the chinese military draws near, and warriors head back to town...

who wants to trade?
whose premium offer might be other than masonry?
then who will be first to offer masonry anyway?

so, only the praetarians still to meet....

The 2nd Scout Div. is closing in on the last empire. While passing by, strange creatures we call horses are frolicking on the plains. Perhaps with our new invention, the wheel, we will be able to tame them.

gps. As one scout discovers the home of the Praetarians, the other one wanders into lands unknown -- and straight into a giant jungle.

 

[Hawklord]

Don't worry, some of our young men are off on a hiking holiday. They only carry axes so they can build shelters at night. We are not looking for trouble.

Trading again with the munificent Arabs.
Would have with China but it seemed to vanish....
I assume they already knew our offering...

Good luck with the trees.
Our healthy young chaps have been out in the fresh air a bit - newly bronzed.

1st scout relapsed into their customary torpor.
2nd scout emulating Julie Andrews.

Off to the other west coast...

 

[Hawklord]

Our wise men had just discovered how to mix the metals to make a harder metal that they called Bronze in the same year that your emisarry approached us, but he refused to carry a reply back to you. I would punish him severely if I was you.

The Second Scout Division has finally met up with the British at their borders. Contact is known throughout the world... 3350BC.

I have seemingly, at present, nothing further to offer the noble Chinese and Arabs.
But, Praetarians, let us talk! Bring me the wisdom of the mysterious East.

Let's have a continent founded upon enlightenment and sharing..
- and no beating about the bush.

2nd scout find something other than a lonely goatherd at the top of their next hill.
1st scout find it overly plain sailing.

 

[RegentMan]

The Praetarians offer their skills for those of Britain. Hopefully this is the start of a grand friendship. 3250BC passed on.

 

[admanb]

gps. This will be my last turn until tomorrow evening.

Just wanted to remind everyone I'm unavailable in one week.
Mar 28 - April 5 inclusive. (see early post)

Do you want to wait or appoint a substitute for this time?
What's the normal thing?

 

[Hawklord]

I'd say wait for you to get back. People usually don't mind if they know what's going on.
Real Life has a way of getting in the way of fun, but it is after all more important than civ

 

[RegentMan]

3150BC sent on.

We'll wait a week. Thanks for letting us know in advance; always appreciated.

 

[admanb]

gps. A week break for RL is no problem for me.

Trading with China seems jinxed. Are the Gods angry?
We will continue to strive for global commerce.
Goodwill shall prevail.
