RB Wrote:Greetings from Team RB!
We see your Quechua has wandered up to our borders - really glad to meet you guys. To start, we thought you should know we do have a very active German player on our team, so if you would prefer us to translate our messages into German then he may be able to help out.
You are the second team we have met. We also met CFC to our southeast. We have been told that WePlayCiv is to our northeast, but we have not met them yet. If you would like directions on where to send your Quechua to meet the others, let me know and I will send that to you. Where are you guys in relation to your Quechua?
Hope the game has gone well for you so far.
Thanks,

German Team Wrote:Hi RBs,
sorry for the delay.
We are located to the north of you. We would like to establish trading
routes between our countries. Do you already have a harbour city
ashore the eastern sea?
We also could use the river near our Quechua Hoffmann Helm.
In addition, we would be happy to sign a non-aggression treaty
effective until turn 150.
We could arrange our research such that both nation profit most from
the shadow bonus; Schattenforschungsbonus in german, how is it called
in the english community?
It's true, WPC is located to the east of us. And Apolyton came to our
country from the west.
greetings

Thank you so much for writing back to us. I talked with my team, and we accept your offer of a NAP until T150. I don't see any reason why we need to fight each other, we should have peace. I also think getting trade routes through the river would be a great idea. Would you like to include a "no scouting" rule for open borders so that we get trade routes but avoid going in each other's land? We will be flexible with you and go with whatever you would like on that.
We aren't sure what you mean by "eastern sea"... We do have one immediately to our west, if that's the one you are talking about? To our east we have not seen any water yet, but we haven't scouted very far in that direction either. Where is this sea compared to your Quechua? The "Schattenforschungsbonus" is called "known tech bonus" in most of the English-speaking forums. I talked to the team, but I think they are not sure if it's useful enough. There's a lot of teams playing here, and the bonus is divided by the number of teams in the game... So the bonus is very, very small. I think both of our teams will get a lot more value from trade routes with each other, so let's get those.
Finally, we thank you for telling us where Apolyton is located! We have also met team CFC, and they are to our southeast. They found us, so we have not actually seen their land - they have scouted very far and have met more teams than us.
Thank you!
