  • Dealing With Foreigners 460 Ad

    We have contact with 2 civs -- the Japanese (monarchy, have embassy, at war) and the Carthaginians (despotism, possible embassy, hostile). How shall we deal with them?

    NOTE: Hydey's post says we have a Carth embassy, but THIS GRAPHIC would suggest otherwise. We will assume King Hydey's nubile young assistant just captured the wrong graphic.
    (Punish her, Hydey!)

    We have an embassy with the Carths because the Foreign Minister screen doesn't say "no embassy".

      I'd say bombard both of them with caravans and kill everything that hits the sea.

      Let them kill each other and save us some work

        OK here are my suggestions:

        Let's take over the Carths as soon as possible so we could save them from oppressive Jap rule.

        At the same time send caravans to the Japs so we will get rich and smart wohoo

          Thanks, Ming

          I just want to take a moment to publicly thank Ming for deleting the incorrect version of this poll after my PM request.

              Hydey waits for apology from the fool who said we don't have an embassy with the Carts.

              I wonder how long you have played civ when you can't tell that we have an embassy or not

                Why an apology Hydey?

                  If I accuse someone of being wrong and put up evidence to try and prove it but the evidence I put up actually proves that the person was correct all the time, then I always apologize.

                  But then I guess that is just how I taught to behave by my parents.

                      Hey, I was in a hurry and made a mistake. Apparently we have an embassy but haven't had any discussions with the Carths (thus no "peace/war" status).

                      I do apologize for posting incorrect info, which reflects on my office.

                      but apologize to Hydey? For what??
                      (That will happen at about the same time His Majesty apologizes for calling me a fool.)

                      ...and btw, have played for under a year and gladly admit to not knowing it all.

                      My final, dignified and mature comment to Hydey:

                        President Hydey was ill at the time of his comment and so was not his usual tactful self.
