Reload looks like it worked ... I have a few more units. However, I've managed to put myself behind a diplo screen with the game paused (rookie error!).
I've tried putting the screenshot tags around a URL (pic hosted on my site) but that didn't seem to work. Edit: Fixed.

Ok, I have a plan. Since the map maker decided not to give me a back line that I don't have to worry about ... I have decided to make HitAnyKey my back line that I don't have to worry about.
My civ and his have been life long buddies so I am going to start acting as if he is.
BTW - what is the rules for city giving in this game. I have some island cities that I am thinking of giving to HAK so that he has to defend them against Commodore. Is that allowed in this game?
Commodore and Gavagai offered piece ... just like last time. HAK offered this ...
What is that meant to mean?
I sent him (HAK) some resources that I don't think he has (banana and dye) ... and asked for some that I don't have (deer). I also started a road on a silver mine so that I can trade silver to HAK for a happy resource.
I also pulled my army (ha!) back from the border of Donovan ... so if he decides to invade, he'll have to come into my land to do it.
My two northern cities are gone if anyone wants to take them. Bye.
I pushed tech up to 80% but will need to lower it to break even next turn ... on the way to Nationalism. I need some defenses.
Also (and finally), can someone tell me the under / over for this civ survival so that have something to aim for?

40 turns would be an ambitious goal, right? I guess you should take the over?

That purple diplo window looks pretty cool- how'd you change the color?

I'll either make that easily ... or miss it by miles. I'll make a decision within the next 2-3 turns.

The color (and font) schemes are determined by the file 'Civ4Theme_Common.thm' that hides in the folder 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Resource\Themes\Civ4'. I currently have 47 different versions of this file that get used for different games.
You can also use the utility CivScale.exe to mod the color, font, etc. I think it comes with blue marble.

The signup thread says "real city trades only" which seems to imply you can bully people with your army into city trades, or make a city trade of two equal value cities, but just plain giving cities away would probably not be kosher.

T182 played. Two (2) down, x to go.
I have started ferrying excess units back from the 'island' I share with HAK. I have also sent some scouts (1 Knight, 1 Imp) into Donovan's land to see what is what.
BTW ... Donovan changed history and declared on Retep this time. At the start of this turn landed two (2) GPs (I am guessing one was from Economics) and kicked off a Golden Age ... then went military civics. Is Commodore aiming to finish this game quickly to concentrate on 27?
My struggle to Nationhood continues.

You move one or two units into someone's land to scout, just after they have declared on a neighbour ... and they get all careful and pull units committed to their new war back ... what is going on ...
I've changed the color to better match my civ color. I am still not happy with the font. I'll try another font later today.
I suck at tech. Also ... I hate the BlueMarble could / sun burst. I must remember to disable that file.

Keeping up my 'love affair' with HAK.
