Ah. Now you mention it, I seem to have forgotten to send the email Will do so right now.

[Swiss Pauli]

Email sent. Apologies for the blooper.

[Zeviz]

Hello,
We see you have researched Writing. Would you agree to an Open Border agreement to strengthen our relationship and allow for more trade route income? It will also allow your Tarzan warrior to return home sooner.
Best Regards
Swiss Pauli

[sooooo]

We now have open borders with Imperio. 3 of our cities (all excpet Cape Town) have Imperio trade routes and are getting 2 commerce compared to the 1 commerce from the internal trade route.

[Sullla]

Excellent!

Leaving aside the economic benefits, our galley is due in 4 turns, and Sharon will be ready to board it for a little trip overseas. (If we're feeling real safe, we can send our extra warrior at Cape Town along for the ride too.)

[mostly-harmless]

Very good. (Out of interest: it seems we did not have to be logged in at the same time to agree to OB? Is that correct? How did it work?)

Imperio did not even get any benefit from it at all, I believe. They already have OB with Templars, so their three cities should have been linked to Templars three cities to gain more commerce. OB with us only helps them further economically if they settle new cities soon.

I proposed a Grand Tour in the Turnplayer thread for our Scout instead of boarding the galley at the Cape.

Should we start negotiating tech trades with them?

Yes, the are a leader in GNP, but it's better to trade with everybody than with nobody, and we are going nowhere with Templars.

[mostly-harmless]

Lets wait for the Alphabet trade and then confirm our C&D tech assumptions. Then we will know for sure what we can and can't do.

Proposed message:

Hi,

Do you want to buy Sailing and Archery for Mysticism and Masonry? (All the techs we can trade right now, and cost is even.)

Zeviz,
Realms Beyond

PS How much do we have invested in masonry already?

[regoarrarr]

Looks like maybe 10-20 beakers?

[Sullla]

We've invested a total of 7 beakers into Masonry. Not worth worrying about one bit. Let's go ahead and suggest that deal, rather than trying to explain the complications of a Mysticism/Meditation deal (which involves waiting a turn for in-game mechanics) to a team of non-native English speakers.

Can we get a quick translation of Zeviz's message to Spanish? Even Babelfish could probably handle that one.

[Swiss Pauli]

I thought it was Medi and Masonry that was the even deal, not Myst & Masonry?

If I'm right then we should ask for gift of gold for X turns, or a gifted missionary to event he deal.

[mostly-harmless]

We have to get Myst first before we can get Meditation.
The current deal leaves us with ~40beakers short. However I rather sacrifice that to get the deal done at all.
We can maybe try to get those beaker back in a later trade.
For ow I would fire off that deal quickly.

[mostly-harmless]

Since Imperio are not known for be very talkative, maybe we can offer them the Medi&Mono vs. Sail&Arch trade ingame as well. Ideally this turn before (if) they log in. 16hrs to go.
Thoughts?

[Zeviz]

EDIT: Never mind just saw post in turnplayer thread. Should we just make an in-game offer of Meditation+Masonry for Sailing+Archery and/or send the message now, without waiting for translation? (Even their English should be enough for this.)
