and so the tide turns:
i wonder how this will pan out.
Dantski Wrote:Had a look through emails I've had from CoW and found no agreements.
I have made peace with India, I will not be providing them with info on CoW for the next 10 turns
Sullla Wrote:Uh oh! Bad news for the mega-alliance! Dantski has cut a deal with us and we now have peace + an NAP that stretches to Turn 130! Full chat transcript below (it's pretty boring, but we'll post it):
Speaker (10:24:54 AM) has entered the room.
Sullla (10:24:54 AM) has entered the room.
Dante2585 (10:26:57 AM) has entered the room.
Dante2585 (10:27:05 AM): ahh outnumbered
Sullla (10:27:07 AM): hi dantski
Dante2585 (10:27:12 AM): hi you
Sullla (10:27:17 AM): watching the FA cup this afternoon?
Dante2585 (10:27:31 AM): watched s'hampton pompey already
Sullla (10:27:38 AM): who's your club?
Dante2585 (10:27:46 AM): bournemouth
Sullla (10:27:59 AM): sorry, I don't know about them - which division?
Dante2585 (10:28:06 AM): 4th tier
Sullla (10:28:12 AM): ooh, you're a true fan! haha
Speaker (10:28:15 AM): heh
Dante2585 (10:28:26 AM): anyway
Dante2585 (10:28:34 AM): id quite like peace ingame
Sullla (10:28:59 AM): well we'd be happy to do that - status quo antebellum would be fine
Sullla (10:29:09 AM): we'd also be happy to ally with you, if you'd like
Dante2585 (10:29:16 AM): yeah
Sullla (10:29:19 AM): we're prepared to offer you units in support against Nakor if you want
Dante2585 (10:29:27 AM): i realize you're likely to backstab me later
Dante2585 (10:29:32 AM): for choosing unwisely earlier
Sullla (10:29:41 AM): no, no, we don't hold it against you
Sullla (10:29:43 AM): honestly
Sullla (10:29:49 AM): you had to attack one of your neighbors
Speaker (10:29:49 AM): we don't harbor any grudge against you, to be honest...we are neighbors...you have every right to attack us, and you acted honorably
Sullla (10:29:56 AM): we just wish it had been Nakor and not us!
Sullla (10:30:07 AM): and you never lied to us, you were honest throughout
Dante2585 (10:30:19 AM): one thing i would insist on as part of peace
Dante2585 (10:30:40 AM): i would like to withold giving you unit info on others for 10 turns
Sullla (10:30:47 AM): that's fine, we understand
Dante2585 (10:31:06 AM): and at the moment i wish to build not make war with HRE
Sullla (10:31:14 AM): sure, no problem
Sullla (10:31:21 AM): we were just offering if you wanted assistance
Dante2585 (10:31:37 AM): id be happy to offer you a worker too
Dante2585 (10:31:43 AM): for the one i murdered
Sullla (10:31:48 AM): that's very generous
Sullla (10:31:52 AM): we appreciate that a lot
Dante2585 (10:32:09 AM): oh one other thing
Dante2585 (10:32:17 AM): wondering where my units would end up
Dante2585 (10:32:21 AM): if we made peace now
Speaker (10:32:26 AM): perhaps down the road once we've each gotten built up a bit, we might talk about trading your cheaper settlers for some fast workers
Sullla (10:32:33 AM): umm, I think they would go back to your land? not sure on that
Speaker (10:32:42 AM): which would help you clear out your jungle a good deal faster
Speaker (10:32:51 AM): they will be moved to the nearest neutral tile
Dante2585 (10:32:55 AM): well the worst of it is gone
Sullla (10:33:13 AM): would you like an NAP agreement? we could sign one if you want, or not if you prefer
Dante2585 (10:33:27 AM): i think a NAP would be a good idea
Dante2585 (10:33:37 AM): just to show i dont intend to attack you in 10 turns
Sullla (10:33:47 AM): sure, how long would you like?
Dante2585 (10:33:54 AM): i think its up to you
Speaker (10:33:59 AM): your stack between gettsburg and chancellors would unfortunately move NW-NW...but we would allow you to move them back through our land via road
Sullla (10:34:11 AM): umm, how about 25 turns as a starter?
