Sorry guys but work comes first. I had finished half my turn when problems at work arose.
Please, NO MORE ZIP FILES, they're a BIG pain in the ass for me to open or to extract. Just send the save file as is.

Hey, Maud'Dib, long time no see.
Of course, you're right. Work does come first.  I think we all would have been a little less concerned if we had an update from you. Truly, I was a little worried that everything was okay.
Anyway, since you have popped back up, no problem. To quote one of my favorite singing groups, "Carry On, My Wayward Son".
Any estimated time of completion?
BTW, the group was, naturally, Kansas.

Lord have mercy! ICS and no HG!
"There's so little to do and so much time. Wait. Reverse that." -- Willie Wonka
In the beginning, there was a world, a large world, a gigaworld. And then there was ICS. And then there was unrest.
Upon ascending to the throne in 1AD, kcbob, the fearless, first took stock in his position as ruler. He consulted with his counselors and was saddened. Our Foreign minister reported contact with only two civilizations, the Zulus and Persians. Our Attitude advisor reported a need for many entertainers in the cities. Our Trade advisor listed only one city improvement of consequence in the entire nation, one lone library. Praise the Lord for our Science advisor and his good news. The Great Library! May it stand for a thousand years!!! And he had begun researching a belief in one god.
Our seers were consulted and the visions they were given were also disheartening. The Zulus had a Great formidable Wall. Other civilizations, nay, tribes (he said scornfully) were shown to them in vision. A group know as the Kelts, may they be cursed forever, had planted a Garden Hanging over one of their villages. A people called Hellenites had built a Colossus statue in one of their towns. And a race going by the name of Aryans had erected a Lighthouse and enlisted the aide of a traveler known as Marco Polo to further their cause. A pox on all of them. But at least, the seers had good news also, insignificant as it may seem. No people is ahead of us in a race for the heavens, wherever that may lead. 
With no choice but to look out for the well being and happiness of our people, kcbob began an extensive program of erecting temples to our gods and caravans to assist in the building of a chapel designed by one of the great artisans of our day, Michaelangelo.
In the meantime, exploration was continued at the far reaches of the known world by our intrepid scouts. Unfortunately, one of them, may he rest in peace, came upon a village inhabited by a warlike tribe of barbarians in the East Farthing. His remains were never found.
The Zulus asked us to declare war on the Persians. We declined to agree to this until the recount was finished. 
And in spite of the unhappiness abounding throughout the empire, the call of ICS was too strong to ignore. MacDonald's was founded, against our better judgement, and rightly so… unrest on it's first day of existence.
Our scouts began to locate strange structures housing wondrous surprises. 50 gold coins in the north, scrolls in the west describing how to more easily fiord rivers. In the land of the pheasants to the north, an Oliphant begged for sanctuary and it was granted.
And then, in 160AD, the way of one god, Monotheism was discovered and work on the great chapel begun. It was decided at that time to begin researching a way to build veteran military forces in anticipation of war with our neighbors. We hope to enlist the expertise of a general name Sun Tzu sometime in the future.
A Persian diplomat was found at our doorstep and expelled. They have a look of deceit, those Persians.
Our scouts continued to expand our empire, finding more gold in the west and an advanced tribe in the land of the pheasants to the north. Again, sadly, one of them also met an untimely demise at the hands of a barbaric tribe to the north. Curse all barbarians!!
As our population neared a million, and the diplomatic process was begun in Gaudima, kcbob passed away having never seen the fruition of his dreams, Michaelangelo's Chapel. He was laid to rest in a field near MacDonald's with his faithful dog, Dahli Lama at his side, his last wish being that those that followed might think kindly of him and his effort to bring smiles to the faces of his subjects.

Sorry 'bout that. 
I hit "Reply with quote" instead of "Edit".
And no, Julius, that was not a clever ploy in the race for King. (Although it doesn't hurt)

If I would comment on that one, that would be a clever ploy from me. Oups, I just did.
How many do you need to become Prince, King, Emperor and Deity, not that I care much.
But I am curious, it’s human nature I guess.

If Kcbob was as good a king as he is as a writer, then his reign was truly enlightning.

Aw, shucks! Thank you.

LOL. Clever, Julius.
And as for the requirements for each level, I believe it's as follows:
0-30 Settler
31-100 Warlord
101-1000 Prince
1001-3000 King
3001- 10000 Emperor
10000+ - Deity
I think those are the numbers. I'm around 860 and I'm guessing 1000 is the next level.
If someone has different, accurate number, I'll be glad to post a in response.

johnmcd posted a fresh list of the sequence of players in another game's thread. This might be a good idea to do that here. As best I can tell, we now look like this:
Player 1 Scouse Gits - Played
Player 2 Julius - Played
Player 3 DaveV - Played
Player 4 Paul - Played
Player 5 Andemagne - Played
Player 6 kcbob - Played
Player 1 Scouse Gits - In progress
Player 7 Muad'Dib
Player 2 Julius
and from that point on, I would see the sequence being:
1, 7, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 1, 7, 2... etc.
Kind of looks like an IQ test question, doesn't it?
Does this look okay?
