Shall we trade our minimaps?

[vondrack]

OK, Roleplayers and Glory of War offered trading minimaps. Would you like to accept their offers or not? Which minimap you would like to trade?

4000BC - reveals our starting position only
current - reveals more of our surroundings, even though nothing extremely important, I believe... the two spots suitable for settling are close enough to our capital, the rest is of pretty low attractiveness anyway...

Offer to trade our current minimap for the RPers. We should show we trust them, and only trading old minimaps will not have that effect. Plus, if we're on different continents, we should figure that out ASAP so we don't waste too much time with coordinated research; and if we can't see each other's coastlines, we won't discover that all that quickly.

GoW is an interesting dilemma. Trading minimaps with them could set a good precedent for cooperation, and they certainly would be useful if someone's hostile to us (it sounds like Demogyptica, for one, are fans of conquest). On the other hand, they might see us as a juicy target. So I'll hold off on voting till I decide on that one, but until I do, please count this post as +1 for exchanging current minimaps with the RPers.

I think we should trade current minimaps with both civs. There is nothing there that is going to give anything away and the info we get in return could well prove to be priceless. We have no current reason to beleive that there is any risk.

I want to hold off on giving GoW anything until we know how close RP is.

Scenerio 1: RP is close enough that we can coordinate research. Would we benefit from doing the same with GoW? I think the GoW benefit goes way down under scenerio 1.

Scenerio 2: RP distance does not allow immediate coordination of research. Now I'm all for sharing with GoW.

Should we be a bit more proactive in finding Civs to coordinate with? I'm OK with RP, but do we want to deal with GoW? We need to look at the other teams and determine which would fit our needs best and then go after their help.

I would consider just trading minmaps.

[Nimitz]

Come on lets trade the minimaps it gets there trust, help us in the end, and it doesn't any important info away other than the location.

[Jack_www]

Besides I want to see the real start postion of the Glory of War.

[Nimitz]

That would be cool, imagin if they weren't lieing.

[Kloreep]

I voted current with both. It would be nice if we could get GoW as friendly as mercenaries can be, and they may be useful if we meet up with Demogyptica or some other Civ like that.

[ZargonX]

I say we might as well just go for both of them, current. I mean, keep your friends close, potential enemies closer, right?

[vondrack]

OK, the poll shows clearly that we want to trade our current minimap with RPers. I have authorized Nimitz to handle our minimap from Turn 13 to Togas and ask him for the same. I guess we shall take some more time before we respond to GoW.

[ZargonX]

I will respond to Gow and inform them that a decision will be pending. I'm sure they will understand.

[Nimitz]

I've got the RP mini map.

[Kloreep]

And our real response to the GoW remains pending... to be resolved after Christmas. But it looks to me like a majority want to trade minimaps.

[Nimitz]

Oh the RPers got the GoW Map GoW is to our north probly acrossed the isthmas.
