Please see the AC Diplo thread for the various versions of the ABCS Tech Trade Agreement.

I need your input so that we can finalize something in the next few days. Come on guys, I know you have opinions...

I,as one, don't care much if a tech trade is somewhat unbalanced

against us, because the game is not a duel, so trade is always good.

So,if possible, I say trade now.

To get now huntery, archery,masonry and/or iron, would be a great

help.

Best regards,

We need to proceed carefully, but if this trade agreement works out, then yes, trade, trade, trade!

[fruitmonkey]

as we are facing more than one team in this game every trade puts us in a better position than before. we should however be careful that none of our competitors become too powerful. so in regard to ABCS i say that the deal proposed sounds fair to me and will help us a great deal. we should now concentrate on military buildup. can anyone post a screenshot of the current military graph or demographics?

[Daddy-O]

I would like to see us do the research for Ironworking. I believe that AC is negotiating in good faith but I'd hate to be wrong and have Team Banana steered towards Writing while AC gets the tech to build swords and breaks the deal. With that said, I don't think that would be a deal breaker for me. I support the ABCS.

As you know, I do not have cIV (I Play civIII) so please answer this for me. Do we have the ability in game to trade techs and gold yet?

WiseA$$,
I'd like your input on this before I negotiate a final deal since this was your bold plan and any changes to it should include your opinion.

No; unless the Mode changed it, alphabet is needed to exchange

techs in game.

Best regards,

[Daddy-O]

So, if the ABCS is to be agreed on we really need alphabet for it to make any sense. Point noted.

CULTURE


DEMOGRAPHICS


POWER

[Daddy-O]

I see that we lead GS and AC in culture but that we lack any power to defend it. We cannot be steered away from Iron Working.

[Addled Platypus]

we still wana build the barracks in Splitsville ?

[Daddy-O]

How does that affect the ABCS?

Concerning barracks, after looking at the power graph I feel that we NEED to do anything we can to strengthen Banana Nation. If barracks help then yes yes yes.

Concerning ABCS, I want to contact AC but I need some guidance. I would like to see us do the research for Ironworking. I believe that AC is negotiating in good faith but I'd hate to be wrong and have Team Banana steered towards Writing while AC gets the tech to build swords and breaks the deal. I am of the feeling that if we can study Iron Working, even if we get short changed in gold our tech units, we come out on top. We cannot risk a double cross at this point in the game.

I can also bring up the road deal again as a seperate issue.

[fruitmonkey]

we lack crop yield as well as GNP! not good.

great thought Daddy-O, nothing like dealing with strength behind you

Will do a poll shortly

With only one worker, it will be a fun time getting that stat up
