Cooperation with Legoland

[Panzer32]

The Great Bobian War
Hello, Panzer!

With your public declaration of war on GS, I believe it is time to start talking about the details of our business. I would imagine that a trilateral chat of Lego + ND + GoW would be useful now.

Off the cuff, here is a couple of points we would like to discuss (NONE of them are requests or demands! many of them are just ideas we'd like to know your opinion on!).

1) Lego unit help: catapults for capture, worker transfers/exchanges
2) Lego gold help: this is something we do not have much of ATM, but if you urgently need some gold, we might put something together
3) mutual help: tech exchange (Astronomy for Invention)
4) mutual help: luxury exchange (once we discover Astronomy, we could provide you with our dyes)
5) troop transfer: we believe we should start moving our troops to Bob almost immediately, gathering them somewhere well behind the front lines, assembling a stack that will be able to strike at GS, should they advance into your/ND core territory. With a "fleet" consisting currently of two galleys only, it will take some time, even if we plan to build a couple of caravels ASAP.
6) possibility of establishing a stronghold on Bob - just one small, coastal, no-culture city with walls/barracks meant only for recovery/upgrading of our troops. Would be abandoned or handed over to you after the war.
7) Right of Passage agreements

Other ideas/topics would emerge in the chat, I imagine...

Cheers,
vondrack

P.S.: a very similar PM sent to Darekill/ND.

We could use this as a starting point for the chat tommorrow.

Also, just something to Darekill about the chat:

Hi Darekill

Well its just about time for our weekly chat again, tommorrow afternoon/evening. If you are not aware, we have invited Legoland to our chat as they have expressed willingness to help out with our situation.

Just a reminder;

These are good ideas and ones we can discuss.

I think a Lego Armada landing on Estonia would be the most stragegic use of Lego forces. We can take Bob if we neutralize the GS force inflow.

Trade embargo

Simple statement on the main forum ...

"The following nations agree to a trade embargo on GS. The embargo will continue until they remove their forces and land claims from Bob"

I like that, but will Lego go for it?

FYI-I got a 5-day pass starting in about an hour so I should be readily available for any chats that come up.

Hopefully, we can get a lot of the database stuff for the MiniGame DemoGame set up and get that running here soon.

Even with Astronomy, Lego has to accross Bob to get to GS. There is still a 6 ocean tile gap between Lego and GS....

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

If they sailed the north route and attacked from the eastern edge after passing Vox.

The problem would be sinking GS ships prior so as not to allow them the chance or seeing it coming. I still think an attack on the GS mainland is not something their expecting.

If we can press the battle enough in the south to tie up GS ships for convoying troops to the southern front we might be able to sink the straglers up north.

Has anyone got any idea where Vox fits it right now?

[Hot_Enamel]

How secure is the west coast of RP ?

ND thinks its safe enough to leave cities undefended in the area.

Can lego send over their own settler and land on the west coast of RP ?
Perhaps take over the iron city ?
Need ND's input regarding this.

I'm sorry to say that there's a 90% probability I will miss tomorrow's chat. I hope someome can sub for me we need 2-3 people from GoW for the ideas to start floating...

[UnOrthOdOx]

I don't think lego should try to land on Estonia.

I believe GS has that surrounded with outdated/defensive/catapults units making a landing impossible until marines.

Best let Lego units block GS forcing GS to declare war on Lego.

[Panzer32]

I mainly agree with Unortho. Also, don't use any city-gifting crap. Units work much better.

[Hot_Enamel]

Re city gifting...
We need our cities to produce units.
Can they bring their own settler ? They can settle pretty much whereever they want.

Dont make this a deal breaker though...
We need to think about this... GS will invade at multiple points...(Inchon & Inchoff for example)
We may be hardpressed in defending all of our newly planted cities. Especially since we dont have a road network over there yet.
Have all of our settlers been used ? perhaps we may want to consider pulling some of them back.

[Panzer32]

From Vox:

Unfortunately, the game will not let me investigate anything. My guess is we are not allowed to use espionage while in anarchy. It will have to wait for two more turns. Sorry. I am returning the money. I almost considered keeping it to pay most of what GoW owes us but that is not why the money was sent.

And H_E, yes all settlers have been used. I am making roading there a priority; I might take Skulgaria worker there too.

[Hot_Enamel]

Can Lego investigate ? Who has the game ?

[Panzer32]

1. They don't have much $

2, and more important, if they have an embassy with GS or RP, GS/RP will see when they get an ROP with us, blowing our cover.
