Move the last colonist out I think.

I think I'm gonna try a Dutchie working for the French. Sounds like Ghandi though :)

Btw, your first settlement is a freebee. No charge. You can build it right next to a camp.

What snoopy369 said :) You can try by just seeing where you can build a colony, as long as your SC (as I saw someone say it: BFC, SC BigFatCross, SmallCross) is not over a part of theirs, all is cool.

Long time lurker here, finally decided to register, hi all :) I had to register as I didn't see my personal favorite here. Ok, it's a bit slower then the things mentioned here, but I manage to take over the world (pangea) once the troops start rolling out (ok, you have to keep fighting, it's...
