Howdy Y'all,

Conflict widens as the pressures for "Lebensraum" and city sites
drive the cultures towards each other.

Summary of turn 6

Conflict Color Commentary:

Palermo (which can support 2 tokens) has 1 Italian and 2 African
        tokens.  The Italians lose as the Africans get mad when the
        take-out pizza they had ordered took 2 hours to cook.  Result:
        Italy loses 1 token, leaving the Africans in sole possesion of
        Palermo.
    Syracuse (which can support 1 token) has 1 Italian and 1 African
        token.  Neither side prevails in the dispute, and both tokens
        expire complaining of upset stomachs from too much pizza and
        spaghetti.  Result:  Syracuse is unpopulated.
    Milazzo (which can support 2 tokens) has 1 Italian and 2 African
        tokens.  The hungry Africans get in an argument with the
        Italians over the relative virtues of pepperoni versus sausage.
        They dispose of the Italians and eat both the pepperoni and
        sausage pizzas.  Result:  2 African tokens remain in Milazzo.
    Ithaca (which can support 1 token) has 6 Italian tokens and 2 Cretan
        tokens.  The Cretans attempt to steal the Italian axes, but are
        caught in the act!  The Italians blunder about as the Cretans
        madly dash for the hills.  One Italian token (bent on vengeance)
        gets lost in the strange hills, but the Cretans pass away at the
        hands of various wild boars that they try and catch with their
        bare hands.  Result:  5 Italian tokens wonder what they're going
        to do now.
    Memphis (which can support 4 tokens) has 6 Egyptian and 2 African
        tokens.  The Africans protest that they "only want to see the
        Sphinx", not realizing that it hasn't been built yet.  One
        Egyptian gratiously volunteers to act as their guide and leads
        them away into the desert.  Unfortunately, he doesn't return
        either.  Result:  5 Egyptian tokens remain to begin building a
        pyramid for their dear departed ones.
    Upper Egypt (which can support 4 tokens) has 4 Egyptian and 2
        African tokens.  Another group comes in "looking for the
        Sphinx".  When they realize that they're hundreds of miles off
        course, they go to have a fun time with the local ladies.  The
        local gents object, and 1 Egyptian and 1 African token are
        thrown in jail where they are forgotten by all.  Result:  3
        Egyptian and 1 African token settle down to live in peace (for
        the next 500 years).
    Mikop (which can support 2 tokens) has 2 Thracian and 3 Babylonian
        tokens.  Neither group is sure of what they're doing so far from
        home.  "Babylonians up here?" question the Thracians.
        "Barbarians!" exclaim the Babylonians as they send them packing.
        Result:  2 Babylonian tokens lay claim to the entire area, with
        only Thracian graves to protest the action.
