Chatting with HAK. I had earlier sent the one-liner telling them about our plans to sign NAP with Gillette so that is what he is referring to in the beginning. Looks a lot like no circumnavigation pre-Optics. Caravels might be worth rushing to see if there are separate islands with some unique resources.
Quote:me: hi
HAK: Heya. Yes I got your message this morning .
me: ok good - just checking
HAK: Just curious, have your team talked at all about future war prospects? Basically who your first target might eventually be? Gillette or TEAM?
me: Not really. There is quite a bit of land to expand to
HAK: I know we all want war to be long time from now, but curios where your thoughts might be.
Ok.
me: Both are possible. btw. can you get through the archipelago E-W direction?
or is it too early to tell
HAK: What do you mean by archipelago? I'm not sure what area you are referring to.
Do you mean the island to the east of TEAM? Or something else?
me: Just in general is there ocean preventing movement or can you get through
HAK: ah, gotcha. Yeah, still too early to tell.
Our galley is only just about to reach the island to the east of TEAM. I've already confirmed that we can't traverse with galley's westward from our side of the continent.
so we know it can't cross. I'm just hoping it can get close enough to cut through the visibility across the ocean.
I have a feeling that the world-wrap is fully cut off by ocean, and no one is going to get Circumnavigate until after Galleon's are reached.
I mean Sailing.
me: Optics is enough enabling Caravels
HAK: yeah, that's what I meant originally. As I was typing it, I had forgotten about caravels, since my brain was on galleys.
