[PJayTycy]

Banana just sent the turn to GS. No answer on our diplomacy message yet... I see fed1943 is online now, so I've sent him a new pm, asking if they received our message about open borders.

[PJayTycy]

response from fed :

Hello fed,

Thanks,

PJay

Message proposal:

--------------------------------
Greetings our friends!


We're very happy to see you agreeing to our ideals of trading and openness to each other. We hope our cooperation will only increase in future.

We'd like to inform you that our exploration team down south in tundra has died in a barbarian ambush, therefore we are sending another scout south to continue mapping the continent. That, of course wouldn't be possible, without the open borders agreement and we're thankful for your understanding.


Your friends @AC

Hail friends!

It has been a long time since we last spoke. Many changes are afoot at Team Banana and the world around us. The Addled Platypus sends his regards and wishes he could dine with you. Unfortunately he is tied up at the moment with more pressing matters.

Team Banana is of course pleased with our longstanding friendship. We welcome the openess of our borders and hope that trade of technology, resources, and maps can accelerate between of nations. Do you have any maps to offer us?

Recently, our wise men have looked out at the vast waters. They believe that other lands must be out there. They also believe that the Great Banana must have put those waters there for a reason. Is it to protect us from those that might inhabit lands across the seas? Are there lands across the seas? Are there only the four nations of Alpha Centuri, Gathering Storm, Vox, and The Team Banana? There must be others. If there are others they must know that these lands were gifted to us by The Great Banana and the Mighty Yang. We should look to keep our world secure. Any ideas on this matter are welcome.

We could send them a fog-off map of our part of the continent up to the river to West.
What was the last map like btw?

Something along these lines maybe:
"We have recently discovered the technology of Sailing as you already know and are planning to build some boats for exploration. We think that there must certainly be more lands and nations on the other side of the sea. The presence of multiple islands actually hints at the possibility that those lands are much less distant than one would think."

[N35t0r]

We could send them our full map, fogged out, marking where our scout died and the 'planned' route of the other scout.

Also, mark the islands and tell them we're building galleys to explore them, and ask them if there are islands on their shore.

[binTravkin]

To send the full map we'd need to do some editing as the road east of the river would need to be deleted.

[PJayTycy]

They are certainly looking for some kind of defensive pact against horde/merc/sarantium. I'd say we act as if we didn't get that message and just reply about sailing. The problem is, we can't really offer it for trade. Either we tell them we can trade it if they have some usefull tech in the next 6 turns or we act as if we will trade and then break the deal. None are good options IMHO.

[binTravkin]

Wait, why can't we offer it?
They ain't getting any good of it anyways.

[PJayTycy]

What will you tell them ? This offer is only valid for 6 turns, because then we will attack ?
