City name theme ... Programming languages ...

Thread title says it all.

Time victory anyone?

[size=24-big]GET OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!!![/size]

That's probably the dumbest title for the dumbest naming scheme. Maybe we can find a better one?

Thought you folks might appreciate this glitch...




Unfortunately, my settler can't found (or move) so a race of merpeople is out of the question.

Definition (and explanation) for honour rules
Double moves allowed during peace-time when you do not get an advantage against another team out of it. Double moves are not allowed when in war, to prevent a situation where teams have to log-in at a very specific time. If you are planning an invasion, make sure to have turn split in mind even before officially declaring a war. The aggressor has the responsibility. Once war is declared, you are allowed to contact the other team (or teams) to create a turn split. Special agreements regarding turn splits are allowed if all parties involved agree.

Definition of AI Diplo
You are allowed to use the in-game diplomacy (resource trading, open borders etc.). You are not allowed to exchange emails, chat (in-game or outside), or otherwise discuss in-game events with the other teams. You are not allowed to change your unit or city names with the intention to give information to the other players. Discussion on technical stuff like turn splits, pauses, IT-problems etc. are allowed.

My internet service picked a slightly irritating time to go down, but luckily my report would have been a shadow anyway (since I knew a lot about the map, even though I tried to forget/ignore it).

I'll post an actual report later on [EDIT: And it's now up at the usual site!] in the meantime, it looks like I've got a lot to read! At a glance, it looks like there's some definite criticism of the map setup too, for which I'm very grateful. I tried to make this map do a couple of things at which it might have failed, and it's very useful to know not only whether it did (so I could perhaps get it right in the future) but whether it was a good idea in the first place (so I'll know to NOT DO IT in the future)! Comments on individual reports will be forthcoming when I have a chance later today. In the meantime, here is a lengthy scenario introduction (for the Average game) just for kicks.
