Did chat with Yuufo a bit more.
We were talking about football (americans call it 'soccer') and politics mostly.
Nice guy, very intelligent, lets crush him.
Some more diplo.

Quote:Hi, I am on the go right now, so just very quick info: Yuufo settled city #3 on my doorstep and apparently thinks naming it "Friend" makes up for it.
I am convinced LP is definitely the biggest threat in this game, but short term Yuufo is out biggest problem - he still has as many cities as we both combined and he can completely stiffle our expansion. In his emails with us he was even more sincere, he said he would never accept a land deal, since it does not make sense for an IMP civ.
Of course, I keep our exchanges confidential, both from Care Bears and other civs - and anyways I am mostly in contact with you anyway.
As much as I hate it, I think you may be right, that 2 vs 1 relatively early war may be the only answer to India problem. Much more reasonable time for it would be for me turns 120-130, although I would have to give it some thought, so far I was hoping for peaceful expansion.
I do not believe Yuufo would be a threat comparable to LP in late game - LP is considered one of world best civ players, I think. But the problem is that we are Yuufo's neighbors and he can criple our expansion badly.
I will not break the NAP with India, although will also not extend it without consulting with you. I definitely view you as the most desirable ally for the whole duration of this game, I hope you share this view.
The interesting thing is that Oxy/suttree opened borders with you - they refused us saying that their agreement with LP prevents them from opening borders with other teams ...
Yours friend Asterix

Thank you for new information and screenshot.
About India. Turn 120-130 DoW could be not good enough. Will you have your UU by then? I doubt it. We probably can have our UU by 120 but I doubt it either.
With all India's expansion and grab all riverside tile, I'm certanly not sure about our tech timing anymore.
India's expansion is (fucking) crazy. We had to decide something about it.
They told us, that their city#6 location was around 6(SIX!) tiles from our capital. And thats after we played friendly with them, even spend EP on you instead India. BTW, we were 2-3 turns away from seeing ur tech research, and we dont want to spent any more EP on you anyway.
With EP, it was mine (TKGB) mistake: we had some sort of talking with India about EP spending. And I thought we could get more from them via diplo if our team stick to that semi-deal. I was wrong. Sorry for spending all that EP on you. If you like to get our graphs, well provide.
Back to our decision about India, as I said, both our teams should be in or out.
There is no glory to deal with India and leave the other team fighting. It'll backfire on the team who avoid confrontation with India, I'm sure.
We are not willing to extend our NAP with them.
We are not willing to OB with them if you agree close borders with them right before India could profit from it. If they are OB with you and us, they'll get much needed commerce to get them out of the hole. SutOxy for you and LP for me seems like a better partners now.
