Also, as soon as we get contact with Lego, we can trade for their map (they'll think they'll be getting a good deal... we'll have to get something for contact with all the civs though), seeing where the good places to settle are. They'll see our continent, but it won't matter much any more at that point.

Hey, its better than any other alternative, so go for it. Getting NDE to agree to it may be a problem, given that they have been on bad terms with us from the beginning.

Take GoW's aid and attempt to flee to new continent. And proceed with NDE running rampant on this continent to destroy all.

I doubt we can fight off Legoland by ourselves, but we might actually be technologically ahead (if we're lucky). In which case we have to somehow trade cunningly so that we can build from things we can offer. But it would be quite a task. I suggest trying to be quiet as possible, if we're lucky... we might get some time to build.

I see this as not changing any of our previous plan. Just a slight modification. Instead of us going near RP, we would be going to new continent.. which is better.

However, now that i think about it. there is ONE BIG drawback. we have to use the settler now to build a coastal city which then needs to pop a settler and go off on its way. This means we have to be stuck in the continent longer than we need to, and unless we build a city near RP (which would take longer), we would be a at risk of NDE and GoW backstabbing us and using the excuse of letting us live to intentionally make us settle in an area reachable by them. This would create a bit of a dilemma, so the option is still not 100% preferrable for me.

Especially if GoW knew about our evac plan. Im guessing trip told GF about our settler before they attacked us. Perhaps they want to insure our demise byu making sure to know where the settler is. I need to contemplate more before making my decision here, but you guys go ahead and tell me what would be the best to do for now.

Ghengis said that NDE was receptive to the idea. This might just be NDE buttering GoW up for the kill, but who knows. I'll inquire of Darekill on this matter.

I doubt that Legoland would be too hostile towards us. Probably pretty surprised, but I don't see them having or building up an army to deal with us.

If we do pull it off, then I think being a naval colonial power would be our best option. That's what I wanted to do originally after all, and this way we might be able to do that.

this plan still needs to be investigated more tho... check my editted post for a reason.

PS. why would they offer us merger plan and also agree on letting us live? Im quite confused.

To be honest, I think GF is trying to play us, but perhaps if we are fgoing to merge with NDE, maybe we can mention this fact of us getting free tech as "excuse" for letting us live and plan to merge later and escape into new continent.. etc etc...

it could work.

It's possible, but what do we have to lose anyways? If we are destroyed, we join NDE as planned and wipe GoW off the face of the planet. I think it can work, but it does need NDE's approval. I'm sending Darekill a PM now.

OK! Great idea! Go for it! A few points:

I sure hope we're able to reach Lego's continent;
Calc has a point - we need 2 settlers (1 to build a city on a coast, 1 to found a new city on the other side)
We'd better not run into barbarian boats. Can you see the headlines? "Lux Civilization wiped off the face of the planet by the Hsung-Nu tribe". Brrr....
Too bad that Lego will immediately know that the city on their continent is our capital. They'll know we'll only have one city.
Will this go faster than moving a stack south? I think it does.

**CiverDan** · February 19, 2003, 18:13

We would Need a partnership with Lego of some kind for this to work. Otherwise they will just decide it is this there best interest to attack the city as they we know that A)it will have only one unit B) they can keep it if taken because it is a the capital. Also, There has to be enough room on legos continent otherwise they wont agree to this for obvious reasons.

This plan has been further developed... look at the other thread for details.
