He offered a map trade too that I accepted. If I'm right then I think we want to get Chemistry + Astro next to let us kick Ichabod off our island and keep him off it, then we concentrate on naval power to defend ourselves from Mack and everyone else...
I hope you get invaded and die (and vice versa).
But yeah, I'm no sure what to think about this.
I assume that technically it's ok to send such messages, but I would not like communication like this becoming a habit in AI Diplo games, because NAPs suck hard. For future AI Diplo games I think it would be good to set some kind of rules about coded messages, I think Iron for Iron trades to signal friendship are fine, but I think that you should not be allowed to discuss NAPs via messages. That said, I'm not sure how real NAP that is. We certainly do not close our eyes and just trust mack, we'll send our sentries inside his borders anyways and I'm sure that mack does not trust us either.
Anyways, implications for coming turns, let's play along with this until we can make up our minds and see how our suttree adventure succeeds. Taking Ichabod's island cities sounds like a reasonable plan (Astro bulb coming?), because unfortunately this mack-suttree crisis has probably closed the window to pile on TBS or back-stab dtay.
I'll comment on actual game stuff in my next post!
