430 Orders

[Aggie]

Here is the place for all to post orders.

Issues
1) What should we build in Deep Dark Dungeon?
I was thinking temple/libary/grainary

2) Do we make a deal with GS for New Madrid and Barcelona. GS is leaving BOB this turn and will abandon them otherwise. What deal will we make. I'd be willing to give chem/lux for it.

3) RP needs to be dealt with, we need to get a yes or no on peace. If it is a no on peace will we get GS to destroy them or will we request permission to move through. We have a galley in poistion to moves troops across.

where is MZ and his chat with GS??

Do not let those cities be abandoned, we need them, esp for negotiating with ND. Give 'em luxes for it, and as a last resort chemistry but hopefully not.

I think GS will want to protect RP as much as possible on Estormia. They will surely not allow us to land, our best hope is to pressure them to take RP out.

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Is RP only on Estonia? I would be willing to support peace once ND and us are the only civs on Bob, simply because it would make us look better internationally.

[Aggie]

I'm all for peace and GS did say they would "make them make peace".

On the city front, I'm sure they will want Chemistry or maybe astro. We need to email Lego to see if we can get astro and then trade it for the cities.

I PM'ed him to tell him to hold the turn until we can discuss what we'll give for those cities.

Hello Cort

We have been discussing the situation with the two cities Barcelona and New Madrid and we are willing to offer GS a free lux deal for them or perhaps a favorable (to GS) tech trade. Tell me what you guys think.

Best regards
-MZ

I am reluctant to offer a whole tech straight off the bat, let's see what they respond.

[Master Zen]

also, Vox wants Chivalry for Printing Press as well as compensation for the extra cost. However, PP is pretty much a worthless tech to us since we already forfeited JS Bach's. I suggest we PM them back and telling them for a straight trade.

Greetings to Aggie, Master Zen and the rest of the fine people of Glory of War.

We apologize for not returning your email sooner regarding this deal as the holidays beckoned.

Regarding our discussion about sending Printing Press to Glory of War, Vox Controli would like to request the technology known as chivalry from Glory of War. As Printing Press is 4 tech points higher than Chivalry a deal for gold can be struck or perhaps an addition of 20 turns of the luxury item that Glory of War owes to Vox as part of past deals. If this offer is acceptable to Glory of War please PM me or Beta and we can work out a written deal. If this offer isn't acceptable perhaps we can work something else out.

Regards,

Rhoth

reply from Cort Haus:

Can you trade us Chemistry when you get it for these two cities?

hmmm.... aggie seems to be in favor, Panzer has doubts, I have doubts myself...

[Donegeal]

I'm OK with it, but we slap the tech embargo on them the instant we have the cities.

[Panzer32]

chem for those two cities? You have to be joking

I say let ND capture them when GS is gone... if GS disbands them then good riddence, let ND settle there.

[Aggie]

Wow, we seem divided on this issue. In that case we need more time for a decison. I like the idea of getting those cites and the lux's barcelona provides. On the other hand with a grainary, new cities could build up fairly quickly. They will be fairly corrupt until a FP is built by ND down there. Also since this deal saves ND and not us, we could say that this applies toward the resettlement and developement help that we are planning for ND. On a issue like this I believe either we move together or we don't move. So as know, no deal.

Aggie

[Master Zen]

Ok, me and aggie talked last night and agreed to Chemistry as long as they gave us a free lux (and the cities of course). I thus PMed Cort with this but apparently they misunderstood the deal and think the lux deal is furs for wines.

I see some people are uneasy at the chemistry issue so I will delay in replying until we have reached a consensus (I hate that word).

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

We should get Furs and Incense from them in this deal. The more luxes the better.

[Panzer32]

sure, whatever. You have my support.

[Aggie]

I recieved this earlier.

"Two Cities
Hi, and Happy New Year, Aggie.

I'd have thought that Barca's silks and nearby Saltpeter (you
could rush settlers in Barc / NM) would have represented significant value.

How about if we offered some gold on top of the cities?"
End of quote.

Thats an idea. If they gave us enough gold to build settlers in the south and populate for ND could it be worth it?

Aggie

[Panzer32]

No. They want chemistry, and we're not going to give it to them. This is our chance to shoot ahead of them in technology, don't waste it on a couple cities that can and should be rebuilt!
