could we narrow that down to "the area between our capitals (east of Aquilonia, west of DIM)"?
They could interpret "Everything we've explored W of our capital" as all the scouting we've done so far to our west.
yes although that would require them to tell us where aquilonia is so we know where to cut off the screenshot. we might be better off just trading info straight up? conan's explored a ton of space between the capitals so it's not a bad trade
They won't be able to trade us Maths if they don't have Alphabet. Unless you expect them go for Alphabet and then Maths, and then trade us Maths?
ultimately if it's only the two of us trading techs we'll be very very screwed as i think there will either be 4 blocs of ~4 or 3 blocs of ~5-6 forming to trade alpha/maths/monarchy/IW etc among each other. you make a good point that we should make it clearer we want to include more civs in the trade.
Could you ask them if we can somehow put Writing in the deal (either as an advance or to be traded for a religion tech)? I would really like to skip teching for it.
Do they plan on beelining to Alpha?
good point
Speaking of which...
Dazed, I've got my hands pretty full with the C&D (I'll send you guys another update next turn), and with Meatbalz handling diplomacy, I was wondering if you would have the time to set up a sandbox game?
maybe put this as a PS?
if you prefer, it's fine with me. it probably belongs in the body of the message though?
Otherwise, good job young man! (Good one on the "more talking"
edit: i've edited the original draft to include much of what ilios said
