Not even I can put a negative spin on your two rivals getting ready to hurt one another.
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?

Mist attacking Commodore is good...unless you do nothing and watch Commodore's land become Mist's. What's the plan for minimizing Mist's gains? Surely, "Pink Dot" needs better management no? lol

Just a quick report - you already got the big news.

We did a map trade with Mistabod which gives us fairly decent view on the whole map. I'll do a full stitch later on. Spoiler: Our land does indeed still suck. Other than that, it was just an exercise in our favorite game. No, not just the tip. wink WE DON'T BUILD [STRIKE]WEALTH[/STRIKE] WEALTH AND RESEARCH ALL THE TIME, BUT WHEN WE DO... lol

Beyond that, we added a few entries to the event log after the glorious first one:

As advertised, Harkuf and his useless camel bulbed Banking and all those wealth and research builds let us finish Economics in 1t and bring the presence of Sir Thomas Roe and his equally useless camel to Sanctuary.

[Image: t109d.jpg]

We landed Marble from Mistabod for our Wine. We're trading both copies now - the other for Dye with Yuri in the interest of goodwill after we shredded his HA stack. No big, land isn't good enough to push happy cap anywhere pre-Biology or a food corp. Anyway, the onset of marble will cause Noble and I to spend the next few turns arguing Constitution vs. Aesthetics/Lit. I'd like Const first since we're going Mercantalism at the next revolt and Rep would pair nicely. Noble would like Lit so we can get NE down faster. Lewwyn, Pindicator, JesterFool - opinions?

Dave lost another city btw - we see the ruins here. Of course, given their gamelong NAP, Commodore is trading Dave his spare iron:

So the gains are National Epic / Heroic Epic vs. Representation. And the Aesthetics/Lit route is 25% the cost of Constitution. I gotta say it depends on if you actually plan on utilizing NE or HE. If you do then go the Lit route first. But if those are a "nice to have" rather than a main part of your upcoming strategy, then get the Rep bonus sooner.
