Go ahead with the mobilization bug. At this point the damage is 'done', so to speak. I will speak with MZ about the issue so that may not be a permanent thing.

Apologies for the delay, I've been exceedingly busy as of late... (Trip types from his office)

[DeepO]

Happy Birthday Aeson!

Trip, for the bug: I'm not perfectly sure on the shield count involved for us, but it could mean that in order to offset ND's 'damage', we need to play with mobilization in a less conventional way. E.g. being in mob wile ending the war with Lego, just to build wonders in time.

PS: I can understand busyness...

Happy B-day Aeson. Looks like Lego gave us all a present.

[alva]

Happy birthday Aeson

I'd say:"have a beer on me" but seeing as you don't drink...

[Krill]

Happy Birthday Aeson I hope you had a good day.

[Cort Haus]

Bon Anniversaire, Aeson!

Diplo-wise the balls are in ND and Vox's courts respectively. Should we let RP know that we are trying to get them Fission? Also, is there anything we need to be talking to GoW about?

[vmxa1]

Um, does RP have about 7 units on Legoland? Just wondering as ND reported 7 tanks victories and did not say who they fought.

[DeepO]

No, RP has no units on Legoland. We've got a bunch of workers, GoW is a possible (but unlikely) target, and Lego had 7 units remaining... my guess is that Lego is gone.

Or we are under attack. Which would be fun

DeepO

[DeepO]

Lego had 8 units, but needed 7 victories... 1 settler who is captured without a fight.

[Krill]

The only reasoon that I can think of, for ND to kill off Legoo, is to lower the amount of gold needed to research a tech, and wouldn't that help us more than them? Or to stop them from pillaging ground, but they had no reason to do that...

Maybe we ought to rethink our Strat if Lego is gone, as we only need anoother Vote (Vox) to win Via diplo...

[Krill]

Oh, ****...Have RP got that settler in our Core yet?

[vmxa1]

Well he has said it was RP, so I guess that means we have a new war now and may face an invasion via RP. Diplo looks to be a moot point if a war is under foot.

[Krill]

Would it be acceptable to send this to Trip?

Trip,

hi Trip, how are you? Not too busy I hope...

As you are probably aware, ND have attacked RP. The problem is that they have not posted any battle report other than that 7 Tanks won. Both DeepO and vmxa1 have compained already, but I think it would be wise for this to become official quickly.

Could you please ask ND to post a battle report, to the same level of detail as GoW, Lego and GS have done. We don't care about it being in public, but we do want the rules of the gamae to be observed...


Gathering Storm

[vmxa1]

I would say we could wait a tad and see what develops. I sure woudl like to know what that means, did they sack a buch of cities on Lego or is the report just confused as to who they hit?

Do they not understand that hitting RP means a new global war now?

[Krill]

I honestly don't know. It all depends on GoW. And Uranium.

We can't build nukes without U235. the only available source of it is on lego, underneath annd ND Inf (if they were smart, they would have settled a city right next to it, rushed walls, and cut the road to the U235). Unless we invde ND and kill them (unlikely), or get it from Vox, we have no chance of winning via SS if we don't go back and reclaim that resource. Only Diplo, and Domination. And for that we would need too Kill both the GoW, and ND standing Armies...
