They're probably blocking the coastline with the new units and holding out for marines. I guess we'll just have to move 122 and see.

Thoughts

Howler will be Monkey Island until the Modern era, so we need a Plan B for 'Army Group Frumpy' - either regroup for an assault with the Longbows or farm barbs in the south, while keeping Monkey honest in their souuthern defences.

Krill, on the diplo maybe a short follow-up PM to the most recent turn players of the teams we haven't heard from. There's a remote possibility that Monkey propaganda has turned them against us, but more likely changes or shortages in staff are responsible.

We could just say ' Hi, who is our contact now? - it would be good to get in touch as its been a while etc'

Damn. I was worried about that. So be it. They will live. Nothing we can do about it.

I say go barb huntin' in the south with our horsemen, and after we nail the barb camp by the coast, let's go for the hill 2-2 of Baboon. That should tie down a couple of numids.

Thanks for the screenie of the southwest

Hmm, the next few cities:

Corinth 441.
Frisco 221.
Frisco 4411.

...

Once we have invention, I suspect our cities will automatically switch from archers to longbowmen. At that point, we probably want to switch those that have accumulated relatively few shields over to spearmen and cats.

We need lots of spears. I'd like to see a stack of doom of 20 longbows, 10 spears, and 10 cats.

10 warriors - too many. Let's see about toasting a couple of those to keep costs down. Preferably in cities slow-buildling cats.

	Got spare money?

just a thought, but can we attempt to build Leos? If we get that, build enough horses and upgrade, we can slaughter Monkey. I do belive that we should go straight for cav, easiest way to trash Monkey asap and future homeland defense. it will also help Tabemono kill LL (with their wierd but efficient RCP)

We could take a shot at Leos, but I'd wager we will lose it to either Tabemono or Latin Lover.

If we were to go for it, Swindon is probably the best place for it.

	Inflate your Upload Space

By the way, once we start cutting jungle in the Cheeky Monkey area, west of the river, let's make sure we irrigate a tile or two so we can extend irrigation westward to the cities in the hills (Frisco and the city to be built at Corinth 441). Those towns will likely use mostly irrigated grassland to balance out their use of mined hills/mountains.

I wouldn't be surprised if Tabemono was prebuilding Leos, but who knows? If Monkey succeed in defending against the next wave, then we'll have to press on to Cav, but if the longbow assault can knock out enough of their units then the dash for cav will be wasted (unless we want to go full-time warmonger on the other continent).

	Warriors Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

We still need some warriors while land is unsettled in the southwest, and we've been using a couple by each the sea routes from Monkey and LL - around Plymouth and New Plymouth (also Coventry). They're only fig-leaves, I suppose but we'd be stark bollock naked without them!
