First of, good job on the official and and unofficial diplomacy. I'm a big fan of being clear but not overly formal which I think you captured very well in your messages. Kudos! I felt like they were giving away more information than we were.
Sense of humor? Check! Though the could possibly mean they aren't afraid at all, but I doubt they're trying to use that kind of subtle message.
So they don't think that they have good lands nearby? I feel like we do. I hope they don't decide that they need to move closer to use to get better land.
I have no problem exchanging information as long as it is mutually beneficial. Since our scout can move faster, hopefully we'll have more info. So even trading 1:1 we stay further ahead. I also think the first few turns of mutual help go far in establishing our diplomatic tone. I'd rather be more helpful now so we have more wiggle room later rather than be stingy now and wish we had some room later.
Per earlier discussions, I don't think we should have NAPs just to have them. We don't even see their capitol yet and it's highly unlikely we will need on any time soon. That said, I agree we will want one with them eventually. I am forever opposed to "cool down" times though. What's the point? Unless we're the underdog and don't want a surprise attack from a larger enemy.

Quote:Has Hernan by chance happened to meet any other civilizations? If so would you be so kind to let us know and possibly give us directions so that we might meet them also?
