worker moves next.

But if we don't clear for subs we stand to lose a Transport and 8 units with bad luck.

movement continued
- 3 slaves RR the road on NI 9. That makes a total of 4 workers on this tile, better protect it
- 2 slaves move to Abilene 7.
- 1 slave next to our 4/5 T moves onto the tank. (wasn't on RR)
- 1 slave on jungle moves 8 onto forest.

that leaves exactly 4 slaves which can move... but as we don't have the chance to create a colony anyway in case GoW would try something (the slave's escort would certainly be destroyed), that's okay.

- 4 slaves move to former Panama location, and build fortress.

Next: build a Dye city (PS 22 it will be). Anybody has an original name?

Aurora Borealis? Closest thing I can figure for a colorful "storm".

Which is why I proposed to use the 2/4 DD we have left to clear for subs.

With the 2/4 going N, and the 1/4 going E, we should have the first 2 pieces of sea covered. The expense is of course to Hub 3 will be exposed.

Hub 3 will be moved one tile top the N, otherwise our transports can't reach it.

We can use 1 transport from our M attack to chain units from NI onto the transport going W. This means we can move 2 transports there, instead of 1. I know it's not ideal, but it's a bit of protection against subs.

We still need luck in the next 2 steps, unless we want to use the DD on Hub 2 to go to Hub 1 (I would prefer him going S, to get in the neighbourhood of the transports)

Fine by my. A bit strange to have the notherlight on the equator, but oh well

What about "Aurora Equatoris", then. More geographically correct (gramatically I can't promise...)

[DeepO]

movement continued
- settler moves to PS 222 from NI.
Settles new city "Aurora Borealis".
Build set to barracks, no rush.
We know have 8 lux in all our cities again

- 1 MI moves to AB from NI, and forts.
- 1 MI moves to Panama fort, and forts.

This might be a good time to take a screenshot for GoW, before all our troops are moved permanently.

[Aeson]

Yah... rename it Aurora Equatoris.

mja... perhaps. It doesn't have the same connotation, of course. Let's keep it as is for the moment, we can always change it later on. If more members comment on this before the end of the turn, I'd be happy to change it

[DeepO]

x-post... okay... 2 votes for, none against. Name changed

[Aeson]

I wonder whether or not the magnetosphere could be that far out of alignment with the rotational axis? (While still having earthlike conditions)

[Krill]

Well, technically it should be Aeqatoris, but it is easier to read as it is now...
