        UnO, if you get a chance maybe you could add exact quotes of the agreed-to terms? Not to be made public, of course - you could just quote or underline anything to be censored for a public version.

          From our diplomacy threads you mean, or a specific contract you're looking at?

          A couple might be hard to quote from the diplo threads.

          Like the hammer compensation on the unit trade was more a sprawling discussion than a defined quote.

            Ah, true.

            I guess I should have been more specific, what I'm hoping for is a centralized list of commitments, so that a turnplayer can easily look and see "these units need to be assembled at place x on turn y" or "this tech trade is scheduled to occur on turn z". What needs to happen when, essentially. The Horde and Sarantium contracts are proceeding on schedule now, but I remember having some confusion as to the exact terms, targets, and dates.

              Yeah...I'm meaning to get something of that nature up. July sucks locally here in general. Assuming we get good news from the hospital I should have a bit of a lull between the 18 and the 24 so I can look it all up and get it down right. After that, it's simple to update.

                      Restructured contract 9 to reflect it's fluid nature, and precise costs and where they come from.

                      Working on contract 10, Reparations against the Horde.

                        What do you guys feel about a 2nd offense premium on the Horde?

                        I'm thinking simple multiplication of initial cost. 2X for 2nd, 3X for third, etc.
