I'm not a fan of letting you map my coastline, to be honest wink I get that you're trying to make contact with other civs, but sending a workboat actually won't be as fast a method to get to other players as you may think.

Well, I'm reminded of the meta-game conversation in scooter's pbem32 thread (not quoted here due to it being an ongoing game). GLH is nerfed due to 1 landmass and no open borders. Colossus is less likely to be game-breaking due to lack of coast on a pangaea map. That leaves Pyramids and FIN as the big winners. You've done a great job of making the Pyramids civ whip it's economy into ruin (I'm guessing at this just by civ stats), but the FIN civs in the west have been left in relative peace. So that's my guess at what's going on in the tech rate.

The Phi guys seem to be doing pretty okay too. wink Don't actually listen to the whines from Germany, they're a couple turns out from CoL, and if they hadn't decided an Academy on the border was a better investment they could have bulbed Philo too, honestly.

Sigh. Everyone keeps referencing this great metagame discussion where I can't read it. frown
If only you and me and dead people know hex, then only deaf people know hex.

I write RPG adventures, and blog about it, check it out.

Yeah, I'm doing my best although I'd argue CHM has been the better economic tech for me so far thanks to early game happiness. Probably just a failure on my part to correctly leverage the PHI trait. lol

You are correct in that there's been a lot more peace over here. Now, is it the peace that's causing the civs with good econ traits to be able to tech so well? Or is it that the civs with the good econ traits are strategically choosing to tech up and pull away before attacking? Or is it it that the RB meta game has been to peacefully build-build-build until we get a decisive advantage?

Yeah, someone should really take the meat of that thread and post it in General Discussion, with all the pbem32 specific stuff cut out.

@pindicator - Ok, my boat will turn back at your borders. I had hope there might be some path that gave me minimal intel, but I guess without access to ocean tiles it would have been tough. Anyways, I'm not going to just try to sail past you.

@anyone - What does the event log show Mali did get? Take pity on a guy caught up in the suspense but still at work wink

@pindicator - I'm at the banana tile with my scout. Also you can see my workboat along the coast. As a sign of good faith I will turn it around from there rather than advancing one tile further and being able to scout while still in international waters.

@Mali - I have no objection to a sentry scout, but I trust we both understand he's not welcome inside my borders or immediately adjacent to them.

You mean that scout near your border city with us? Well, he's going to explore the land outside your borders...

Anything you are trying to hide? huh

Hard to hide when you can see my cities, no? wink

He's free to hang out, I just don't want to worry about him coming inside, blocking tiles, or whatnot. I can quote pindicator telling me the same thing a few pages back if it helps... smile

@sunrise. Your next moves are NE-NE-E. This should put you 1N of a jungle pig. Please post a screenshot of your surrounding 9 tiles once you get to that point.
