[SPOILERS] Team EggHeads: DMOC and TeddyKGB (Now Lurker-Friendly!)

[DMOC]

Turn 141 - 620 AD

To start out the turn, we got a substantial number of diplomatic messages. I've put all the stuff in spoilers and you can skip if needed.

Dinosaurs:

We happy or not it doesn't matter. Rome has moved hi SOd . He is going to get our cities ,soon..we couldn't stop him whithout your help.
Will you attack Rome... Have you macemans.You will be next and You will have very strong neighbour having more cities .

DT

and

I ask you ..if you have any macemans for sell....HOw many and if you interested to sell to us?

DT

Raptorous

I sent a response:

Dinosaurs,

Unfortunately, we do not have any macemen at all, and we actually deleted our army after making peace with Rome to save on maintenance costs.

Sincerely,
DMOC

And now from Aivoturoso:

Hi DMOC,

As you probably noticed, Yossarian and Caledorn decided to declare war on us. Due to your very convenient location right north of their team, I must ask that is there any way you could join the war against them? If you can't, is there any other way you could help us in the war efforts?

Cheers,

My response:

Bowsling/Aivoturso:

Unfortunately, we have a long NAP with Yossarian/Caledorn, and it is currently in our best interests to support them.

Sincerely,
DMOC

And finally, from Bisons, who finally noticed our espionage points.

HI
i saw you have met some spy point on me. it seems to not lost my graph si i just put that i need to have yours.
i hope there is no intention to start a spy war between us, i've already the most of spy production, and i've no intention too spy you, since we have very good relation.

in other case
have you already use of your stone ?
do you want start to speak about a nap extention ?

Bisons

I had to think a bit before responding, since it's clear that Bisons is starting to get concerned about us.

Bisons,

(1) I am sorry about the espionage points, I was trying to get tech visibility into other civilizations so I thought I would put them on you. I switched the points into Yossarian.

(2) After Alphabet, what tech plan are you considering? I am researching Aesthetics and Literature so I can finally build the National Epic.

(3) I also offered a map trade since you now have Paper. We have most of the world map scouted out, so I think this is a good deal for you.

(4) We are still using the stone but if you really need them we can gift to you (or for small gold payment). What do you plan to use the stone for and how long do you think you may need it?

(5) Let's discuss the NAP at roughly turn 150. I am always hesitant about extending NAPs due to Pitboss 4 at Realms Beyond. (I'm not sure if you read that game but if you did, you will understand.)

Sincerely,
DMOC

There are some lies sprinkled in here. I'm really trying to fish him for information.

As far as the turn goes, we have some good news with respect to our ally. They captured one city and look to capture a few more in the next few turns. I sent Yossarian a message about the unit composition in some of the cities our scouting chariot could see.

We are still growing, building forges and other economical buildings. (Three cities will grow this coming turn.) By the time it's turn 150, a lot of these will be barracks. Oh, and research is back to 100%. We should get Aesthetics and then Literature in short order. Our marble will be conveniently hooked up for our capital to build National Epic on turn 143.

Also of interest is that we are now tops in food again, and I have a feeling that SutOxy aren't putting all their cities into Great People production, as they did during their first Golden Age.

And will you look at that? The victory screen says we are #1 in population.

No updates in tech. Bisons will get Alphabet soon, so we can see his techs. This sort of lessens the need for us to pump espionage points into him.
