Urgent business


I believe we should start pulling back some of our riders down south, at least those facing GS. ND is in REXing phase and has already built various cities close to the coast and has more on the way.

I propose that next turn we move the stack east of Mavdad and relocate it in the Irongard-Yellowknife vicinity.

Also, Poly wasn't loading when I played the turn so I didn't rename the new city as per Panzer's suggestion (I had named it Death Valley). I will rename it this turn, sorry.

We also get MT this turn and will have a 200g+ surplus which means we can pay off our debt to GS this turn.

I suggest that we defend the territory that is ours on the eastern shore of Bob.

	Put an end to popups!

my plans are only to withdraw the stacks, not the individual lookouts. Considering the threat of another GS invasion is pretty much close to nil, I don't see why we need over half our Rider force still outside our territory.

Yap, lets bring back the stacks for upgrade.

One issue is this "what to research after MT". Lego doesn't have physics(at least as of one turn ago) so they can't be starting yet on TOG. Do we go 100% gold to make money or go for say eco in the meantime.

I will ask GS if they have or are working on eco and if they are willing to trade MT for it...

First an observation.

We can have eco in 5 turns at -91gpt..

Now the questions.

1)Does GS have it.
2)Can we get Adam Smiths.
3)How long before Lego/GS get TOG.

If the answer to 2 is no there is no purpose of Eco and we might as well load up on gold and save it for future research.
Lego is making Adam Smiths in Lego. Lets say to them that the sistine Chapel was promised to them in good faith and that it was not meant to be a prebuild. IE if they use it as such we will go after sistine. Perhaps a deal can be struck they do sistine and we get Adam Smiths. this in exchange for a peaceful constructive relationship. In shorrt if they get Adam smiths we know they win unless we take them down. I actually think they might give it up for a peace promise. Remember they still have a good advantage, but war is unpredicatable and they could lose. Thus their best course is to give it up. Maybe we move that first galleon where they can see it too. just as a reminder. Also this is something that MUST NOT BE SHARED with others even ND. They all assume that LEgo will get Adam smniths and won't even pursue it. In short if these negotiations work out we can get a great wonder free of charge and w/o competition.
So if they don't give it up Aggie wants BLOOD.


Also if they do go for it, offert them around 500 for eco. That way we can go 100% tax and make 200+ a turn. Thus saving us money. This might sweeten the offer too.

Good idea

btw, we can't make 200+ a turn (yet)

GS does not have Eco, but they will get ToG in one turn.

Lego has switched the Sistine to Adam Smith's.

In the meantime I am setting this turn to 100% tax, this will give us some gold for upgrades (only 10g for each Rider -> Cav upgrade)
