Unlike some other civs, some of us are not "blessed" with wide open flatlands where you can pop huts every other turn.

Well, I know nothing about what your surroundings look like. Too bad for you .
And "blessed" is put very rightly: I can get raided easily, the bloody Barbs travel fast over flatlands, so don't whine. And don't forget that being in the middle of things has two sides of a coin as well...

There must be something good in it for the Greeks

Put an end to popups!

No, it is a historical fact that the Hittites instituted a legal system that was far more lenient/fair than the ones used previously. Hammurabi's code of laws (the first one recorded, ever) was infamous for imposing capital punishment for nearly everything.They also were noted for their religious tolerance. I felt that my previous posts portrayed the stereotype of the oriental monarch, which contradicted this aspect of Hittite culture.
It has nothing to do with the current game, no offence intended towards Babylon.
Cyrus Achaemenid Persia itself set an international precedent of respecting (comparatively) POW's. Previously, POW were executed or sold as slaves.
An event that turned captured units into slaves would be useful in this scenario, don't you think?

Well, I have read an explanation for the very "liberal" use of the capital punishment in Hammurabi's Babylon: there were no prisons.

Assyrian turn Put an end to popups!

The Assyrian ruler smiles when he thinks of the achievements that were made during his long reign. In the 40 years that have passed, he has invested heavily in his army, boosting the defense of his cities, and by doing so enabeling the bands of skirmishers to scout the vast desert to the West, the rivers up North and the mountains in the East.
In the last decade, this two-edged sword has silenced his critics, as from all three regions heavy booty was brought back.
*From the mountain people the scouts learned about the Stars, and the benefits that could be made by observing the constellations and allignments.
*From the desert people the scouts brought back knowledge of Ranged Fire Tactics, and the training skills for horses was obtained. These techs pleased the generals at the Royal Court.
*From the river people a vast sum of gold was brought to the state treasury.

With fresh troops from Khorsabad and Nimit Ishtar conducting a pincer-movement on the rebelious Town that still resists Assyrian rule, Tudiya and his generals are confident that the villagers will surrender in the near future, as their numbers are now small, and morale must be low now they see that once again seige has been laid unto them.

In Nineveh, a new quarter was build for the slaves and their families that have shown their allegience to Assyria by faithfully irrigating and mining the surroundings of the mighty Capital. They have been rewarded citizenship, and are now considerd Assyrians, with all duties and privileges attached. Nineveh is now by far the largest city in Assyria and the known World, but it may be rivalled by other Assyrian cities, now that the Family size of the fertile Assyrians averages 8 children.

On the dunes in the Western Desert, an abundance of Date Palms was spotted and a beautifull town could be seen next to it. Bedouins refered to it as Tadmor, City of Dates. The militairy commander of Nimit Ishtar has ordered the formation of a regiment of Swordsmen to offer protection to the oasis, in return for allegiance and tribute to the Assyrian Lord Tudiya.
Near the spring of the Great Northern River, a hut was spotted.

I agree
In fact we have one (see Kulls first post). I'm just sometimes reluctant to play, as I allready have done it once, and civfan allowed me to play through on another occasion where he was unable to play.

Can we also agree on sending PM's or e-mails to the next player in line AS SOON AS you posted your turn?
