	Conjectures on the Map Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

Some observations from looking at the map sofar

Each civ has Ivory, that is totally surrounded by river. This Ivory has a Cow on Plains next to it, also next to a river. Three out ofthe 6 civs have this, and it looks like just inside of the FoW for BoH, too.

Each civ also has an additional Lux, each of them getting 3 of each (relatively close to them). We have 3 silks, BoH has 3 Dyes, AM has 3 spices, LB has 2 (3rd is likely in FOW) wines, Euph has 2 (3rd is likely in FOW) Furs and it's conjectured that DR has 3 Gems.

There are also, 2 Incense, next to the set of Volcanos (and likely the only Volcanos), which I suspect is the approximate center of the Contenent. We are closer to it and if we can, we should try for it, but we will have to keep a force of workers to clean up any Lava on constant standby if we want them.

There MIGHT, but not likely, a small island with more luxes (3rd Incense maybe??).

Did anyone notice the Fish on GrasslandMarsh, over in AM territory??

I have considered the possibility of an island. But would that be right? We agreed on pangea. Would Dom do that? If Dom would then we should look for this new land.

It might also be a safe place to hide later.

	Tired of ads?

On a pangena map, if we are actually forced to hide on an island, we've already lost.

The real use for islands is checking to see if there's any luxaries or straegtic resources on them not on our section of the mainland.

But would Dom do that in a game where we agreed to a single land mass?

re: we've already lost.
Sorry. Didn't mean to imply that I wanted to run to the island to hide now. I think we are doing fine.

	Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Not sure if he would have added an siland or islands. Given the even distribution of everything so far - I suspect he has not - as to make it even he would have had to put an island off each of our shores. Then again - you never know...
