	Turn thread - 410 AD Full PM-box? Change here!

Northern part

Swamp Castle finishes Aqueduct, starts ???. Granary seems good. There are still free land tiles, before a Harbor will be needed (what a waste...). BUT, I think we need to make that Galley to send it south. It takes only 3 turns to build here...

Castle Anthrax can use a Hill instead of a Forest, to have the Settler in 3 turns, not 4. This is getting a bit messy as grassland got Irrigated now. Not much can be helped here, methinks.

As cities grow, we need to move the citizens to the west. This means slowly lowering the production of Joyous Garde, Tintagel, Castle Aaaagh by making them work more sea tiles.

Two Spears can be upgraded. Or, we could rush the Temple in Castle Aaagh next turn, so that it can build a Granary just before it grows...

Southern part
Anticipated Monkey stack south-east of our main army. Should be almost in range of Catapults.

Huh - I didn't get the save, guess someone forgot an address in the list.

Go ahead and play the turn Modo.

Trip is having trouble with his e-mail. he posted the save in the tracker thread.

Turn played and sent. What happened:

• Swamp Castle is building a Galley now.
  
• Took Settlers and Workers out of the stack in the south. Started moving them to the planned city spots closer to Siege Perilous. Gave them a Spear as defense.
  
• The rest of the stack moved directly south. They met a Monkey poo-flinger battery, fortified in a Forest near Marmoset.
  
• Irrigated a Bonus Grassland near Tim's Peak.
  
• Irrigated another Bonus Grassland - near Cave of Caerbannog.
  
• Lots of MM, mostly due to the quickly changing food conditions.
  
• Joined Ernest to Cave of Caerbannog. I suppose Mike could follow next turn. The city would be stable at 10 population, 15 or 16spt.
  
• Joined a Worker to Holy Grail. As it cannot use the Aqueduct (not before RRs), switched to Markteplace.
  
• Worker "Idle" renamed to "Holy Grail" and moved close to Camelot. You know what to do next turn.
  
• Upgraded two Spears to Musketeers.
  
• Moved the Settler up north to the planned city spot.
  
• Sent our map to CoD.
  
• The Domestic Advisor sez: build more cities.

Can we add some muskets to the defense team for the settlers headed south? Call me paranoid, but I still think the monkeys are planning some sort of sneak attack. That's the really the only reason why, I think, they'd continue to abondon cities and isolate themselves in the tundra, rather than fight to maintain cities with decent terrain...

And, of course, we need city names.

That would make two of us paranoid, and we just can't have that, Octavian.

Paranoia aside, I am starting to think they're abandoning cities to avoid crippling WW. In other words, we have yet to approach a city they thought they could keep. I can't remember whether or not they've gone Republic, and don't have my PTW disc, so I can't open a save to find out. If they haven't, obviously my WW theory is crap, and paranoia kicks back in.

We have no Settlers moving from the north to the south. All 3 Settlers got out of the offensive stack, and they are moving north from their current location. They are currently 2 tiles apart from our mega stack.

That would be difficult, as CoD has been clobbering the Monkey navy all along. But I see your point - better safe than sorry.
