Ah, right, that's the one I always tried to use. I don't think I meant "e" 
by it, though, I think I meant "em," which is where my confusion comes 
from... not that any of this matters at the moment.

Simple. I don't. I plan to have other people keep track of things. I can 
track the locations of everything, but the status of objects on the Grid is 
something to spread around as it gets larger. That's why Forts are already 
seperate, so that they can be given to someone else if the Gridmin gets too 
large. I think a Ministry of Mines might prove to be a good idea, but I'm 
willing to give tracking that a shot, see how it goes.
