All things considered, a rather quiet set of turns.
Save tonight, log tomorrow.

? Do you have turns to make up? Otherwise, I think you are a little further down the original list:Kev said:I think this means I'm up next, no?
Well depending on how you look at it, you still have 2 or 3 rounds to make up since you were out so long. That list was the original proposed order and I think the confusion comes from the fact that last round Steg couldn't play and this was the point where you were finally able to jump back in. If you want, we could probably reset the order with you going after Stegyre from now on (if there is a next time around). There's certainly no sense slogging through another set of my turns before you get your second go-round.Kev said:Ack - that's my bad. No, nothing to make up on my end. Just lazy and didn't look back.
Have at it.

Andu Indorin said:In terms of a long-term, strategic project, we might consider a "Portuguese" strategy toward approaching the Zulu civilization, i.e., as soon as our own railnet is complete, devoting a few engineers to establishing a series of "outpost" cities to get us closer to that civilization. The first step would establishing a city in the swamp square northwest of Pi-Ramses (80,56) and another south of Elephantine (84,82); and completing a railway through the Egyptian civilization. From there establishing a series of "outposts" on island 19 (due south of 84,82); and along the west coast of large island 16 (where the isolated city of Ningpo is located) -- the edge of which is located just across the straight from the most recent Barbarian landing; and then a final outpost on the semi-peninsula nnw of the Zulu city of Issus (91,121). I'm guessing that this may be our most effective way of solving the problem of distance to the heartland of the Zulu civ.
Stegyre said:So our engineers in Egypt are through, now? I was also wondering what they were doing, but didn't want to disturb someone's plan. I'll ship them home.
Kev said:Hope you leave some live targets for me.
