Sorry I didn't reply sooner. My morning was spent shovelling snow instead of checking Civ!
I'm good with moving Tricky East and promoting him.
The diplo message doesn't adress the "cool down" period. I believe their proposal was NAP till T50 with 10 turn cool down. I highly doubt a war before T60 so I'm fine with a NAP until then, but want to continue to object to any cool down period on principle.
Since our scouts have been spending so much time wounded, I'm not too concerned with giving away more map info than we get.
Regarding Tech trading, I am glad to "prime the pump" as it were, but I would suggest we avoid getting too specific. Neither of our civs will be able to trade techs any time soon and by then we'll hopefully have met other civs. I want to keep a strong relationship going but not feel bound to trade with them. I wouldn't want to set up an expectation that we fail to live up to and therefore create hostile feelings.
Those be my thoughts, but I'm not great at pointing them in a diplomatic way, so I'm glad that isn't my job! :neenernee
Seriously, though, you're doing a great job so far!
