Here is the summary of the third turn chat of Term 2, held on Feb 10. The major events of this chat were:
- Huntington was founded on the coast, next to the Dyes SW of Deux Rivières
- Barbarians defeated a Spear in Vandelay and a Warrior in Montpellier. The net result was a loss of population in Vandelay (size 3 to 2) and a loss of 51 gold in Montpellier.
- We established embassies with India, Russia, and Babylon. Screenshots of their capitols are available in the Foreign Ministry.
- We recieved the Wheel technology from a goody hut. We have Horses 2 tiles NE of Deux Rivières
- We dispersed a barbarian camp southwest of Groton, netting 25 gold. We went looking for the barb camp that has been harassing Vandelay, but have not found it.
- A road that will hook up Dyes will be done in less than 4 turns.
- It appears this chat lasted 11 turns because I made a mistake in my recordkeeping and recorded Turn 6 twice, thus playing an extra turn. I left the turn numbers the same as I reported them in the chat. So there are 2 Turn 6s below.
