Templars: Diplomacy Thread #2

[Kodii]

I would defy. If by chance the motion doesn't go through anyways, we won't suffer the unhappiness.

Let's stop the war: by taking out Templars

[T-hawk]

Stop the War with Templars? Sounds fine to me in fact. We have nothing left to gain from Templars - we negotiated to leave the rest of the cities for Imperio. That would be a fine excuse for not attacking Jerusalem.

Plus, then we can attack Imperio (diplo talk to be sorted out later) while keeping trade routes via Templar territory.

Hmm that's true. If it comes up, there's no reason to continue warring with Templars, right?

[sooooo]

There are a few reasons. Firstly we wouldn't be able to put down 2 settlers on the same turn as Jerusalem falls. Secondly we lose our control over when Imperio attack templars. I think it's quite powerful being able to delay capturing Jerusalem to delay Imperio getting involved. I was hoping to delay the capture enough to let banana capture Acre.

But whether those advantages outweigh the loss of units while capturing the city I am not sure.

If the vote comes up, it does not matter what PAL does. The vote requires 48 in favour currently. Templars have 50 votes by itself.

I say defy.

Email from templars

Team Relams Beyond


I guess with Imperio having agreed peace with Realms Beyond then we offer peace as well.

Yours Hercules

Hahahaha.

Will have more coherent thoughts later.

Do you think they actually believe that we will accept a vanilla peace at this point!?!?!?!?

[mostly-harmless]

"Guess again."

"We accept your fair peace offer and the gifting of Constantinople, Damascus and Acre."

"Better start to learn Spanish."

"We guess that after we have peace with Imperio, we can now show you what our real army looks like."

Come on. This is fun.

How about:

"Bzzzzt. Aw sorry that was the wrong answer, looks like you chose poorly."

or maybe:

That's good, we were just about to gift you the cities you wanted ... oh no wait I have that backwards; we are just about to take those cities we wanted....

Either we don't acknowledge the email or we say that we only recognize communication from Aidun as Templar's chief diplomat.

"We would like to talk to some Templar with a better grasp of reality please."

Just be careful not to accidently accept any peace proposal they offer

[regoarrarr]

My vote is we just ignore it
