Yes it did.
I am still laughing....

I think Lux's death was caused by a Vox backstab, and have said it in a public forum, they can't be trusted, and propogating fear of them should help us.

From BH

Hi Panzer32.

Interesting week in the world. I noted your 'ooops' comment in the public forum thread regarding our announcement about Lux. And yes - you're right - it was a contributing factor.

But that is behind us. Map making. My apologies again for not getting in touch with you sooner. We would like to offer 40 gold in exchange for map making. We acknowledge that it is not a great sum of gold, but the tech is becoming readily available and could be worth nothing shortly. We also promise not to trade it to GS. We had gotten wind from Lux that there was some sort of deal in the works between GoW and GS, and I can only presume it involved map making. We will not mess up that deal on you.

Let me know if this is acceptable, and we can conclude the transaction shortly.

I wish GoW all the best prosperity in this new era of peace we now find ourselves.

Regards .... Beta.

How about we offer mapmaking for 40 gold + world map?

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

For 40 gold? What about the tech they are currently working on?

Unless they increase this offer to the tech they are working on I say we go with it and burn their civ to the ground. It is blatantly obvious to me that they consider us their sworn enemy from the proposals and diplomatic cold shoulders they are giving us.

[Hot_Enamel]

They just got a heap of gold from Lux !!!

First, they insult us by using Lux to try and get MM for free, and then offer us less than the Lux offer. (They were going to give us a worker as well)

Some options....
Tell them we will accept a gpt payment....or better still, tell them we will agree, but they sell their next tech advance to us for the same price...(or their free tech in the next age)

Dunno ... 40g is pretty cheap...even if it does come with a WM

Dont be afraid to tell them no.... And suggest to ND that they sell MM to Vox ASAP.

sent to Betahound:

Betahound,

The Glory of War populus does not agree with the 40g + world map for map making trade. Here are some options we have for you:

1. 80 gold + world map for map making
2. 120 gold for map making
3. 5gpt + world map for map making
4. 40 gold + world map for map making, providing you give us either your next tech (that GoW does not already have), or your free tech in the next age for 40 gold.

I found giving multiple options is good, like we did with RP.

[Panzer32]

I'm afraid that none of your proposals are acceptable to Vox. We would like to present you with a counter-offer of 40 gold plus literature. Please let us know. Thank-you.
... Beta.

RP deal was going to include lit, but maybe its better to let Vox do this deal. I will confirm the deal later today if no one has a problem with it.

[Hot_Enamel]

Keep RP happy.

Either tell Vox no, and let ND know they can resell MM for us....anything they get over 40g they keep.

Or just agree to 40g...or else RP will sell it to them.

Next tech trade round, we offer a low price, or we embargo them with our tech, and sell at a high price.

Are Vox even studying ? or are they just buying techs at low prices ?

[Donegeal]

Tell Vox "No, we have a trade for Lit already approved. Try another proposal."

[Panzer32]

Ask ND for confirmation about MM for Lit with RP.

Are Vox even studying ? or are they just buying techs at low prices ?

I think they are, as they have literature.

I'm sending Vox a mail saying 40 gold is acceptable for MM.

[Panzer32]

I told Vox we wanted to trade polytheism, and they said:

We are in contact with other civs with Polytheism. In fact - we have researched a good part of it already. Therefore, we would be willing to consider a straight cash deal. Please advise.

I said 60 gold would probably be fine. We need to undercut any other civ's offers, and also make sure they don't just research it themselves.

[Panzer32]

uhm... oops. Disregard that last post...

I get mixed up with Polytheism and Philosophy.

I offered polytheism to Vox for 49 gold (to avoid paying 10 gold to RP), and philiosophy to Vox for 60 gold.

There are no other civs to offer it to them, the other three that have it all agreed to not trade it to them except ND which is offering it for more than us and has agreed to pay us the price we were asking Vox for.
