Diplomacy Master Thread- Helping Your Opponents Beat Themselves

[kalin]

I speak French but haven't written in a while. I will also be travelling soon, but I can try and help with messages in French if necessary.

What about telling Germans about alliance with WPC and declaring war soon? Would that make them move some units to WPC borders?
We would also sound honest...

Obviously we want to be able to get as many cities as possible, but it isn't in our interest for them to be able to effectively hold off WPC either.

Regardless, I don't see how this would help us at all, and has a minor risk of irritating an ally.

Is UniversCiv actually a French team? I really know nothing about them and their forum.

I guess we should ask the Spalaton for an AAR of the the CFC attack. It would be nice to atleast know what they are up against. I wonder if they can put a settler on a galley and send it into our arctic wastes

[Jabah]

Do we have any francophone on the team?

I would be happy to help you, but given my lack of free time (and the fact that RB site is on my work blocking list), I am just lurking and checking updates once a day late at night and can't commit to long discussion.
I probably could do a few translation or mainly check/correct your proposed message if ever you need to send some of them in French, but might be easier/faster to keep communicating with them in English (I doubt a full team even of French Civ players can't get a simple message in English as long as you are not trying to be too fancy in your communication)

Jabah, lurking since T100 and waiting with impatience for the next turns ...

From the Spanish:

well.. to late :D
CFC had declare war. Luck for us HRB will be finnished this same
turn... so, It will not be easy for CFC.
We will keep you informed about troops and positions

[Sullla]

Well thank goodness that they're finishing Horseback Riding tech this turn. Losing a border city and not killing a single CFC unit was not exactly a good sign. Here's to your success, Spanish Apolyton.

From CivPlayers:

Scooter,

From my personal view, "last chance" period is just "extensible" period and is designed right to choose if you need to extend your deals or not. If it becomes "last chance" period this means that its size is not comfort. At this moment estimate that situation will develop precipitously and want to see what happens in next few turns. I am still sure that I will be able to evaluate and find the most comfort extension date before "last chance" period begins if you dont like it so much.

About spice and sugar, we are going to have both soon. So we definitely are not interested.

If there are things you want to discuss feel free to contact me. It seems that Decebal cant share enough time for it. Sorry for that.

If I werea gambling man, I'd be putting my money on "they are going to war on t175". Though the grammar is bad enough that meaning could be scrambled in translation
