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

[ForesterSOF]

What is the drop distance in tiles.

[Hercules]

Eight Tiles.

Would giving Gaians a drop unit also give the chopper ability?

[Hercules]

However we know Morgan are going to discover MMI soon anyway. So maybe we send over a air transport?

[GeoModder]

There's no-one else except us having MMI atm, so if we can persuade the Gaians NOT to trade that tech with either Morgans or us we're fine in regard of the Spartans.

No Herc, drop ability doesn't give chopper chassis.
Airtransport? You got there something, Herc. And since proper land units of Gaians have meet us already there shouldn't be a problem us transfering it over to them (the problem the 'Borgs had with the Uni last DG).

Something else that should be discussed with both Morgans and Gaians. Yang and Spartans are both eligible to the Governor seat now, and council can be called together now.

Do the three of us vote for Yang in a counter against the Spartans, or let them pay dearly in tech or whatever for our support?

PM's should be sent to both factions for this matter as well.

[ForesterSOF]

So it is looking like we send a Drop AAA Garison or air transport and then they send us a Drop Clean (X).

Cost to us is 32 ecs and time.

Is this acceptable to all.

[GeoModder]

To me it is.
But please do ask if they have a better counter offer...

[Hercules]

We don't send AAA added, just ordinary drop garrison.

[Hercules]

Just noticed in Gaian PM above that they asked for drop AAA unit. That's two techs in exchange for one.

[GeoModder]

Ouch, overlooked that. Thanks for bringing it to the attention Hercules.

[ForesterSOF]

So;

Drop Garrison for Drop Clean (X)

Agreed on this.

[Hercules]

I think so but it does need to be explained in a diplomatic manner. Also with a promise about sending a chopper unit / MMI further down the line.

We need info on Spartans or info from someone who does.

[Hercules]

With those two Spartan sea units near HG, I wonder is UN Aid open for Drop Probe or do we think Spartans will have built defence probes as a priority.

[ForesterSOF]

The role says yes and that is what it seems to be what they are doing.

As far as Spartan info we could make a trade with Morgan. Info on Spartans for (X)

[Hercules]

Ok Forest, maybe contact Morgan and ask have they info/infiltration on Spartans. Maybe we should do this in a roundabout way. What do we think?

Let us be mindful of the fact, that even asking the question, shows that we don't have infiltration of Spartans.

However we must assume that Gaians and Morgan will exchange intelligence info up to a point and will convey to them our concerns about Sparta tech capture.

[GeoModder]

I would be surprised if the Morgans had infiltration on Sparta, and think it's likely the Spartans have on Gaians.

However, there is a way to get one of the factions infiltrator info on the Spartans, which is capturing a number of Hive bases to the point that it drops significantly, and two teams vote for the third team then which will hopefully convey info on an ask-and-ye-shall-know base.
