We meet Lord Parkin - here is his "opening email" ( we didn't answer yet to it ) :
Ouch ... this isn't a very good news ... even an expected one from somebody playing with Egypt ...
As an update : our settler is completed and Stonehenge was started ( even too late maybe - 9 turns until it's completed ... if this will happen ...
).
Quote:Greetings mackoti and Ioan76,
It's a pleasure to meet you both! I believe our Warriors encoutered one another a turn or two ago. You're the second civ we've met in this game - it'll probably be no surprise to you that luddite was the first civ we met, since you must have encountered him too by now.
In case you're interested, our nation is located a fair distance to the east of our meeting place. I presume your civilization is somewhere to the west? (If you'd rather not say that's fine, I'm just interested.) Either way, it seems we're not immediate neighbours, so there's not much reason for either of us to be interested in aggression towards the other right away. As a result, I think it would benefit us both to agree to a fairly long-term non-aggression pact. What do you think? We're open to your suggestions as to a renegotiation date... does 1000 BC sound reasonable? We're happy to talk longer if you want. Let us know.
As an initial act of goodwill and friendship, we're happy to let you know that - as you may have guessed for Ind/Cha Egypt - we're currently working on an early Stonehenge build. We realise you're unlikely to be going for this wonder anyway - but we thought we'd let you know just in case, so you can save yourself any wasted hammers.
Also, since we're both Industrious civs, it may benefit us both to communicate further about wonder building, if you're interested. It seems that your Roosevelt is the ideal leader for rushing out the Great Lighthouse, so if you're looking to grab this wonder we'd be happy not to contest you for it in return for you not contesting us on some other wonder. The Oracle is another wonder that all the Industrious civs are probably going to be keen on - if you have an interest in this wonder yourself, we may be willing to negotiate a deal here as well, where we don't contest it in return for you not contesting something else. Up to you.
Anyway, that's about all for now, I think. Once again, it's good to meet you, and I hope we'll be able to work out a lasting cooperation that will benefit us both for many years to come.
Kind regards,
Lord Parkin
P.S. Apologies for the delay in this greeting. Usually I'd make contact earlier, but I've had to shift flats all of a sudden - so I've been frantically packing/moving/unpacking the past few days. Haven't had time for anything forum- or diplomacy-related at all!
