Unfortunately on our little rock worlds, there are not many islands and most of them are quite small. But anytime you find a nomad 20 squares from you empire, it's a good thing.

Yes, cashing repeated 900 gold trade routes will win, every time.

Yeah... you just have to love the repeating hides 
But it is challanging when the island is just a single non dot grassland with no production what so ever

Yeah, once you prime the pump you have enough money to buy it up and still make a profit while cashing in on all those beakers. At 800-1000 payoff, you can buy lots of caravans.

Yep... but I love how one time, after a few beers... I switched to republic forgetting that the single warrior in the city was attached to it... No shields... bye bye unit
No great loss... but it was still funny.

on a one tile island you can get away with that.....b/c the barbies can't take the city......
i always bring a unit from another city, which is shield rich and try to remember NOT to change the home city status on it...
i have been in the your scenario before, dont' even think beers were the cause

The real funny thing is, I did attach the unit without even thinking. It came from a shield rich city, and that was the original idea... just forgot... oopsssss.

After "many" beers, the game can get really interesting sometimes.
I'm still surprised that only 16 people have voted... sigh.

It does surprise me... with over 100 people signed up for the MP civ group, I figured we would get a lot more.
A chance for a free post...

Now why would MP players want to hang around in the MP forum?

I've only lost a unit to that once. I guess I pay more attention to it now. BUT I still forget about the possibility to lose a ship in port there. I've probably lost half a dozen ships that way.
