Turn to Shavlor
Demos do not worry about the settler just south of Buto he is heading east to unclaimed land.

Turn 155 ==> Sophix
Gazing out across the beautiful land of Wales, Demosthenes noted that traversing from one end of this immense Kingdom to the other would take some goodly time indeed. When this point was put to Welsh engineers, they immediately set about a much quicker and efficient form of transport.
They returned to Demosthenes with a strange idea, of wooden planks supporting lines of iron, upon which steam wagons would rush to and fro, with great speed and efficiency.
"Truly a great moment in our history", spoke Demosthenes, "I feel that Railroads may well become very popular."

Turn 156 ==> Sophix
Despite recent expansion and consolidation the Welsh nation is being caught up by the ever-copulating Egyptians, and the Wisdom of the Australians.
Wales believes that a new science drive should be launched, and further colonisation be sought. The WISE also advise the use of the newly found railroads to make this project more effiecient.
Therefore today Wales announces the Growth In Rural Lands and Science (GIRLS) Project, and hopes that this venture be a success.

Clerics there may be, but converting Roman cities they are not. The WISE take many forms in order to go about their business. Indeed, the WISE report that Egyptian priests are heading toward Brecon.....

I see that your intelligence services are as dilligent as my own.
Steve Waugh, although we see no need for an eco alliance at this stage, we have none the less agreed so as not to offend you. We do however, request that you depart from Sovereign Welsh territory. Unfortunately our Ambassador may well have put it in less savoury words.

Forgive me, perhaps the beer is taking it's toll. We has all but assumed that the warrior in the mountains was a statue left by a long forgotten civilisation, it has been motionless for so long.
We were referring, as stated, to the Ship of the Line, disturbing the tranquil life of Welsh fishermen of the coast of Brecon.

Pollution? It seems that since other nations cannot hope to match the productive power of Egypt, they must whine about something which is of no consequence or concern.

I guess Shavlor's five turns is up, or at least he considers it close enough to be.
Do we find a replacement, or just set him to AI? Personally, i don't think it's worth anyone's time to take over his civ, which doesn't have a hope in hell. Anyone good enough to make a comeback would almost certainly be in too many pbem games to take on another one. I vote that we just set him to AI and have some rules regarding terms of engagement. We should just consider Shavlor declared beaten and effectively dead. I propose that war cannot be declared on his civ unless his civ commits an act of war first. This should not include stealth units, but this is negotiable. In the event of war, peace must be taken when offered by the AI.
Otherwise, we could just make it a free-for-all on his civ, but that would decidedly advantage Demos. What do you guys think?? I'm sick of waiting on this game, but with three players left, we should be able to pick up the pace from here.
So here's the status now -
Demosthenes alive
Sophix alive
Shavlor dead - 4th
Lung alive
Burchill dead - 5th
Personally, i don't think Shavlor can complain too much as i started after him and therefore could be fairly considered to have had a poorer starting location

And we're back. So, what are we doing about the AI then? What are our restrictions, etc??

Restrictions? There should be no legitimate way of conquering the Romans. Attacking Roman units should only be allowed in self-defence. I propose the rules for terms of engagement with the Romans as follows;-
Unit type.......Action..........Reaction
---------.......------..........--------
Stealth.........trespass........expulsion
................attack..........attack unit only
Military........trespass........attack only after stop trespass demand refused/ignored
................pirate/pillage..attack unit only
................attack..........capture city
In each case above, the reaction is the maximum allowed. The 'capture city' option can only be performed once, in order to induce a peace offering. If peace not requested by the Romans, it must be offered. In the event of peace being refused after the capture of a city, only trespassing units can be attacked. In the event of long-term repeated recalcitrant action by the Romans, blessing should be sought by the international community for increased action e.g. capturing another city. Stealth unit attacks should NOT be allowed, except spying in the event of war. Any stealth unit of yours attacked by the Romans within Roman territory cannot be avenged, regardless of whether your stealth unit made an attack or not. Existing conversions and slavings can remain, but if the Romans negate that effect, it cannot be re-engaged.
So there you have it. I am open to ideas, but i think the above is fair and just, just like me 
Unless someone replies otherwise, i will assume that everyone accepts the rules as i stated above.
