OK, we "invade" Your continent with all our settlers!!Originally posted by nbarclay
Can you folks honestly say that Vox would have been allowed to settle if they had asked first? Or would their asking just have created a situation where you would be saying, "We told you not to settle here," even louder than you are now?
Nor do I see much merit in the "three teams have come together" argument. Yes, it means something in terms of ability to project military force, but the fact that three civs band together due to a mutual self-interest in avoiding competition for land conveys no special moral authority that I can see.

So do you need the land? If so then surely asking before all this happened would have been the best course of action, in hindsight? We are not unreasonable, and cooperation is the best way to go for us all right now. Doesn't it say something to Vox that 3 teams with opposing agends have come together on this issue?

Regarding the fairness of land distribution (as brought up by Hot_Enamel), a lot depends on the size of the continents involved. Do you have any reason to think Bob isn't at least one and a half times the size of Estonia, considering that four civs started there and only two here?Comment

Can you make a case that you're just settling the best, lowest-corruption land available to you? I didn't think so.Originally posted by [DG]mav_son

Yah... 5 isn't 4.The game distributed the teams unevenly. Just because Bob started with 4, doesn't mean it can support 4.
We should consult F11... I'm betting Vox is dead last in land area, aside from Lux of course! I haven't seen Vox's land, but I can tell enough to know they got screwed by the RNG putting those straights there.
BOB is well endowed with land... Not all 'continents' are created equal. Maybe a BOB civ would care to trade homelands with Vox? :LOL:Comment

Thank-you for your arguments Nathan. Your Voxian neighbours appreciate the moral and intellectual support. But it is now a moot point - and agreement has been reached - the city 'sold' - and all but one of our troops have left the continent, and he will do so next turn.Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.Comment

We are. That city was right on the edge of our border and relatively close to our capital. A natural place to expand.We should consult F11...

The city that is called Port isolation is on a Land that is claimed by Neu Demogyptica. What is GoW going to do about it. Ever considered in donating it to us? We are not amused.Member of the Apolyton C3C DG-TeamComment

Darekill - How I just LOVE ND diplomacy: You ask (nay, DEMAND) the moon and offer nothing in exchange.
Just for "grins and giggles," what would ND offer GoW for this key peace of real estate? Hmmm?____________________________

The city is being disbanded in order to remove it from ND's rightful territory, However since we are in a Despotism we only have the Pop Rush available to rush build projects and it is currently a size one city.Originally posted by Darekill

I just checked the foreign office that started this thread, and couldn't help but notice it is terribly out of date. The war with Vox hasn't been mentioned, and I wonder who you had public NAPs with... Is the information on it still accurate? Has this page stopped to be supported? I liked the idea, and am sorry to see it go...
