Nice job MB! I have a good feeling with these guys, and it would seem they are another team without a lot of MP experience.
Dazed, I know it can be hard starting next to a CRE civ, but I'm gathering we have more than enough room to expand, so I don't think we will have trouble with our first 4-6 cities.
All in all I'm quite happy with our first neighbour, as it isn't an early rush civ (AGG Rome comes to mind), or a horribly experienced MP team (Sunrise et al, Krill).
That said, we've only met our neighbour to the west, who knows what surprises the other directions will bring us...
Awaiting their formal response, I was thinking how much information we want to give them, for example regarding our starting location. What are your thoughts? Exchanging information builds trust, and trust makes for good allies... We've all seen what an overly formal diplomatic style combined with playing zero sum games with opposing factions does to building trust...
(PB2 anyone?)
