And here we go!  Turn 1 sent.  
Hopefully this game will go a bit better than my other (and 1st) MP game.  In that one, I managed to turn a position of relative power into a position of "Oh crap, I think I'm knee deep in monkey poo" through pure mismanagement.  Then again, I may have been knee deep in monkey poo to start with and not even realized it.  I blame my prophet who, apparently, was too busy dallying with the camp followers to march into war like I told him to.  
Bandarlover, nothing personal, but I really hope you are far away from me.  I've had my fill of monkeys for a little while.
 
I'll be on for a few hours if another turn comes up.  I'm Canadian, living in Ottawa but originally from Montreal. Eastern Standard Time.
