Team Info and Contacts - Templars

[Zeviz]

Good message.

Is it possible to rewrite second paragraph to be more in character?

Something like "When passing by Jerusalem, Tracy heard sounds of distant prayer and saw signs of magnificent ceremonies. Our people were so impressed by her stories, that they would gladly hear more from your wise men, if they wish to visit our cities."

I also favor the line about being on a peninsula with no other civs contacted.

Do we want to send a screenshot with this eMail to show them the horses?
I think it is a nice idea.
We can make it a bit in a style of an ancient map.

Otherwise, I agree with the draft.

I think a screenshot may show too much information about how we've scouted. They could purposely reveal the tiles we haven't revealed to find more huts.

[mostly-harmless]

Yep, right. I meant like a local screenshot showing their surroundings with the horses and then an arrow pointing north west annotated "Realms Beyond up there".

[sooooo]

Yes, that's what I thought you meant. But still a local map of their surroundings will show where we haven't scouted yet.

updated draft ... I plan to send it later this evening (about 6 hrs time)


Sir Aidun,

Our scout, Tracy, would like to thank your brave Quecha for his actions regarding the lion by offering the following local knowledge: "There are some large four legged animals to your city's North East. They look particularly fast and might make good steeds in the future."

When passing by Jerusalem, Tracy heard sounds of prayer and signs of some type of ceremonies. She was impressed and included this information in her reports back to our people. We, too, are impressed and would like to hear more from you about these occurrences.

I'll let you know 'yellow civ' details when we find them.

Ruff
Your Voice to the Realms Beyond Team

I'll place my rubber stamp on that draft .

Sound great, Ruff!

[Zeviz]

This draft looks good.

[mostly-harmless]

Reply looks good.

Since we're in a quiet period right now between turns, I'll ask the obvious question: did the Templars ever respond to our last message? And if not, maybe we should remind them to check their email again...

[mostly-harmless]

No they have not replied, yet. That is around 80 years (three days) since our messenger set out. I will leave the reminding to Ruff.

no reply as of this afternoon - who did we 'bump' last time?

Aidun is their ambassador. (And probably one of the most active players on the team.)

Since it took us several days to formulate our reply, despite not running any formal votes, we shouldn't expect a response in less than a week. Can you imagine how long our reply would have taken if we required a vote by every team member on each draft? So I wouldn't push them unless they are taking over a week.
