	Got spare money?

btw, I would not be shocked to wake up on turn 27 and be at war with CDG. Continued peace would not surprise me either, but they and GCA seem determined to keep us from something (contact with CFC?). They may have Clint try to put BigFree 6 feet under.

Diplomats be ready for the barrage that should preceed this.

Everyone else, I suggest we accept whatever happens with a minimum of wailing and knashing of teeth. It's a warrior. It would not be worth putting ourselves seriously off our plans for a 2 turn unit, even if it is BF's namesake. Should any bad things happen, think turn 50, really, really hard.

OTOH, backing off would not be worth it either. We are free to come and go as we please. Our diplomats should feel free to refuse (nicely) any demands re Wbf we have not already agreed to. If we cannot wander peacefully with Wariors now, we will do it with hostile Mercs later, but at a time of our choosing.

btw, I suggest switching to IW if we awake to mourn Wbf.

Sounds good.

Also, everyone refrain from chatting with CDG or GCA entirely for the next few days. Our only official contact will be through PM and email. We don't want them to try and catch us and prevent us from scouting. We need to have a complete and well-thought out response for whatever they might throw our way.

	Full PM-box? Change here!

The Ministry of the Interior suggested queue (in the topped thread) has been updated. It now includes the queue up to the completion of our first two (alas, Regular) Numidian Mercenaries.

Hey Dom

When we send the first Settler to 1-1-1 to settle, are we sending along some protection? If there's a Barb just outside the fog, he's doomed!

The same question applies to the second Settler that settles 2-3-3. Unless we bring back WAlva from his scouting duties.

I would suggest that we send the W'noname' with the 1st Settler and build another Warrior in Apolyton. Then build the 2nd Settler and again send him with that previously produced Warrior. Then we would have to build another Warrior for protection of Apolyton.

I don't think it would be much waste, considering what we may lose if there are Barbs (or Evil Civ's) out there waiting in the jungle. The Warriors would also join the pool of upgradable units. Once we get IW (from CDG), we can upgrade them.

W4 will be going with our Settler, W5 will be staying in Apolyton as a garrison. I'm not sure what we're going to do about our second Settler yet.

I'm not even thinking about protection for our Settlers. Trip is responsible for making sure the Settlers get appropritate escorts for wherever they go.

You and Trip need to work on this together. A plan for this should be clear to the members of the team. Just saying that it is someone else's job is not good for our team.

As vondrack reported, Wbigfree has a lot of attention focused on him.

Not much else to report. Wbigfree is free to move 4, as ordered.

Actions:

Wbigfree moved 1. After much discussion. Togas believes GCA are posturing with their warrior. The NAP with CDG says 'south'. Due West is not South. I believe that moving 1 is a gutsy move, but it demonstartes that we are a: willing to die to keep our word and b: not going to cower from posturing. After Trip agreed to moving 1, that is where I moved Wbigfree.

Walva moved 2. Spotted on more die to his sw, under the blanket.

That is all.

Looks like they weren't lying when they said they had lots of desert to the south of them.

Oh and what is the 4th warrior called btw?

	Tired of ads?

W4 has no name yet.

I find W4's discoveries rather interesting. We can't see the CDG scouting Warrior anywhere, so that means he either headed west into the jungle, or he headed home without scouting east. I'm going to calculate the turns out to see how far east he could be to see if he could possibly have slipped away into the mist without us being able to see him. This is a good sign though, especially if the peninsula is big and has any goody huts.

He also could have headed N along the extreme W coast. I think it's the most likely.

Might be a good idea to put a warrior on the mountain 11122 when we have one spare, so we can see anything approching us from the south.
I think we should call warrior 4 Ninot, he is now unemployed as a consol so we should put him to work as a warrior

Actually now that I work out the numbers, their Warrior could be a couple steps ahead of us.

Jim_steer: as soon as units are available, scouts watching the southern border is one of my priorities.

I don't see why they would go E N W E S? Wouldn't make any sense. It looks like they went E to the Dyes, then N to our borders, then W... probably skirting around our borders to continue N.
