Quote:...espeically in light of the fact that France assumed they were CAN members until the last second. To that end, we agree with you that we should plan for a post CAN future, and indeed we should consider being the ones to end CAN rather than waiting for a sneak attack from supposed allies.
I'm wondering if that was a small barb directed at us...
Anyway, me and Warriorknight from Ottomans had a little chat concerning the proposed anti-Krill alliance, and we've both come to the conclusion it is not in our best interest to attack Krill, as we'd have nothing to gain.
We've decided to seperately send this back to India/DJCiv, as we don't want to give them the impression we're as joined at the hip as India and Ruff.
Quote:me: what do you think of India's email?
makes me wonder if Krill has Post- CAN strategy that singles out India
Ottoman: lol
I'm not that keen on a Krill strike
3:08 AM me: me neither
Ottoman: if Carthage is on our side, I could be convinced though
otherwise, no
3:10 AM a Krill strike doesn't really help you guys much, nor does it help us much either
me: I'd rather tear Inca a new one
Ottoman: true
me: it's like I told you in the beginning of the game when the Cartel was forming
3:11 AM Krill and Egypt are eying each other and trying to get other teams to attack each other
Ottoman: yeah
me: I mean Krill and India
Ottoman: lol
3:12 AM its not really in our interest for Krill to be taken down
me: exactly
to me, the email was pretty crude
Ottoman: well, they are doing diplo, what do you expect?
3:13 AM Krill doesn't even have a shrine yet, never mind 3
me: yup
but he'll have a few soon
Ottoman: 1
3:14 AM but anyways, how should we counter?
me: he'll probably get another prophet within 10-12 turns
Ottoman: true
me: well we start by saying that we do not think it is in our interest for Krill to be taken out
3:15 AM we say it in a better way ofcourse
Ottoman: hmmm, i was thinking that we downplay Krill's strengths
me: good idea
Ottoman: instead, focus on Carthage if they don't join and Inca
me: i'm pretty sure India has been having this discussion with Byz
3:16 AM they seem to dislike Krill quite a lot
Ottoman: well, byz probably aren't on that good terms with Krill
true
might wait until catas though
me: you mean catapults?
or Cataphracs?
Ottoman: well, cataphracts
me: ok
3:17 AM Ottoman: why else should byz attack?
me: exacly
there's no use in taking Ruff apart to discuss this
he seems to be following India's call
Ottoman: true
we'll have to play our own version then
3:18 AM me: yup
Ottoman: you focus on Inca in your response and We'll focus on Carthage
me: ok
Ottoman: we don't want to be seen like India/Ruff
me: nope
3:19 AM Ottoman: this isquite a funny situation though
me:
3:20 AM also, no way you keep an anti-Krill alliance a secret for long
Ottoman: true, an anti-krill allaince would also break immediately after Krill does
3:21 AM kinda unstable if recruiting just to kill krill
me: I don't think Krill will go down that easily
Ottoman: lol, kill krill
me: hehe
Ottoman: true, but this map means everyone is surrounded from all sides
hard to play defense
3:22 AM me: yeah
he'll be safe from his west though, assuming we finally take out France
Ottoman: N is clear too, since he killed Korea
3:23 AM me: i'm pretty sure India could convince portugal as well
if he can ever get peace with Rome
3:24 AM Ottoman: well, Portugal I think is a lost hope
me: yeah
Ottoman: Rome probably isn't going to stop heading for Portugal since they razed their iron city
me: but still getting lots of techs
3:25 AM Ottoman: true
