[Togas]

post away. There is much to discuss

[BigFree]

One down, One to go.

Bilboa: Worker finished on this turn. We shall call him "Small Fry" and turn him over to ET.

Begin production of another Worker.

[History Guy]

Well, in Toledo there's a bit to report...

We'll expand to size five, which means that we'll probably be at size six when we get our settler...

We'll have a Medieval Infantry unit out in seven turns.

Don Iago Calamari de Toledo

[astrologix]

Barcelona : no changes

Pamplona:

I heard the cows out there in the pastures. Of course, all they said was 'moooo', but I know what they are really saying. That's Bovine for "Build me a Granary", so I reply,"Shut the hell up, cow!!! "

They say they found me wandering around the streets of Pamplona, crying and sputtering these crytic words over and over again: "No changes this turn. No changes this turn. No changes this turn..."

[ooc] no changes this turn... [/ooc]

Results

GS has, indeed, taken the Vox chokepoint of Eliopolis. The war looks grim.

Our Military is Weak to GS, Ave to ND, Strong to GoW, Lego, and Vox

We are #1 in Family Size and approval rating
However, our GNP, Manufacturing, and Population are all #5.

military:
Jungle Patrol E
Toledo Guard FORT
Mountain Maul FORT
Pamplona Garrison SE, S, SE
Smashing Maul 5 SW, SW, FORT
Coastal Guard & Vigo Guard NE, UPGRADE
Madrid Exp N (will FORT next turn)
Barcelona Edge FORT
Valencia Edge W, W, S
Valencia Bounty Hunter NW
GuObs SW (sees no barbarians here)

Nina (unloaded) S, S, W

Santa Maria S, S, E (had to change, GS ships in the way)

workers:
Small Fry SW
Arnelos Group (2) ROAD
Barcelona Group (2) ROAD
Dejon ROAD
Astrologix ROAD

cities:

Madrid finishes Temple, starts on Barracks (Grow in 2, Barracks in 7)

Bilbao finishes worker, remains at 1, new worker in 10.

Zaragoza WF moved from 7 to 5. Growth the same, production of worker in 2.

Santiago WF changed to use the game forest. This allows Santiago to grow in 4, SETTLER in 4. (THESE ARE TEMP MOVES. WF must be changed after Settler is built)

Vigo (VERY IMPORTANT!!) Changed to Granary. It needs to keep current WF (3spt) for this turn, turn 12, and turn 13, then on turn 14 SWITCH WF to use Gems (4spt). This will give us granary 1 turn sooner, stop growth so that it is nearly filled with food, and give us extra trade.

Bareclona (because the galley only needs 6 more sheilds to be completed, I changed the WF to give us more food and growth WF set to 1-2-4-5-8. Galley in 2, Growth in 6, Commerce +2)

Toledo Barracks complete. Med Inf in 7, Growth in 7.

Leon WF from 12 to 3.
