I did a WB test and the canal cannot stretch to 3 tiles. Edited the draft.

Hmm, thinking about it, banking could be really useful for us because of mercantilism. If we've got no trade routes but have a lot of cities, mercantilism should be amazing!
Any opposition to the draft?Comment

No opposition.

It's fine by me, apart from one small correction 'we have a rather fine Burgundy'.Comment

How far into the deal are we at the moment; are we actually past the 10yr minimum for cancellation? If so, we should come up with an "earliest date" we can afford to return this to him. Yes we need it for Knights for the Jericho raid, but he really needs to be building Knights himself right now....Unfortunately the game will only let us do it in 10-turn stints, since that is the minimum allowed period for a resource trade.Comment

I thought you could just reverse the trade ...
A trades Iron to B
B trades Iron to A
... so that A gets his Iron back. Neither of these trades are cancellable within the 10 turns, but the upshot is A has Iron.Quote: "All Happiness is the release of internal pressure"

PAL is going to be building Curaisars when they use Liberalism to take MilTrad. Knights will get shredded.Originally posted by Dreylin View Post
Not that he has a lot better to build, but WE can use knights

I think PAL might want banking because it allows liberalism to hit economics for the free great merchant. Ah well. Rather they do that than slingshot astronomy and trade it to Imperio.Comment

Rabbits also have iron. Might be worth try.Comment

Economics is a pretty cheap tech to waste Liberalism on. Who else has Education?

I'll be surprised if PAL doesn't take MilTrad, and shocked if they don't take MilTrad or Astro.
Think of how powerful Curaissars would be on our continent....and then imagine them versus the marginalized Rabbits and militarily-weak Banana squads.Comment

Hey sunrise, slightly off topic but are the Byzantines an MP favorite?
DarrellComment

@Darrell - Keep in mind we play with unrestricted on...
Byzantines are amazing, but they're so amazing that they're generally banned in Medi and Ren. Likewise England and Russia are generally banned in Industrial.
