Gavagai manages his personal GULAG

[GermanJoey]

That is probably exactly the case.

Yeah, gotta be. Otherwise, you figure it'd be done something straightforward like: Calculate Incomes -> Tech -> Resolve Outputs

I'm going to apologize to Joey, as I'm warming to our lands: complaining about the tight food was uncalled for. I mean, sure, it's tight, but there is enough stuff to do here, and there are some super-cities, and the choice whether to try for the Hanging Gardens is really interesting, so really awesome, actually. Better share that feeling while it lasts

Glad you enjoy it.

For reasons unknown, Grimace is staying out of Slavery. Which has lead, inter alia, to this:



Remember that choice between Monotheism and Archery? Well we are getting Monotheism end of this turn.

[Gavagai]

I think that Grimace also wants Mono. This is, actually, the only reasonable explanation for the placement of his second city. But without some precious metal it's pretty silly to hope to get it.

So, the good news is that we don't need a wonder in Construction 859...

The right-trotskyite saboteurs and enemies of the state have led our Southern Defense Front into a disaster, by moving the men from their secure positions in the jungle out into the open. Traitor Gavagai, pawn of the Krill, Grimace and Serdoa intelligence services, who were your conspirators in this attack on the Soviet state?

Does the information ministry have releasable intelligence of the area or will it be necessary to infiltrate enemy intelligence to see what happened?

[Bacchus]

The last big overview screenshot, there is a south-eastern jungle gold, we had a fogbuster there. Gavagai logged in at 2am and decided to do some scouting, there turned out to be a barb warrior nearby and we lost a cointoss. Nothing overly dramatic, really

[Gavagai]

Dear comrades, my crime can not be justified. I have been thouroughly corrupted by agents of Grimace-Krill-Serdoa-Barteq clique. Being moved by viciousness, greed and self-interest, I gave our warrior a treacherous order to move into an unprotected position. I hoped that his death would destabilize the Party rule and allow foreign powers to install myself as the sole head of state. After that I intended to become their obedient puppet, working to undermine the Revolution from within.
Now I'm happy that my plan devious plot was uncovered by our valiant counter-intelligence operatives. I'm grateful to them for catching me. My crimes are numerous and grave and my character is beyond redemption. I don't see any other proper punishment for myself but execution for which I most heartly ask my comrades. Please, kill me. That's the only thing I ask for.

Grave, you say?

Someone clean up this mess!

Well, that's an unexpected development. Seriously, had no idea that barbs can settle that early. Also. am I correct that they should have warriors there?
