Sorry for delay. But game is paused for 1-2 days at the right moment.
Silver city location could be decided after chariot complete move on silver.
On one hand, I don't like to ignore sea food for our city#6.
On the other, we want to connect silver to the empire asap. City#6 planted one turn faster won't help us, because we are depends on workers action. But planting city#6 withour Crab in BFC requires 7 less worker turns to connect. And it could be we prefer city#6 working improved silver at size1 for several turns anyway.
More important issue now is diplo.
I agree with you about borders agreement with India. We need another one.
I like the idea playing without NAP(s). Its pretty bold.
But is it the best way to play for our team?
While India and us investing in ancient military, other teams, like LP, will keep run farmer gambit, building almost every wonder they want and working same riverside FIN cottages you refers. Every turn LP not builing military is:
Same goes for SutOxy team. As I understand they are and LP working together closely and like each other very much.
Could we slow down India by no NAP extension? Yes, even if we risk our own safety every turn and shoud invest more time in C&D.
Who will profit most from India and our team slow downed? All the other 8 teams. Certainly not ours.
Would you like to not extend our NAP with LP as well? How many turns you think will pass before LP and Yuufo talk with each other and decide to dogpile us before knights?
And we not even asking something in return for sacrificing our own development from the other teams.
Yes, we dont have many rivers and FIN trait, but we still can invest hammers in something else beside military.
Another aspect is our ally Asterix. Would he willing to play without NAP with India after T80? His risk to be attacked by CareBears is bigger than ours, I think. Is that a good idea to sign defensive pact with him and announce it to the world?
Saying all this, I agree with your message to CareBears. It may backfire on us, but most likely just forced India to negotiate a better deal for us.
Keep them uncertain about our intensions could be a good thing.
As we decided from the start, all diplo and general strategy is up to you.
