Urgent questions & tasks:
FAM: Negotiations with CFC for the wheel?
FAM: Trying to speak to GCA about the CDG's iron.
MoL: Need name for worker 4.
MoL: Need name for city 4 (Incensity?).
decorators: We have a Palace improvement coming to us. What d'ya say, can we upgrade the cave?

Unit movement & actions:
N1 'MerZenary' to move 4 (W) may as well check out the coast and make sure nothing is out there
N2 'Mao' to move 6 (W), heading back to the city grid
W2 'BigFree' fortified to move 4 (W)
W3 'Alva' to fortify
W4 'Theseus' to move 2 (S)
W5 'BFW' to move 3 (SE). From that mountain he can still see the choke point and gives us a bit more knowledge of CDG lands.
W6 'Hagbart' fortified in Apolyton
W7 'WhiteBandit' to skip this turn, waiting for Theseus to 'catch up'??
W8 'not_panag' fortified in Apolyton


Economy:
Apolyton building settler.
Mingapulco building NumMerc; change to Barracks ??
Banatopia building granary.
Incensity building warrior. Can be switched to barracks.

WF:
Apolyton 1, 2, 33. nc
Mingapulco 6. nc
Bananatopia 9. nc
Incensity 2. nc

Workers
Worker1 'Dan' begins mine (3)
Worker2 'Monkee' begins road (2)
Worker3 'panag' begins road (2)
Worker4 "???" begins road (5)

Diplomacy:
CDG: NAP in effect (soon to expire).
CFC: Negotiating...
GCA: NAP in effect (fm Turn 29).

Comment, please, many "plans" (especially those marked with '??') are just suggestions or ideas, not decisions already made.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

I thought we were considering changing Bananatopia to a barracks as well? I've never been a big fan of granaried-worker pumps, and do we really need two cities building settlers? We don't exactly have a huge amount of land we can instantly utilize.

It's a long way to either a barracks or the granery. Plenty of time for Dominae to rejoin us and for it to be discussed.

I certainly do not want to change it before he returns in the next few days and give him further cause for a coronary.

Not sure how to take the above...I'll just laugh and move on.

Just time for a short note until I really return on Saturday. Things look great, good job team! Where are the Turn 48 and 49 threads, by the way?

Concerning the Granary: it seems to me like we still have a lot of Jungle to get rid of. Even without a lot of testing, it's intuitive to me that Granaries mean faster/easier Workers, and those a great for Jungle-duty (they're pretty much the only thing for Jungle-duty, unless we want to waste a bunch of Settlers). Unless war is imminent (really imminent), I say continue with the Granary. We may lose some Shields in the switch-over if ever we need to do one, but that will be a small price to pay. And, with a Granary, Bananatopia can quickly grow to be our best city, so it's not a complete waste if we do go to war later.

	Got spare money?

Status:
52 gold. 18 turns to MM.

CDG Morris the Warrior showed up 3 from Alva. Most likely going after barb camp that MilAdvisor confirms is near Banatopia.
CDG Norman the Warrior has moved beyond the choke point. Arnold the Warrior remains fort'd on the choke point.
GCA warrior and settler 3 from BigFree.

Military is average compared to everyone.

Excellent.

Turn 48 and 49 are hidden by a forum glitch where threads between one page and the next are hidden. It is related to topped threads somehow, or so I've heard. Try editing the perpage number in the address. Set it to 40 or 50 and those two threads show up.

Wonder what will become of THAT lil' situation.....

I assume we're going to politely ask him to move on?

PS- That remark was intended solely for humor, Dom.

Are we sure that the peninsula north-east of the chokepoint near CFC actually ends there ..?

When we place our next city (and I still think that we should have sent the settler there first) at the Iron site, we will see what they will do.

I suggest that we have an NM escort with that next settler.
