Lizzy's rise to greatness

[Calanthian]

I plan to write the following message:



Bellerophon adresses the first Incan citizens he meets:

"Let me say it is a pleasure for me to be here near the sacred Gondar mountain and meet your proud civilization. Such a sacred place must surely be a good sign. It is a particular pleasure that we should have this meeting with your elders because we heard many stories about the Incan spirit of scientific curiosity, your beautiful works of art and your economical ability.

We like to develop our civilization side-by-side with yours and start a fruitful relationship which brings mutual progress. Furthermore we like to safeguard regional security and stability, and promote trust and coordination between the Incan and Apolytan nations. "


His scribe tries his best to translate Bellerophon's word into the diffcult Incan tongue:

"Lassen Sie mich sagen, es ist mir ein Vergnügen, hier zu sein in die nähe der heiligen Berg Gondar und Ihre stolzen Zivilisation kennen zu lernen. Zo ein heiligen Platz kann nur Gutes bedeuten..

Es ist mir eine besondere Freude, dass wir diese Konferenz haben, da wir viele Geschichten gehört haben über den wissenschaftlicher and neugieriger Geist der Inkas, ihre schönen Kunstwerke und ihre wirtschaftliche Fähigkeit. Wir möchten unsere Zivilisation Seite an Seite entwicklen mit Ihren und wir hoffen dass wir eine fruchtbare Beziehung starten, die gegenseitigen Fortschritte bringt.

Darüber hinaus möchten wir die regionale Sicherheit and Stabilität vergrößern und Vertrauen und Koordinierung zwischen unseren beiden Nationen voranbringen. "

I added one line:

For clarity: we will retreat to were we came from.

(and then we will move SW next turn )

Unfortunately the way our warrior faces tell them where we came from .

I did a quick check on techs/GNP (looking for bonus if any from contact) and from that and from knowing their inital techs we can make assumptions what technologies they might have.
so, unfortunately they don't havepottery so we won't get bonus to our current research. They are after a big tech, I think they wouldnt go to writing before pottery so it must be bronze working.

I think they have: mysticism, agriculture, animal husbandry, mining and either hunting or wheel, and now researching bronze working.

Btw the city we found is their capital.

Apollo is still healing and spot a barbarian warrior. probably we should wait and try to get one more xp for promotion. Or we should send him back to protect our cities.

Nope, it is fortified now.. Doesn't show a thing..

And let Apollo wait and heal.. if the barb warrior attacks Apollo can move 2 through woods..

Ah that difficult Inca tongue. It's good to have a fluent Incan speaker in our midst.

Do you mean if and after the attack, Apollo, if survives, would get promotion option to Woodsman2

[Calanthian]

Yes

Hey, I'm the minister of foreign affairs

I got the e-mail, so it's working at least for me.
Weren't we supposed to contact eachother by that spanish tool?

[Ben Kenobi]

Where's your beret and your suntan?

[Calanthian]

Hey, I'm the minister of foreign affairs

And gladly I'll leave the responsibilities to you.
In this case it was important to send a message to them at the moment we made contact.

And we had a clear vote on what strategy; the peaceful / cooperation approach..
(PRO PEACE: Mz, DNK, Hercules, Calanthian, Ben Kenobi, Dinner; CON: Robert Plomp)


PS. As we enter another phase in the game our ministers should be available more often

[Calanthian]

Weren't we supposed to contact eachother by that spanish tool?

Which Spanish tool??

[mzprox]

In retrospect We should had moved towards them then away so we would had made contact but they couldn't had seen our warrior at all. Too late, I did not think of it sooner .

The presence of that barbarian warrior is troubles me a bit. As you know I delayed the completition one of our warriors in Aurora so we could finish the barrack first and finish the warrior with 3 xps. i1m not sure if it wouldn't be beter if we finished the warrior now and send him fogbusting.

[Hercules]

Any recent images?

[Hercules]

Should we now set up a Diplomatic Forum (Forums).

[mzprox]

Here is the current situation.
from the espionage points we can tell that we are Inca's first contact.
The river right in the middle between our lands could be a fair border.. but it might be better for us to get all the river tiles if we could
for safety reasons Aurora will finish a warrior next turn and sends him fogbusting and also will prebuild an other (but it will be finished after the barrack)

We are second in gnp with 36, the first one has 54.
