Wandering around in a brand new world, several fur-dressed families found themselves suitable places to settle.

Saints, sitting with God around a big round table is just watching the bird of a new nation.

Turn to Stavros/DonCarne of the mexicans.

If I have understood the const.txt in the right way:

Rivers only start in cellblocks of 5 x 5 and it has something to do with "a highest point" calculated when the map is drawn.

So there should be much more rivers than normal - but not in every 4 square (25%).

I do have some rivers, let's get comments from others and see.

Do know. I have a 'puter that eat letters - or suddenly it only want to write versal letters. It's very annoying for all. Makes me do much more misspelling that I normal would do.

Problem: My dear wife has her accounts(? don't know the right word, but the place all income and the opposite in written (tax and so on)) on that pc. I'm not allowed to upgrade sw or change anything on that (that's life!). And a reason like games is not exactly what gives the right.

Sorry. I'm the one you all can ....... for misspelling e-mail addresses.

I also expected more rivers than I saw. I did not look very carefully yet but I also did not have the impression that the map is as large as you wanted but.... I may be all wrong! (in fact I hope so otherwise you will never stop hating me )

I wish you all a lot of fun.

I have to agree, the land is harsher than I had ever imagined. Swamps and ice everywhere. No rivers in sight so far. Map seems big though.

Seems like Eru - the mighties of all - smiles to (not at) his choosen.

2 long rivers - unfortunately lot of swamps too.

A new russian settlemet has been established and I - Ivan - think it's better for my people to get something to belive in.

I seek advice deep inside myself and I know I'll find the right belief.

Among other things I have found out: FIRST IS BEST!

Well, I do understand you. Water is very fine to consume - ajusted with malt, humle and rawfruit that is.

You send Creator's turn to me..... and you know I see. But better late than never.

Have you send it to the right (Franses, when Creator didn't take his turn).

Egyptian newsflash:
The Egyptians feel comfortable with this Giant World. They settled near a river which in itself is a reason for great joy. They all agree that although it is not the Nile, it must be possible to convert the river banks into habitable places. This way the Egyptians felt at home quickly and have been celebrating for many month's. It is time now to start building settlements and to search for other tribes that can contribute to the might of the Egyptian empire as slave suppliers (rumors have it that Franses is against this old Egyptian habit. Of course the Egyptian people are unwilling to believe these rumors.)

Although the land is very harsh and filled with swamps and desert, the inca people don't lament, 'cause they know, that lamenting will lead them to nowhere. So they try to make the best out of this situation, for they know, what don't kill us will make us harder.
And under the leadership of Aaginor, a god who wakls among them, they will become the major power of this world.
Recently they sacrificed a dozen innocent virgins, to show their devotion to the almighty gods. This will asure the support of the gods for the next challanges they have to face.

Turn 2 -> Russians

=========

The people in China looked at each others faces in confusion when they failed to find the "great bountiful Lands" their divine emperor Taipan had promised them when they left. A lot of rumors have spread that the Taipan has fled in shame and that he was not the true Emperor with the Divine right to rule.

There is great sadness in this nation as there has been no word from the Great Emperor, and the poor people of Chine roam about aimlessly in swamps and snow, wondering how it could have come to pass that the Divine Taipan had been so wrong about something.

=======

OFFTOPIC

Great Lord Aaginor - Taipan, the Divine Emperor of the Chinese people expresses his disapproval at the sacrifice of a dozen virgins. That is an aweful waste, I must recommend that if the people wish to show their devotion to the Gods they should simply have girls only sacrifice their "virginity" to the Gods. I'm sure you'll agree that that would please them more.

Wandering normads, whos origin none can remember has joined to great russian nations.

They thanks me - IVAN, chief of the russian tribes - that I had allowed them to settle in a land, that has more milk and honey than we ever will be able to consume.

My children (I'm using virgins the right way, a shame it can only be done once) are leaning to swin in the long and clean rivers. The sun is shining most of the time, and rain comes like a mild douche.

One thing though makes me thinking. We are now close to the limit, that we can handle with the present infrastructure. A new govenment has to be formed and that soon.

Turn to the mexicans (have head they should exists somewhere).

Egyptian newsflash:
Rumors have it that this world wastes its virgins.

Franses is shocked by this news and worries about the growth of his harem. The Egyptian government sent out numerous caravans in all directions to find these virgin wasters. The traders are summoned to warn these barbarian tribes that they should be carefull with their virgins. Simply put: no virgins, no harem for Franses, no PEACE in this world.

PS: this does not necessarily mean that there will be peace if their are sufficient virgins for Franses harem but changes will definitely look a lot better.

We had very clear rules for the Giant Bird game. My suggestion is to start applying these rules to ensure that it will really become a fast game. Isn't that what attracted us all in this game?

No, it is not your turn Aaginor. I didn't receive it yet (my post was early this time. I seem to have a timing problem ).

The last thing I can see on this forum is that Stravos sent it to Creator. That is now more than 24 hours ago. According to the rules Stravos is supposed to open the game of Creator, click "end" and sent it on to the next one.
