In the middle east, hoofbeats raiseid clouds of dust in the distance.

EchelonTee, a old and wizened Saracen, knelt for the final prayer of the day. He had heard the news, brought by courier just this morning, that the last of his people's desert strongholds were beginning to fall to the might of Europe and Asia. EchelonTee knew that neither he, nor his city, was long for the world. Though it may be written in the Quran, "O ye who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves in vanities: but let there be amongst you traffic and trade by mutual good-will. Nor kill yourselves: for verily Allah hath been to you Most Merciful," EchelonTee knew from his many years trading with the other cultures of the world that they did not read the holy scriptures, did not value commerce as he did, and held bloodlust in their hearts. With a sigh, he prepared himself for death, knowing that he had trafficked and traded much in his days as a merchant, and that Allah would be merciful to him.

EchelonTee of the Saracens has been defeated.

5 civilizations remain.

23 hours for night actions. Remember that the deadline is ONE HOUR before the normal time.

updates:

Fulblade has advanced to the Castle Age!

If you didn't send your production choices to Austin as instructed, you did not progress and it was assumed you had sent nothing.

Day 4

A cold wind blew across the rubble where once, a great palace stood. Only piles of the charred bones of men, women, children, horses, cats, and dogs lay where farms and houses once stood The smell of burning flesh emanated for miles. The mighty Chinese empire had been destroyed, both by inner turmoil and by the combined attacks of enemies.

Bill Murray of the Chinese has been defeated.

Roughly 46ish hours to deadline. If you all would like to change to 24 hour days please let me know via PM. There's only 4 players alive, so I figure you all will not need that much time anymore.

Well then... I didn't expect that for some reason. BM seemed pretty weak to me. Oh well.

right, so, if fulblade doesn't die today, he will become a really hard nut to crack soon. castle age gives you access to better units and upgrades.

Man. I'm just imagining the time you've had to put into this, WBG. Sorry I didn't take things more seriously.

said game changing information was improbably gamechanging, however, the half minute it was on here I apologize for, as for this third post; Old habits die hard. I have only slept 4 hours in the last 2 days.
