and well..perhaps should simply stick to MP games where I have allways faired much better..

Oh well...please share away...
