The sea expeditions spend most of the week discussing trade plans (which you can keep doing via messages) and at the end of the week start heading back with the news and to get more goods.
On your visit to the Caliph (Sons faction leader), you see and experience this specifically:
You are to be met at the port and brought overland by automobile to Baku by the Caliph's honor guard. The populace along the route appeared very hostile and angry towards you, and had to be restrained by police and military forces. However, all of the Caliph's retainers and guards treated yourespectfully, even affably, showing that the Caliph does not share his people's antipathy to all things Russian.
As you enter the Throne Room , you see the Caliph, a very fat man, sitting upon his throne as thirty of his Honor Guard stand by the walls with their scimitars held in salute to you. The Caliph greets you as your gifts are given, and gifts of gold, copper, and delicacies are offered to you in return. They were then conducted to a side room where the actual negotiations took place with high government officials. As you leave the throne room, you see that the Caliph was assisted in standing by two strong men.
Some specifics from your trade meetings with the Turkmen:
The trade group that met with you was made up of 2 women and a man trader, as well as several men that appeared to be soldiers. Gifts were given: A board game for children (chess), and a term bag (like delivery boys use for pizza to keep it hot) that is decorated with Turkmen traditional colours/theme. Based on your discussions, you start setting up an embassy (basically) before sending back your ship with orders for more goods.
River measurements go well, as do dredge ship experiments, so you are able to start dredging and clearing the river (blue line on the river route). Production on the scows is going well (remind me next week, you'll probably finish at least one at the end of next turn).
Agriculture all is going well.
Training is going well.
The Southern Recon Unit (and the other units) continue their exploration, but find no new Minervan towns. They are able to find 2 different raider camps (red dots).
RE your expedition to Samara, I'll need you to include a translated map. That thread is all in Russian with many technical terms and is too hard for me to understand. So for now, I'll say that your expedition is well under way. Next week include a nice translated map here and I'll update it to show you your progress.
Your scientists are hard at work. They have a theory that could improve fuel efficiency by 5%!
Your scouts on your eastern border report that a caravan is approaching. It appears to be a trade caravan.
