	Suffering from ads?

I want to finish scouting the southern half of the eastern peninsula this turn. We'll turn north and follow near the coast to see the general shape of what we're looking at. For all we know, there could be another "blob" of good land above the jungle (like the one we're on).

W2 'BigFree' will probably be stuck where he is. I don't see either CDG or GCA yielding to our requests to move our Warrior through their territory. Hopefully the FA Ministry can work something out with that.

1 northern Barb down, 2 more to go. Hagbart will slay another the next turn if he's uninjured, and hopefully we can finish them off in the north before they cause any trouble.

Just an idea... unless a barb/enemy unit shows within 2 tiles from Mingapulco on this turn, it should be perfectly safe to send BigFurryWarrior to explore westwards, as the Warrior being built in Mingapulco would be finished (and able to fortify) before the barb/enemy unit could attack the city.

And another idea... unless the barbs N of Apolyton move in such a way that we get a chance to attack one of them w/o having to fear being attacked by the other one afterwards, I suggest moving Hagbart back to Apolyton. The reason is that if he can spend the next turn on MP duties in Apolyton, we will be able to put all our gold income into research and get WC 1 turn earlier (we currently need 19 beakers... we will get 9 beakers this turn and would be able to get 10 on the next one - sorry, Trip, I know you asked about this before ordering Hagbart to move North... but I realized this only when doing the summary table today).

	Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

regarding WBigFree: There is no way to move past CGA without going through there territory. So he is trapped. We will need an agreement with either CGA or CDG to allow him to move through their territory.

CDG has built another short-sighted city: Zariguya 9,9,9 from OGAT2K. It gives them dyes ... otherwise jungle, hills, and coast.

Either they are very poor players or they have jungle tiles surrounding their Capitol, even inside the city radius!

And they further block us from reaching anyone to our South... These guys are so paranoid.

Their land appears to be worse than ours even. At least we have a small "belt" of grassland which we can use for a few cities, but they seem to have whatever is in their capital radius and that's it...

It may have been the lesser of many evils. Though the placement of their first city is rather bad, even if they don't have much land. It only has access to ~2 of the capital tiles anyways, and from the looks of the map, they don't appear to be good tiles either.

IIRC, CDG moved once before settling their Capitol. This would seem to indicate that the land they were given is/was less than adequate; though I do remember that we were discussing whether to move to another location as well.
