More diplomacy

Email from shadyforce

> Heh. It was the declining treasury, so I am now beefing up my massive stack in response!!!
Yes, so I see from the power graphs! Who said anything about my imaginary massive stack heading for *you* though?


> So your email made it sound like you are not able or interested in trading whatever it is that you're researching for Currency? Is that accurate or am I mis-reading things?
> Be that because you are also researching Currency or possibly that someone else is researching it and you have agreed on a deal with them?
Because I'm researching Currency myself.


> Or are there options for us to still work together?
Of course. But I don't believe a Currency for Currency trade will work too well! But I meant it when I said I intend to seek future trade possibilities with you. I might be doing Calendar after Currency and if so I would have it around the T100 mark. Do you expect to have Calendar by then?

My reply

Hmm how about a 20 gold for 20 gold, on the turn that you discover Currency :-)

I'm not sure if I will have Calendar by then or not - let's talk after you discover Currency

On the domestic front - I played T90 and T91 last night. Things are on target for the settle-fest on T94 and the Gardens on T95. I am hopeful to play T92 andd 93 today (it has already rolled to T92) with T94-95 on Saturday.

The 2 western settlers are on the move. The only issue is that a barb warrior spawned up there (in addition to the barb axe that is already up there). I have 1 healthy axe (C1) and 1 2.3/5 axe (also C1). They are (were) both adjacent to the barb warrior, so I am hoping that the warrior will attack the wounded axe (and die) and I can get the barb axe to attack the healthy axe in the woods. I'll report on it tonight.

The chops all came in at Norwood so that settler is on target as well (it was created when the turned rolled and will spend T92-93 moving to the hill and found on T94).

The worker at Fairfield got a 2nd cottage and is now starting a farm.

Cincinnati will use the overflow from the settler whip to get a workboat for Terrace Park in 1 and then possibly another workboat for red dot and then some archers or the temple / monastery, once the missionary gets there, which is delayed because the ISS Adams has to defog for Blue Ash in the west.

Reply back to Ruff

This looks interesting. I have been talking to 1 other but got no response at the moment - so I am only planning for The Borg to join the Cartel (what is your name for it?).

re tech sharing ... I'm surprised that you are trying to balance beakers ... thought you might just be sharing everything with the aim to pull ahead
obviously, I have nothing by way of tech to share at the moment

Re sharing your techs with me ... sending them my way before DoW will be a huge tip off. However, a DoW will also be a big tip off. There is nothing that you have that I actually need at the moment (a swarm of Preats will do just fine). My suggestion is that I get my units ready / staged (2 or 3 turns). I am currently researching mono and I am planning to circulate it to the others and then to DoW. At that stage, you guys send me the techs.

Target: Krill is an option but he is at least 10 turns travel time from me. Kodii / mh are right next door and I can be taking his capital in 3 or 4 turns. He is the target that I have in mind.

Ruff

[regoarrarr]

There was some replies from Kalin and Broker on ruff joining but they were mostly positive and I am not going to include them - their opinions are more or less summed up in the email I sent to the G5 and Ruff (G6 now?)

Ruff,

I don't have a lot of time right now, but wanted to just reply to make sure you could get things going before too many more turns pass. You will notice that I am also copying the Lins, sunrise, Broker and ZPV. I'm sure between the 6 of us we can figure out any details.

We don't really have a name. In my post reports, I have been referring it as the G5 (Group of 5) so maybe it would be the G6 now? As long as we have your word that you are committed to it, I think that's all we need.

I think going for m-h would be good, but there is definite concern about Krill. He has been acting aggressive towards mostly the Lins and you'll have noticed that he has like 8 or 9 cities already and his food graphs are off the charts. So we would like you to be able to offer some assistance there, when needed. Things are unclear as to whether or not the Lins or sunrise have an NAP with Krill or not. Ideally you would be able to cripple / eliminate M-H and then move those battle-hardened Praets towards Krill but I'm sure we can work out the details.

