[SPOILERS] Team EggHeads: DMOC and TeddyKGB (Now Lurker-Friendly!)

[DMOC]

They also have fast workers so they minimize "wasted" turns in getting back on that hill to put the pasture in once they do have AH.

[DMOC]

Team EggHeads sent us this:

Hi Eggheads!
Last turn we spotted a fierce Lion lurking around our eastern lands. Your scout should be wary!
The Care Bears

It would have been more helpful to be specific about where the lion was, though. Regardless, I think we'll still be okay if we only stick to defensive bonuses as planned. I sent a quick response back.

Team Care Bears,

Thanks for the heads up. For now, we're going to stick our scout to defensive terrain so he should be safe from lions, even if he needs to spend multiple turns healing. If you could also let us know the exact location of the lion, or any other enemy units, that would be helpful (but that's totally up to you; we'll still be playing it safe with our scout anyway). We'll return the favor if we notice any barbarians near your scout.

I like we keep it short diplo msgs. These guys are French and not update so much on this forum. Let's keep it simple and friendly.
I guess we have NAP till T61?

Turn rolled, could u play it DMOC? Screenshots F7, F8, events log and espionage could maybe some of use too.

India go for religion or SH maybe?

Turn 24 - 3040 BC

Not much of interest this turn, apart from a few more score changes. I've long lost track of what each meant, but I'm pretty sure no other team has founded a second city yet. (Team CareBears, with their plains hill, imperialistic trait, and fast worker chopping should get their first city up the first; my guess is that it will happen on turn 27-28.

In game, I noticed that our espionage ratio with Team Care Bears is 16 to 12, so we've put in 16 points, and they've put in 12 on us. But I thought we were their only contact?

Note: Turn 25 is next, so I'll probably take a LOT of screenshots; any requests?

All right, onto the turn. On the domestic front:





Our scout:



Do we want to move him 2-1 the next turn?

Yes, NAP until turn 61.

Say, maybe I should probably stop saying "including" to an NAP. So in the future, if we say "NAP until turn X" I suppose that means turn X we can start war.

I'm planning to look into C&D tonight-tomorrow. We got every info we need to backtrack it. Wish I wasnt so lazy, oh well.

16/12 espionage ratio means they made another contact. Let them come clear on that. If they dont, we have to assume they are try to hide some info from us. Lets stay friendly as far as we can, tho. We dont know whos on our west, lets keep cooperating with our east neighbour.

I propose 8-3 for scout, as an option. There is a coast north and lets hope we'll go east next turn. In general, I cant see why we should use our scout to explore around India capital. We eather go for fast next contact or come back and explore east lands of our capital. We should know more next turn once our border pop.

[DMOC]

I remember us having an 8/8 espionage ratio a few turns ago, so they might have made the contact as recently as last turn. We could ask them, but let's wait a few turns so we don't keep bombarding them with emails.

Yeah, I'm starting to think 8-3 is the best. If we get open borders (which we probably will) then we can scout their lands in more detail.

[TeddyKGB]

I agree, let them tell us first about contact. Its obv for us, but lets test our 'friendship'.

[TeddyKGB]

Another thought, they adopt slavery right away. So, they planning whip 4-2 settler most likely.

And I dont like 'CareBears' name for team. It sounds like 'EggHeads' - we are peaceful civ. They got some advantage on us early. All we got to fight back is CRE and maybe (maybe!) diplo.
