It shouldn't take very long and I think we'll see a quick turnaround...I'll do my best to follow this advice as well.

thanks,

The diplomatic situation is often not solidified before at least twenty hours have passed, giving everyone ample time to review the turn and access the forums-- hence I wait about a day before doing the next turn.
As example, for me, part of this turn will be dependent on Lihaässä's answer:
Do I gear up for spider slaying? Do I forge pitchers for rooibos tea on the beaches?
Completing my turn before finding that out would be problematic.

I check the game status often and plan my schedule accordingly (trying not to delay long if everyone has a quick clip); as it stands now, doing my turn immediately would only cut approximately two hours off the turnover.


That said! I will attempt to complete my turn a few hours earlier, if not immediately.
Hopefully this is acceptable. *huggles Grijalva*

Ha,

Fair enough, I hadn't considered that you may have been waiting on diplo, certainly enough reason to wait.

Dear Num,

we still haven't heard from you. Do you accept our NAP 3?

Also, to neighbours of Bandar Log:
In case you have ulterior motives and have missed the obvious (most stick-wielding monkeys are currently scouring our plantations for sweet, sweet bananas) - now is a good chance to snatch some of those tasty-looking provinces. Cheers!

I assume when you say 1.5:1 astral to earth, you meant it the other around? Or are you actually offering 1.5 astral gems per earth gems?

On the other hand, the jotuns declare it's intention to trade our N/D for Earth gems at 1:1, or our S for Earth gems at 3:4.

Dear Num,

You get your answer. My proposal about northern lands was sincere, I am really sorry it has no value for you. As you were my last neighbour met and with no pact binding us, you were brave and optimistic to reject it.

Oh! Yes! You are quite correct. The Void does troubling things to numbers. We did infact mean a ratio of 1:1.5 Astral-To-Earth.

However! With your help has come a stinging backhand it seems-- undercutting us on Astral prices?! *stifled chortle*

Your 1.333 carries with it the hidden fee of your trading partner's blood.
Beware the Giants' need of Earth gems! *mumbles something about 'firebrands everywhere'*

A great tragedy has taken place this past month!

Whilst waiting for the enemy's great army to attack Far Amar (88), the mighty monkey armies and our human allies (including some barbarian "advisers") decided to pillage this once-rich province of 21,000+ farmers.

The large monkey-armies soon lost control, went bananas in fact, and slaughtered 11,000+ people while managing to collect some 500+ gold. 500 gold? That's the real tragedy, hardly makes the great "Massacre of Far Amar worth while. I'm never ordering my armies to pillage again.

The battle, at least, went very well.

We had managed to secure this year's produce, believing it would be for the best, but, alas, failed to consider the option of food-deprived monkeys going berserk. Such a horrendous tragedy.
Oh well, with all the food we have at least we can feast for months to come. Oh joy!

Is llamaserver down or smth? It says it's already processed and dispatched turn no. 18, but I didn't get it even after two resend requests. Should I just keep trying?

first stale! man! I thought I had sent that turn in

Whats strange is that I didn't receive the new turn either....oh well, resend it is.
