Do we have an agreement on that?

If so we should find it and remind them or ask if it still stands.

Or ignore it................

I think if we look at the power graph we see that AC leads us. AC remains friendly I say we should do the same.

Platy, do you have a link to this agreement? I honestly do not remember it.

That's not hard when we only have three warriors........

So far as I know they proposed that west river to be the frontier to

found cities, but that was not agreed.

Anyway, current city is in our bank of river.

Best regards,

I think the idea of this agreement should be discussed with them, as we don't want to ruffle any feathers, especially someone who has been such a close ally.

Also, in terms of Vox and GS, I think we should discuss this issue with AC and attempt to intervene. Having one strong and united continent would go a long way towards a prosperous future. If one of them don't wish to be a part of that union/unity then maybe they don't wish to be a part of this continent/game any more either. In all reality, and for the purposes of our future and AC's I think this is how we should lay it out. And follow it up with backing whoever makes the first strides at peace.

As for our own war making... incapabilities, it does need to be addressed otherwise we won't be able to back our words. I do agree that axemen are more versitile, but also static if they are our only focus. I like the idea of having 2 archers and one axeman in each city and a stack or two for mobile warfare.

Before we go to AC suggesting that we force peace or crush the unpeaceful, I think we need to back them with a plan of how to do so. Also it would be helpful to have some updated maps to look at so we can divide and conqure if that's what it comes down to. I would suggest that we start using the capital (with an already established culture) to start churning units, and continue cultural and production growth in our other cities.

I agree. We can't hint at trying to enforce peace with our current military. I think the Swiss Gaurd could whip us at this point. But the discussion should be started.

We need axes or swords and archers or at least more men with large sticks and banana peels to slow advancing troops with.

Now we are talking!

How long before we can be taken seriously as even a minor force in this world?

[Nugog]

We will need decent defence - probably around two archers and one axe per city - plus an attack force - size of that is debatable - as we know little of what we face - or where they are.

A scouting mission may well be called for.

[Daddy-O]

How many turns will that take us?

I am always in favor of scouting out the world but I think we need to defend the homeland first.

I'll run the numbers tonight - or get Fed too - he is much more precise than I am.
