Is it worth asking banana not to end their current turn? It will tell us for sure when the timer will tick over.

Yes, I think.

[sooooo]

I have sent the following email:

Hi Donovan,

On an unrelated point ... we have a favour to ask: We would like you to not press enter to end your turn this turn. We have a hunch that Imperio will declare war on us next turn, so we would like to know for sure when the timer will tick over. This is for a couple of strategic reasons, but also to make sure that Imperio don't double move on us, since they are always last to end their turn, if they do it at all. Of course we could be being paranoid, but don't be suprised if you hear the sounds of Mayan war horns next turn.

Thanks,

Realms Beyond.

Consider it done. And best of luck to you.

I am not sure what, if anything, we could do to help at this point but please keep us posted on what's happening.

Wow, it's really nice to work with them - feels good to have an actual ally in this game!

Thanks Banana, it feels good to have trustworthy ally in this game.

As for what you could do to aid us in the upcoming war:
1. You could cancel the Clam - Corn deal with Imperio. Team RB would be happy to supply you with a health resource to compensate you.
2. You could close borders to hurt Imperio GNP wise. With your (soon to be) 6 cities you should be fine w.r.t. intercontinental trade routes with TeamRB and Templars

Thanks
TeamRB

These are the things they could do for us, not sure though its worth asking for it.

Hi,

question is, do we want to make our informal "alliance" with Banana public? By canceling the deal and closing borders, Banana would openly side with us. While they've more or less done so anyway, I don't think it's wise to make it "official" for such a small gain.

I agree with Kylearan. I expect this war to go on for a long, long time. It would be best to declare their alliance with us with a galleon full of troops landing unexpectedly on Mayan backlines.

[mostly-harmless]

Fair enough.
I just wanted to point out what Banana could do if we feel assistance is needed.

I don't see Banana helping us out with troops, though. Their NAP with PAL expires around T160 iirc.

I also don't want to make our alliance public for so little gain. So I'd send just Mh's first line. (It's always good to say "thank you" )

[Sullla]

Yes, please do send them a thank you. Banana is the only team in this game that has showed any interest with working together with us - we owe them that much at the very least.

[Kylearan]

Absolutely send them a thank you!

Thanks Banana, it feels good to have a trustworthy ally in this game.

Err....I drafted an entire email asking Banana to sell us gold and then forgot that we want them to run max science and trade us Feudalism

[ruff_hi]

what is Banana's ETA on feudalism - does anyone know?
