12 Mar 16 UTC Spring, 1999: good luck
16 Mar 16 UTC Spring, 2001: Hello! New Peru!
21 Mar 16 UTC Autumn, 2002: hello.... new quebec is playing
23 Mar 16 UTC Autumn, 2003: New New York here. Happy to work with neighbors!
28 Mar 16 UTC Autumn, 2005: New Texas! Time to ball through Mexico!
30 Mar 16 UTC Autumn, 2006: I know there's a Panama Canal, but are there any other canals on this map I should know about?
30 Mar 16 UTC Autumn, 2006: Great Lakes - Fleets cannot move directly from one Great Lake to another, except from Lake Michigan to Lake Huron.
Canals - There are a few one-space canals that act like Kiel in Vanilla dip. This means that the spaces have no coasts and fleets can exit on any side: Panama, Ontario, Michigan, Upper Peninsula, Chicago (see below). There is also a canal between New York City and New York State. Fleets can move from one to the other.
Waterways - There are two waterways in Empire4 where fleets can move as though there were a coastline in the listed territories. These rivers do not impede army movement:
Mississippi (Chicago, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Deep South, Louisiana)
St-Lawrence (Beauce, Montreal, NYS, Ontario, Quebec, Gaspe)
For example, a fleet could move from Tennessee to any of Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas or Deep South.
30 Mar 16 UTC Autumn, 2006: a fleet can move from NYC to NYS and then to Ontario?!
30 Mar 16 UTC Autumn, 2006: or am I misunderstanding "There is also a canal between New York City and New York State. Fleets can move from one to the other." ?
31 Mar 16 UTC Autumn, 2006: You are correct
31 Mar 16 UTC Autumn, 2006: Really?! huh... I wouldn't have expected that. I wish I knew that for some of my previous games :)
31 Mar 16 UTC Autumn, 2006: I think it reflects the reality that the Hudson connects t the Erie Canal, or at least it did, a long time ago.
31 Mar 16 UTC Autumn, 2006: I'll take your word for it
31 Mar 16 UTC Spring, 2007: I believe that it means F NYC can move to NYS, Mass, NJ, or Cape May
And F NYS can move to Beauce, Ontario, W. Penn, and either of Lake Erie or Lake Ontario.
31 Mar 16 UTC Spring, 2007: Hey, New York, why don't you build F NYC, stab Quebec, and let's find out!
31 Mar 16 UTC Spring, 2007: you know? that sounds like an excellent idea!
31 Mar 16 UTC Spring, 2007: I think I'll pass
01 Apr 16 UTC Autumn, 2007: I suspect my moves did not save.
04 Apr 16 UTC Autumn, 2008: Dang it. I didn't realize this was only 16h phases not 24h. Sorry everybody.
04 Apr 16 UTC Autumn, 2008: Fuck it, let's just draw after builds.
