The Flight of the Pheonix

oh - ok

that will then mean I willl need to sue for peace with Japan

thank you for the advance notice

[marcuspeddle]

If you start building cavalry before I cancel the deal I think you can complete production even if you lose horses. I did that with one knight. Start building cavalry in as many cities as you can and I don't think you'll have to worry about the Japanese. They are still stuck with building archers.

[Paddy]

indeed

it is all good

I have built a great many knights thanks to your trading horses with my people

thank you

anyway I have settled peace with Japan

[marcuspeddle]

to you

[Paddy]

no no to you

[marcuspeddle]

I completed the Forbidden Palace and jumped from 33 gpt to 120 gpt! I immediately had all my cutlery coated in gold.

This has allowed me to boost science. Banking will be available in 3 turns. By the way, are you researching anything over your way? Seems like a long time since I got a tech from you. Has the war been eating up all your money and resources?

sorry that I have been a drain on you and your people

No worries, no drain. Just remember my generosity when the Greek/Arab/Byzantine/Etc hordes come stomping into my lands.

we may have to battle a few civs abit into submission

[marcuspeddle]

We don't have to fight. Turn up your science slider.

Say, why is there a very large empty space to the east of your nation? I'm surprised neither you nor the Japanese settled it. Or did the fighting start before you could get to it?
