Turn 66 in the books would have got two turns in but Regoarrarr hadnt played yet. Should get 2 in tonight though

Customs is working 3fp and pigs to grow in 2 will switch 1 fp to ivory next turn.

Stock will grow in 1 and wb will be finished.

Ranger Andy killed the Barb Warrior and is at 1.4 health
Ranger Bob continued NE (may have these two mixed up)
Wolfman Jack still healing.
Horse Whisperer 1 tile se of hill overlooking city 4 site to fog bust.
Settler moving on. Kodi has a warrior near by need to make sure I dont stop next to him undefended.
Workers are chopping.

Probably going to send 1 of the workers up to horse city to pasture horses and chop.

I sent the following message to MH/Kodi.

Thier warrior went north and will be close to my settler. I want them to formally agree to not harm him. I will trust thier response but would hate to lose him to an opportunistic move.

Greetings

I have a settler heading the same direction as your warrior. Can I trust you to leave him unmolested or do I have to slow him down and move an escort with him. His route is fog busted.

I would like a formal agreement to leave him unmolested. I am probably going to be away for a couple turns and will be having T-Hawk play my turns and I need to give him instructions. Step Daughter is starting labor.

Thank you and I trust our good relations continue for ages to come.

Played turn 69

Monarchy in 7 Oracle in 8 but I should be able to do some mm magic to sync those up.

Turn 76 I will be out of the basement score wise.

On another note my settler caused me additional maintainance Now at -2 but have enough cash. Going to have to delay settling a couple turns to make sure I dont run out of cash that would suck.

Capital is unhealthy. Knew I shouldnt have cut all those trees.

Also my Grandaughter and her mother are both fine and she is a cute one

MH/Kodi responded. Good news they could have really screwed me by turning around and burning the settler

Hi Paul,

We heard rumours of atrocities with regard to civilian units. We want to ensure you that we have no interest in harming your settler, but will offer our help to protect him should the opportunity arise.

We wish all the best to you and your step daughter and hope everything runs smoothly

I managed to get Oracle and Monarchy in 7. So T76 is the turn I get out of the basement for score.

Oracle in 5
Monarchy in 5

Met Imhotep this round and have posted in the bar. Shady beat me to it though.

Stock is building a warrior in 2.

Barb Warrior E of capital moved away from my warrior on a foreste hill. I have moved to open ground to entice it back my way. Will move in woods next turn to fight.

Customs grows in 2 and will finally work the copper mine.

Sent the following message to Imhotep the last Civ I had to meet.

Took a jab at the Borg

Greeting from the Broker Empire.

Alas I dont have a message as eloquent as the Borg.

I am interested in peaceful existance with my neighbors and seek information of the world around me.

If you need directions or assistance meeting others I will aid in anyway I can.

Chat with Regoarrarr. He is backing out of our trade which I dont understand. ZPV flat out said he isnt interested in feudalism. Very odd

12:21 PM me: Kodi is at the southern edge of Lin's border
superdoubledan: excellent
12:22 PM i have a warrior healing in one of the lin's cities (westernmost one i think)
if you could tell him i will be heading towards him and to hang out, that would be excellent
me: I did I think he may ask for OB and move north
12:23 PM superdoubledan: cool
me: So you want to talk about feudalism?
12:24 PM superdoubledan: i just don't want to commit tos omething i'm not sure about
i don't think it would be fair to you
12:25 PM to expect my workers (and plan for them being there) before i know if/when i can provide them
me: Assuming I land it in 4 turns I would like to get it worked out. Wont change anything I am doing now
I am already locked in.
12:27 PM Delaying the decision isnt really helpful at this time. It just delays any trade another 4 turns
superdoubledan: another thing to consider is sunrise's email
and if we're going to each be building 15 units
12:28 PM me: Without the workers I will be unable to build the units
I will have to build workers
12:29 PM I sacraficed alot to get Oracle this quick if I dont get the payoff I will have to go max growth to just be able to keep up with teching


9 minutes

12:39 PM me: sunrise is planing on escorting the workers with a couple of units for me
And roading the way for trade routes


6 minutes

12:45 PM superdoubledan: is sunrise trading you units for feudalism?
12:46 PM me: An escort for the workers yep
Similar hammer count
12:47 PM You would just have to boat them over and gift to sunrise he will get them to me
12:49 PM I am not understanding the sudden backtracking you had said you felt it was a fair deal. What has changed?
superdoubledan: i don't know
maybe i'm being silly
12:50 PM me: Do you have an alternative or you just wanting to pass on the tech?
superdoubledan: no i don't have an alternative
12:52 PM me: I dont feel I am being unreasonable. How long do you need to decide? I kind of need to know what I have comming in if I am to make other commitments such as Sunrises email


11 minutes

1:03 PM me: Added benifit is the road through sunrise to lins will connect trade route and then stone trade would be an option. Without a route the point is moot.
1:04 PM superdoubledan: are we sure that the workers will still be fast workers once i give them to you?
me: I think so. Dont they stay that way when captured
superdoubledan: dunno
1:05 PM me: Even if they arent fast can still use the workers.
1:06 PM But I doubt sunrise would have set up the trade if they didnt stay fast


8 minutes

1:14 PM superdoubledan: yeah
1:15 PM me: So what is the stumbling block here? I truly dont mean to be pushy but I had thought we had an agreement in principal assuming I landed the oracle
