And in the harsh Mediterranean winter of 09 - harsh being a relative term implying that not all the olives grew that were expected...
Two powers fail to submit orders for the Winter turn. Rather than replace these players this late in the game, Greece will fail to build and the Ionian Sea will be automatically disbanded on the Carthaginian side. This is possibly a contentious ruling, I know, so please let me know if you are displeased with this. I will listen to any arguments made to me and promise to consider them.
Meanwhile, Xerxes adds two more armies to his hordes - in Sidon and Damascus.
As I am told there is not much negotiation going on, we'll have a somewhat quicker turn deadline this season. Please have Spring 10 orders in to me by Wednesday, October 24th (11:59 PM GMT).
Also, once again, my thanks to Cory for sticking the game out and playing it through honourably.
Cheers everyone!
