	Put an end to popups!

they appear next to workers, settlers, scouts, and explorers for sure. I think they even appear next to galleys... better not take any risks, we can afford the couple of infs right now.

So Lego got 3 leaders so far.

Yes... but they didn't exactly help much. First one created an army, that never won a fight until it was destroyed and no cities remained (they can build the Mil Academy now, only problem is where ). The other 2 appeared in cities that were about to be taken.

Do we know any other civ got a leader? We got one, of course (quite lucky as well to get one, as it was our first elite battle), but did the Bobians receive a leader? I can't remember...

Ah, forgot that. Did they create an army that you know of? It would be important, as the mil academy can give 4-cav armies, which can take on MIs relatively safely.

The leader came at the perfect time for their FP at the end of the war - we always assumed they spent it on that.

From what I gathered from the old threads (I've read most of them, they are so fascinating) we thought that the GL become the FP in the south (though I can't remember where)

It's strange... normally I've got a near perfect memory (except for names of people I meet), but the Bobian thing seems to be blocked. Now that you (both) mention the FP, somewhere I do remember it, but it's certainly not active at the front.

Okay. So no team has the Mil Academy so far... while they might not be the best investment, I prefer all teams without an abundance of armies.

If we had a spy on ND we would know if they currently have an army. They would if they ever made one, I would think you would not disband it.

We should try planting spies soon again, so we can get more info on the armies of both GoW and ND. If ND doesn't have marines, there is little reason to be paranoid.

Armies: I would at this moment disband a 3x Ansar army. 100 shields, right? That's a CH or PS in a far away city.

proposed report to GoW
As you've read in the battle report, we've taken Abilene. Lego has fled the land, and into some transports (7 to be exact), together with 3 settlers. We're not sure where they're heading, but we've got a good idea where one group is, and have spotted the second.

Other things: As you can see, we have not taken on the Lego units near Port Sacrifice. We were not sure if we could destroy them, and had little artillery to soften them up first. They should give no problems to your army, and maybe even give you an opportunity for an elite victory or two. We also left you a couple of land-to-sea bombardments. They should proof easy prey for you. We're currently pursuing the 2 Lego groups left (although if the Northern one turns towards ND, we can't reach them before they hit land.)

Further, we are currently blocking the chokepoint to Vox. Lego is near, and in case they would try something foolish we should be able to stop them. We should also be able to stop Vox, unless they somehow manage to storm us with 30 tanks or so.

Now, regarding the division of land: we did settle a new city, as you have noticed, near the dyes. This not to claim the site as ours, but simply to claim immediate lux for our cities. We tried to keep as far from you as possible, and only have 1 source. Once we get some final deal in place, we'll happily disband the city if that's necessary. We should start talks on this soon, btw, but let's wait until after the holidays.

Some further info:


Lego troops on boats:
- 3 settlers
- 31 inf
- 6 tanks (damaged except 1)
- 10 artillery

BTW, do you need computers now? You still have 1070 g to pay for the tech (if we counted right, so correct me if I'm wrong), but MZ mentioned a couple of turns ago that perhaps you wanted the tech in 1275 AD, certainly not sooner. It is 1275 AD, so do you need it already?

I was wondering if they even knew. Somewhere along our coast would be close enough for them... it doesn't help us though.

Or, would the ship have been on top of the other RP ships?
