There are rumors among Babylonian people that a strange rider with a hood speeds through The Great Desert. I thought it was Zedanu who didn't bear the fertility of Angelina and dropped out.

Bad luck all around this friday the 13th, Last night my HVAC unit was stuck on HEAT! A nice 75 degree day outside and 85 degrees inside my apartment! As you can imagine arguing with the super took most of my time and I was unable to go get my PC from my friends house.

Then this morning as I am preparing to go home and see my wife and kids....Speedometer stops working and the transmission starts sputtering.

Add to that Comcast's apparent in-ability to !INSTALL CABLE! and it was mostly cursing on the phone for me last night.

I will check back in on monday, hopefully with a save file.

Untill then everyone watch out for black cats, misplaced ladders, and half hazard mirrors.

Sad news has reached the ports of Egypt - our peaceful trading ship traversing the Cyprus coast has not returned from her voyage, and is presumed lost. Assyrian pirates are undoubtedly to blame.

But the gloom was shortlived. In the deserts west of the Euphrates, a massive Egyptian Chariot strike force has annhilated an Assyrian army. Celebrations are proclaimed across all Egypt, while from Nineveh comes only the sounds of weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

Losses in Persia as well, with no victory to brighten the day. However, Achaea was founded in honor of the dead King and the charioteers who died fighting for His lands.

The mighty Assyrian bireme close to Mallia has managed to send a Minoan Early Sail to the bottom, but our Royal Envoy plans to buy the bireme very soon.
Two Assyrian caravans have delivered their commodities to Amnisos, but the base trade of the city was switched down to one arrow, so I guess Zedanu is rather unsatisfied with the amount of gold and beakers he got .

Thanks again for your help. Please Ctrl-N after 72 hours. This game has slowed to a tedious crawl and you are our main hope of saving it.

Easily done, but I follow this thread somewhat irregularly, so if 72 hours has passed (or even if close) feel free to send me a PM and I will happily do the control N thing.

As for the tedius crawl, maybe you should ask kengel and La Fayette about the pace of our 7 Player Game. I would estimate I have had 3-4 turns since last June, yet miraculously the game is still "ongoing" (though I use the term loosely ).

Don't have to ask. But your 7 player slugfest has heated up lately, no?

At the other extreme - ST and I are playing a PBEM duel which is at move 62 [not far behind SoG] after just two weeks.

Not sure I was say it has "heated up", but I would go so far as to say it is "not frozen ".

I received my last turn on March 13 and forwarded it March 16 (I am the last player in the turn sequence, purple).

Since then it went from Carolus Rex(white) to La Fayette (Green) on April 16 and from La Fayette to DaveV (Blue) on April 20.

Not sure when DaveV sent it on to Eddy (Yellow) but it was some time ago. As far as I know that is where it sits as kengel is next (Light Blue) and is usually quite quick to play. After them only Mostly Harmless (Orange) and it will be back to me......I am thinking it will make a nice Christmas present .

And this is quite the interesting experiment. I look forward to following how it goes. I would like to be in a game that moves along quicker, though the speed at which you and Slowthinker have been playing is too quick for me. I suppose that is the problem, everyone has a different pace at which they can play, so committing the time to a long term PBEM can be difficult, finding 7 players with the same committment, especially to an older game like Civ2, can prove to be almost impossible.

Near Kurigalzu our forces attacked an Assyrian stack and after a bloody battle enemy Spearmen were defeated . But Spearmen defended in a town and we didn't descry a small fortress there. So we wondered in the town a part of the Assyrian stack (Chariot II) survived our attack. And unfortunately our boat full of envoys with coffers packed by gold was too behind and wasn't able to bribe the lone Chariot II
