I made a mistake at the start of this game with University colony pod.  I was targeting a nice spot near the Morgan boarder.  Problem is, after Morgan built a city, this good spot was outlined within Morgan territory, and I could not build (without breaking the pact with Morgan).  There was no option to say, my good buddy Morgan won't mind me building here.

So the poor lonely University colony pod has about an 8 turn trek to the next good build site.  Since early growth is exponential, I think this mistake (or really border surprise) will significantly slow University development.  My other factions will probably have to send aid to help.

I have never played a multi-faction game with my factions so close together, so this border shift and the implications was a big surprise to me!

What had been posted before here is a false alarm.  It goes to show what happens when you play on drugs.

The reason I could not see the University colony pod is it was Morgan's turn!

Sorry for the mistake.  I am continuing the turn.

This is useful to know, I'll likely test out where borders end up and set it up to avoid too many border conflicts for good base placements for the next version of the map.
