Quickly, full report and comments in the evening.
WilliamLP offered OBs - accepted
Pindicator canceled our OBs
(we helped him earlier!)
This means our scouting way is closed. We are getting trade routes to WilliamLP (so no economic loss, yay), possibly through pindicators lands and therefore I hesitate to declare war on pindicator to get through. Deep knowledge of trade routes would be handy here.
We could offer OBs along with some kind of a clams-crabs deal indicating that we will declare and pillage pindis clams if he does not accept?
