    Thanks to Togas for allowing me access to this forum.

    Since I have plenty of reading right now, if someone could summarize the following for me, I would appreciate it; Military, Economic and Foreign matters relating to RP.

      Military: We are the strongest nation in the world acording to the military advisor.

      We worked hard to get it, but finally did

        Some notes to help you find your way around our forum:

        Each turn has it's own thread, and turn results and image links are posted there. OliverFA and I both play the turns, each of us has our own web page for posting images, and we each post links to our pages with each report.

        most recent turnthread

        The web page's screenshots will give you most of the information you need.

        We have the largest and strongest military in the world, which is mostly made up of spears. You can see most of them on the map, the ones you can't see are:

        2 spears in Pamplona
        3 spears in Saragossa
        3 spears in Santiago
        1 spear & 3 swords in Madrid

        Economically, we are paying Legoland 10gpt, and have our research at 0%, going all tax. We are doing this because Legoland is giving us Monarchy on turn 81.

        We have 123g and are making 15gpt

        We are at peace with all nations. Our current status with each of the following teams is:

        Neu Dem: Non-Aggression pact recently resigned. Old pact ran out at 1000bc. New pact runs out 20 turns after that ... which should be turn 100. Member of the 1075bc Pact.

        GoW: No pacts other than a map trade if either of us aquire Legoland's map or Vox/GS map. A few residual "no-trades." General scheming and an open line of communications. Member of the 1075bc Pact

        Legoland: A "most favored nation" trade status and Research Pact, both of which Legoland generally ignores. Legoland is isolationist. Legoland has a pact to give us Monarchy (which they got from a hut), and we are to pretend that we reserached it ourselves.

        Vox Controli: No formal relations until recently when we worked out a long term peace (Non-Agg until turn 120). Relations were improving, with several discusions about spliting costs to aquire tech, but their landing on Bob has seriously cooled relations again.

        Gathering Storm: Virtually no formal relations. A few tech trades in the past.


        1075bc Pact -- alliance of Bob Nations to stand together and remove any outside nation that tries to create or take cities on our continent. Recently enacted, the Vox "invasion" will be the first test of this alliance.

          Oh, I say, Senor Trip...

          If you are interested, I have prepared several decent notes on the founding of Spain, and the war which surrounded its creation. Senor Pikesfan, a good man and true, has prepared a list of the Kings of Spain, the mighty Togans.

          Splendid to have a historian around, what what?

          Being a historian myself, and a collector of Spanish archaelogical artifacts (take this ancient Spanish bone spoon, for example...probably two years old), I would be delighted to assist you in any way possible.

            Ancient? Archeological?

            BTW, Fernand, I doubt you are the richest person in Spain. You do not realize half how rich the House Cian is, but we Cian do simply not shout it from the housetops like you do. Jewelry business is very good going business you know, like the dyes business. I am stil monopolist in those branches. Not to mention the house-business.

              Senor Aidun, at present we control the bread and seafood market.

              Everyone eats bread and seafood.

              Only the rich can afford dyes and jewels.

                But Spain is soo rich Fernand. Your wife was in the jewelry shop yesterday with Señor Fernandez's wife. My shopkeeper came telling me enthusiasticly. She bought for over 50 gold golden and silver bracelets, rings, brooches, buckles etc. Some stuck with the extremely expensive diamonds from the north, others stuck with expensive opals from the Eneres Mountains, pearls, amethyst from Arabia and lapis from Persia.
                With such customers, the business is very profittable.

                      Count Tripula was a fascinating historical figure in his own right. I understand that Senor Trip is his direct descendant.

                      Senor Aidun...blast that woman! No wonder my coffers suddenly shrank yesterday...it's all filled up again, but at this rate, I'm never going to make a red cent...

                      (And she nags me for buying books! HAH!)

                      Senor Winterus, of course that is so. My great friend and associate! May you live a thousand years!

                          It is not that worse Oliver, Fernand's wife bought jewelry for over 50 gold. Your fife bought jewelry for just a 37 gold. She regulary visits the shop, that's what my shopkeeper told me. But she's also often at one particular tailor. He makes the finest silk clothes. I know of it because I sell dyes to him and speak him from time to time.
                          My wife wants the silk clothes too, but I keep the money. If she wants clothes, I'll judge if I think she needs them and then I'll give her just enough mony to buy the clothes. I get also a little discount because he buy's the dyes from me and jewelry is being bought of the overprofit of the jewelry business. My personal countslave keeps track of that however.
