	Princess of Apolyton: What course do we set? Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

We now can see an island just to the SouthWest of CFC.

We have two choices in getting there:

1. Take the neccessary turns in order to take a peek at sea/ocean tiles along the way; which slow us from getting to the island.

2. Take the shortest/quickest route there regardless of trying to uncover sea/ocean tiles; which may prevent us from finding any other Islands on the way there.



CFC will not likely be able to produce any Galleys while at war with GCA. CFC will be hanging on for dear life unless CDG comes to their rescue soon, which I think CDG is doing, hence 36+ hour turns.

I can't vote on this yet. Both sides have merit.

We might just wait for the Galley in Hispanica to be built, but then we have the same question of what to do with her....

This needs some discussion.

You don't know how far it is from the Princess' current location, via GCA, to that corner. It's probably better to send the second Galley there. THEN you have the question whether to take the shortest route or not.

I agree, but we can still discuss whether the new Galley will go straight there or not. I think we SHOULD go straight there, and once that Galley or the one headed towards GCA has explored all it can, we can go back and fill in the blanks. Land sighted is more precious than the possiblity of land sighted IMO. We should get there ASAP with a Reg Sword and get us some goodies (if there are any).

I voted for the direct course, but I intend this vote to mean that we go the direct route NOT with the Galley we have straight away, but with the Galley being built in Hispanica.

For those of you who think Fanatikou might have a diplomatic tie to the Germans, here's your ammo: That "chunk of land" might be the edge of the other continent, and the Germans might be on the other side of it.

I think we should explore that island pronto, dropping everything. We might find all kinds of interesting contacts there.

I voted zig-zag, but I meant it to be the Princess' course to the south.

Maybe we should open a new poll on this subject.

Head there as soon as possible, but first, to satisfy the people who had wanted to see about the possibility of a eastern route to the Lost Civs, check to see if we can see anything to out immeadiate east (of the boat). Then once that is done, head there ASAP. We don't want GCA to have boarders expand too much before we have to try to slip by

I told you we should have gone the other way!

We will know more about it all on the next turn. We will have GCA's map (hopefully) and then we can exactly determine which ship can make it there the quickest.

I take it from the comments here that the ship that CAN make it there quicker should and the other ship will take the explorer's route. My question was intended to get the teams feelings of whether or not eith ship should take a direct route or both do the zig-zag.

I calculated the times involved.

The Princess is minimum 17 turns to the channel between CFC and the new lands. Add to that any turns required to map and round the unknown areas of GCA.

The 'Hispanica' is 9 turns from complete, then 12 turns to the channel.

I am positive that GCA will extend far enough to delay the Princess by more than 4 turns, thus making the Hispanica the closer of the two ships.

We will know much more once GCA replies with their maps. I suggest we revisit this issue once we have those maps.
