1720ad Foreign ministers report on Indians

Foreign ministers report on the Indians

The Indians have 6 cities with their capital Delhi and they are building king richards crusade in Madras. They are a republic with 1053 gold in the treasury.

They have 2 techs that we do not have, bridge building and Medicine and are researching Feudalism.

They are at peace with the romans, Babylonians ans ourselves with no contact with other civs.

They have 1 wonder of the world, the oricle of Delhi

I recommend we try to stay at peace with the indians while we finish off the egyptians and americans but be prepared in case of sneak attack on New Castellon (we are well defended already)

being some what new to the game, i don't really know where india is. could you maybe post a screen shot for us? please?

You can see a lot of the World in the thread "Our 1640AD Map". There has been very little change, so it may be sufficient. I've bumped it up to the first page.

I vote for the 3rd option... um no the second one.... wait no the 3rd yes the 3rd.

aren't 2 and 3 basically the same, knowing that in Civ the AI always breaks their treaties ? (is that how to spell treaties?)

[atawa]

I agree with Hydey on this one, better focus on Egypt and Americans for now

[Kuciwalker]

India isn't a threat to us. We'll have to conquer them eventually, but that should wait until after the Egyptians, Americans, and Carthaginians. Attacking before we kill those three will just drain our resources.

si vis pacem, para bellum !

something about screwing peace?

[Kuciwalker]

The third option is actually more the responibility of the SMC. It is different from the second option because it implies attacking India as soon as possible, as opposed to waiting for other conquests.

--> If you want peace, prepare for war!
This is why you have to love those Romans

Let us make a desert and call it peace.

Same as the more modern "The best defense is a good offense".

[civman2000]

or, "the best offense is a good defense." In this game offense , but in general I prefer defense.

Anyone noticed that in civ3, depending on whether you want to disband an offensive unit or defensive, the military advisor is perfetctly willing to use either argument ?

[Space05us]

if the best offense is a good defense, and the best defense is a good offense, what happens if you offensive is great but your defensive sucks, or your defensive is great but your offensive sucks?

[civman2000]

CONTRADICTION!
