I said even aliens have to sleep - I didn't say they have to die.

No, if I read his message correctly, Thoddy can be operational on Monday. A single’s day waiting does not warrant skipping one turn.
Lord LMP, I suggest you send the game to Thoddy, with the usual copy for me.
Good luck : I hope no trireme will be lost in the north sea ! (the Lighthouse should help).

Just a reminder - web-site is here.

Meanwhile:
Germans built GL in 60 after dark. Russians built the great Oracle about 240 ad. After completing granaries , production was switched to produce settlers and Jirakis for martial law .
A second trireme should transport settlers to their destination islands.
Another settler was sent out to discover deserted lands, but he failed. The GWaTS avoids to tip huts before a city was founded nearby. Research is heading towards Michelangelos Chapel. For this purpose Hades Shrine is accumulating shields.

Later GWaTS became his own seer and had a vision of thousands of suns bringing xaos and global warming to the Earth. In this situation an old wise woman whispers: This should be discussed. But she had to yield with the GWaTS well known arguments.

An famous historican nominates the alien civ as the hopeless one. So the alien nation gets some headache.

In the following year the GWaTS feels weaker by an overdose of poison and dies. The people decide to celebrate a new hero, may his reign last forever.

Malignantx, I really don’t get it. I send you again the zipped saved file. It’s definitely 420ad. Please try again. Look if the Oracle has been build (it’s in Thoddy’s story). Scouse Gits, file send to you too. Please check I am becoming crazy. It’s 420ad, not 20ad !!!!

Since the great Oracle had already been built and his advisors kept bothering him of this fact, Malignant decided to began building the Great Wall instead until a better wonder had come along. Early in his reign there was already discontent, so production wassacrificed in order to please the citizens of Hades' Shrine.

In honor of Malignants reign the people founded a new city and named it Malignant. Then again a wonder was built by one of those bastard human civilizations so came the endless reminders by the advisors of that fact. Malignant was not having a very good reign, in the city of Belzebuth
Nest the citizens began to riot so again production was sacrificed and great alien entertainers were hired. Finally, in Hades' Shrine Michelangelo's Chapel began to be built to shut his advisors up.
More riots began, even in the city honoring him. The people really did not like him heh.

Quite a disaster - we must be very far behind in technology, as all the wonders for which we don't even have technologies have been built by the AI already. I have founded about 5 new cities. Our science takes 6 turns per discovery, so we have only acquired Medicine, Sanitation and something else. Currently the Alien civilization is researching University. I have managed to loose the race to build SoL in favour of the Russians.

Come on the Aliens - Give me an 'A'; Give me an 'L' ...

NEWSFLASH . . . . .

The Aliens are no longer Pathetic - Official

In a surprise announcement today the Senate revealed that the Alien nation had been officially rated as Weak, having successfully surpassed the German people - although in 'other news' it was reported that the Germans had attained 45 Technologies to compare with our current total of 31.
The other non-fungal so-called civilizations are all also in Republic except for the unworthy Spanish whose sickly federation of 43 cities moulders in Monarchy.
Only the English have, like the Spanish, surpassed our mighty nation in terms of numbers of cities. However, due mainly to their immense overcrowding even such inadequate peoples as the Japanese with only 13 cities still have a greater population than us.

Woops - I just got 7 Barbarian Horse from an Alpha 'hut' - if my brand new Omsghawk had not been in the offing they would have made mincemeat of my lovely (but pathetically defended) sleaze.
My settings are ToT Extended / Deity / 7 civs / Raging / random (large) worlds - I'm lying 3rd at 1200 and have the Gardens (only) but with high hopes of SoL -- I'm researching Demo and have caravans ready - no AI has yet started SoL ...

From Apolyton Datatabase- The map is made by Julius. #>

Only tip huts after founding a city nearby (hut within cityradius, I read this somewhere in the apolyton forums, posted by Ribannah I think). [This message has been edited by Thoddy (edited March 15, 2001).]

What I meant is that they are no native revolts in Alpha Centauri, even with raging hordes. You won't find barbarians, except in huts. With RH they would only disturb the AI, and my idea was to give ourselves a good challenge. I think I've reached my goal and that the AI is going to be more competitive than usual.

Well, I made in september a gigaworld map of 127x230 with a huge Antartica. This one is in the Apolyton Database. (see Thoddy's link)
The map we're playing in this sucession game is a maxiworld map of 143x229 with much more land that the other one and as many special ressources as possible. It looks like the Ai finds it easy to expand with it.
I've submitted it to Apolyton in january but they haven't put it in the DB yet. I don't know why. If they haven't done it in the short future, I'm going to make it avalaible somewhere else.
Wait 'till Apollo is build and you will see the whole earth.
If you promise not to send it to anyone, I can give it to you right now.
