	Notice of Absense Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Cort (and MS and FP),

I will be away from this afternoon (4pm EST) until Monday afternoon (not sure exactly when) and even then I have stuff to do so I may not be online much. Tuesday I'll be back for sure.

I assume 1-2 turns will be played in that time, so do as you think is best.

Here are my thoughts, though:

I really think we should send the settler south, and as he nears the hills southwest of Silkfest, he should pick up at least 2 spearmen escorts. The stooges should go south as well, and get 1 spear escort. We may want to upgrade another chariot or two, and send those south as well, just in case.

I think we should begin moving FP back to the east/northeast (keeping him on high ground) and the regular archer might want to move into Corinth.

Dunno when he'll finish, but the worker roading towards the forest-by-cow city site may want to bring irrigation out there (from Swindon, through a bonus grass if possible) so we can get some more pop growth. We need it. Swindon can stand to lose a shield.

I will send PMs to SR, con and beta telling them to PM you instead of me in the next few days.

	Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Unfortunately we can't upgrade the chariots until we get our horses back.

You mentioned cutting roads being preferable to war-peace, but we'd have to cut both CoS-4 and Cos-7 or CoS-7 and Cos-77. Python also have a worker irrigating on Tims Peak-2, who'll want to road next which will be another connection.
