My response. Figured it was time to declare my intent to settle thier way

Turn 90ish sounds doable.

As for borders yes those discussions would be good. Part of the reason I sent my scout your way to see what there was to divy up.

While I have alittle space south it is crappy tundra so I would need to move north but I am sure we can come up with an equitable border.

[Broker33]

Sent Ruff the following message. Probably an obvious I dont want you looking over here but it is true no the less.

Spotted your warrior by the shore in the south. I just came out of the tundra.

Just for your info. If you head into the tundra you will have 20 turns by the most direct route to get to a spot you can head north around my borders.

Just thought I would save you some time.

Recived this one just recently, unsure if they havent seen it or if they are trying to snow me. Only barren land is the desert and that will not do.

Paul,

Glad to hear that T90 or so sounds good. Once we have alpha we could
give you fishing unless you have a more immediate need for it. Also,
do you have AH? That's another tech that we'll have, so we could trade
it unless you have an immediate need for it.

There not much as far as we can tell between us in terms of land.
There is a strip of land which is quite barren and it may make a good
border. You may have better luck with the land E of your capital
maybe. Again, I would like to discuss with Dreylin as well, but I
wanted to bring this up early so we can think about it. I am also sure
we can come up with something reasonable for both of us.

My response, may have been too quick but I wanted them to know I know what is out there and that I will get a fair split.

Interesting. I have scouted everything 10 tiles north of the sheep where you met me and I do not see this barren streach of land you speak of yet. I trust you are not talking that desert right next the sheep that would leave me 2 maybe 3 cities and wouldnt be equitable.

You are another 10 tiles north I would expect from what you told me and this would all be land closer to my capital than yours. I will continue to look for this natural border you speak of.

[Broker33]

Dreylin is much closer than I thought. Already see his borders.

Going to have to negotiate a land split in the north. Asked for the whole things so far wont take less than half.

Pigs improved in 2 then move to phants

Grow in 3

BW in 5.

Hello again I am at your borders. Let me through please. If you want to wait until you get writing let me know how long that will be and I will explore east abit.

On another note apparently Ruff met me abit ago. He spotted my borders accross the waters but never sent me a message. I didnt notice till I was poking around the tabs at the top and saw him on the diplo screen.

I sent him a message but all he said was he spotted my borders from accross the borders and he met one other to my west. I have a warrior out that was who will be looking around.

[Broker33]

Recieved this response. Will declare war an move through.

Hey broker,

as far as passage goes, the only way to get through is for one of us
to declare war on the other; this is accomplished by holding down th
ALT key and clicking on our name in the bottom-right civ list. I'm not
entirely up to speed with what kalin and you have agreed, but
ultimately there's nothing we can do to stop you declaring and moving
through.

So Ruff is to your NW, is that right? And he's met one more civ to his
East, or to yours? Anyway, did you get the impression that he thought
he had a land route across to you/us? Maybe he's down the Western
route past the Wines.

Dreylin of the League.

[Broker33]

My response. There is probably a passage to past the wines as they say but I dont want them to know that yet. At least until my cities are up over there. That area is already going to be contested enough.

Ruff is to my NW probably.

Other was due west according to Ruff

Land passage is through the tundra south of me. Long slog but it is there. All trees

[Broker33]

BW is in Research was set to Priesthood s/b 6 turns. Warrior should be out also and grow in 3.

Wont know where copper is until I get home.

I am thinking.

Max Hammer.

2nd warrior normal. 3rd warrior get 14 hammer in and chop overflow into worker.

Whip worker overflow into Edit Settler.

Edit Then start oracle with a couple chops.

Some questions for the lurkers

How many turns to chop
How many turns to mine
Is it time for pictures

[Swiss Pauli]

A picture if you have visible copper would be good.

I think this game is normal speed, so it's three for a chop and four to mine IIRC (also add 1 turn for the move onto the tile).
