I've been out of things for a while, but have now read the posts on this thread and am wondering whether I can join in and have a turn or two before the AIs wipe out this brave race?
Basically:
1) Are you playing with any particular mods in place?
2) Do you just copy the saved game into the save directories and go from there?
3) Can I play too?
My email address is:
Scarlet.Biro@bigpond.com
Cheers,
Chris Horscroft

Here is the acount of the ruler bob.
After having his island cottage sacked durring his retirement, he barely escaped on a raft. Sent adrift and riding the currents he finally lands in english territory. Studying their advanced tech's he begins to form a plan for not only his new cottage, but the conquest of these pitiful people.
finally in 1644 he believes he has learned enough he departs on a ship back to the austrailians. There he finds the people without a ruler and reassumes his past role.
1645- as his first act, he raises wages slightly to calm the revolting masses. He also increases public works to 20 and moves several ships toward the english to fullfill his plans. He also notices that iratland has the potential to be a science capital so he begins a project of develpoing the coast with ports.
1650- this span of time to be mostly quite with just a few ships moving about.
1655 apolyton builds settlers. the great leader bob has plans to use these valuable citizens to man his new retirement home. He orders serveys to be done in order to find a good location for his new home.
Also our great army of 8 lands near Winchester. We take fire and lose 2 units immediately but Bob is not phased.
1660- An army lands near Iratland and Young. the people panick but the great leader remains calm and orders the apropriate troop movements.
The great english city of winchester falls to our victorious army.
Chears erupt in the streets and a grand statue of the Austrailans first war hero in the quest to conquer the english is erected in the capital plaza.
1665- Discover ag revolution we begin to research optics. Rooville builds the first Carrack in our nations history. Bob names it "Bobs Private Yacht" much to the digress of the military leaders. Lucky for our wareffort he lets them borrow it for troop transportation to the front.
The invaders combine thier armies on the borders of young. We bombard them accordingly.
1670- The invaders attack young but they are defeated thanks to our great military leader. We did take heavy losses but hey were mostly of phalanxes or pikemen.
Bob orders several units of infantry to reinforce Young.
1675- More ports built in various cities.
1680- reinforce winchester with 2 infantry divisions brought by a longship.
1685- more armies land near Aaagh and Iratland. We attack the one near iratland with the cities defenders and easily destroy them. We also attack army near Aaaah but we lose 1 infantry. 
Bobs new and improved island cottage built northwest of Apolyton. plans for his re-re-retirement are made. Another statue is built in the first city he founded Iratland to honer the great leaders war effort.
1690- Bob notices that iratland is now the number 1 science city with 197 science(from 99 to begin with). Builds mines in many cities to aid in the construction of more defending units.
retires to his island cotage.
As soon as he arives, he sacrifices 3 bob dolls in order to curse anyone who lets his new cotage fall to an enemy.
by the way a scout unit attacked manchester it had many cannons 4 i think a catapult and at least one cavalry they are untouchable as of right now.

Rooboy is elected as the umpteenth President of Australia, as Australia is a republic.
1750 AD: Disgusted by the lack of Diplomacy with other nations, Rooboy orders the first ever Australian diplomat, named Bill, to set up a foreign embassy in the Indonesian city of Sumatra. He boards a longship with his friend Ted, and they set forth on their excellent adventure.
1755 AD: Theatres are rush built in Castaway, Mt Isa (why did someone use a real name?), and Bob's Inpenetrable Fortress (or whatever it's called) to quell restleness. Once again Rooboy decides the Australians should work 14 hour days, and also reduces rations.
1760 AD: Meet some chick named Eleonore D'Aquitane. Apparently, she is the leader of the rather weak French. However, as she is a good lookin' bird, Rooboy decides to sign a peace treaty with her.
1765 AD: Being such a charasmatic diplomat, Rooboy invites the Native American leader to Bob's Island Cottage to discuss a possible peace treaty. Even though Rooboy forgets his name, a treaty is signed.
1770 AD: Some pommy named Cook lands near New South Jonnyopolis, thinking this a great site to someday build a colony.
1775 AD: Rooville is renamed Roo Town for no obvious reason.
1780 AD: A new brewery, the world's largest, is built in Snorf. Snorf Bitter becomes Australia's favourite drop, and is soon on tap in every pub throughout the empire.
1785 AD: Iratland & Apolyton build Mills to boost production.
1790 AD: A second Carrack, the HMAS "Many Trophies" is commissioned in Young.
1795 AD: Finally Bill arrives in Sumatra, setting up an embassy with bronze Kangaroo and Wombat statues at the gates.
Economic analysts now believe the strongest economy in the world belongs to Australia, Treasurer Big Kev is excited by this news. However, science and military advisors are much more pessimistic as to Australia's standing.
1800 AD: A cease-fire is signed with the Mexicans, after 2 of their cavalry are humiliated by two aussie pikemen outside of Apolyton. Oh ****e, I shouldn't have done this, but they would have taken the city if I hadn't intervened. We had ballista towers but no city walls, what's the story there?
Rooboy decides to quit politics and enter the Tour De France. He places third in the one and only stage from Toulouse to Paris.

Please strike me from the player list. I've passed the file on. I can't play SG3 anymore due to my computer being too slow. It used to take too long between turns, now it simply locks up.
