Diplomats,
So far, this battle is a case of haves and greater-haves. Egypt's position is superficially the most perilous as they appear to be clashing with both Carthaginians and Persians alike, while being the only power limited to two builds. On the other hand Greece and Rome appear the early leaders as they eye smooth sailing with no apparent enemies thus far.
There are no retreats. Please get me your builds by our usual deadline, 22:00 GST Thursday!
