BTW, what does the name "Alexander's dead" mean?

[Gilgamensch]

FYI, I asked Locutus to post a news item for the succession game, so don't be surprised if more people will join.

No, I don't want to slow the game down, but I only have limited access to the web on the weekend, so most possible my post will be monday morning. (Unless Tamerlin and HuangShang will both finish before Thursday afternoon )

You'll be fine whatever happens, 3 day rule for everyone and its not really a definite rule, its just for people who give no reason for being slow and we dont know when to expect them back.

That's why I posted in advance, just that people know, why I am lazy

But I just checked, Locutus, still hasn't posted the news :doitnow:

Map of the Known World - 5400 B.C

The Sage of Delineation has compiled the knowledge aquired from our scouts and from our diplomatic efforts to create this map of the known world.

The red dots represent the probable Capitol of each country while the white ones represent other cities. The gray dots represent the likely location of other hidden cities based on the borders.

[EPW]

I would like to note that the city Larissa is in a very precarious position between three other civilizations. Perhaps we should consider disbanding and moving elsewere?

[HuangShang]

yeah i was thinking that too
the capitol distance, poor military position and being right next to a mountain all seem very bad

now that i've thought it through, i'd say the roaming nomad just east of the main domain should head NW instead
and then, the disbanded Larissa can settle in the eastern fringes where you have all those hills for high production
