Had an interesting chat with Rego, I'll post the pertinent information (and leave out the banter)
Most pertinent is at the bottom (looking at you MB
)
There's more...

Quote:9 minutes
4:01 PM DJ: cool
4:02 PM we apparently met rome this past turn
me: their near you cities?
*they'e
*whatever
4:03 PM DJ: i think so
me: i can't remember if we told you we've met England?
DJ: i think he has a warrior near one of our cities
yeah - south of you?
4:04 PM me: yup
yeah he came from Portugal
which I guess is why Dantski and Mukha kept waiting for them to end their turn
DJ: oh
i didn't know they were doing that
4:05 PM me: yeah Krill told me Rome was moving around Portugal's second city
and not playing nice
French style
4:06 PM DJ: hmm
me: Rome should be to our east I guess
4:07 PM DJ: i think to your north, as i understand things
i thought portugal was to your east
me: ah
4:08 PM figures though
Portugal Korea Ottomans HRE
4:09 PM DJ: right that's how i am reading things
me: Exploit you Aztec Rome
DJ: exploit me, aztec, inca, rome i think
me: you' ve met Inca?
DJ: have you confirmed that ottomans are directly to your west?
no but ruff has
4:10 PM me: Ottomans are about 12 tiles west
couple of tiles north
DJ: so have you seen our capital?
me: then Rome is to our NE

Quote:me: which tech you will be researching
4:35 PM DJ: oh
i think we'll be saving gold at that point
me: yeah sure
DJ: we'll finish masonry around t59 or so?
i don't think we have a strong preference
guess it depends on where this alliance goes
me: true
4:36 PM DJ: i know our team would be interested in working with you guys as part of kind of an "inner" alliance
or alliance within the alliance
me: why would you want that?
DJ: well 8-10 teams is good for a few things
a) maximum tech coverage
b) making sure the people NOT in the alliance are less than you
but it can get unwieldy fast
so say there are 10 of us
and we kill the rest of us
4:37 PM me: i will get unwieldy
DJ: the rest of the civs i mean
me: *it
DJ: at some point the 10 are going to break up
so it would seem to make sense to try and ensure that you (and us) are on the GOOD side of the breakup
does that make sense?
i think you guys and us are good natural partners
me: yeah it does
DJ: we met early, even though we're geographically far away
so we've had time to build up trust
but we don't have to worry about border tension
4:38 PM and we could share some of the same common enemies / borders
me: and you're worried about Krill
DJ: well of course
i'm sure some folks (possibly you included?) are worried about us
at least from "name recognition"
me: about you not really
4:39 PM but I was secretly hoping you're found your second city 4 tiles from our capital :D
4:40 PM j/k
DJ: that would be SOME maintenance!
and that city was equidistant between us and the ottomans!!!!! :-D
4:41 PM me: the words out of my mouth!
DJ: (in some manners of speaking)
so obviously you don't have to commit to anything right NOW
but we will want to firm some things up sooner rather than later
4:42 PM me: well, I think you'll find us a pretty decent and honest bunch
I'll take up your offer under consideration
DJ: okay post it in theread get some comments and let us know what ou think
4:43 PM i mean at this point we have no real formal plans or anything
me: what are your thoughts on the Ottomans?
DJ: just more of a general idea / understanding that we want to work together
haven't met them yet
haven't met them yet
me: i understand, but you will have border tension
DJ: really?
me: with them i mean
4:44 PM DJ: well i guess
i have them 15 tiles east and 12 tiles south
me: there will be some
DJ: they're more south of ruff i think
me: yup
DJ: yeah eventually you're right we'll probably border them
me: they're pretty decent bunch i think
4:45 PM australian too
DJ: yeah i don't know any of them
4:46 PM me: would you include Ruff in said inner alliance?
DJ: i think that could make some sense for us
and he seems to be a nice guy
me: flank protection
DJ: exactly
4:47 PM me: ok then let's assume it's you, us, Ottomans, Ruff
gives us a solid block
easier to defend
DJ: yeah
4:48 PM me: anyway, like you said, pretty early for all of this
DJ: right at this point just kind of talking in generalities i guess
but wanted to throw it out there
this is regoarrarr btw
me: ilios
4:49 PM DJ: cool
me: gotta run
DJ: later
me: i'll talk this over with my compatriates
cya
