	Where Do We Split with PAL? Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Debate on this issue has occured in this thread but we need to resolve this issue.

As I see it, we have the following options:

1) Wait until we have fully scouted out the entire continent and then divide the map 50/50 with PAL based on total land size.

2) Wait until we have fully scouted out the entire continent and then divide the land based primarily on quality land, secondly on total land size.

3) Discuss a fair split of the continent with PAL now, based on a split somewhere in the narrow peninsula region

the narrow peninsula region:


4) Discuss a fair split of the continent with PAL now, but trying to get more land.

5) Accept any somewhat fair split of the land at the request of PAL, we do not want to anger our allies.


ALSO,

No one has posted proposals for a different split than the one I have posted. Please post where you would draw the line, if you want a split now as opposed to later.

I would be happy to move my line up or down a few tiles. My main concern is that we split up the continent at that narrow defensible point. I also feel we should discuss this now with PAL before they start settling south in a mad land grab.

I voted for a split in the middle now. I feel there is plenty of land for both of us to expand into and stopping PAL from going farther south is important.

That it would be easily defensible also is a factor.

On a seperate note: How are we going to deal with the cities that are captured from CDG?

I voted 3 because I think it's the most fair. Togas's original proposal made the most sense to me.

3, moving the line up to the narrowest spot, giving us their silk colony eventually.

The only problem with that, is that the border would be very close to a PAL city, thus letting them have units within a tile or two of the border, otherwise, I would agree with you. And asking them to disband Crudetown would be too much.

We'll be lucky if we can get away with #3.

No, they will be lucky if we let them have so much.

In any case we need to get to a resolution on this or at least start the resolution soon.

PAL is giving us the impression from corrospondence that they have a settler heading for the Ivory Area north of the CDG core as we speak.

The more cities they settle south of the line, the tougher the sell will be.

However and I need to look it up, in one of the chats F-P did say that if they founded a city near CDG they would give it to us. If necessary we shall remind them of that
