They must have screwed up. I didn't get the turn attached to the e-mail it's supposed to be attached to and I cannot download it either.
I'm the Mamlukes. What nations are you and Bosse?
Apparently no one got the turn file and the G.M has been informed several times.
Originally posted by KnightWulfeEven better for naval matters. Arles can help defend Venice on land. Arles does start with a coastal province - do they have a port to start? If we target Sicily and France early on, we can cut Iberia and North Africa off from the rest of the world.
I am in - and very Ironically, I am Venice.

EDIT - Looks like Arles can take an independent port in the first turn to the west. I can help defend Crete too since it's pretty far from Venice.

Originally posted by AThousandYoungI'm planning to not make the same mistake as I did in our game and not expand, so I want to take a European province first turn..probably Flanders. If Arles and England take France early on then we can meet up with you guys in Europe..hopefully.

EDIT: My mistake; in our game there is no Harbor there but looking at the recruitment center lists it does say there is a Harbor present, though it can build only Medium Galleys and Merchantmen. The one in game mmw must have gotten destroyed in fighting; there's a 25% of that happening when the Harbor changes hands.
