(First-time poster, First time civ-anything but really hooked)
Reading through the threads there's a ton of great stuff out there. Great for me because I get more time to read the forum (at Work
) than I get to play (three kids incl. 6 month old twins).
What I haven't seen addressed much is the diplomatic screen (aside from Declare war or trade a gazillion techs and 4 cities for peace.). Especially in regards to the early game.
My current game Greece and Egypt are on my continent and I've built the GLighthouse. I found France on its own continent and China and Japan on another but I have'nt made contact w/them. No one else can get to each other YET without suicide galley runs. I'm guessing there are a few ways to cash-in on this, mostly by info selling. My problem is what to sell and what NOT to sell.
I am curious what the Gurus thoughts are when it comes to First Contact. Both in a builder/peace-lover
mentality and in a warmonger
style. I'm sure there are a lot of fine nuances to diplomacy that I'm missing out on. (And hoping this becomes the Thread to document them. Let me know if this is started somewhere else already.)
Also since I know where China and Japan are what are the reasons for delaying contact versus rushing in with a bargaining table strapped on?
Any help is much appreciated.
