Shall we trade our minimaps?

So, we start next to our antithesis; that's... interesting.

We should definitely trade minimaps then. It'll improve our relations, and we can see how close they are (depending on their proximity, I might even vote for placing our second city in a blocking position).

Trip said that his team may trade mini maps with us. He is going to ask his team what they think. WHat do you guys think?

[Kloreep]

Our minimap certainly carries more value now that we've founded a second city; if we trade, I think we should agree not to give or describe the maps to other teams.

Anyone know how Lux is doing? I haven't been watching the demographics screen closely, and I don't have a good impression of their relations with other teams.

Lux is rumored to have in-game contact with Neu Demogyptica.
They didn't appear on our Demography screen recently, so we cannot estimate if they're populated or not. Chance is small that they already have a second city (they would need wheat or cattle in the radius of their capital).
I'd say we wait a couple of turns before trading minimaps.

Judging from their current score, Luxes are doing pretty bad (they are constantly last or last but one, IIRC). My guess is a mediocre or below-average starting location (the same goes for Gathering Storm).

I have no specific feeling about trading minimaps with LI. Can't think if any advantages or disadvantages at the moment... on second thought, we might get info on their whereabouts PLUS a hint about where ND is... that would be nice, I'd say.

Yeah, I'd probably go for the deal.

[Kloreep]

Yeah, why not? If the RPers (and maybe others) are handing out general locations, it's best to trade anyway.

Of course, I wouldn't be so sure of ND's location. They started the game with a scout, and those guys move fast.

[Tiberius]

Yes, why not? If we wanted our position to be secret, we shouldn't have traded any minimaps. Now that we are trading them anyway, why not with Lux, too?
