Foreign Affairs Discussion (Vol 3)

Harry - regarding Legoland and mapmaking - Yup - and that is why we should get that mini-map to Legoland - tell them to sail our way first - and promise them a basketful of techs. Diss or Eli - can you take care of the mini-map reproduction. It should go to Tiberius or vondrack.

I will start on the right words.

And speaking of words - when I sent the save to Lux - I added this on the e-mail - you never know - if they are going down for the last count - they may not want Neu D to get their gold.

"How's it going guys? Are you going to make it? If not - care to send the rest of your gold to another latin speaking civ?

Just joking - sort of.

All the best!! Wish we had galleys and could help out. .. Beta."

[Dis]

OK let me take care of the minimap thing. So we just send the entire minimap I take it. sounds simple enough.

[Dis]

mini map complete. I just cut the portions. I'm not going to center it and make it all pretty. If that looks fine, I'll go ahead and send it out.

It is attached with the forwarded save game.

OK - thanks Diss. I'm not sure what you mean when you say it is with the game save.

I will send a quick note off to Tiberius.

And BTW - after the next tech trade - Philosophy (60) for Code of Laws (100) the balance will be:

Vox to GS - 300, 350 including HB Riding. (I have asked nathan again if they want it now.)

GS to Vox - 270.

[Dis]

I forwarded the game save to everyone. I attached it with that forwarded message.

[Dis]

could you e-mail me his e-mail

[Dis]

disregard.

I sent out the 3500 one.

[Dis]

I forgot to past the communications from vondrack. But I forwarded the e-mail. He says he is too far to the east.

His mini map has been forwarded.

Please see the Survival of Lux thread. I thought it important enough to start a new one.

[Dis]

I'm not sure I agree with the one unit. But here is what I propose. We keep the spearman in their terrirtory. The warrior goes back to his watching post we agreed upon early in the game. Which is on the mountain to the southeast.

And I think that is too much gold to give them. I cannot accpet that. At most they should only get half of what they gave us. 75 gold. Even that is too much. What good is map making if their galley gets destoryed by new demo or roleplay? I still think they have little hope of getting a galley anywhere. And what do they need writing for? If they want that, they should negotiate a per turn gold deal.

150 gold was the deal for us bailing them out. I really do not want to give that up. We had a deal after all. I'll post this in the FA thread, because this is in response to the recent correspondance from Trip.

There must be another way.

I agree 115% with Dissident on the gold issue. The 150 is like a signing bonus. If theye were going to be able to survive in some other way without our help, then I was willing to act as a bank fo rtheir cash for a small fee. But now that we are the ones bailing them out, and using one of our own cities, arghh. Besides - the agreement says 150 gold.

And I still say the better approach is for Lego to contact us somehow, and then they build and gift them a city. Or, we could 'lend' them 40 gold now, say 2 per turn for the next 20 turns to aid tgeir research. But then they pay us back.

And I concur about the units.

I am moving my last post to the Lux thread. Let's keep this discussion there for the moment.
