OK, here it is: My first RB-report. It's far from perfect and I did notice some weaknesses by myself but still feedback on my stile might help me improve. So feel free to ceomment whatever comes to mind.

As far as I remember (I've written it 2 weeks ago as I've nearly no time right now) the rest of my disclaimer can be found in my report wink . Enjoy!

My Report

Be aware that the link on the homepage above leads to a pdf-file of around 2 MB so maybe downloading it would be the better choice. Btw: Thx to Majromax for giving me the idea to write my report with LaTeX smile .

Threepwood,

That opening screen is great, although it took me a minute to find the link! Very artistic. You report almost looks like a conference or journal paper. Makes it easy to leave up on my screen at work...

I take it Blue Snake refers to the Nile? I've never heard the reference before. And the rest of your city names were quite interesting as well. Puking Horse? lol

I haven't seen a report with such an early culture bomb yet, so that was an interesting twist that resulted from your Parthenon build. Sure helped you grab a lot of land up North! And then bombing again down south? Wow! And a THIRD time up north? That shot of Houston is great - surrounded by two culture bombs.

Nice work! the Parthenon actually paid off quite well for you, didn't it! Good game. thumbsup

My reply right above this one is stealth - didn't bump the thread, didn't show on the thread listing. Hmmm.

Well, after I decided to use pictures as city names I had to come up with those. Not easy as I've always had problems with finding nice names for stories RPG-characters and so on. So I just looked around on the map to get inspiration. So I normally just took the next ressource and added some adjective wink . So blue snake refers to the river, yes. But that it is even more fitting because of the Nile... well, I haven't noticed it till you mentioned it smile .

Yes, that's for sure. Funny thing is, that I was disappointed by every artist showing up as I always wanted another great person so I didn't recognize how much those artists helped me till I reviewed the game by writing the report.


Thx for reading and commenting

EDIT: It wasn't stealth for me, although I've seen something like this yesterday in Sirian's thread. Clicking on the reply-button enables at least the possibility to read the hidden post...
