[SPOILERS]Novice, Spacemanmf and Athlete4life10 are HUYANA CAPAC OF CHINA

[spacemanmf]

Well, we've not permanently switched. I just figured we could put one turn in as insurance. Happy to switch back this next turn, depending on the circumstances.

re: demogs...while yes we most certainly have. Atleast one other person will probably be trying to read them and somebody is going to go what the hell???

If Ruff's paid attention he'll notice the 5 hammers prod and assume it's us. Thing is my impression of Ruff is that will encourage him to walk the line with us. Given the troubles with chatting through the game (using the trade screen never worked for me in PBEM1) I would suggest you use the chat function. It does require you check the chat log but Ruff is a player that will do that. Others may not. It should help expedite your communication with Ruff.

Depending on the circumstances....that's the key right there. If we just continued on worker, while we could die, we'd be farther ahead if we hadn't paused for 1...now maybe 2 turns. Given it's your first game in MP I don't blame you for switching...just with a couple of games under my belt I've had my "oh don't die in the first dozen turns" fear removed if that makes any sense.

Anyways it's no big deal...3 turns at most and then we continue on our way.

[edit] Sorry if that sounds preachy....it's not meant to be... [/edit]

No apologies necessary. The bottom line is that one turn into a warrior made me feel better, and that's all that mattered.

Save is here. Spaceman, do you want to play the turn? I've just opened the save to take a look at diplo. It seems Ruff got our messages but we didn't get his reply. He suggests using chat and not diplo screen, seems like a good idea.

His warrior moved SW onto the cows, which seems more friendly than moving NW.

So I guess this is the message that Ruff has reveived, but whose answer we haven't gotten:



Spaceman, can you repeat the NAP offer, I guess the rest is outdated already.

Also I suggest switching back to the rice and the worker.

[spacemanmf]

Roger that.



Done and sent.

When do barb animals show up? Someone who had 6k power (Ad Hoc or TT) just lost a warrior. Are people warring already?

[spacemanmf]

When I played a quick test game, they didn't show up until turn 20...

Found some info on barbarians on CFC:

Among a lot of other things, it states:

Barb Animals start appearing after game turn 5 (hard coded, independent of game speed).
