[History Guy]

No changes in Toledo. 3 turns to our Medieval Infantry.

Our military's power becomes greater as that of Persia, China, and Carthage shrink.

I wonder...do we know for sure that Carthage has iron?

Arab boats to the west, Chinese boats to the east, and Carthage has moved up in strength. Can nobody else read these warning signs?!?

We must settle our coastal sites asap!

We must strengthen the Spanish military by every means possible - including building regular units. Santiago will have little use for a marketplace if it gets sacked by enemies - contribute to the armies - build a pikeman!

I agree your highness. With the attention gone from Estonia, it will soon, if not already, land smack in the middle of Spain. I'm also assuming that ND has yet to reach Chivalry (no price drop); once they do, look for their Military strength rating to skyrocket and their window of attacking us to brighten.

I'm for discontinuing most domestic build projects at this time in order to get us to "Strong" when compared to ND.

It's also time to consider strengthening our relations with GoW. I would like to see an extended NAP with provisions for protecting each other from ND. WB, can you get on that for me?
