True.I think Erik missed it because Indus have held a low profile so far. Wonder if they're... up to somthing.

Antarctican Orders
7/8 eco. banked... 8 income
Continue project.
Spend 15-16 eco. on military, 5 on galleys, 5 on mages, 3 on infantry, 1 on archers and 1 on cavalry. Explore in a northwardly direction. If we encounter a civilization around the pit of Africa we will attack and slay all that oppose us in that regional area. Keep silent on this matter to all other nation. Our motivation was decided upon during a soul fusion.

Huh? We didn't get any previous messages about this. And we don't have a main continent... Do you mean someone else?
OOC: By the way, your PM box is full.

We would be interested in immediately commencing trade with both of you. Is that agreeable?
@Lord_Iggy: All of the other nations with Above Average or greater education have iron age technology, and I'm trading with Elgovia, who has Iron Age. Why don't I have it?

OK, what, in the name of the infamous demonic duck, are you referring to here? I think you missed the post I edited to contain a message for both you and Erik further up there. The one where I declined Karthage's offer in the Iron tech bidding. I hope it's the reply you're looking for, or I'm afraid you'll have to repeat yourself.
Seesh, you could simply write down the inquiry again, you know. Since you really seem to want a reply. Just my two coppers.

To Avalon (and hence through to Antartica)
We do not like being called midgets, but never the less we would like to pursue trade with you
To Avalon (and hence to Songhai)
We will give you iron free of charge, as simple and straight forward as that

Uh, I gave up on regulating trade. I'm something of a weak moderator that way. But it has its costs. Karthage has lost almost all of its trading crutch. If it weren't for the navy, it would have been economy LEVELS that he had been losing. So dependence on trade has downsides.

Oh great. So trade is now "free form"? Or just a sinkhole? How come Elgovia benefits from it and not Songhai? I hope this is some kind of mistake, or I terminate the trade agreement. No freebies are going to leech away on our country.
Sorry about the typo

Iggy, there are a bunch of posts that I'm waiting for replies to. I'll repost the ones I care about here, but I think you should go back and answer some people's questions.
Also, the trade route I established with Songhai is showing up in my stats but not in theirs.

One hour later, Meremmor turned up at the country house, this time knocking politely on the door and waiting for the mercenary mages to answer.
The door flew open with a thunderclap. A flash of lightning backlighted ten men in ceremonial regalia.
Meremmor smiled and nodded, allowing himself to be suitably impressed. "You are ready, I take it?"
"We are!" answered the Songhai mercenaries gladly.
"Good. The ship I hired you to enchant is ready. Let us go."
Even in Elgovia, where the flamboyant was commonplace and every citizien emphasized his own individuality, the procession raised some eyebrows. Grandmaster Meremmor in the robes of his standing, followed by ten dark-skinned men in orange robes wearing dark green plumage. (Silver: No idea what your mages look like, so I'm basing it on what African tribal shamans looked like IRL.)
They entered the harbor without any ceremony. Meremmor bypassed the shipwrights and headed straight for the new ship, floating gently on the harbor swells. It stood seventy feet tall and two hundred feet long. The mast lay flat on the deck with the sails and ropes neatly folded up.
"Where do you wish to place your enchantments?" Meremmor asked. "And will you need privacy?"
Toure, leader of the mages, looked at Meremmor levelly. "Find us a shipwright. We have little knowledge of such warships."
"Of course." Meremmor grabbed at the first errand-runner to pass by. "You, boy, fetch the Second Shipwright, and hurry." The boy gulped, changed course, and ran off.
"In the meantime," Meremmor muttered, drawing a phial of Trafe out of his pocket, "I suppose I have something to do." He climbed up the scaffolding to the figurehead and smashed the phial across it. "I christen this ship Bringer of Wrath! May it turn the war in our favor once again!"
Below him, the Songhai mages were jabbering excitedly with the Second Shipwright. Meremmor went down again.
"Meremmor, your man has been most helpful. We will enchant the rudder, the keel, and the main mast."
"Very well. I'll leave you to your business, as I'm sure you know it best. Will you be finished by tomorrow?"
"I believe so. You will return us as soon as we are done. Word has reached us that the land of our fathers requires us to return."
Meremmor bowed courteously and took his leave as the mages went to work, rapidly intoning the incantations that would cause the ship to fly.
"Word of warding, speech of weather,
rain to bring and wind to blow,
earth below us, stay below us.
From desert lands to northern ice,
let our magic bind with strength,
ever shall it seek the air."
Meremmor smiled grimly as he left for the Infinity Stairwell to find mages he could train. He would choose every member of the crew himself and mold them into the perfect team. It would take a year or two to get them together, but when he was done...

To Vol-kiss
From the Mongols and China
We have noticed tiny Vol'kiss attempting to take Kojarian colonies for themselves. This military prescense in our seas is unwelcome, and if Vol'kiss does not leave the Kojarian colonies, the Mongols, China, and Vietnam will make you leave by force. Those Kojarian colonies became ours the moment our war with Kojaro began, and we do not like upstarts trying to take what will be ours. So leave, before you awaken a giant you cannot hope to stop.
