Yes, the settlers are in position for possible cities at FL and the spices in 3 turns, should we wish. Invention is next turn, and Gunpowder 5/6 turns maybe after that. Then we really know where we are.

We have two turns left to decide on Heliopolis in case we wanted a library there (this would be to hold it's land if RP move in and build temples), but a mkt would probably be better.

We need to keep options open for FP in Spain, or Eliopolis just-in-case. Next turn we decide pike or mkt/ch in New Madrid.

II don't think there's anything else, so lets go with that.

Also, in the event that we will be keeping the Spanish cities and building new ones on Bob, I happen to be a big fan of Walls if we can get enough troops there from elsewhere.

Are we going to be better off ferrying the northern Knights back to N. Stormia, or sending the whole fleet straight south?

Little information about my poem and how it came to beeing written...

I had just read in our private forum about the battle and how well it ended for ND. Well I was pleased to put it mildly. So I was in the mood to write such a thing.
I wrote it just as fast as I could type it.

ND AWs were... involved.

So how did they get there and where did they go?

Perhaps they're all on that cow-tile but we've had no screenies from RP - unless they're in someone's mailbox or I missed them.

from H_E on the gen forum :

Congratulations to all team members, lurkers, and the historian who have made it so far.

And a toast to all of our fallen pixel comrades.
Especially those who have died for the battle of the forested tile “Pampalona 1”
Surely this tile has seen more GoW, ND, RP & GS deaths than any other tile in the game.
Perhaps the Spanish can release the name of this forest of doom?

Perhaps the Spanish could tell their aliies what the hell happened!

Well played turn, btw... you are better at MM than I.

Man, did we f*ck up with the retreat, or what? SR was right, we should have just disbanded the 7 Knights, or pillaged, or something. In retrospect, we knew that there were 40+ enemy 3-movers in the theatre. Also in retrospect (and this is what comes of playing humans versus the AI), I should have realized that Pamp74 was an untenable position with no retreat capability. C'est la guerre... damn it.
