Spring, 1: Can we all appreciate the irony that Sparta starts with a fleet, while Athens starts with a ground-unit? |

Spring, 1: For clarity about this site: you can only ever build in your original three territories, you can build only in that territory if it is unoccupied, you can build a fleet in any of those territories that’s coastal |

Autumn, 1: And I was mathboy27 because the first online username I made was for aops.com, and my birthday is on the 27th. |

Autumn, 1: And similarly, I just kind of stuck with it. |

Spring, 2: Also for clarification, the Libyan and Ausonian seas are connected |

Spring, 2: It’s a corner but you can go from one to the other |
