Greetings to you, new king of the Babylonians, from the American nation.

Note, that our civs were in peace for a long time now (mainly, because our armies did not meet up to now )

We would like to continue this way, though we are worried about your good relationship to those evil french, who are known as a barbaric and blood-thirsty race

Furthermore, we condemn your recent aggressive conquest of nearly the whole greek nation. We friendly ask to be more nice to that mostly harmless small race

Hi guys,
It is with the greatest sadness that I step into LaFayette's shoes only to find them far to big for me. I am honoured to be permitted to do this, thank you all.

I shall read all of this thread once I get a chance, but thanks Klaus for the excellent summary above. Some immediate questions come to mind, is the diplomacy in terms of alliances, trading agreements etc carried out in the open in this thread, or in secret via PMs and e-mail? Are Declarations of War a requirement, a civility or announced by the capture of a city? Is tech theft permitted?
________________________________________

We would welcome communication from our fellow Heads of State (Klaus and Dave have my e-mails) setting out their hopes and fears vis a vis the Mighty Babylonian Empire.

We share the concern of our fellows at the state of imminent Global Warming and would be happy to enter a 'Kyoto Pact' pledged to the removal of all pollution from our beatiful planet, but cannot of course commit such resources uni-laterally without similar assurances from you, my friends

Thus spake Hammurabi II, First Citizen of the Babylonian Hegemony

Mostly the latter, although there's no reason not to announce things in this thread if you think it will be beneficial.

The latter method is the one I used, and my victim didn't complain about any rule infractions (although he did retake the city ). The concern is more in the opposite direction, where the AI will declare war on your friends.

Yes.

Yes.

And I beleive you will see a certain statue in a certain French city that is testament to the fact that tech theft is allowed (the statue was supposed to be in Mongolia)

Hail Oh Raptor, Noble Leader of the Horde!

Greetings and assurances of Eternal Friendship (eternal is, after all, a relative expression) from Hammurabi II.
We have yet to spend any real time perusing the map of the world, so details such as the exact placement of statues have yet to be discovered. We Trust that you are enjoying the Incomparable Comfort of riding in a 700 shield Elephant
We are given to understand that you are not currently of the Enlightened Alliance and thus we must express our Earnest Hope that your honourable Horsemen have progressed beyond being the Finest Archers of the Steppes and have mastered the Art of Armour Piercing Weapons, for Such may be their Need soonest.

First Citizen Hammurabi II of the Babylonian Hegemony

Can one of you give me a link for Civ2Dip - I guess it will be needed?

Well said most noble leader of those we hear are called "Babylonians". The Mongolian people have only rumour and green spots on a map telling us there is such a civilization as the Babylonians as we have yet to be in contact. Your words are encouraging however, and perhaps you are not to in the dark as the other members of your "Enlightened Alliance".

There have been acts of agression by both the French and the Roman leaders, both past and current that we cannot easily forgive (something about a Damned Former President in a Roman City) but as the Babylonians are only guilty by association with their allies, we as of yet have no need to worry about said "Armour".

Your words about controlling the pollution problem are indeed encouraging, we have long been working to control our own internal pollution and dismayed that the rest of the world does not seem to have the same priority, perhaps in this matter the world can work together and as such prove that we do not need to fight amongst ourselves. After reparations are made for the numerous acts of agression by the aforementioned French and Romans (or Fries and Pizza as we like to refer to them by in Mongolia) perhaps the world can finally know peace!

Can't help you with CivDip, though I have it on my computer I have yet to use it with this game, I do use it with another PBEM but for this game I have successfully arranged online MP sessions....for intelligence sharing

[kengel]

Welcome, Scouse Gits, to our game

I am not sure if digging through this thread will give you information which you not already know, but if you have the time, it might be fun to go through history.

Surely the american nation hears with gladness the spoken words of peace (of course after we have freed the world from those french infidel dictatoric regime, and made the freed cities happy by giving chewing gum to the pained folk )

We are most worried about that pollution happening in the world. As an act of initiative, we promise not to attack any engineers which we see doing the hard job of cleaning the environment. Though we face hard war times, we started a small own initiative of cleaning our local environment, and we encourage friends and foes to do the same

Presently I am on a trip and have no access to a data sheet I created for our PBEM; as far as I remember it includes the link to Yaroslavs CivDip tool. I will post it as soon as I am back home.

Here is the link to Yaroslavs excellent CivDip tool
