In 3 turns, the second group of warriors from the Explorers Guild will be ready to leave Madrid. Where should they go? From my various explorations around Madrid, I've heard tales of more wet, jungle-like regions towards the North ('El Ecuador') and more dry, desert-like countries towards the South ('El Tropico'). Our first priority should be to find a suitable place to build our 2nd or 3rd city. Therefore, I'd send our second group of warriors to the North where the lands should be more fertile.

I second this. I beg His Lordship to put this into consideration. It may be worth our while to explore the north first, as it appears to be more fertile and productive than the harsh, dry south.

Talk about fertile north and dry south is very general, in the direct vicinity the south (or south-west, west) might be more fertile, as indicated by the river beyond the mountains which were just explored.

The west is, of course, the spot into which we must expand. The south, though, the general south, looks to be very dry indeed.

Well, I agree then. To have the best chance at success, we will have to explore the north. But our first warrior (the TEG) should continue to explore the west.

I am concerned that once we disturb the village to the south east of our city that barbarians may emerge.

Does anyone else share my concern?

We may want to hold back our 2nd warrior in Madrid until we know for sure what lies in that village.

I've just tested this with the editor : I made a city with all its radius filled with goody huts.
- when the settler built the city, 0 hut out of 8 produced barbarians.
- when the city radius expanded, 3 huts out of 12 produced barbarians
So... a barbarian assault is possible!

Ahem! High Priest, is there a prayer or something you could say over Plaguerat? Some spirit is making him barf all over the place, which doesn’t put me in the mood for the Waterfall Festival. Madrid’s too small to avoid him for long...

A prayer would be good, but this potion will be better. He will throw up everything in his stomach all at once, and then will have nothing more to vomit.

I, Senor Iwana Eta Tamali have sent some of my strong & wise sons to scout out this new valley that we have found. They will have a Report for our Great Leader and his people when they have returned.

[OOC]

I've made some pictures from the posted screen shot with a close up of the valley. I've also have some possible placements (based on that same screenshot) for out next 4 City Sites.

Unfortunatly, I can't post them for a bit, until my FTP space gets straighten out. My ISP is changing hands and I'm lucky that I'm online at the moment. I have NO E-mail & nothing that I have in my FTP space is showing up at the moment. And the new company's tech support isn't open after 9PM

As my Family are Wonderers by trait, I offer our services to our leader in this, out glorious Exploritory & Expanionary effort.

Good morning soldiers.
Where are we? I got this huge hangover...


I think you should pick up your axes so we can head northwards,
to see where the running water has it's origin. I suspect there could be settlements in that direction.

I strongly vote for exploring the valley soutwards were we intend to build our second city. We must discover if these lands are safe or not

I must say that we must be able to defend our second city well, but I do want to see it built shortly.

Muy importante.

OOC:
If the expedition Pedro Peligroso is leading now bumps into another unit, what do I do? I think diplomacy can start then,
and as a travelling representative of Spain, Pedro would love to make the initial contact, as meeting roleplay with that team. Afterwards, the respective ambassador takes over main contact and deals with them...

Should the wandering Explorers Guild run into any representatives from other tribes, please greet them immediately with a short but friendly notice, send message back to us, and we shall send our ambassador to formally arrange for contact and trade with their nation.

TEG - courier arrives in Madrid:
----------------------------------------

Olá!
Señor dictatore, and all countrymen...

We have not yet run into any foreigners, just lots of monkeys...
If we do run into more advanced species like our own kind,
we will of course spend some time with them, if they are non-hostile. And perhaps join them in some of their social activities.
- As long as we do not inhale anything, we would be safe.

As classified 'top secret' our mission will of course not be discussed with anyone we meet. I can reassure you this.
We have seen the big snakes, and we are marching on
tomorrow by dawn. Wish us luck!

We are now using 3 warrior groups to explore.

I am sending the Explorer's Guild to the West to find out more about Cow Valley.

I have sent the new Magyar group south west along the coastline to tell us more about this newly discovered part of the world.

I have sent the sons of Madrid north east along the coastline. They will soon turn north and travel past the Great Spanish Mountains.

I have asked Dejon to post a short shot of these proposed exploration paths, but I would appreciate the counsel of the guild on the best exploration plan.

I would like to point out that the river alongside Gold Mountain goes into the mountains further SW. There may be another nice river vally at the end of the mountain ridge.

This is just a guess, but my clairvoyance suggests that the Magyars are gonna hit the ocean in the direction they are going and will be able to loop westward too.

But, alas, as clairvoyant halfwits go, I predict many things and half are wrong.
