I know you'll be helping Sauromatia, but if you've got any spare troops and can send em north to the coast, me and C'tis may need your help in disloging Atlantis.

Does he need help? Best expansion of our team.

I'll send a party north next turn.

I have taken another look on the map and it seems that I have to go through 137 to avoid elephants.
So TC please don't conquer it I'll leave Pd at 0 for you to take it.

Well, the pretender I uploaded is not the pretender I thought I had. It is probably my first draft for this game, though, which is promising. I can't tell because it's apparently dormant. Much to my pleased surprise, though, the bless is working for my initial expansion, which is proceeding without a hitch so far, despite my small armies of holy ancient ones.

My research is hard to begin with since I don't have an awake pretender, but I'll be getting legion of steel next turn, which should help me immensely. I now have two expansion groups going, and in a couple turns I'll have three, which should be enough for the initial expansion part of the game. Then I'll focus on research and site searching for a little bit until I can push into the water.

I have finally taken a second region. With weakened independents it took so long.

On a happier note I have found Caelum, and will now be scouting his lands.

My Internet will be down for a few days, with Atlantis where they are, it would be best, I think, if one of our alternates, or maybe former players, can take over for a few turns for me. PM me your email, as soon as you can. Thanks.

Edit: Grudgebringer is replacing me for about a week, I've already given him a quick sitrep, anything else can be gleaned from our forum. I should be able to admin though, at least till Friday.
