Mostly Harmless finishes Combustion and already has oil hooked up. I also finish Combustion and auto connect oil (TN is founded on it). I let Dreylin know to request my oil if he wants it.

Dreylin mentions that Sooooo wants to swap him a Merchant for a Priest - I tell him that I am ok with that.

email to Dreylin and Sooooo

Quote:Dreylin / Sooooo,

I understand that you guys want to swap a Priest (Dreylin) for a Merchant (Sooooo). So that neither of you need to worry about boats and the dangers of the high seas, feel free to run your respective Great People through my land. I will offer them tea as they pass by. Sooooo - please, only the Great Person and via the quickest route - I've issued instructions to my military regarding the Merchant so can vouch for his safe passage. I cannot vouch for any other unit that may tag along with him.

Ruff

I'm starting to get ready for a new push into Sooooo land ... no cannons this time. Anyone got any suggestions? I am making some plans and would value any suggestions that people might have.

Cannon -> Artillary
Thanks to Rego via Dreylin for the upgrade formula ...

cost = 20 + 3 x hammer difference.

Thus my 8 cannons will only cost me 8 x (20 + 3 x [100 - 67]) or 952g. Sigh - that is 3 turns of 0% science. I think that is worth it, as artillery cannot not be flanked until Sooooo turns up with choppers (and he won't for a long time).

And here is a screenshot (JPG is not valid, uploaded as zip) from Sparta of the current Sooooo infestation.

Ok, image shack works too.

I'm on Artillery. Dreylin is on Flight. I think those units can help me unlock Sooooo.

Can Fighters reach Sparta from Shangri La and Death Valley? You might want to found another city on the sea and rush buy an airport there. If you can get 24 Fighters in range of Sparta, maybe you don't need Bombers.
