103 sent. Lots of PW is rarely a bad thing.

My own industrial effort is 95% focused on Naval buildup, to protect the extended shorelines of my far-flung empire.

106 sent. May your righteous crusaders go forth into the lands of the infidel interlopers and smash them into tiny bits!

It looks like we have a pair of cities that are rather close to each other, on the peninsula to the north of my main island. I hope that there will be minimal friction between our pioneers. Toward this peacable goal, I claim only the mountain square that is directly adjacent to my town. I cede all other mountain squares in that range to my erstwhile Roman rival. (For the sake of clarity only, I have marked my mountain claim with a Phalanx. Please do not mistake this as a provocation, however pathetic it would seem!)

Your cities werent there originally?

Thats why I removed my cities from your land earlier
that is my mainland

as long as you cities dont overlap mine

you can remove the phalanx as soon as feasible so I may be able to work the tiles

Lots of land out here

thats why I moved my two cities so as to not impede ..to not slow your progress down

But to clarfiy

you did build them after mine were in place, correct?

Back at ya

107 sent. Yes, apparently I did build my city Philippi(size 2) after you built Neapolis1(size 3). It was unintentional; my Listening Post did not come on line until the turn after the city was built. So I didn't know your city was there beforehand. I was hoping that we could turn the situation into an example of cooperation between our camps. I asked only for a single square of the mountain range, leaving you several mountain squares. I also sent a tech gift as payment, if you like. However, if it will cause a great strain in our relations, I will uproot the settlement and move it a few squares to the east. I was hoping it wouldn't come to that. You can decide. I can say that I won't be feeling "indebted" to you anymore, if you do force me to move the city. Like you said, there's plenty of room for everybody.

108 sent. Thanks for letting me keep Philippi. I promise not to militarize it, and you have free passage any time you need it.

[Grandpa Troll]

In the spirit of mutual trust and understanding
and my need to deal with neighbors of negative consequences brought forth by their actions

How and at what price can we deal for Fascism

I stand ready to barter

[johnzim]

109 sent. Send me a gift of 5000 Gold and I'll send you Fascism.

[OrientalShopkeeper]Cheap-cheap just for you![/OrientalShopkeeper]

110 sent. Fascism is YOURS! I wouldn't normally sell on credit, but since it's you.....

I'll expect the balance in 5 to 10 turns. I'm getting too soft, I think.
