Unless someone gives me a rough template for a turn thread, I don't really no what to post.

But feel free to spam away anyway...

If we hope to establish a border with AC and Nana near ther narrows, we need to be able to show them screen shots. I doubt anyone is going to give us land that is showing as unknown on our own maps.

I understand it is the wrong way, but perhaps we should consider having Spinebreaker backtrack to clear out the narrows.

Either that or forgo talks of borders and invite exploration and settlement towards Vox.

I'm not sure what to advise. There is a lot of ground between nana and us, and possibly even more towards AC. I'm not sure how urgent borders are.

[Arrian]

I think we might want to wait for them to make the first move vis-a-vis border negotiations. We can formulate our desired proposal in the meantime, and if that means redirecting Spiney, so be it.

They're gonna meet Vox, or at the very least find out they exist. Banana clearly already mentioned us to them (perhaps w/o anything specific). Once Banana meets Vox, they will most likely tell AC about it. So from the standpoint of Vox, I don't think a hastily-negotiated border treaty is going to help us.

Long-term, I approve of such a treaty, and obviously the narrower the border the better - easier to defend.

Nothing else to do really, but I won't officialy play/send the turn on if we want to settle some diplomacy first...?

Note the copper by Banana, the Barb in sight, and Vox has moved the warrior in their capital to join the outside Archer - maybe he's going to the gold hill?

Beckham needs to head back to Wines site now.

The worker next turn moves to the Wines floodplain and starts a farm. Just note that for next turn.


Vox have moved their warrior onto the plains forest to fornicate with the archer. Tree hugging may also be involved, it seems Vox really loves those trees. REALLY loves the trees.

[Arrian]

So the real question for this turn is whether to send Spinebreaker north (8) or to turn back and angle southeast.

WTF? I take it Nanan don't have BW, otherwise they really should have the plains cows/copper site (9hpt at size 2, with +2 fpt? an 14hpt at size 4? And instead they settled way to the south to block off the peninsula?)

[Arrian]

Clearly one of those two, possibly (probably?) both.

You mean next turn. The shot above is after moving as intended this turn - 7 onto the hill.

[Hot Mustard]

NYE - are we holding for diplomatic reasons - or should I just play the turn?

Blake: Thanks for the reminder on Beckham.

[Arrian]

Oh, yes, next turn then. Sorry.

No need for apology - are you a Canuck too?
I could have made it clear the shot was post-move.

[notyoueither]

Holy double posts. I thought I was editing. What happened to flood control?

No, go ahead.

For future turns I will post a request to slow the turn if I think it would be a good idea.

Also, I'm at work a lot and don;t check all the threads from there. A PM is a good idea if you want to get my attention during the day.