I think your plan of us giving you the techs after the DoW sounds about right.

The only other thing I could think of was asking if you knew which other civs were going for what other techs.

Chat with ZPV

(17:43) ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF: hello. You there?
(17:44) me: yes
(17:44) me: i don't know if i told you this but shady told me he is researching currency
(17:44) ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF: do you know roughly when you are going to play? That's good news. I'd like to know if I should stay up to play this evening
(17:44) me: probably not until 9 pm my time (3 hours from now)
(17:45) ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF: ok, I won't then
(17:45) me: ok
(17:45) me: what's your timing look like for the declaration?
(17:45) me: shady's immortal has moved back
(17:45) me: into his lands
(17:46) ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF: I'd guess around 10 turns. Maybe a little less - I'm preparing a couple of 2-pop whips over the next couple of turns. I have an explorer out now, to see what kind of defenses he has in place.
(17:46) me: okay
(17:47) me: seems like construction might be out by then - are you okay with that?
(17:47) ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF: Once I have that intel, then I can do the planning explicitly
(17:48) ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF: It'll be tight, but I can deal with one or two elephants. He won't have time to make more than that before I disconnect his supply at CC. (You are ok with that, right? The deal specified metals only to be pillaged, but I think this is an honourable exception.)
(17:48) me: heh
(17:48) me: yes
(17:49) me: i believe he has 2 sources? maybe even 3 if you coudn the one at the new city
(17:49) me: can't remember from the resource screen
(17:49) me: (the one at the new city isn't hooked up right now but probably will be in 10 tunrs)
(17:50) ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF: the new city will probably be one of my first targets. Mobility stack -> horse city sneak attack. Combat stack -> new city, then use the roads to rendezvous with M stack at CC
(17:51) me: cool
(17:51) me: i've been worried that you might call it off
(17:51) me: didn't know how far across the bridge you were, so to speak
(17:52) ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF: I won't if I can feasibly pull it off. If I see a dozen war elephants with my scout, I may have to rethink, and delay.
(17:52) me: right
(17:52) me: i think you are right that you may see one or 2
(17:52) me: shady says he's researching currency
(17:53) me: and while i believe him, he could be lying
(17:53) me: but even if he is, i'd say the odds are pretty good that SOMEONE is researching construction
(17:53) me: and either already has plans to trade it to shady
(17:53) ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF: do you know who researched maths out of the other group?
(17:53) me: or will once they see shady under a big NC stack
(17:53) me: i am not sure
(17:53) me: but it was on about T85
(17:53) me: originally i thought it was dsp
(17:53) me: but he did MC
(17:54) me: shady did alpha
(17:54) me: ruff and imho didn't have it for quite awhile
(17:54) me: have to be either m-h or krill
(17:54) me: i think it was m-h
(17:54) ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF: ruff did IW, krill did HBR, so yeah, mh
(17:54) me: at least that's who shady said he was going to trade it from (i am remembering)
(17:54) me: and mh just did aest
(17:54) me: so at least he's not going onto const
(17:54) ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF: I'd guess krill is doing constr
(17:55) me: that woudl not surprise me
(17:55) me: except i believe he is banking money
(17:55) me: i think his gold keeps going up
(17:55) ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF: saving for deficit research? having a lot of cities costs a lot of money
(17:55) me: right
(17:55) ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF: It would be great if it was ruff
(17:55) me: ruff said he's doing mono
(17:56) me: yes i think krill is saving money still
(17:56) me: and it's not going up by much due to the large empire as you mentioned
(17:56) ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF: what sort of gpt is he making?
(17:56) me: i can't th ink it's more than 20 or so
(17:56) me: he's got at least 9 cities now
(17:57) ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF: He's going to pay for that, when his tech partners find their hands suddenly full. :D
(17:57) me: hope so
(17:58) ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF: and the rate he is whipping his cities at, he'll need HeredRule for happiness, I suspect
(17:58) ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF: so maybe one of them is researching monarchy.
(17:58) ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF: Have you met dsp yet?
(17:58) me: that would make sense
(17:58) me: no
(17:58) me: i was wondering if you could send him an email
(17:58) me: telling him where my warrior is
(17:58) me: i'm on the tile s of hippo
(17:58) me: as far south as i can go
(17:59) ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF: can't you go further? Or does that leave a city undefended?
(17:59) me: no i'm on the south coast
(17:59) me: e of carthage i think
(17:59) ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF: If you see my city directly south of hippo, you can see his land from there
(17:59) me: carthage?
(17:59) ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF: your axeman?
(17:59) me: yes
(18:00) ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF: I can send him an email. The other, surefire way, is to follow my roads to my new city, getting wines, which has border contact with dsp
(18:00) me: which way is that?
(18:00) ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF: it's about 5S of hippo
(18:00) me: weird - i must have missed him on my trek south
(18:00) me: leptis?
(18:01) ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF: yeah
(18:01) me: okay i will head back that way
(18:01) ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF: if you walk into the city, you will see brown borders
(18:01) me: ok cool
(18:01) me: well i need to get running
(18:01) me: tty

