Civ5 PBEM 5 Organizing Thread

If everybody's are 1 then I'm Ok playing on. Could be interesting later in the game though

So, chumchu, if you want to try to fix it, let me know your email and I'll send you the current save. Ichabod is right - there is a pause, so now is a good moment to try and fix it if you have time for it. If you don't have time or can't fix it by the time I get home, I'll just play the unedited save, and we play on (unless Nicolae or HAK have strong objections)

I don't know what the "1" means in game terms, so I don't even know how to express an opinion.

Having 1 horse means each resource can support only 1 unit which requires horses, rather than 2 or 4 you normally get

Yup, still don't understand.  But that's also because I have the mindset of Civ4 and have barely played Civ5 enough to know the mechanics.

Each strategic resource on the map has a quantity associated with it, and hooking it adds that to your stockpile. Various units require various quantities of strategic resources to be built. If you connect 1 horse resource that has quantity of 2, you can built 2 horse units and no more; if one dies, you free up a horse which you can then use, or trade away, or whatever. If you then hook another horse tile with quantity 4, you now have 4 more in your stockpile.

Normally, strategic resources on the map have a quantity of 2 or 4 (these numbers taken from yuris' post; I've only read about Civ 5, not played it). In this game, every strategic resource found on the map has quantity 1. This means that strategic-resource using units/buildings are more restricted than in a normal game, with potentially weird effects that chumchu wants to know if y'all are willing to live with.

I'm home and we're playing on

[HitAnyKey]

Houston, we have a problem.
The Save that GMR is having me download keeps loading up as Ichabod's turn. So I can't play the turn that I've received.

[yuris125]

Dave, I'm going to roll back to your turn - you ok to replay?

[oledavy]

Go ahead.
