RBPitboss #2 Athlete4life10 & Kalin

Star Wars themed of course.

Or are you going more specific than that? I played a game using Star Wars naming conventions once, Mos Eisley was always unhealthy

Star Wars themed of course.

Correct. Glad to see somebody out there has some decent taste .

No response from the Incan's yet so I moved Ellorrs SE and through tile bleeding can see water. No idea if it's coast or not, but judging by their position on the map they're probably a coastal cap and there's no way around their border unless I go around this "water". My guess is it's a fresh water lake.

Dice didn't get attacked so moved her SW and the lion is now SE of her. So we lose the fortification bonus and the hill bonus but the lion still has a -25% so we still have decent odds.

Figrin D'an is moved SE again and is now 1 move away from defogging tiles, YaY!

Also it appears when we adopted slavery, we lost a turn of espionage against the incan's as they are now +4 on us.

Email from the Incan's:

Hey Athelete/Kodii,

We're happy to see your exploring warrior Ellorrs- we greet him in the same peace you extended to us, as well as with many llamas and more importantly, fine alcoholic substances!

The remains of the zulu civilization is almost directly south of your present position. More precisely, 3W, 11S of your warrior's present position. We have seen some barbarian animals in that general direction (Lions if our sages recall correctly), we recommend you tread carefully.

Iamjohn clearly forgot Kodii is on his team and Kalin on mine

Judging by where the zulu is Ellorrs should head SE next turn and probably SE again. I'd like to keep him heading generally E as the land looks to open up more rather than staying in a line of coast. Will know more next turn though.

Well grown to size 4, started worker. Figrin and Ellorrs both moved SE. Dice was hit by not only the lion but by a wolf from the fog as well. Now stands at 0.2/2 health and 3/2 xp. Apparantly you can't use promotions the first turn earned so will promote to woody next turn. Healed this turn. I'll post screenshots tonight.

E-mail from the Triumvirate:

So Yeah... a helpful lurker noted I replaced poor Kalin with Kodii, Please accept my humble apologies... Apparently I'm predicting close relationship between the two of us.

My potential reply (not sent yet):

No problem . I noted that as well. Thanks for the directions to the ruined Zulu capital. Could you perhaps let us know what the lay of the land around here looks like? Specifically I would like to know if the land will appear to stretch to the East or if I should send Ellorrs South. On a side note we did send an e-mail to the triumvirate a week ago to which we received no response. Did you not receive it or was it an oversight?

I would like to confront them on that e-mail as we gave them a lot of information but have gotten nothing in return without further prodding. However I don't want to be too confrontational, just inquiring, so would like your opinion Kalin.

I think that's good. I wouldn't press them too much, but a bit is ok. I would suggest proposing them to try to partition the land between us, and hint jokingly that maybe that can be a bit generous given that they'll get a good portion of what was Mortius's land. I won't enter anything formal until we uncover the land in between. I would have moved on some of the hills close to their capital tbh to have a look at it if possible, as they did try that exact thing on us. How would it be if their capital is empty? In any case, may force them to lose some turn on growth just as they did to us...

Kalin,

I'm assuming you sent that draft up as I logged into the e-mail and it's been sent. I almost had a heart attack until I saw your note here. I can't recall but I'm pretty sure we couldn't see into the cap due to a forest being in the way so I didn't want to waste a turn of scouting.

Finally an e-mail with some information I wanted

Hey Athelete-

Really the only way your warrior can go is south or west, just a couple tiles east is water at least as far as the old zulu land. There does seem to be some sort of land east across the water opposite our capital, have you seen any of that in your area?

As far as messages to us, excepting your last message we have a message from you from 2 days ago, and one 7 days ago (starts with "We are excited about our new espionage agreement. The land to the west is green until the.."), was that the one you are talking about?

Unfortunately it did take us a while to respond to it- Kodii sent a message two days ago to address the issue of EP point spending, but it didn't respond to the other issues you brought up.

-As far as I know our team is definitely interested in a NAP, do you a proposal in regards to length/cool off period?

-As for contacts with other civilizations we haven't met any other team, but before we conquered Mortius he did tell us he had met LiPing of the Romans.

We look forward to further communication,

Iamjohn

Based on that information I plan on sending Ellorrs South and/or west. I'd like to try and keep him surrounded by land so hopefully we can come across another civ's scouting unit. This is assuming other civ's will also try to keep towards the middle rather than on the coast.

Initial thoughts on a response are to share the information that we have also seen some land across the water and to propose a non-settling agreement between us until we can scout the land better and try and make some point about them having a larger area to expand into.
