Bad news on the homefront: Ynnek officially departs. 1 less opponent, sure, but that makes Matrix and Killer grow bigger and bolder.
Worst case scenario: they choose to "re-appropriate" the northern peninsula. I'll have backups for luxes and extra economy by then, but hey, still hurts.

At stake are: 2 garbage towns (1 holding the only silvers known to man), 1 passable pasture town w/gold and 1 solid military port.
