Argh, first 16 hour turn and you make peace
Turn timer back to 14 hours.

[mzprox]

India and Arabia made peace

[Robert]

If you can send me your pass (again) and instructions, then I can do it for you.

[Inca (DoE)]

Need a temp sub for a few days. More technical difficulties :/

[Robert]

Asia is that big and you're only with 4 civs.... There must be room!

[Mongolia (DoE)]

I do not have room for cities that are any good, Russia has built 5 squares from my capital on 1 side, Chinese about 7 squares on the other, with the Russians choosing the best food specials and where my 2nd city was supposed to go except sub misplaced it. For those who talk about Indians, I have never met them, no idea where they are, no route possible to south anyway due to impassable mountain ranges.

[OzzyKP]

Gift the settler. And Mongolia you should have plenty of space for cities up there. I just played the 1000 AD scenario as Mongolia and I had plenty of great cities up there. I think on the DoE map I added some additional resources over the 1000 AD map too (though I don't really remember). So it can't be that bad.

[Russia (DoE)]

Come on - there is space for Mongolia to plant at least 4 more cities - and thats only what I see. It is not that bad. Yes, they will be not all great cities. Neither mine are all great city spots, but I love them and they repay me well

And not much hope for the keshiks - I will have pikes soon if I so desire.

So, Mongolia, now when you dont want any help from me, please say if I gift you this settler, will you be willing to escort it to India and then gift it to them?

Still I am OK with Mongolia and India merging.

[OzzyKP]

I think some Keshiks are a better option.

Hey, India grabbed something from the Arabs. Maybe they can work together against China..

[The Priest]

Well, you are correct about donations and this must be one-time thing (for me especially). My idea was to help a bit so Mongolia/India to step on its foots and then they are on their own. Also, instead of me building one more city now with this settler (which I have plans for), I wanted my competitor Mongolia to build one more city and to narrow the gap between us.

Now, when you say how backward India is, the complains from Mongolia that they dont have land and considering we still need a player who to actually play India, no matter how well she gets after the eventual help and your loving care, the merge is more and more appealing to me.

But either we need a vote, or articulate decision from the host.

I think Russia is right. If it is true that Mongolia only has land for 2/3 cities, no amount of gifting them units is going to put them back in the action - particularly when their neighbours Russia and China have so many more. I'd still say merge - allow Mongolia to play India and arrange a merge as they wish.

[France (DoE)]

Arabia being subbed doesn't change anything, I think.
And this war is already storied by Arabia. Even without a lead-story it could erupt b/c it's just an attack on an Indian by Arabia occupied city.

Yes. Agreed. It was just bad timing on my part. I now have a dialogue going with mz.

[France (DoE)]

Hi mz. Yes - found them there. Sorry, as I explained in my response, I was out of town until this morning - actually this aft, so had not read them. I have responded.

[mzprox]

You don't have to.. I have sent my letters to France (doe) (too)

[France (DoE)]

No. In this case I don't. I don't think I even have the password for the Arabia (DoE) account, which I have never accessed. I have only been logging in to the pitboss to play the Arabian turns. And the only story post I did for Arabia I posted with my France (DoE).

So sorry. This caught me totally by surprise. I figured there must have been some history behind the fact that Arabia had Bombay. And I understand the situation from your perspective.

So, let me check if I have access to the Arabia (DoE) account - ie if the same password opens both it and the pitboss.
