10 days into the competition - time for a spoiler! So did you move away from the volcano?

If so, where did you found, and if not, did the volcano cause any problems? How did contacts go? (Do you like the map?) Did you put your Chasqui Scouts to good use?

by the end, i had only 25% of the world territory. i had 6 e victories and no leader, FP was not built. but i got my until today earliest XOTM victory. :-)

answering steve´s question:
no i didn´t move away from the volcano and did not see much reason to do so. it erupted but only polluted its own tile. of course i used the chasqui well - to trigger my GA!

Very nice

I thought i have a good result,but i have many luck.
found a town in hut,become a leader.
You make it without this. :worship:

One thing was annoying:
I stand with 8 Horseman in front of a town from Atztec.
I win the first fight.
only 1 spearman with 2 hp in the town and I lost 4 Horseman,3 retire
I must wait 4 Rounds to attack again :mad:

1000 15 towns,48 pop,28 Horseman,1 Leader

1475 Rep+Golden Age

@ Memento - i remember the movie with that name, found it very good.

an extra town is sure nice. the army might not even helped a lot on this level, or did you feel so?

but anyway, sound like you played a very good game. are you going to write a spoiler as well? when did you finish? score?