I was glad to hear that ZPV is still going through with the attack, even though shady may have an elephant or 2 by then.

[regoarrarr]

T92 and 93 played - things going according to plan. I hope to make a bit more detailed post tomorrow, when hopefully T94 and 95 are played.

The barb warrior attacked the healthy axe, who dispatched him flawlessly. The barb axe ran away to a hill to the north where he does not currently threaten the settler.

That settler (and the 2 others as well) are in place to found next turn (T94).

Also T94 I will sail the ISS Adams into Spanish territory where I can gift it to sunrise and have him load up the missionary and send it back my way on T95. Conveniently enough, Hinduism spread naturally to Whitewater - score!

Hanging Gardens on track for T95. I noticed that although the forest said 24 hammers when moused over, it did correctly apply the 25% OR bonus and counted for 30 hammers. I believe I will be about 11 hammers over on T95.

Whipped a worker at Whitewater - it now has 43 turns whip anger . Definitely need to lay off there.

I chopped another forest in Cincinnati - this will get the 2nd workboat (for the red / horse city) out next turn. Both Cincinnati and Green Twp will grow next turn, both to size 6, just in time to be HG-ized to size 7 the turn after.

[regoarrarr]

Email I sent to the G5 (not ruff)

So I had an idea that I thought I'd share and see what you guys thought. I know that I've talked about it a bit to some of you but I think that we should agree on this and implement it soon. With many of us finishing up a tech, it seems like a good time.

And notice that I am sending this to just the original 5 of us - not ruff. It's not that I don't trust him necessarily, but I see his role as the same either way.

What I'd like to talk about is taking city specialization to the next level and that is civ specialization. Basically some of us run gold and some run science and we just all swap all techs. That lets one civ build the science buildings, and one civ build all the gold buildings (markets, etc).

My original thought was that Broker and sunrise run gold, since they have the self-founded religions that should eventually get shrine income, and ZPV and me run the research. That leaves the Lins and ruff as "the heavies" - focusing on military. Ideally Broker and Sunrise could produce enough gold at 100% cash to let ZPV and I run 100% science each turn. I think that we could tech pretty quickly that way.

So anyway - what are your guys thoughts?

