RPB3 SPOILERS Bismarck of India (regoarrarr, darrelljs, sooooo, sunrise089)

Turn rolled to T25. Buncha folks (including us) got 6 points from BFC land.

France, Inca, and Maya researched techs. I'll wait till I get a demographics screenie to say for sure, but my first guesses would be

France - Mining (just like all the other Ag/wheel->AH civs)
Inca - Bronze Working (researched Mining on T9)
Maya - Anim. Husb (Mining / Myst, researched Agriculture on T11)

I happened to check our DJCiv email and we had a chaseup message from Ruff

Its been 4 days with no response - I know that your 4 man team has to draft, edit, revise, update and settle on a final version so I guess that this process is still ongoing.

Anyway, I have some news that I can share with you ... the civilization to your West is <redacted>.

Also, my capital culture grew last turn so I will have additional map size information that will share with you later tonight.

I wrote off a quick reply but we should get him our "official" reply as soon as we can

Hey ruff -

Sorry for the delay. We are still trying to figure out the best way to handle diplomacy for our team. Believe me the delay is not because we're figuring out how best to stall you for our inevitable choke / rush :-)

Thank you for the info on our neighbor and we will try to get back to you with the "official" response

I also gave him mine and sunrise's chat info

[regoarrarr]

So...... care to guess who our westerly neighbor is?????

I told sunrise the answer so I will share it for the rest of you - it's Exploit. I guess it could be worse, it could be Krill

[darrelljs]

I'd say go ahead and send the last draft with rego's tweak .

Doesn't Exploit hate you?

I checked; he's Darius of Sumeria. Sumeria is a good civ, I think the Vulture is a really nice unit and as ORG he gets 45H, early Courthouses. Its a really nice leader/civ combo actually...let's kill him .

I think starting next to Krill would have been a good thing. We'd just have to protect our Workers until signing a NAP .

It is unclear whether Exploit hates us or not. It is certainly true that we have been at war for quite awhile, though on the other hand, he doesn't hate me enough to give us all his cities. In talking with him, he is most annoyed at Dreylin and Broker.

But I'm fine with at some point - certainly we've proved he's not that great at MP warring....

T25 played according to plan and I see now that T26 has rolled as well.

Soldier count went up 14000 points, so I think my earlier tech guesses were correct, and an unknown warrior as well
