I'm sorry but I was bussy yesterday and saw this PM just right now. But I also saw that Barcelona is still in your hands. I doubt that GoW will batter your retreating troops. They have some manners after all. So maybe we can still come to an agreement about this next turn. Of course I must bring this in our Forum to discuss about it.

Hello,
we finally have come to a peace agreement I guess.
No GS troops nor citys on borconia anymore. That's fine.
I think Zayxus already aceptet the peace offer you sent.
So concerning the futur relations between ND and GS. We are open for almost everything.
Do you have plans for trading?
If so please let us know what you have in mind
Greetings.

Hello Darekill, thanks for the PM, and happy new year to all at ND.

We would be pleased to open business relations with yourselves, are discussing possible trades on our forum. Interestingly, it seems that our citizens on Stormia were happier at war with yourselves than at peace, but we have given them a tax-break and promised that they will cheer up once GS and ND start trading. We hope you appreciate this gesture of peace, goodwill, and progress.

So we are considering immediate luxury trade(s) with ND, if you are interested, and perhaps looking ahead to a possible research partnership. We are close to discovering Astronomy and have a strong research potential for the future. Do you have any suggestions in this area, and would you like to do a two-for-two lux deal immediately??

Hi Darekill,

I see from the F2 screen that you have Spices to trade. We can trade you furs for this - I meant to offer this in our turn but forgot.
If you send us Spices unnaccepted we can send you Furs accepted on our next turn.

Regards,

Cort

(re: furs-spice trade)

Sorry but I fear I'm a bit late to read this

Well I'll try to get this arranged for the next turn.

Hi Darekill,

We now have Astronomy - would you be interested in a tech trade? Perhaps you are researching it yourselves, but if you're near to completing Chemistry, we would be very interested in a possible trade.

We have the turn, so if you're up for trying to do a deal this turn (we don't want to start researching something if we can trade for it), please let us know.

Many thanks,

CH

PS - we can do that lux deal this turn

[Cort Haus]

Hi ND,

Are you guys up for doing any tech deals with us yet? A future deal of your Metallurgy for our Physics, for example? Let us know if you're interested.

Regards,

CH/GS

For ND the possible deals are still considered .

Hi Darekill,

We will soon have Physics to trade - are you interested? If so, let us know what you could offer us for it.

Regards,

Cort Haus

(PS - Whatever they say, GoW cannot trade this tech to you )

Darekill and Zayxus,

I have recently been appointed ambassador to your nation. GS is interested in technology trading with ND, but we have seen very little interest in this from you (I'm basing this on your team's response, or lack thereof, to Cort Haus' last couple of PMs regarding the same issue).

We are currently researching Magnetism, and plan on Theory of Gravity after that. I'm also told you do not yet have Physics. Do you have any interest in trading for or purchasing any of those technologies?

Further, our nations will be entering the Industrial Age quite soon. We are interested in setting up tech trades in advance for various IA techs. We are discussing doing this with GoW as well. Perhaps all 3 teams could come to an agreement?

If you are interested in any of this, please let me know. Also, if you are *not* interested in any of this, please tell me so. I'm involved in several demogames, and I'd really rather not waste my time and yours trying to negotiate trades that will never happen.

Thanks,

-Arrian

Response from Zayxus... such as it is:

RE: PTWDG
What ND would like to deal:
- Astronomie
- Physics

Perhaps all 3 teams could come to an agreement? Hope so.

Greetings
Zayxus

I'm not entirely sure what he means. I've gotta run for now, but I'll be back later and will draft a response.

Translation:

ND would like to make trades for Astronomy and Physics.

They also wonder if you would consider a 3-way deal with GOW with regards to these techs.

[vmxa1]

I don't know the players, but normally when I ask someone if they want to make a deal and they show no enthusiasm. I take that to mean just that. They are either not interested or ambialvent.

so no suggestion of deals, no references that would make one think they are willing, only bland and terse message!!!!

this is how they've acted throughout the game, at least to us. Its partially a language barrier, as only a few of ND speak english well enough to communicate precisely. Who knows.

[OPD]

Yeah but I don't think the language barrier can explain the fact they want to trade for a tech they already have?

Although the use of the word "greetings" to sign off is a good touch
