iirc the capital always produces at least 4 units, so this is wierd.

if the turn doesn't come soon, i'm off to bed. but jshelr seems to be without game CD (:cough: patch :cough, so i guess tonights round wouldn't continue anyhow

[jshelr]

i have the cd for this game. it's the cd for ptw that i stupidly forgot.

[sabrewolf]

A border dispute has arisen between the honorable Dutch and the Maya. It concerns the placement of the iron city Harlem, which is within the Mayan sphere of influence, but settled by the Dutch after diplomatic agreement from the Maya.

The Dutch settled further up the pennisula than the Maya agreed to allow.

Further, Mayan attempts to negotiate a 20-turn peace have not met with success. So, the iron-for-peace aspect of the deal that appealed to our lazy military leaders no longer looks important.

Still, we regard the dispute as a minor matter and hope it won't grow into a major war.

If the Dutch will give the town to the Maya, the Maya will allow the iron flow to continue for a modest price.

when i go to aruba, i end up at a casino, trying to count cards. then a refugee from the Russian mafia always sits next to me and begins to bet stacks of 10 $25 chips, forcing me to take another drink......

yet another misunderstanding... and it took you nearly 20 turns to notice this??? did you have to wait until i rushed the harbour??????????

and about the rolling 20-turn peace treaty: i thought we had agreed on that a long time ago!

anyway, netherlands will give in to this bullying trusting that the mayan will keep their promise: iron for a modest price. this of course means, that iron gets traded and isn't just cancelled because of war


at this point i'd also like to publicly express my disapproval of the misleadings and misinformation being done in this game. i have been left out of the loop several times in tech trades and agreements have "conveniently" been misunderstood. though (so far) no promises have been broken, i still think it a very dirty style of playing

games like these make me dislike multiplaying for it's not the civ3-skills that count anymore but just literary and convincing things.

that's got me scared. the only other person you're likely to start a war with is me!!

Jshelr, unless you want to see the Dutch running rampant all over our continent, don't agree to supply them iron in the outbreak of war!

There has not been any dirty play. In fact you have so far broken 2 deals with me in this game Mr Sabrewolf, and you don't hear me moaning, so lets have a bit less throwing of the rattle!

510bc and the city of haarlem to the bully


and a correction: i did NOT brake a deal, andy! i delayed monarchy for a clarification. it could have been just 1 or 2 turns, but i didn't get any clear answer.

and misleading and misinformation IS dirty play. of course you woundn't think so, because you used it in ironciver ("oh, i'm just scouting the area, just ignore my scout" and then pillaging the iron)

[jshelr]

We all need a copy of Kant's Nichomachean ethics

(all spelling should be considered likely wrong until I get back to my dictionary)

IMO, the behavior regarding Monarchy was very off putting and the Dutch did build their iron town further up the pennisula than the Maya had agreed.

The delay of Monarchy created a need for the rest of us to go into anarchy late, while the Dutch were able to attack while in Monarchy. Very worrying.

Anyway, the harbor did not survive the gift of the iron city to the Maya It will take a while to connect the iron to the trade network. As soon as that has taken place, iron will be offered on the terms discussed.

Amused is the right word.
Feeling left out is another way to put it.
