What happens if we all have "Kill civ on retirement" enabled? Will we ever meet and interact with each others' civs (since my empire crumbles into dust, ceases to exist)?
And how do we avoid that the AI sells us out when (if) we meet?

"The noble leader of the friendly Sioux is pleased with history as it has unfolded thus far. Although being an isolated and lonesam world, its soil and sea have proven to be bountiful. It is with great interest and curiousity the Sioux each day hear of other tribes, some seemingly similar and one seemingly different having more units than the sky has stars.
The curiousity stems from the fact that although the world is wonderful it is also wonderless and travels across the vast seas are so dangerous that only the bravest or most foolish sioux warriors dare participate in such endeavours. Not until safer ways of crossing the ocean have been developed and mastered will Sioux ships steer towards friends and foes. Or do these other tribes possess knowledge that is yet unheard of?
No, the Sioux War Council has drunk of its deep wells of wisdom and proclaimed that no danger will appear for centuries to come. By that time new generations of sioux warriors with more powerful weapons will walk the earth, ready to give their lives to protect their families and friends.
The leaders of these mysterious, other tribes shall hence not believe that the Sioux is a weak nation. Given that the various sioux tribes can agree on the buffalo hunt to be when two full moons have passed, the sioux nation will unite. Like five fingers turning into a fist...

"Indeed, the legends spoke the truth! How could we doubt their content? Generations of Sioux have felt the sun's warm rays of light and have been laid down to eternal rest, and not once have they been wrong before..."
"Alas, it seems that not all inhabitants of this garden of Eden are as peaceful as the Sioux. Our hearts are sad as we hear of some tribes' hardship and enslavement. The way of the iron fist is not unknown to the Sioux, who long ago fought ferociously for centuries against a pale tribe and nearly succumbed to the white man's greed and thirst for blood."
"The legends speak of many, many dead Sioux warriors, women and children. Extinction seemed inevitable when the white devils suddenly started fighting amongst themselves. The South of their conquered territories wanted their freedom, which the North refused to grant, and the white tribe was thrown in a bloody civil war giving the Sioux Nation enough time to heal its wounds. Generations later, when the North-South stalemate had spilled millions and millions of white men's lifes, and the Sioux had recouped, vengeance struck without mercy."
"The battles of Snake Canyon, Lost Plains, Twoheaded Bear Forest, Eagle Eye Canyon, Moose River, The Revenge at Wounded Knee... The final betrayal of the capitols in North and South, respectively, and the following massacres... Dark chapters in our history which demanded enormous amounts of sacrifices from our own people... The Sioux have suffered volantarily under the rule of the iron fist to secure its existence... Never again shall such a barbaric reign be adopted, unless the same ultimate threat of extinction once again rears its ugly head..."

Any chance of going on-line with this one in the near future?
Any upcoming travels and boring hotel evenings, DaveV?

The last five or six turns my workers have been rearranged by the AI. Nothing serious, but very annoying to shuffle them back every time. Anyone else experiencing this and any tips on how to prevent it? I press ctrl+n every time before saving the game.

Yes, I am. Just to check that everything is ok before I save the game. Sometimes I have an active unit left to move when doing it, sometimes it's the last thing I do ("press enter to end turn" is flashing in the background while I check the cities).

May i offer my services as a sub?
This sounds like the sort of game that is tragic to (once AGAIN) let fade away. Particularily amoung such an esteemed group.
Know exactly where Dave(Forgetful French), is coming from or not going to(?).
We are both in the same PBEM contest.
If it will help keep this (or any) game going to the point that some of us Civ MP players can actually MP in the Industrial & Modern ages(!)... i want to help.
With permission, i will sub for &/or co-manage &/or take over, his or another player's civ.
When is best times for this group now...?
==============================================
I in turn, would like any of U good players to keep an eye on the "Blood Oath" thread. Despite the oath, we may need a sub occasionally to make to the promised lands & eras.
Spread the Word about helping prevent this non-continuence we know all-to-well & the fruastration of whence i speak.!
In fact i may start a thread about this very issue.
C U there, or help if i can help here.

What? Not settling in the polar region? Who will spread the word of god to the ice monsters now? 
I am sorry to say that I also won't have enough time for an online session... I am glad that I have just enough time to get managed my email turns at the moment 
Carolus: Yes, in almost every turn I also experience this rearrangement of workers, and it is indeed annoying. Unfortunately I have no idea why this happens...
But I guess it must have to do something with the civ versions which are incorporated in the PBEM game. In another civ game, this things didn't happen until some american players got into the game (sorry, Crusty & Dave, nothing against you  ). Perhaps the american civ version is slightly different to that of the european / UK / aussie version? Just another theory...
However, I found a little trick (not a good one I admit). Before your turn starts, AI is doing something, but in this time & if you can click very fast, you might manage to reorder the workers to your likes. Sometimes you need some reloads to manage it in time before your turn starts, but sometimes it is the only chance you have to rescue your civ for anarchy due to stupid AI worker reordering...
KenThur: Many thanx for your offer 
However, I think this PBEM game is still moving on relatively fast (compared to another one we both know  ), so there seems to be no evidence for a game-death before end (lucky ones we are - good work up to now )

"The Sioux will soon leave The Canoe Era. May The Great Paddle rest in peace and may The Mighty Sail serve our people well."
"It is with growing anxiety that the Sioux War Council hears of many units amassing across the seas. What will the future bear in its womb?"
