The Infotrader/Infiltrator Network - Diplomacy plug-in (II)

[Hercules]

Actually it near the end save. Pact accepted and we get map

Lal is researching Doc Air and wants us to research Field Modulation

Also Hive iimpact is in fungus at 25, 53

[Hercules]

see ya Monday

Good start to my turn yeah

[Mart]

Ok, Hercules, good luck on your trip.
We will complete the turn

One more question - tech trade with Lal - he wanted to do it?

[Mart]

Crap - cant load this attachment....

[Mart]

Well, we get the permission to play one of our saves - I have a clean one.
I will attempt to copy all Hercules movements. Please refer to 2161-2170 thread for further info.

[FlameFlash]

weighing in late, but like Lal & Gaian pacts.

[ForesterSOF]

ok

[GeoModder]

We already have pact? Ok, too late for my vote thus...

Too bad, if we played it right, we could have had EnvEcon already for our map and then go for a pact.

Mart, you're turnplayer now? I suggest wait a bit with playing 'till I have a chance checking the diplo screen with Lal. I might find a sequence which gives us a tech after all.

Can you post a midsave somewhere?

[Mart]

We got this message from Mead:

mart7x5

Please let me know if you would be interested in tech trades that would allow both of us to reach a level of at least choppers.


We will get missiles this turn and get DAP shortly thereafter.

If we were to cooperate in our tech trades both of us could obtain DAP this turn and choppers very quickly.

I do not know if you got missiles this turn. If you did then I propose you send it to us. We then should be able to get DAP (instead of missiles) and then give DAP back to you. Then we can figure out how to trade to speed up both of our tech levels.


Mead

It gets more and more interesting... Let me see my tech chart...
------------
Am I seeing what I am seeing, or this is just an illusion?...

[Mart]

Got this one then

mart7x5

Please let me know if you got SFF this turn (I'm assuming that with already having HEC and the Solar Flares that you probably got SFF this turn)?

If you can, and to do so, then send us SFF this turn and I will send DAP back to you this turn.

Mead

PS please also send us a Pact.

Looks like they need us very much as Pactmates and also they think we research SFF. I wonder, why this thought?

[GeoModder]

Mart, keep in mind we cannot allege ourselfes just like that!

I am still not happy with a pact with the Spartans' main enemy. Especially with that fleet near our coast!

[Mart]

I know, in my oppinion a Pact with Morganities now is out of question. If, yes - appropriate preparations should be done.

As for the techs - they assume too much. Better would be question - what we research and not when we get SFF

We can of course get SFF from Lal

[GeoModder]

It looks too much like the same trick they pulled the turn before. Hurriedly begging us to do something not all of us agreed upon. I prefer to keep in control of the faction ourself, not to become a handy vasal for the Morgans.

[Mart]

It was different to send them that thing pre-accepted, but entering Pact may be more serious. Or is much more serious. Diplomatic consequences would be much more severe.

I can understand though their uneasiness now - they lost their capital and haven't seen the turn yet. They might get over it first, analyse the situation having more time, etc.

I will prepare a note explaining, that we presently do not research the SFF, but we research IntInt? Should we reveal it? What if Morganities can send us IntInt? then we might get another tech here. I have to check possibilities.
I will explain, that we cannot enter Pact now yet too.
------------
Well, it does not look very good. We get rather weird tech choices. We still lack Doctrine: Initiative

[GeoModder]

Edit: never mind, Synthetic Fossil Fuels of course.

Just tell them we're far off track for the SFF. I see no real reason to tell them our current research.

It might be interesting to ask why they thought we were busy with SFF.
