Ok....utterly bizarre....but, for some reason, both the top and bottom rows are missing a letter on the map. Have NO idea how that happened. All I know is THAT MAP HATES ME.

Will be corrected for Turn Six.

Will the correction be adding in a column so it's still A-Z, or just relabelling them A-Y?

Not sure yet, have to have a close look at it, as my version lines up fine. It really should be A-Z.

Reports in an hour. Less for some.

All reports released. It's Tuesday night here. Turn Six deadline is Sunday night.

A nice, quite interesting turn for me to process.

hoo-boy...

Pantheon due Friday (I think?) and Borderlands due Sunday morning for me. Plus, any possible role playing inbetween.

And many of you are doing Empires, ZA, and now possibly starting up Mes again?

*amazing*

A reminder - Turn Six orders are due by Monday night. For those of you living behind the times on the Northern Hemisphere, that probably means Sunday.

I shall be uncontactable from now until then. Refer all questions to Mr Rules, he is very well informed.

pheh

You guys get to live in the future.

If by Monday night you mean 11:00 PM or so, adapted time for me on the Eastern coast is 8:00 AM Monday morning.
7:00 AM Central
6:00 AM Mountain
5:00 AM Pacific

Sunday would probably work out the best though.

Turn Reports have been released a day early. The map will have to wait until tomorrow night. Turn Seven Orders are due Friday the 8th of Febuary.

Also - no harm in saying this now - as everyone has a 'spy' unit in their lists, said elements are having their speed increased to 3 grids per turn. This does not allow for breaking of the unexplored movement rule, however.

A FREE HINT TO ALL PLAYERS:


Next turn will be Turn Seven. Turn Eight will be the end of month turn, in which all growth and consumption is calculated. Regarding Population Growth, you get 1 roll for every settlement you have which has a unit of PEOPLE present, and has not met its maximum garrison figure.

Therefore, to have a higher growth rate, transfer PEOPLE to every settlement, and make sure those settlements still have free garrison positions (remember, both elements and PEOPLE count as garrison). In this way, you will get a roll for every settlement.

The more PEOPLE at a settlement, the higher the growth will be.
