That's assuming they check the screen. Anyone want to put money on that?

Ideally we have Rabbits research smaller techs for us. I have no problem giving them tech deals that are in their favor beaker wise.Hi Rabbits,
We'd like to help you out and noticed you lack iron working, a tech we could potentially get to you. We were wondering - what tech are you researching at the moment and what is your estimated completion date.
We recognize your temporary difficulties to maintain a competitive research rate due to your conflict with PAL, which makes coordinated research even more important.

woo hoo! My wife publishes her first book. Buy it now in paperback format at lulu and help me retire so I can write more BUG mod code.Comment

Rabbits started a conversation ingame. They are 1 turn away from Iron Working, but are interested in coordinated research.
We should decide quickly which tech route we want them to follow.

If they're going to research anything useful for us, we'll probably have to gift them techs.
Maybe they can research Horseback Riding next for us? We could cut them a really nice deal for it, something like Polytheism + Monarchy. Then we would be free to go after Construction (for defense) or Drama (to trade to PAL). I assuming that this is after making a pit stop for Mathematics, naturally. Math has to be our next research.Comment

I am just worried that their slow research rate means they won't get HBR in ages.

I don't think we can offer Polytheism as we did not research it ourselves.Hi Rabbits,
following up from our little in game chat, what would be your ETA for Horse Back Riding? We would be able to offer you Monarchy in return.
And we would waive the difference in beaker costs.

We should send this message this turn.
Comments?

I'd just send the first sentence; don't bother mentioning the beaker difference.
Only hiccough is that we've tentatively agreed with Pal to trade HBR to them ... but I guess we could go back to Drama as tech3 in that trade....Comment
-
Ah, right, PAL. The problem is that Rabbits research rate really sucks and they can only get us HBR and Math at the moment. And I don't think we want to delay math any longer.

Well, we can still use Drama as the other third of the Pal trade ... or if we go straight through to Construction, we could ammend that one in.
I think it's definitely worth asking Rabbits what their ETA on HBR would be.Comment
-
Agree, lets just find out the HBR ETA.Comment

I think it is save to assume that Rabbits are last in the GNP ranking.
That would mean 37 GNP. We have a pretty good view into their 2 city empire and can split it up into:
4 espionage
9 culture
24 gold
So that means 24 beakers if they can run 100% (which they can't sustain due to massive military spending & support.
That means HBR in ~13 turns!
We can ask them to confirm, but I believe it is not an option for us.
