Re: [eia] Economic phase


I agree that trade with GB (AKA "domestic trade") should be public.  After
all, Napoleon certainly knew when other countries traded with Britain, which
was the start of a couple of wars.  To save everyone time looking at the map
for themselves and to check on what others are getting, I have already
compiled a complete trade list for this economic turn and will send it with
all the rest of my economic stuff.  If you are eligible to trade with GB but
choose not to, please let me know and I will note this in my economic phase
email.

Feel free to check my numbers and let me know of any mistakes I've made.

P.S:  I will have to see the income of the Battle of Jerusalem before
sending out my economic phase, though, as its outcome affects Turkey's and
my victory points.
