Team Info and Contacts - Imperio

[ruff_hi]

I just sent the following ...

Mith,

With regards to the Non Aggression Pact (NAP). Team RB would like to extended this as follows:

Terms:
1) Imperio and Team RB enter a NAP until Turn 150.
2) The NAP can be canceled by either team at any time.
3) War between Imperio and Team RB cannot be declared until 10 turns after cancellation (or Turn 160 if NAP expires with no cancellation)

Also - we would like to execute a tech trade ... do any of the following options interest you?

'Aesthetics' for 'Mathematics'
'Aesthetics' for 'Monarchy'

We also have Monotheism that we might include to sweeten the deal.

Interestingly Imperio went into Serfdom.

& not vassalage? That's a good sign.

BTW, with their FP-heavy start they may well be aiming for Hanging Gardens, so maybe some assurance that we will not be attempting it may help sway them to agreeing to trade Maths?

[Dreylin]

Hmmm, I guess there's been no reply for what, 3days? Is it time to send them another note about Mathematics? I really think it may help if we stated that we will not be pursuing Hanging Gardens....

[mostly-harmless]

Why would we not pursue Hanging Gardens?
Once we finally break the happy limit a empire wide pop increase is quite good, especially for a vast empire like ours.
And we will have stone available once we have Saxon.

Do we know if Imperio has stone? If so, do we know from the C&D if they're working on anything with a doubler that could be the HG?

[mostly-harmless]

Yes, I believe Imperio has stone connected east of Lakamha.
And no, it does not look like they are doing anything with a doubler at the moement. They are certainly chopping something at Chichen Itza, but that could just be that they are paranoid towards us, clearing the killing grounds.

And don't forget, an aqueduct is needed for the Hanging Gardens. We have not seen one yet.

Imperio does have stone. They have no aqeducts anywhere, however, and they certainly aren't building any wonders right now. Not unless it's in city #5 (Mayapan), which is the only one where we don't have line of sight. And that city was founded 8 turns ago and is still size 1.

I like the idea of going for Hanging Gardens in the near-term future. With stone, we have an excellent shot to get it. Best place would likely be Pink Dot, which has great shield production and tons of forests just waiting to be chopped. If any civ could use the +1 pop boost, it would be ours!

[mostly-harmless]

I talked to IMperio ingame. They are discussing NAP and tech trade.

[mostly-harmless]

I think it is time for a follow up message along the lines of:
1.) What about NAP? We don't want to engage in an arms race.
2.) Trade Aesthetics vs. Mathematics (offer valid for 5 turns)

[mostly-harmless]

Doh. Double post.
