Wait, what? I put in trade agreements with Beijing and Korea in Update 4, and the rules on Trade specifically say "if they agree, each pays 2 economies, and you both get 1 economy every other turn."Kamilian1 said:
That means I don't get any on odd Updates since I set them up on an even Update, eg: not on Update 5 or Update 7. So I'd be getting 1 economy from both Beijing and Korea in Update 6, and combined with a Growing economy would've had 6 points to spend. 2 of them were to go into establishing Trade with Shanghai, and the rest into troops and ships. That means in Update 8 I should be getting 3 economy points, 1 each from Beijing, Korea, and Shanghai.
I guess I'm still unclear on education too. It's at 1/5. Do I have to put an econ point into it for each increase to 2/5, 3/5, and so on? I thought you just put one econ point in and waited 5 turns. If the latter is the case it should be 2/5, since it was in my orders and I didn't overspend my economy (see above).
Otherwise, good update.

OOC: kamilian, I'd really love to meet more nations, so far I've met only 3 
From Byzantium
To Rome:
We propose that we form a trade route between our nations!
To Dacia:
*secret*
You wouldn't mind giving us some of your connections to european nations? After all, we've been helping you quite a lot recently.. we could also give you connections to Rome for that, in case you don't have them
*secret*
***
Emperor Dominius II was looking down the harbour of Byzantine. Three military ships were closing in. Each time he saw ships coming, his mind yelled at him with terrible fury: "now it happens! the dalmatians finaly saw what rich nation we are and now they're coming to land in our capital city.."
For 30 years Dominius II had been the ruler of the nation and the soon 60-year-old emperor had only recently started to realize that his strange fears were not only stupid, they were forms of insanity. And, as always, these three ships had a golden dragon head on them, as all Byzantinian triremes had. Of course they were their own ships, emperor Dominius had personally ordered them for this trip!
They had been told to travel around the Mediterranian to find connections with other nationalities. Now, as captain of the head ship stood down and happily gave Dominius a letter from Rome, the emperor knew that his efforts had payed off. "How many nations did you find?" asked the emperor happily. "Only Rome", responded the captain, and Dominius's smile faided a bit. But still, he was happy to find a nation which could potentially trade with Byzantine.
"I thank you for your fine job, captain!" said the emperor, "But your work has not been finished yet! Your three fine dragon-headed triremes will continue their journey to the Black Sea.. maybe we will find more nations there!"
***
Orders to be PM'd soon.

From France
To Eire:
Hmmm We haven't really had opportunity to make much diplomatic agreements. Therefore there was never opportunity to break them, either.
It is not a very prudent thing to insult people you've just barely met, especially if you may soon share borders on aaccount of a colony.
We still wish to sign a NAP with you, though, and maybe you will learn to trust us.
From Norway
To Eire:
Yes, we agree.
From Rome
To Byzantium:
OK.
From Dacia
To Byzantium:
We give you contact with Austria, Silesia, and Slovakia, then, since they're all we know.
OOC: Symphony, even if you WERE supposed to get the trade bonuses this turn - which you weren't: the counter was at (2/2) on your trade routes on the previous update - your economy would go up to the next level yes, but it would still be "Wealthier 5/1/6", so even with the trade bonuses you would only have 5 economy points to spend.
And as for when the trade routes are supposed to "mature", I did nothing wrong - I started the trade routes as (0/2), I think, and that's why it's not the same as you think it should be concerning whether it's odd udpates or even updates that you get the bonuses.
As for economy, each economy point you spend on education raises it by 1. So if you had Average 1/5 last turn, for example, and you spent 1 point on it, it goes up to 2/5. It doesn't on its own grow.

Brisbane Orders
********Will write story later********
Make contact with the Eastern Aborignie Tribes and invite them into the Australian Commonwealth. Reform the Brisbane League into the Australian Commonwealth, with full citizenship to all people.
I think I have 4 spending points so I am going to spend it on the following:
3 sp on raising the economy to the next level
1 sp on establishing the city of Melbourne (Kamlian contact me if you want help with this)
As I am also making myself a commonwealth I am going to form my government as a early democracy. This means that the Senate controls the nation from Brisbane and every free male citizen over the age of 25 has the right to vote. Slavery of course is not outlawed yet.
I also want to begin a project: The Great Library of Sydney. To be built in the city of Sydney this will increase the education thrice and the population from added medical knowledge and the like by +3000.
Therefore: Great Libary of Sydhey (+ 3 education LEVELS, +3000 population)
I am also going to send ships to Tasmania and settle that, which should be free of aboriginal tribes at the present time and therefore easy to settle. Also send emissaries to the Central Aborignal tribes and the Westerners, as well as to Perth to discuss the possibility of them joining the democratic Australian commonwealth.

OOC: Oh bah. I guess I'll just remember to scroll all the way up and down the first page then. That's 3 econ. points total and a level now. 
New question: If you grow economy the same turn you get trade econ points, can you use those trade econ points or no? Rulers aren't specific there.

Well, I actually meant for them for going to add to the number of econ points invested into increasing economy (the second number in the bracket).
But this rule may change to make it available to spend... The thing is, I don't want to make it too easy for people to be like filthy rich even at the mediocre economy levels...

Story
Didier strode confidently through the elaborate hallway, holding closely to his body the orders sent by his master: The Tribal Council has proven to merely slow down important decisions that need to be made, the Council is hereby disbanded if you resist you will be slain. Didier thought it over in his head, he hadnt even realised that there was a Council! Didier snapped back to reality as a large door became visible, stopping in front of the door he nodded to the dozen armed guards behind him, once the door hit the ground Didier began the speech. Many of the Council nodded and did not resist, Didier sighed and threw the orders into the fire and walked out of the room, leaving his guards to kill them all.
Didier stood atop the pedestal and spoke to the people amassed in the town squar, Enemys of our nation recently slayed many of our council members, the survivors have decided that in order to reprimand those responsible we will need a single person to make the decisions, Giio has been nominated to lead the Malagasy nation into a glorious future and to avenge the death of the fallen. As the crowd murmured in anger at the shocking news of their people being killed, Didier walked away grinning, realizing the sheer genius of his master
