[TheMusicMan]

depends ... were they named?

yes, thomas bruce haha

actually told by others that they are my natural expansion point as on same water as my stone. thats my galley snooping about haha

*also reminded me to play the turn

[Sian]

well ... i'd argue that natural expansion point would be Marble to the NE rather than to the SW ... in that case i stole from bRick but given that he barely had a city on that water by the time i expanded there ... well

By the way, I am back and playing turns and catching up on the happenings again so Hello. :P

[BRickAstley]

So Azza, I see that our NAP is expiring in the next turn, would you up up for another extension on that, say another 20 turns?

[Azza]

I will extend our NAP if you gift me Serinity Valley. You've seen the damage I've done to Sian's position, are you willing to risk it happening to you too?

[BRickAstley]

I have seen the damage; however, not only were you also damaged in turn, but I know about your stack and can count distance well enough to see that I have time to prepare. I do already have a Cho-Ko-Nu force and can make plenty more to repel any attack coming my way. An opportunity to build XP would be nice, and while I might lose something out of it in the long run you stand to lose a lot more.

I will not gift you a city, but I re-extend a normal NAP extension offer.

If you chose to go to war here and now, every hammer you'd be forced to spend on military would be a hammer that slowcheetah, MusicMan and Sian will spend on infrastructure. What have I got to lose? Maybe 2nd place, if I'm lucky. Signing a NAP only allows you to further your economic development, and most likely leaves me wallowing behind. I merely request something that reduces the margin to something more manageable, from my point of view.

I guess what it boils down to, is whether you're willing to risk blowing a winning position as a matter of principal, or whether you're willing to compromise to maintain a strong position overall?

There's been a battle in Serenity Valley? That's pretty awesome
