Boy, I was tired. Pretty sure I reversed "southeast" and "southwest" in the log text.

I might need to visit that Georgraphy Test thread in the OT...

Not a single spy? even non vet?
I MUST play this game (right after Hydey )

You're in

A full house...

[Marquis de Sodaq]

This looks like fun! A real throwback to when we first played... The power of diplomats and caravans was just barely understood. Good luck, all!

A full lighthouse, I hope

[Scouse Gits]

There does not look to be a chance for me to fit this one in at the moment - must pass - sorry about the delay

I shall try and force the time to play out my few turns on the No wonders game...

SG[1]

Georgraphy is, I suppose, the study places named "Georgia?"

@ Straybow's comment.

I suspected SG [1][ might run into time trouble.
Go get'm, Stray...

Enuff fun for now

–525 Review: Ah, the sleazy little kingdom spreads like a rash across the continent, heartily endeavoring to infect its neighbors. Sleaze, saith the speakers of sooth, is the only way to stomp without trade. All I can dredge up from the doctrines of DaveV: maximize growth until size 2, then shields. That, and I'm trying to remember what the heck SMERSH is.

Harumph! BanF built only 1 away from canal site that would have allowed AntiG, AlasNV, and NadaH to contribute to the Navy…

–500 Ummmm, not much happens. Oh, we discover Writing but don't care much.
–––– Big continent discovered to the Southeast
–475 SMERSH Temple complete, now we start a legitimate Dip (to the Mongols)
–––– Hut Mysticism; Continent discovered to South; Babs build Pyramids
–450 Exploring, building

–425 Drop off more units near Trade No More
–400 Alas Temple; spot Celt unit; Indian Phalanx kills our Horsies near TNM
–375 ExtinctC Temple; Pay 50g to keep Celts cool; they won't swap anything
–––– find Bombay
–350 NoTopHat Temple; stumble into Buffalo, Abe wants 100g, swaps Pot for Cur
–––– Warriors become Vet croaking Indian Horsie; tickling here and there

–325 Continent to South sweeps around to West as well! Have Dip, will travel
–300 Caravanless Temple; Hut Legion; Colossus built in Bombay
–275 Ban Freights Temple; Washington located, deliver bananas to Abe but he
–––– tells us to stop leaving Horsie droppings on precious American soil
–250 Locate Boston; Embassy established in Delhi; a little tickling

–225 Report from exploring Warriors: Indians have Elies; Adv Tribe WayOutWest
–200 Warriors unit deserters survivors report on size of Elie feet, tusks, etc.
–175 Locate New York; The Producers is sold out; 21 says our Warriors are
–––– underdressed and suggest they go somewhere else; Nada Hari Diplomat
–150 Lighthouse illuminates the seas for our mighty Triremes!

–125 SMERSH Barracks; locate Chicago; rah in hiding, Ming threatens to ban us
–100 Venerable Bede says were the best; NAFTAno, LackingA Temples; Malaise
–––– founded on tip of southeastern continent
–075 Blasted Aztec beat us to Philosophy by 1 turn! Traces of another civ
–––– far to the south; Dastardly American sneak attack wipes out WayOutWest
–050 Philosophy; Warriors kill American Dip; Adv Tribe Slump joins us
–––– cowardly Indians sneak attack (kills their Phalanx, then our Heffalump)
–025 Celts ally with Indians; send Emissary to see if they will declare war (no?)
–––– Elie stomps Settler (becomes vet)

Guess I'll hand off now. Built Settlers, Triremes, and Elies. Making Barracks to vanquish our enemies. Got a start on mining hidden Silks immediately NE of AntiG and BanF. Started moving Heffalumps to send to America (Dip already on the way), but now with hostilities in the north it might be better to change directions.

[Straybow]

Yummy! Two hidden Pheasant near Slump! (Special is always 2 tiles NE or SW of Hut; pattern dictates NE, and fixes second hidden.)

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Nice play...!

Ahh, the chaos of an early conquest attempt. Can't wait for my turns!

SMERSH - contraction of 'Smyert Shpionem' trans. 'death to spies' (hoping not to be corrected by Russian speakers). Go read an old James Bond novel!

You're up, Hydey...