[regoarrarr]

Chat with ZPV

(3:30:34 PM) me: hey there
(3:30:41 PM) ZPV: hi
(3:31:00 PM) me: i assume you saw his immortal heading towards your lands?
(3:31:29 PM) ZPV: yeah. I presume it is just an advanced scout, but I will ask him what is going on
(3:31:51 PM) me: yeah
(3:31:57 PM) me: do you guys have ob?
(3:32:04 PM) ZPV: yeah
(3:32:14 PM) me: do you have anywhere to hide your NCs so he doesn't see them?
(3:32:18 PM) me: how many do you even have by now?
(3:33:00 PM) ZPV: I have 3 I think, and two 2-pop whips due to make 4 more in the next 3 turns, + however many my workers can chop
(3:33:18 PM) ZPV: I'll hide them somewhere, I'm not keeping them together yet
(3:33:26 PM) me: cool
(3:33:33 PM) me: so are you doing MC now?
(3:34:05 PM) ZPV: yes. due in 2 turns
(3:34:12 PM) me: cool
(3:34:21 PM) ZPV: 88 visible bpt :D
(3:34:24 PM) me: nice
(3:34:31 PM) me: i am founding 3 new cities next turn
(3:34:35 PM) ZPV: wow
(3:34:36 PM) me: so am expecting the research rate to be interesting
(3:34:40 PM) me: i have HG in 2 turns
(3:34:49 PM) me: so i figured i might as well get as many cities as i could beforehadn!
(3:34:52 PM) ZPV: that's good timing
(3:35:45 PM) ZPV: maybe you could build that road for trade routes with shady - I think they'll help a lot
(3:35:55 PM) me: yeah
(3:36:14 PM) me: i only am missing 1 foreign route
(3:36:21 PM) me: but will soon be short 6
(3:36:29 PM) ZPV: but that will go up to 7?
(3:36:31 PM) me: yes
(3:36:57 PM) me: so, i was thinking the other day that it might make more sense for our group to specialize our civs
(3:37:13 PM) me: something like sunrise and broker run all cash (since they have founded religions and eventually shrines)
(3:37:17 PM) me: you and me run all science
(3:37:20 PM) me: with them feeding us gold
(3:37:29 PM) me: and the lins and ruff be the heavies
(3:37:29 PM) ZPV: that sounds nice
(3:37:45 PM) me: and whatever techs you and i research we give to everyone
(3:37:58 PM) me: we could be going pretty quickly if we could run 100% nonstop
(3:38:29 PM) ZPV: yes. I'll get a GS next turn I think.
(3:38:43 PM) me: academy?

(3:38:43 PM) ZPV: planned to build an academy in the cap
(3:38:46 PM) ZPV: yes
(3:39:10 PM) ZPV: Are you getting one any time soon?
(3:39:36 PM) ZPV: or saving for a HG GE?
(3:39:36 PM) me: no
(3:39:42 PM) me: hand't figured that one out
(3:39:50 PM) me: i was thinking id use the 1st one on a sci
(3:39:58 PM) me: and then build a forge and run an engineer in the HG city for the 2nd
(3:40:07 PM) ZPV: that sounds good
(3:40:38 PM) me: probably start my scis soon, as soon as i turn research back on (possibly this turn)
(3:40:59 PM) ZPV: what are you like for calendar resources?
(3:41:06 PM) ZPV: I have silk and spices
(3:41:21 PM) me: silk dyes and bananas
(3:43:02 PM) me: so you have probably noticed that there do not appear to be any gold, silver or gems on this whole map
(3:43:27 PM) ZPV: I'm not all that surprised. They tend to unbalance a game
(3:43:58 PM) ZPV: unless everyone starts with one in their capital, in which case they change it completely
(3:44:59 PM) me: yeah
(3:45:15 PM) me: kind of stinks for the industrious civ with the cheap forges
(3:45:41 PM) ZPV: nah. They have Pyramids+GW, etc. to make up for it
(3:46:00 PM) me: yeah
(3:46:06 PM) me: and hopefully soon they'll be dead :-D
(3:46:24 PM) ZPV: how much do you trust Ruff?
(3:46:37 PM) me: 80%?
(3:46:48 PM) ZPV: that's not too bad
(3:46:52 PM) me: not enough that i'm sending him this email i'm writing about the civ specialization...
(3:46:59 PM) me: (i'm just writing it to the 5 of us)
(3:47:10 PM) ZPV: worst case, we give a civ with agressive praets a bunch of advanced technologies]
(3:47:20 PM) me: at elast he's far away from all of us
(3:49:02 PM) ZPV: I don't buy it that he's really looking to switch sides. But I'm willing to wait and see
(3:49:30 PM) me: he could certainly be playing both sides to an extent
(3:49:43 PM) me: i mean obviously he's not going to be on the side of the civ he attacks
(3:49:44 PM) me: say m-h
(3:49:56 PM) me: but that doesn't prevent him from still dealing with krill and dsp etc
(3:50:15 PM) ZPV: basically from his comments to me, I don't think he really wants to join our trading group. He could be playing both sides
(3:50:23 PM) me: what did he say to you?
(3:51:40 PM) ZPV: it was macro-scale metagamey stuff which made him steal my workers. I read that as krill told him about our alliance, and he went out to hurt it. I don't think that is what someone looking to get agressive on his neighbours and thus be forced to team up with that alliance would do.
(3:52:32 PM) ZPV: the first sentence above is what he said. The rest is my "reasoning"

