Contact with Lux Invicta!

We could help Lux get Writing from RP.

Tell them we will release them from the non-trade clause, and allow them to trade HBR to RP only.

If they get Writing out of it, they gift it to us.

Then we kill them



Or alternatively, we can do the same with ND.
Tell ND to trade HBR for writing.

ND can tell RP that we broke a deal with them (non exploration deal etc etc) and ND no longer trusts GOW.
They are willing to trade HBR for writing.

Again, ND gifts writing to us.

Then we go kill Lux

Anything so long as the last thing said is:

If people want to get writing via Lux, here is a possible message:

Trip,

The Glory of War is prepared make an exception for Lux Invicta from the no-trade clause included in the horseback riding deal. Lux is allowed to trade horseback riding to the Roleplay team, providing Lux gifts writing to the Glory of War if it is given to Lux for horseback riding.

Thank you,

We need to hold off, Roleplay accepted Horseback Riding which is an acceptance of the treaty. They must now give us Writing when we are "north of Sargossa" or be in violation of the treaty.

Trip wants to hire us to help in his upcoming war against ND.

Here is his proposal for land division:

[Hot_Enamel]

We need to sound convincing that we are not going to attack him.
Delay the negotiations as much as possible

Where do we get our iron from ?

[Hot_Enamel]

Have we gotten bacl to Lux at all regarding this ?

Trip asked me about it today, and I told him only one person had commented on it, but that our players aren't very active on the weekends.

I said we would probably send a counter offer.

GF - You/We should probably set up a war campaign thread...I know we have not hammered out the finer details with ND yet, but
- How many turns until the invasion begins.
- What will be our forces.
- What is their expected defenses.

If they are building up gold reserves...are they going for a warrior -> sword upgrade ?
What communication tactics are being used to ensure Lux does not expect us entering into the war.
- We can continue to delay all negotiations regarding land division....keep haggling
- We can offer to extend the NAP but then just haggle over what other conditions should be attached
- RP has done it to us...we should learn from it.

[Panzer32]

We have an agreement to trade Lux math (from NDG) for mysticism. Will we break this agreement? We can get the agreement from Vox, but that will probaby madden Lux, so then they might post that we broke the agreement in the main forum.

Soon, our non agression treaty ends in 1-2 turns.

We have two cities building up shields to switch to Horsemen once the resource is connected. Other than that we have two Warriors in the wilderness and four veteran Spearmen.

We have a settler enroute to our fourth city and the third city is currently building a barracks.

We also have a little over 180 gold.

Probably, but they won't make it, they just founded a third city between their second one, Dreadnaughtica and Imperial City.

We are haggling on border specifications but it would be nice to take a city or two as Lux is very gold wealthy right now.

I think HE meant with Lux - delay until we declare war.

Yep -
A method of convincing Lux that we are not attacking them is to offer up a new/extension of the current NAP.

We should do this as invasion day becomes very close.
Just keep haggling over what they should pay us for the NAP...never agreeing or putting up an official offer (they may accept it)

This has to be done carefully to show that we are serious out the NAP, but dont drag out negotiation for too long or they will become suspicious.



On another note....Lux's map conveniently leaves out all the resources. Where do they propose we get our iron from ?

Recieved this from Trip:

Perhaps you have, or have not heard about the discussions between GF and myself regarding ND and the current situation. If not, then we've been working out terms for an alliance to divide ND between GoW and Lux. We will have exact terms available for you soon, so I hope that you might discuss this a bit with GF.

Yours,
Trip, Lux Invicta Monarch

They don't expect a thing...

The terms are that if Lux does the smart thing and surrenders to us, we will allow them into our team!

This brings up an interesting point: what happens to 'dead' team's members? Do they join whichever other team they want? Do you think that no Luxian would want to join us because we wiped them out?

edit: I replied to Trip saying:

Thank you Trip, I have heard. I know that GF is on top of this situation. We are looking forward to your proposed exact terms.

edit: I replied to Trip saying:

This might not be a bad idea, as the minute Lux gets the save they will see a huge stack of ND troops on their city.

We might discuss the idea of them merging with us.
