SEAFARER TRADE RANGE:  This turn all Seafarer nations get extra GP based on trade income because the income calculator did not use 4 as your trade range until this turn.

CITY IMPERIAL SIZE: Every controlled city also counts against your Imperial Size.  I will be using two formulae to determine this: It's either every 3 cities times your Size Divisor counts as 1 Imperial Size (if friendly, pacified or full allied, see below for the
variation) -or- every 10 city GPv times your Size Divisor counts as 1 Imperial Size, whatever is lower.  (Special Announcement)  Cities
counting against your imperial size will be enforced as of Turn 55 of Lords 11, Turn 15 of Lords 12 and Turn 90 of Lords 10.  You all will be given time to boost your Infrastructure or shore off unneeded regions to prevent Thin Government.

MERC POOLS:  All areas of the world have available for hire as mercenaries, 10hi, 10i, 10c, 10w.  Minimum bid is .5 GP per unit, 1 GP for the heavy units.  Mercenaries assume the QR of your nation.  I plan to change the Merc system soon.

DIPLOMACY: Sesquehanna(ne)

    MAP: Abitibi became cultivated.

THE ILLINI NATIONS
Shoma, Chief of Illinois
DIPLOMACY: Sangamon(hs, pacified), Saginaw(c)
    Shoma marched into Sangamon and demanded a wife.  The Sangamon plains dwellers were not about to comply and told him to buzz off.  That only angered the Illini chief whose forces pacified the region.  Then he took a wife from the prettiest maidens rounded up.  The Illini continued the fire sale of their southern provinces.  For 30 sacks of cowries, Kaskinapo was ceded to Etowah.  Kaskinapo couldn't take the rejection and rebelled from their new masters.  Shoma finally spoke on this issue:
    "Today, we have completed the dream which began with my father's father.  The sale of Tunica, to the Etowah Temple Sect, has enabled us to gather all the true Illini nation of the Ohio River.  Finally, we are united in the lands chosen for us by the great Raven God.  Basking in his power and glory, we will grow stronger.  We will rise up from the earth and stand tall and proud like the plant of life, maize.  And woe to the infidels who try to defile our holy land.  For we will strike them down with a fury never beheld on this earth.  For today, we are finally the Illini Empire."
    MAP: Titishoma grew to 6 GPv.

THE ETOWAH TEMPLE SECT
Gunbok, Sachem and High Priest of Etowah
DIPLOMACY: Lucayo(ne)
    The Etowah was beset by more problems.  There were riots in Calusa and Powhattan revolted outright.  Gunbok wouldn't respond to this for he knew this was a trick to get his army tied up while his nation get invaded by the sea peoples.  Sly Fox, his lieutenant, was wounded by a poison arrow; he had to sit out this turn.
    The Ciboney were the first to strike.  Cowards that they were, the Caribbeans stayed on their boats and shut down Etowah shipping.  They captured or destroyed merchant ships in Cusabo, Savanah, Apopka and Key Largo.  In July 1162, as the Ciboney pirated the coastline, the Maya unloaded troops on the marshy shores of Okawaha.  The 18,500 light cavalry, 40,000 heavy infantry and 6500 diggers were outmuscled by 20,000 mixed cavalry, 38,500 heavy spearmen, 3000 clubmen, 46,500 archers and 1000 engineers who performed an ordered advance against the bogged down mob formation of the Maya.  All the Maya warriors were slain, their bodies becoming alligator chow.  Only 6000 heavy spearmen were lost by the home team.  The Maya only succeeded in discouraging the Suwanee fleet from trading with the Mogollon.

    Sikolla chose to conduct economic warfare with his navy of 100 warships, 6 great ships and 10,000 marines.  They captured 53 transports along the Etowah coastline and sank as much.  Mercenaries were hired to protect the home city.  Maybe the Maya would lose their armies trying to get a beach-head but the seas belong to the Carib.

The Rocky Mountains

THE MAYA KINGDOM OF TIKAL
