One way to fund their research is to offer luxes so they can keep lux-slider down. I would prefer that so we can gather cash for the forthcoming warrior upgrade. They can research for us, we can cover luxes for them . That would save us both money and benefit us the most when it's -time.

That pre-supposes that we grab more luxes then they do. That dyes city certainly takes on greater significance.

@Bugs
I'm positive we will, 100% positive.

 

[Whomp]

Here's our satelite view....

 

[Tubby Rower]

Now that we are going to have a curraph in 2 turns which way should it go???

My vote is west. That way Ave Joe doesn't have to scout the northern coast as well and we can get him back for settler escort ASAP.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

West is as good as anything.

Admiral - are you ready to assume command of your navy?

 

[gmaharriet]

I would agree on west, especially since we can see a portion of east already but nothing west of the northern wines, and it always frustrates me to have a curragh paralleling the same territory as the scout. I leave it to the more knowledgable amongst us as to whether Avg Joe needs to escort or explore in a more S/W-ish direction than the curragh is likely to go.

It seems like barbs should have shown up by now, but then it also seems like we've been playing long enuf to be in the Industrial Age too.

 

[IroquoisPlisken]

Hmm, I vote east, I think. That appears to be the coast, so if we go that way and find one of the safe crossings to the other continent, getting contact would be that much sooner.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

I think we can send our warrior SE of Dunderhead one more turn east then, he'll have to start heading SW to rendevous with the settler.

Edit - wait that was based on a old picture.

Edit 2 - OK, I'm a dope. I can't find the save so I can take a snapshot of the east branch of the Simpleton River. So just ignor this whole rant.

 

[Daghdha]

Curragh go west Adm.Kutzov. The look of the southern coast line gives me the impression the crossing points are @ NW and SE corner of out cont.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

Off to the NE of Simpleton looks like a possiblity.

@ Dagh - I liked your old avatar better. This on is OK, but the other one rocked.

 

[Daghdha]

@Bugs
Which one? There's been heavy traffic lately. Besides, this rat will soon get shades then he'll be a Way Cool Dude .

 

[gmaharriet]

I preferred the old avatar too, Dagh...the yellowish one. It looked sorta like a male version of The Mona Lisa, and I kept staring at it in an effort to decide if it was smiling, contemplating, or what...very enigmatic.

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

@ bugsy - navy navy <bede inserts some double entendre here>

 

[Sir Bugsy]

dagh - The one Harriet is referring to. I thought it was very enigmatic as well.

Edit - this one looks like a reindeer. I mean the one that looks like a Rembrandt.

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

dagh - the one that looked like it was built for the first nintendo

 

[Whomp]

Do you guys realize the old Daghdha avatar was the real Daghdha? The dude had a eight pronged war club on a wheel. Who wouldn't want one of those?!?!
The new Daghdha has sunglasses. It fits the new cool hand Dagh.

 

[Whomp]

Seems there's some concern about Peapants.

 

[Tubby Rower]

The natural river boundry.... Is that as far as they'd like to expand???

I think that we should tell them that the river is also our natural boundry and that there wandering warrior should go back home. issed:

These guys are idiots.

Can we move that curraph any quicker!!!

 

[Daghdha]

These guys are idiots.

Hold it now my friend. We're the Idots here , they are just....dunno, is scared and defensive it maybe?

 

[Whomp]

Look at it this way. Peapants negotiated horses for our people. Give the guy a medal!!!

I think we need to reiterate to them that giving them a monopoly tech with CB it gives them the opportunity to A. trade it overseas and B. the potential for a SGL on myst research. That was awfully nice of us to give them that opportunity and one we could have easily taken advantage of ourselves. However since we would like to be cooperative and felt the fastest way to a republic was to have us research writing while they finished wheel. A considerable concession since they made us pay 1gpt to accomplish our alleged joint mission.
