aqua: that's because i sometimes recieve the saves at 03:30 local time, so i miss it. i usually can't play in the morning, sometimes at lunch. but by then kloreep is sleeping/working anyhow

Ah, then I guess it all goes back to when GC gets the save to me. It used to be in my inbox when I woke up, which is around 2300 GMT, which meant I coulkd play it and get it off to Sabre who would often play it before going to bed, and so we got the turn around in a day. But lately GC has been getting it to me when I am already at work.....for instance, it just came in now which is around 1030am my time, and 0230GMT.

Oh well, s**t happens

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

aqua: when i switched (a lot earlier than you) i was in fact worse off than before, mainly because of the extremely expensive units and my shitty capital location. but with time (and some courthouses), things look better.

but, uhm... why should you never be able to catch up in this game? you're not far behind in any area of the game, have decent land (but no fresh water) and your UU is still the best unit in the game until marines.

Well frankly, it's not hard to work out Sabre. As you say, I have no fresh water. I also have limted grasslands. That means city growth is either 5 or 10 turns. For most cities, if I want growth to be 5 turns, I must use all coastal tiles.....meaning, crap production. If I want production, I must reduce growth to 10 turns (1 food surplus) or no growth at all.

As for the UU.....yes, wonderful, but at 70 shields even my best city will take 6 turns to spit out one Berserker, and that is forgoing any other vitally needed city improvements during that time.

I'm not complaining mind you....just despondent about the limitations of a kindgom without fresh water.

well, i guess you'll be eager to get electricity

btw, i don't have many grassland tiles either. only when i irrigated the plains (still at it!) did i have 2 food from land-based tiles. and irrigated plains are equivalent to mined regular grassland.

oh, and believe me when i say that i'm relieved that those berserkers cost so much! imagine them being 40s! you would have taken down 2 empires by now

ps: with the ultra-early pyramids you compensate for the slower growth when using mined hills or so...

I'm not particularly invested, though it's interesting trying to make a working civ out of these conditions.

If you want to pull out, that's fine by me. We could either stop or find a replacement.

not too long ago everyone voted this game as one of their favourite as it's tougher and slower than other PBEMs.
and now that we had a month of temporary slowdown, you guys want to stop/withdraw? that would be a shame

No, I won't pullout. I just hate the pace of production and growth. What's worse is, unlike you guys, I have no way of improving the situation for myself.
