Hey mjw lives!

And just so you know, I've been here.

But we do need to decide on a few things - we have anothers ettler out shortly - and we need to determine a city site. I am still all for pushing further north - but then we had better be prepared to deal with the foreign affairs issues that may ensue.

I will get the discussion going shortly by coming up with a sugggested settlement plan - on the understanding that we may have to react to moves by our neighbour. Given their recent hovering near our num merc, I suspect they are thinking about settlement of the neutral zone as well.

We also have the galley and island (???) exploration coming up. And we will need a new tech to research shortly - and that will also likely require some FA work.

Yep - Very quiet.

Urgent issues.

Yes.. town planning.
Beta... you get your settler or two for the Northern Border. I think we agreed to letting you have a settler if you allowed us to finish the core first.
There is a 9 tile plan done already. I say we stick to it.
Note, that we can do some temporary camps @ 7 tiles if we want. These can be just temporary worker pumps.

2nd
We need more workers. 3 just aint enough.
When our 2 extra graineries come on line, we should be able to pump out settlers & workers like crazy.

3rd.
Con... get cracking on the Diplo front.
I notice CoD is in anarchy....this means they have republic.
Get it from them anyway you can. They giv us the tech now for MM later.
Bribe them if you have to.
Tell them that we are no good in a 3 way tech alliance if they keep us and Monty in Despotism. The other continent has 4 civs, and you can be guaranteed that they are working together.
I'd go so far as to tell them we will keep MM, not trade, and send out suicide galleys until we meet the other continent. Join their 4 way alliance rather than this 3 way one.
They are stupid to keep their "partners" in despotism...try to make them see that.

4th.. Beta.. remember what I said about protecting our GA. If Monty or CoD want to ensure we dont win the game.. all they have to do is suicide their warriors against Mazaru. I suggest he falls back, and let Cheeta take the guard duty.

5th.. Border negotiation.
You again Con. Tell them we are Rexing north, and we want access to silks. CoD cannot be allowed to gain full control of that luxery.

6th.. Island exploration.
Must be our first priority as soon as we get map making.
Not only must we have the galley prebuild timed perfectly... make sure we have a settler & a NM ready to load and claim the land.
There had better be Iron & Horses on it...or I will just freak.

7th Map Trade.
We could begin to insist on this.
Again...Start pushing the issue ... especially with Monty.
Monty has limited map knowledge, and is being kept tech poor by Cod just like us. We have a lot in common.
Sir Ralph is a one man team over there.


8th... I am quite drunk as I type this.
Each of my three major PBEM's currently have me at war in a life or death struggle. I feel like raising hell in this one as well.
Con... Diplo is our most important issue right now.

We need Republic, border agreement, a map trade, and MM will be finished in 5 turns....this needs to be sold.

Repubic now for map making later
3 way WM trade
A border that will give us silk

Thats it for now.... pass the bourbon

You become quite the dictator with a little bourbon.

But the tone aside - (and no apologies necessary H_E - I'm just pulling your leg) - your points are very valid.

I had forgotten to pull the NM back. And - I was not working on the planning for a settler as well to be ready in 6 turns with MM. I will check the save to see what we can do.

You guys (Drunk and sober) are working me like a rented mule!

Yes Ill get on the diplo front.

Two things I need right now.

1. The tech list updated on what we got in trade and CAN NOT trade to a third party! I have not been here the whole ggame so I can not produce an all encompassing list of techs with "baggage".

2. How many turns until MM? (Yes Ill check the turn thread.) Nope it aint there, I guess you guys are gonna actually make me look at the save as well, huh?

	Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Hi con. Do you want some help on the diplo front. We have a setteler approaching the front - and our tech research on hold - both require some diplomatic action.

If you want - I can take one or the other or both. Just let me know.

OK con - you started this thread , and then H_E went on an alcohol fueled rant (a very good one btw ) about what we need to do ...

but no one is around.

Hello!!!!!!

Any one out there??!!

Beta sits down to work on a coconut while he waits to hear from someone.

	Put an end to popups!

Flat out Beta ... sorry.
I check every day (more than once) but dont get around to posting.

I will get tanked in a couple of days and do another rant.
But basically...I am not finding anything to disagree with.

I sent out the PM to Arrian late last week. We still have not heard back yet.

Arrian is like clockwork.

He doesn't come round or post much at all on the wekends.

And he doesn't get online much at night (evenings USA Time)

But he is normally online most of the work day.

Ill give him until noon today and then send him a "nudge" PM.

Our dealings with Monty really rely on what CoD says.
