Sarantium Embassy

[binTravkin]

Kinda strange of them sending the answer after the actual trade took place.

answer from sarantium

Dear friends of Alpha Centaury,

Everything is OK about the trade. I will ask our team leader and Turn player Beta to offer HBR and 120 gold in game. Should he fail to do so, please make your offer and we shall complete the trade.

Many thanks for your kindness. You have conquered all hearts of the Sarantine people. Your name is being sung in the streets and songs have been made in honor of you. Streets have been named after you and some newly erected buildings bear your name. Your embassy is the the most magnificent in all Sarantium. Artists and sculpturers have made paintings and sculptures that show the glorious arrival of your ship, the meeting of your sailors with local Sarantine people and the moment that your ambassador meets his Imperial Majesty, emperror Beta. For those of you who reside in our capital Sarantium, a temple of The One Yang is being built.

Best,

Aidun
Official representative of Sarantium

well, i never heard a horse saying that ...

[binTravkin]

That's a poor analogy Safan - horses are actually quite smart

[-SafaN-]

we made clear we will initiate the trade ... we can't help they are stupid as horses

[PJayTycy]

OK, in that case we have to answer Sarantium about that fact, or they will keep proposing the trade every turn.

[binTravkin]

Humm, it would be best if we wait a bit.
It wouldn't be good to alert GS about knights.

[PJayTycy]

And now the official response:

Dear Centaurians,

A quick brief note: We welcome the trade deal you have proposed and we agree to the trade agreement.

Best,

Aidun, official representative of Sarantium

So, will we accept their trade next turn? I think we should if they offer it again.

[PJayTycy]

Already got a response :

My apologies. Aidun was supposed to respond to you. We were Ok with your terms. Will get a response to you later today.

message proposal to accompany our turn to Sarantium:

Dear friends of Sarantium!

We are glad to see you are still very interested in our trade. However, we didn't receive an answer to our latest message yet (sent with previous turn), so we had to decline again.

Please tell us what you think of our last message and if it is enough for you to sign our tech trade treaty.

Sounds good.

Message proposal:

Dear friends of Sarantium,


We will gladly tell you a lot about The One Yang, but not now. This message is just a quick question for clarification. In your last message, you asked us for an exception of the 3T.

We would therefore accept your 3T agreement for all our trade relations with any other team in the game, except with the Horde

On our team we all find this information a little unclear, but we assume you want an exception to point 2 of our treaty. Is it correct you want to trade our techs to The Horde freely ?

If so, notice the last part of the second point mentions "without prior agreement of the researching nation". This means we are open to discuss these things. We can grant you the right to retrade techs on a case-by-case basis (ie: a certain tech to a certain team). However, we will never grant a carte-blanche exception to retrade all techs to a certain team. We hope you can understand this.

As a sign of goodwill, we are willing to give you Compass + the right to retrade it to The Horde in exchange for Horseback Riding + 120 gold.

This should not become common behaviour though, because we think it creates more diplomatic difficulties than it is worth.

Greetings,

Team Alpha Centauri
For The Glory Of The One Yang

Yeah they want to share Compass with Horde.
Since Compass is such a useless tech and I don't think Horde will have anything to offer us but this same HBR, I guess we can trade this first one on such basis.
