Nope
Bit of a fixer upper, but I'll take it!
That's great !

Just think what they could have built if they had had the Transit and digger in the back ground !

Only during the later Bronze age...
Love the last quote, "They're like London buses. You don't get one for 5,000 years and then all of a sudden two come at once." ;D

Yes, if you've ever been to London you'll know that the buses travel in convoys. Whether it's a defensive measure or not no-one has ever discovered....
That's ace! Where do you sign up?! Also, what a good setting for an Ancients game...
Now this quote is quite remarkable too: 'We haven't built a long barrow for 5,000 years' First of all they must be the longest ever exisitng contracting firm and second; how much profit have they made on the last one that they apparently managed to keep in bussiness for 5000 years after their last contract?!? :-\
Cheers!

The economies picking up, we've had 5000 year slump but we're back on track. Two barrows in a year!
One thing. Where do you put the wheels?

Perhaps they took the Magrathean approach and slept throught the slump ;)

That may be true, but will they live up to the expectations? :-\

I think this thread is a goner, it's definitely dead. Been stone walled, too.
Still, it might come alive again in a few years. Say, 5000 :D

A little known fact is that the Bronze Age was named after the inventor of the JCB -a Mr Josephus Caratacus Bronze!
