I would take out the line about "our heavy expansion." I would change that to "the maintenance costs are quite high on this map"

I'd recommend addressing the Germans' health-for-happy proposal, too, so it doesn't sound like we're ignoring them. Something like, "we have plenty of health, but would be willing to trade you a spare happy resource for 10 (or whatever) GPT".

Both drafts (Apolyton and the Germans) look good to me, but I agree with DaveV. An EP sharing agreement with one of the courthouse-teams would be excellent.
Furthermore, I consider that forum views should be fluid in width

I think we should tell WPC immediately what we agree to with them.

Phrase it something like, "We hope to keep the Germans unsuspecting of our future assault."

Agreed with GES' comment and agreed with Q's suggestion too.

I can throw in a happy-for-gpt clause, but how much are we actually wanting to ask for? The difficulty is that we're looking at a very tiny civ with very few cities at the happy cap, so it's probably not worth it for them for more than a few gpt. On top of that we'd be aiding the economic development of a team we hope to roll over... So I'm not sure it's evevn worth it for us if we're only getting 3-4 gpt from them.

I think we can leave it open and see what Germans offer. I'm sure they will then undestand if we turn down an offer of 3gpt or something similar.

Yeah I don't think there's a happy-for-gpt deal that both we and the Germans would be happy with.
I have to run.

yes, exactly. they cant afford what would we would want. so tell them we aren't interested in health resources and then let them offer more. we'll give them a missionary or two, so what smile

Just tell them that, then. "We'd be willing to trade happy for GPT, but we don't think you could afford our asking price."
