Re: to Sinbad
Post 3450 is one of the most ridiculous distortions of the facts that I have ever seen. I am extremely angry that you could view your own screw-up that way, and even blame me for it. The most polite response I could manage was post 3451.
I do not owe you an answer to the last two questions in that post.
Your interpretation of my "tolerate" statement is typical Bab paranoia. That was a complaint, but obviously not intended as a threat. If you care about the level of Persian anger towards Babylon, you could react to such Persian complaints - for example, you could consider a 3rd neutral zone, OR you could further distort my statements and demand more answers.
Your "SuperLegions question" was pretty obscure. Next time you demand an answer, check that you have asked a clear and reasonable question, and that your post is not highly offensive. Also IMO "SuperLegions" are units, but you are really asking about the related techs. Maybe you should have called it your "Tech question" or "Arms Race question".
I still don't know exactly what your question means. I've already explained that you killed the original deal. NO, I don't want that deal anymore. I also said I might consider a new lesser deal. But I won't put in as much effort. You did not seem very interested in the first deal IMO, and now I could not include previous incentives (like geometry), so I'd expect you to be even more difficult. So, no, I don't think we will make a new arms-race deal. But if you want to make a specific proposal, go ahead.
I don't really see much advantage to a one-turn warning about completion of a tech. How does that deter an arms race? That could be difficult for Persia to do anyway, because of unpredictable GL effects, for example.
BTW - if you want Engineering this turn, ask now and you can have it; later on you'll need to give advance notice.
