got orders from everyone but nivi. he quit

.
Sheep, you tried boarding units onto transprots and unloading them in same turn. no can do.
Plesux, you tried building a Army base in a province you didnt have a town in (so i built the town). you also wanted to build an army there, no can do (even if you could build the base, you'd have to wait till next turn to use it)
A couple of you paid 6 credits for a town. Its 5 for the first one.
the cost is 5 + the number of province that you have that have ONLY a town in them. cities, capitols, bases, forts no longer count as towns either for this calculation, nor for income.
i just banked the 1 extra credit for those of you that alloted 6 gold to your towns.
the units in the sea are sort of hard to see. i'll try to figure out a way to make them more visible (green and yellow have sea units) and repost the map then.
Battles:
The USA (jason) and The African Brotherhood (plexus) both sent an army each to T5 and U6.
in normal combat a 1 on 1 battle ALWAYS ends in both dying (both rolling 1 sided dice needing a 1 to hit). But i'm adding (should have been in original rules) the rule that battles over neutral lands force retreats instead of killing units.
Money:
Emperium - 24
USA - 16
Israely Domain - 27
African Brotherhood - 18
Geckland - 23
Viking Empier - 22
Banana in Pyjama's Land - 20
