[SPOILER] retep can't get enough weed

I love posts like this; thank you!

Glad you like it guys!
Now about the update stuff, I have none. There are two reasons for this.
a) 20% was me being annoyed by all the waiting. I mean 12 days for a turn was pretty ridiculous. I understand that Oxy has a life and unexpected things happen and I also understand the attachment to his civ but a little consideration with the other players would nice. But to be honest I was more annoyed with Boldy team, there are 3 people on that team they all knew they couldn't play for 4 days with a few of anticipation so I don't think it would be difficult for then to found a sub if they had tried.
b) 80% was that I have a lot stuff happening in my life so although I did have the spare time to make updates I didn't have the will and energy to do it.
I didn't take pictures or anything so a bunch a turns have been lost forever.

Don't worry about the lost turns. I've lost many turns in PB9 without play-by-play reporting. A big dump comes occasionally as I have time.

When you have a chance could you post an overview shot of your empire?

[Commodore]

Ditto to both! No worries.

Turn 89.




Is late so you have to settle with this.


And this.


While I was triying to get a good picture of the empire for you guys I got lucky I saw this.


And finally this. Check how Boldy lacks food.
Something weird happen though, Boldy trade his only cow for one of my fish. I accepted although don't really sure what this means.

Turn 91.



I found Sisu's borders this turn. He is neighbor of Boldy. This could be good if they go to war and slow each other.

Thanks for the screenshots. A tip for the future if you're trying to paste 2 pictures together ... ALT+i hides the interface. Also, ALT+F gives a top-view so the grid aligns better, but I don't use this nearly as much as ALt+i.

Actually I wanted to ask about that. How people normally make big pictures? I'm trying my best with paint but it must be a better method. If someone can tell me or give a link to somewhere that said how I would really appreciate.

I use http://WWW.getpaint.net some people prefer GIMP which is more powerful but harder to use. Both are free...

I use the built-int Windows 7 paint exclusively for screenshot editing (except that I did download another Microsoft program which made a beautiful full-map stitch of the PB9 map). I rarely put pictures together though. Usually Alt+I to hide the interface and then zoom all the way out is sufficient. If not then I just do the best I can in paint.
