I'm back. I went camping thinking that one of the coffee shops in the area would have wirelss internet access. nope. After missing my turn on Sunday I pretty much begged a bartender to let me plug into his credit card machine for 5 minutes with about 2 hours remaining on Monday.
question on deals
other then a NAP for xturns are there other common arrangements. ie can you have alliances (i don't think this is really possible because you cannot share anything, right?) i'm new and just want to know what can be done differently w/ players.
ps i am enjoying this game and hope everyone else is
About alliances I have to say that the world wide alliance against Ermor on turn 20 something is a little tiersome. It's quite difficult to handle. As one would expect.