[regoarrarr]

Well T95 has rolled over, and I apparently got the Hanging Gardens, judging from my score increase (wonder points + 8 pop points).

I have not logged into the game and won't till tonight but :dancing5:

I will try to write a bit more substantive post this evening or soon - I have a few thoughts on how things are going.

[regoarrarr]

Ran out of time for a more detailed post but I did in fact get the HG.

A few notes of diplomacy

chat with broker

(9:25:10 PM) broker0033: you around
(9:25:22 PM) me: yes
(9:25:41 PM) broker0033: Trying to figure out what to tech next
(9:25:46 PM) broker0033: you are going cs right
(9:25:57 PM) me: yes
(9:26:03 PM) me: due in 10 if i can come up with some gold to balance it out
(9:26:06 PM) me: what are your options?
(9:26:33 PM) broker0033: Well after the HA's that I am sending I can cottage the hell out of things and build libs to speed things up
(9:26:42 PM) broker0033: I am thinking engeneering but will take awhile
(9:27:00 PM) broker0033: either that or go the aest lit route
(9:27:10 PM) me: i think zpv said he was thinking of going for aest
(9:27:14 PM) me: but you might want to talk to him
(9:27:20 PM) me: i think he'll have MC next turn
(9:27:26 PM) broker0033: Cool
(9:27:38 PM) broker0033: would like to see machineary and eng personally
(9:27:41 PM) broker0033: gets my UU
(9:28:05 PM) broker0033: Was taking pictures and I am almost embarrased to post them
(9:28:17 PM) me: lol
(9:28:36 PM) me: i know you said you were against the specialized civs route, but if you and sunrise (or whoever) fronted gold, i bet zpv could do machinery in 10t too
(9:28:38 PM) broker0033: Going to be a tech monster lots of cottages are possible and I have the food
(9:28:39 PM) me: that would mean maces in 10t
(9:29:16 PM) broker0033: Well if he did that I could get Aest and then Lit should have things straightened out by then
(9:29:24 PM) broker0033: lins were thinking theo
(9:29:48 PM) broker0033: dont know about sunrise. Although sunrise and lins could still be fighting
(9:29:54 PM) me: still?
(9:29:57 PM) broker0033: I told them I was spent after the 10 ha's
(9:30:12 PM) broker0033: wont be able to reinforce need to grow
(9:30:32 PM) broker0033: If Krill comes he may be able to sustain a fight
(9:30:38 PM) broker0033: 9 cities is alot of production
(9:30:41 PM) me: i didn't knwo sunrise and the lins were fighting?
(9:30:54 PM) broker0033: I am assuming they will be fighting Krill
(9:31:04 PM) me: oh i got it
(9:31:12 PM) me: i thought you meant sunrise was fighting with the lins
(9:31:14 PM) me: gotcha now
(9:31:26 PM) broker0033: Ok that would have been bad news indeed
(9:31:29 PM) me:
(9:31:48 PM) broker0033: I am going to burn through my pop to get the HA's to the lins
(9:32:03 PM) broker0033: Once that is done I will have 3 worker pairs chop and cottage everything
(9:32:37 PM) broker0033: Libs everywhere except maybe 1 city
(9:32:44 PM) broker0033: they are cheap
(9:33:07 PM) broker0033: So after Aest and Lit I should be teching pretty good
(9:33:21 PM) broker0033: Looks like Ruff changed his mind
(9:33:39 PM) me: yeah not sure what's up with that
(9:33:48 PM) broker0033: Word of advise?
(9:34:20 PM) broker0033: Be prepared for an attack. He will wither go for you or me and I am a long slog through the tundra
(9:34:31 PM) broker0033: Water blocks him from Zpv I think
(9:34:48 PM) me: he's got to be 30 tiles from me at least
(9:35:10 PM) broker0033: Yes but roads along the way through allies
(9:35:34 PM) me: i'm more worried about imhotep (Declined to renew nap) and shadyforce (we already share a border and he's massing troops)
(9:35:34 PM) broker0033: no roads to me
(9:35:54 PM) broker0033: Ok worst case. Praets along with them?
(9:36:04 PM) me: yeah

