That's very far from us, and we have other things to worry about, but I just wanted to call your atention about this. In the 1525BC F8 Screen, Vox lost 8 points (from 58 to 50). At this stage of the game that can only be a lost city. Does that mean that they are at war with GS?

They certainly are being quiet about it. I want to watch the campaign unfold. That's the only way to observe human vs. human tactics with any degree of safety."The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country." -- Abraham Lincoln

Please compare Vox's loss with Lux Invicta as this little anomoly may not be a war, it may be something else entirely.

From the Saved Game Thread:
I think I get it - Trip is hinting that he is no longer on the same continent, but is overseas. Since Vox seems to have lost a city, maybe they arranged a trade which included giving Lux a city on their continent. It explains his comment above, Vox's score, and jibes with Trip's earlier comment about having a "survival" plan just in case.Originally posted by Trip
Our bottle supply seems to be running low, but we managed to find one to ship overseas.
If this theory is true -
What a great escape act by Trip/Lux!

Note: Trip did tell me his "survival plan" but would only do so if I swore not to tell it to anyone. While I cannot say it, or confirm it, it is not difficult to discover when we look at the intelligence and the few clues I have previously given.

The facts:
I'm completely sure. Vox has a city less than they had early. Their culture production has decreased by 2 points per turn. Most likely a temple in that lost city.
Lux culture production has completely stopped but their score is almost the same except that now is 11 instead of 10.
The Guess:
They could have made some kind of deal with Vox to get that city in exchange of they-know-what. In that case they would have raced their third city in that continent the same time they got the other from Vox.
Can I tell that to other civs, or is it classified?

I just realized my interpretation of Trip's comment may have been wrong - he may simply meant that he was sending the bottle to Legoland's continent, as they are after Lux, and everyone knows they are on a continent by themselves. However, it still seems a curious time for him to start using language like that. Also, we know that Vox and GS have a tense relationship, but they are nowhere close to war, afaik.
Operating under the temporary assumption that Vox did give Lux a city, what implications does this have on that continent?
Thoughts/Questions:
-We suspect that continent is smaller than ours, so it is very doubtful it can hold three civs.
-What kind of city did they get? Any luxuries/resources?
-If I were Vox, I would give them my most corrupt city - the furthest from my capital, and likely, closest to GS.
-What did Vox get in return? Cash? Techs? A formal alliance?
-What will GS's reaction be to this?Comment
