EDIT:"Heppened"? Apparently the Heppens are a nation of mercenaries who live in the Mountains and have been hired by the British to exterminate the Americans.
I have several questions. Apparently I was on a whole different plane than the rest of Apolytonia as I thought the Galleys were going to take a settler to the island we just barely see to find out what was there.
Based on posts in the Forum I had understood that a settler and spearman would load onto one of the Galleys (Galley 1) and the other galley (Galley 2) would move out toward the misty island.
Then Galley 1 would move one space unload the settler and spearman onto Galley 2 (assuming it didn't sink) and return to the safety of our coastal shores. Galley 2 would advance with it's new cargo to the misty shore's coastal and we would be guaranteed not to lose a settler.
Questions:
1)The settler has been moved to Apolytonia and it apparently took its whole movement to move 1/3 of a road to get there as it no longer has movement left thus costing us a turn to implement.
2)The SMC's current orders call for the galleys to do something completely different.
EDIT:SMC has since acknowledged they turned control of the galleys over to the IE.
So when did we deviate from the Island thing?

I wasn't sure exactly how to go about this plan, nor did I see any direct orders to go through with it. I could have not done anything and asked, but there was only Shiber around at the time.
I vaguely recall a Will 5001 post saying to move the Settler into 'Poly and that's it. Once we've got the exact moves for these ships down and in the orders, it will be done. At the moment, both Uber and GenghisFarb have plans, and the Minister has not posted one to date (still early days).
EDIT: DAMNATION! I just found in the 5-turn thread a late addition to the orders for the last turns - Will 5001's plans for the Island Expedition.
* MrWhereItsAt sighs
That'll teach me for believing all the orders were done and dusted. I didn't think of looking at that thread, since (although an excellent idea) no Minister seems to use it much.
This is all the case of ppl missing things (me) due to absence, and because the idea is so prevalent in everyone else's minds, nothing more is said of it. Now that I have played the first turns and have seen for myself what is going on, such a thing should not easily happen again. I relied a little more heavily on the Ministers' plans than usual, and some of them were a little scattered across the forum, so I might have missed some of them, with 5 or 6 IE screens and Civ3 open at once.
PLEASE could all Ministers next time make sure ALL their plans are in the relevant upcoming turns threads (and also the topped 5-turn plan thread), so I can see them all at once. It would make life easier.

The plan is good, we have a chance (50%?). Of course, a third galley would be good, as a backup. In fact, the plan almost demands that third galley. However, in our actual stage of production, I don't think is possible to any city change queues and build another…
So what? It's risky, and we can loose a galley, we know. Nevertheless, we have to try.
Btw, Ghengis, your graphics are very easy to understand.

this is the order I said last time, I might as well sday it again:
To Transport Settler, and spearman, or even another settler, that would be good(?), use the following plan involving 2 Galley's, it is called "Shiber's Manoeuvre" and is as follows:
"Naming the tiles and galleys for easier reference:
* Tile A: either the tile S or SE of Apolyton (doesn't matter). It is safe for a galley to end its turn in here.
* Tile B: the tile SE SE of Apolyton (contains a whale resource).
* Tile C: the tile SE of tile B.
* Tile D: the tile SE of tile C.
* Tile E: one of the coastal tiles which we can barely see. It is safe for a galley to end its turn in here.
* Galley 1: empty at the beginning of the manoeuvre.
* Galley 2: contains a settler and possibly another unit (another settler or a spearman) at the beginning of the manoeuvre.
Phase one:
Both galleys are in tile A. Galley 1 travels to tile C and ends its turn. This is the risky phase, since there's a 50% chance that the galley would sink (but at least it's empty). It's also the only risk involved in this plan.
If the galley sinks, build a new galley and start again. If it doesn't, move on to phase two:
Phase two:
Galley 2 travels to tile B. The settler and the other unit (if any) onboard galley 2 moves to galley 1.
Phase three: galley 2 travels back to tile A or another coastal or city tile, thus ending the turn safely. Galley 1, now carrying cargo, moves to tile E, thus also ending its turn in safety."

, without even having to say anything, anyway, my next orders will be very clear and I will put them in the 5 turn plan thread, its already there, so i'll just put it in there again later.