(9:36:20 PM) broker0033: Two front war. It is what I would do
(9:37:05 PM) broker0033: Krill thinks he can take on me, lins and sunrise no problem. Think that is abit overconfident but why whouldnt he suggest the others attack the other way to keep you and Zpv out of it
(9:37:16 PM) me: yeah
(9:37:57 PM) me: i am building my military up over here. i hope you understand why i have not sent anything yet your way. i would hate to send say 10 HAs to you and find out they would have made the difference in me losing cities over here
(9:38:23 PM) broker0033: I am hoping we grind Krill to a standstill or possibly push him back a city or two while I build up
(9:38:39 PM) me: yeah
(9:38:51 PM) broker0033: I really think he will be surprised if I have a stack of 10 HA's there cant be expecitng that from me
(9:38:57 PM) me: right
(9:39:05 PM) broker0033: I am last in most demos but that is because I have been whipping like crazy
(9:39:21 PM) broker0033: If my HA's can shread his cats it should stall his attack
(9:39:36 PM) broker0033: Just need to hit out of the fog
(9:40:07 PM) broker0033: If he sees them he will not want to be in striking distance. He will know they are 5xp and think of the flanking 2 suicide attack
(9:40:44 PM) broker0033: Now perfect would be if he moved up to a city. and lins could hit with a couple suicide cats first
(9:41:30 PM) broker0033: may not be good at the game but I do understand strategy and tactics and I am not stupid
(9:41:58 PM) broker0033: Talked Kalin into backing off krill early couldnt of helped him at that time
(9:42:20 PM) broker0033: Cover your side hopefully the 3 of us can handle krill
(9:42:39 PM) me: i hope so
(9:42:52 PM) me: i'm glad you seem to not be as pissed at me as you were the other day
(9:43:01 PM) broker0033: I was irritated

You'll have noticed I sent a worker to the hill to road and hopefully connect our 2 empires by road. So if you have any recommendations of good restaurants or hotels, I'd appreciate it!!! :-)

PS - I see you seem to have Currency already - what's next on the docket?

Email to ruff

Ruff,

So Broker was mentioning that you declared war on m-h, and then are at peace again now? Was that the issue that you were referring to in the email / issues thread? What's up?

And I see that you already have Currency - are you still planning on taking part of the G6 or whatever we call it? Someone gave me a word of advice to watch out for you attacking me. I'm not particularly worried about that but I did think it was interesting.

In any case, I hope to hear from you soon
