whoa that's quite a reversal 
well, that is MUCH more like it. looks like our diplomacy has struck a chord after all. both ilios and i were able to catch A4 members in-game and chat to them, which i think reinforced in their mind our merits as partners.

1) an apology for the curt tone
2) NAP proposal without restriction for 30 turns
3) they know (or think they know) where our capital is
4) sounding out our willingness to trade screenshots of the area
5) free info re: their preferred tech path
6) a willingness to work with us in the medium-term with a proposal to trade alpha or maths, both of which would come WAY after the T50 NAP expiry
who'd have thunk? i'm not saying they've gone all-in with us but suggesting a NAP+a tech trade+screenshot exchanges on T21 is PRETTY friendly. i have some thoughts but would like to hear from you guys first.
