That first game was laughable. Only 3 players and the stupid computer puts me on the north pole with 6 mountain, 6 tundra and 6 plains visible. No huts and one iron special is all I see. I move a few squares and nothing improves -- no more specials, no huts, nothing but plains and mountains. So I decide to put a city down on the iron and just pump out first city settlers while the other one explores. Crank out a settler after 4 turns, and by then have found two more specials and lots more mountain and plains. The other two specials are, guess what, iron. And now the barbs show up and start killing my damn settlers. Even if Ming hadn't been killed, the two of us probably couldn't have allied and beaten war that game. This game and last week's similar experiences (with the shoe on the other foot) shows one of the great benefits of playing with people you know: War4 was a good sport and the issue of restarting was not an issue at all. We all just want some semblance of balance at the beginning.
The second game was better. I didn't get HG, War4 did, but I would have had it in one more turn. I have about 8 white techs and mono will be next if the ai lets me choose it. By the time I finish researching mono, I'll have enough shields and/or money to finish the wonder.
Too bad about the tech problems, Ming. We waited at least a half hour, and at some point you showed up on line and even sent us an icq asking what happened. We both responded that you disappeared, but then we didn't hear anything back via icq.

Well that was a fun game Saturday. We finally got Hydey into a game.
It was Me, War4, Berz and Hydey. It was very interesting. Berz got pinned in early and went on the offensive. He must have spent most of the game building vet crusaders and diplos. He trashed three of my cities. (fortunately why he was doing that, I built 10 more) It was an unlucky night for battles. I found one of Berz's cities that was a four special with 2 fishes, 1 pheasant, and one gold. I built a city on one side and stole 1 of the fishes, and War4 built one on the other side to take the pheasant. (icq phone can be fun) Berz decided that he would get those specials back, and he did. I tried attacking his ships three times and never succeeded. I attacked non-fortified crusaders on a mountain with crusaders, (one vet) and couldn't win a battle. And not one of my vet pikeman, fortified in a forest ever survived a combat with a vet crusader. He took the city walls down TWICE with ease. They never sabotages the production. It was a fun night.

I won't be home until around 10:00 eastern, which I suspect is too late for you guys. I'll be looking tomorrow night, though.
