I guess they discovered a tech, as we don't see a power increase which would incline either a warrior first or a growth of population. Most likely an increase in score. Although I'm not sure which one it is. I think we are going to have to pull our scout back and explore the top side. It looks like it might just be us 2 on this landmass since the continent is forming a crescent shape. Moving him 1NE is fine with me, then pulling him back to scout out the northern part of our continent.
