Let's use Vox as spies

[Master Zen]

As long as RP doesn't declare war on us this turn, we can still set up an embassy and investigate ourselves, and get pics of both Pamplona and Toledo

[Panzer32]

But that's dependant on RP not declaring war... Vox can still investigate Toledo this turn, for the same amount and we can make an embassy before we declare war. This means that if RP declares war we are still guaranteed a shot of Toledo.

If Vox remains unwilling, GS may agree to it...

PM from Beta ... (MZ got a copy too)

Hi MZ. We are on-side. And can and will do it this turn. However, two changes to the agreement are required. Under number 2, we want GS cities excluded. Sort of a point of honor with us - if you understand. This may be re-negotiated in the future. And under number 5, we want to agree to the tech. I'm sure you can appreciate our reasons for this - as the clause can currently be intepreted that you choose the tech - which may resuklt in us getting a tech of little value to us. We will be reasonable in this, you have our word. And we will respect the no-trade clause. If the changes are OK with you - simply send a quick note. We are awaiting the save.

Regards - Beta.

ps I am also sending a copy to Hot_Enamel to ensure your team gets this.

Glory of War and Vox Controli Information Trade Pact

In the spirit of maintaining the strong relationship between the Glory of War (GoW) and Vox Controli (Vox), and determined to form a common front against threats to hegemony, our two nations agree to the following pact.

1 - Vox agrees to a sharing of information regarding city investigation to GoW. This will be done by means of a full screen capture of the city or cities in question.

2 - GoW will pay Vox's expenses in estabilishing embassies and investigating cities. On any given turn, GoW may request a quote on specific cities, excluding any cities of Gathering Storm. Vox will reply with the quote and GoW shall send the amount needed to Vox as soon as it has the turn. Vox shall investigate said city/cities during it's own turn and send the captured images back to GoW via e-mail. Should the cost of investigation increase between the time of the quote and the turn, GoW shall pay the difference on the following turn. Should the cost drop, the difference shall be held as "credit" for a future investigation.

3 - Screen captures must be clear enough to see all defending units and city stats.

4 - In return, GoW shall gift a Wine luxury for a 40-turn period, decided upon by Vox.

5 - Furthermore GoW agrees to gift a technology to Vox. This technology may be any one that GoW currently has or will research in the future, and must be agreed-to by Vox. GoW reserves the right to attach a no-trade clause to the trade.

6 - This agreement shall remain secret unless agreed otherwise by both parties. Moreover, Vox agrees not to disclose the nation who is target of GoW's military action until a formal declaration of war is in place.

7 - By terms of this agreement, information sharing by Vox may be done at GoW's request during any time during the duration of hostilities between GoW and any other Bobian civ. This treaty shall remain in place until hostilities cease although Vox reserves the right to request its free technology and free luxury at any time in the future.


Hoping to forge a lasting and mutually-beneficial relationship,

Signed.
