Correspondance thread - Realms Beyond

I've sent this to Realms Beyond.

It seems this was the last mail received.

To give an update: PAL appearantly traded extensively with at least Imperio, and so gave them the ability to field Maceman on top of catapults. I suppose I don't need to draw out there's nothing Caerbannog can put against those kind of units. In short, without either the ability to train landsknechts or crossbows (or perhaps longbows) our civ is history in 20 turns max.
Any chance you can help us get one of those types of units? And what would be the price (speaken in long term then)?

Cheers,
Team Caerbannog

Good effort Geo, hope we get a useful response !

This came in from Realms Beyond:

Hi Rabbits,

Templars hold the key to Crossbows as they are the civ who researched Metalcasting, so there's no chance of you getting Machinery from Banana.

Imperio is the only civ with Feudalism, so you'd have to ask them to trade it to you.

It doesn't look good for you, I'm afraid.

Cheers,

So whatever we do, our civ is finished.

Well, you did manage to snatch us back from the jaws of death once, it's something And there's a lesson in this disaster for all of us I think, I'm an even more convinced builder now...

This came in from R&B.

Hi Rabbits,
can we agree to stop spending espionage points at each other?
We suggest you invest one more ept to see our demographics (current cost 42 - you have 41, we have 43) and we refrain from raising the cost by spending ept against you. This way we are both happy and can spend our espionage points against more "pressing" civs.
What do you say?

My thought is to follow their request. We're better of spending our EP's on other civs too.

I agree also.

RB,
My apologies for the delay in answering, the hutch is undergoing a bit of a reshuffle at the moment. We agree with your reasoning and will action it it the immediate future.

It's not a question of Builder vs Warmonger, really.

What we did is sit on the fence and do NEITHER for far too long, resulting in a half-assed job of doing both. Need to have a direction from turn 1. That's the lesson we should take form this.

From RB:

Hi Rabbits,

Would you be interested in buying either Monarchy or Aesthetics from us for 50g? We look forward to your reply.

Best Regards,

Team RB

I'd say its not a bad deal, although quite a bit too late.

That and the fact that bad intel kills good people...
