Fair enough.
We'll discuss it after the game.

Ack. I'll fix the map in the update. I thought I was going to escape any errors... but

Thanks for catching it

I have a question... would anyone object if we added a small feature to the Colosseum?

Currently:



However, I suggest to add immunity to enemy espionage.

A note: Espionage is not discoverable until level 7 unless someone builds the trojan horse, in which case someone IS producing spies perhaps as soon as turn 3. Also, the Colosseum expires at level 8 tech, which would possibly be as early as turn 5. I think this change would make Colosseum a little more strategically valuable.

You mean it's not now?

[DarkCloud]

Theben also pointed out another important thing in a PM.

In bidding for wonders, the losers get their gold back.

(I just fixed the chart to adjust the gold appropriately)

Jonny gets an extra 1 gp than he had previously written, and MJW has an extra 2gp than he had previously written.

Murphy's law would figure that those two are the only ones who already submitted their orders

[DarkCloud]

Well, hopefully it won't be an issue EPW.

Eventually, we should change the rules though, since it would make sense.

Without the change, Colosseum isn't amazingly useful.

Perhaps a gentleman's agreement can be exacted from whoever builds the wonder that allows early spies to avoid targeting EPW unless absolutely necessary (thus targeting would only be appropriate if he shows signs of becoming a juggernaut before Tech 8 is released)?

[Sparrowhawk]

Sent!

And a question, is the Empire of Pwnage the pawner or the pawnee?

/me

[Spaced Cowboy]

orders are in.

[Theben]

Orders sent a while ago, I think.

[Hercules]

oops missed start . Sign me for next one if there is one.

[DarkCloud]

I think I have everyone's orders. Currently Processing. Thanks

Hercules, We'll be glad to have you for the next game... with luck, it'll probably start sometime after Aug 20th!

[MJW]

Damn I did not get "plus-one" post count for writing 'Sent.' again...

[DarkCloud]

MJW okay. I'll use those revised orders.

Society Update: Turn 2

New Tech Level Costs:
(3) Monarchy 3
(4) Architecture 8

* The enlightened Empire of Kira's Kingdom threw off the shackles of oppression and put on the shackles of monarchy when King Kira MJW I was installed to much fanfare and rejoicing.

To mark the glorious day, King Kira MJW I ordered the comissioning of a beautiful TROJAN HORSE.

* The Empire of Texas and The Empire of Greater Missouri almost came to pistols over a small swath of territory. Eventually, however, Columbia (I7) was founded by tenacious Missourians.

The Texas-Missouri Compromise resulted in the building of Fort Worth in (J6) by the Empire of Texas. Still, Missouri stationed TWO NEW troops on the volatile Rio Grande border.

It is assumed slavery is practiced in Fort Worth, whereas it is probably outlawed in Columbia... Or perhaps it is the other way around? Considering how both countries are despotisms, it is entirely likely slavery and serfdom prevails in each!

Missouri also constructed the TOWER OF BABEL. Residents were soon discovered to be speaking in Tongues.

* In far off and strange occidental Ninjabhadistan, rumors of construction of a grand SILK ROAD were heard. Who knows to what degree this ROAD may come to shake the world?

* The Scientists of the enlightened empire of Ninjabadhistan and Texas were hard at work, researching Tech 4.

* The inscrutable Birds of Prey concentrated on constructing Citadels for their multitude of progeny.

Note: If this report and the chart contradict each other; presume the chart to be correct... it's computer generated- this is done by hand!

Another note: If your empire borders another, please give at least one alternative location for your city. Spaced Cowboy's city was shifted from its intended location to (J...) because Jonny sent his orders for city location in first.

Maximum Caravans Sent With Silk Road?

Does anyone know what the max sent with silk road is? I looked at the old game and Spaced Cowboy never sent more than his tech-3... but there doesn't appear to be a limit... Should it be the tech level of the owner of the wonder?
