Many thanks for setting this up EPW.
Got the save from NB. Hope it is Ok to hold it for the night. I need to review some of the game concepts, etc.
In the meantime - my merchants have headed out in different directions ....

Damn! Very smart of you Beta - I'm thinking your tactic is better than mine was...which was "jumping into it blindly and figuring it all out as I go along"...but then again, I figure the overall mystery is half the fun. I am a firm believer in "ignorance is bliss." 
...and no, I still have not gone over the actual concepts of this game.

Probably true.
But the concepts are interesting.
Thanks for your patience folks. First turn played and on its way via caravan to Tamerlane (Nugog).