Sullla (10:34:19 AM): would give us both some breathing room
Speaker (10:34:22 AM): the stack between antietam and fredericks would move onto the praetorians (i think)
Dante2585 (10:34:24 AM): what turn is it at present?
Sullla (10:34:32 AM): Speaker, do you know?
Speaker (10:34:39 AM): 109
Sullla (10:34:49 AM): maybe to like turn 130 or turn 135 then?
Dante2585 (10:34:50 AM): NAP to 130?
Sullla (10:34:54 AM): yeah, that would work
Dante2585 (10:35:19 AM): oh im obligated to return HRE to axes
Sullla (10:35:26 AM): return?
Dante2585 (10:35:34 AM): yes they loaned me 2
Sullla (10:35:45 AM): ok, that's fine
Sullla (10:35:48 AM): we understand
Dante2585 (10:36:05 AM): oh yeah and you've mentioned crydee is close to gao before
Dante2585 (10:36:22 AM): crydee was a barb city i wanted them to raze
Dante2585 (10:36:35 AM): and i settled gao when it was still a barb city
Sullla (10:36:35 AM): yeah, that seemed like a bit of a jerk move on their part
Sullla (10:36:49 AM): would you be willing to join the game and sign the peace treaty right now?
Dante2585 (10:36:58 AM): can do
Sullla (10:37:00 AM): ok
Sullla (10:37:12 AM): Speaker's going to join you in game
Sullla (10:37:21 AM): I can send you a nice email about all this
Sullla (10:37:33 AM): peace and NAP to 130, plus hopefully some future cooperation
Sullla (10:37:51 AM): we are game for getting some revenge on Nakor, who lied to us for a full month in emails
Speaker (10:39:25 AM): wow, those units surprised me
Speaker (10:39:29 AM): where they moved, i mean
Dante2585 (10:39:47 AM): the NW ones?
Speaker (10:39:53 AM): yes
Speaker (10:40:06 AM): i thought they'd move NW-NW, that being the closest neutral territory
Dante2585 (10:40:15 AM): oh well
Dante2585 (10:40:40 AM): now i have to prepare for a backlash from others
Speaker (10:40:54 AM): well, none of them are in much position to do anything about it at the moment
Sullla (10:40:56 AM): well what can they really do?
Sullla (10:41:01 AM): Nakor's army sucks
Sullla (10:41:06 AM): Whosit's units are in our territory
Speaker (10:41:09 AM): and we'll be there to help you if/when they can
Dante2585 (10:41:10 AM): well
Sullla (10:41:12 AM): Jowy and Kathlete can't reach you
Dante2585 (10:41:19 AM): as i said i dont want ot give you info for 10 turns
Dante2585 (10:41:28 AM): so i know one or two things
Dante2585 (10:41:46 AM): incidentally
Dante2585 (10:41:54 AM): would you like me to loan you any units?
Sullla (10:42:06 AM): I think we're ok, thanks
Sullla (10:42:10 AM): but we appreciate the offer
Sullla (10:42:25 AM): wait
Sullla (10:42:47 AM): sorry, Speaker faked me out there for a second, we're good
Speaker (10:42:58 AM): i was considering that hill skirmisher...such a nice unit
Speaker (10:43:05 AM): better than our unpromoted archers
Dante2585 (10:43:13 AM): can provide a few
Dante2585 (10:43:24 AM): obviously had a few spare incase you sent HA's past
Speaker (10:43:49 AM): well, if you have some lying around, we would definitely appreciate them
Dante2585 (10:44:07 AM): would be ones from gao
Dante2585 (10:44:20 AM): i think the one from my east stack might get preated
Dante2585 (10:44:40 AM): anything else you'd like to discuss?
Speaker (10:44:40 AM): i doubt they'll attack your units on the jungle
Dante2585 (10:44:55 AM): have to draft an email or two
Sullla (10:45:14 AM): I think we're good for now
Speaker (10:45:16 AM): ok sounds good.
Sullla (10:45:20 AM): but we'll stay in email contact
Dante2585 (10:45:34 AM): and try to make one of those RB game nights
Sullla (10:45:40 AM): absolutely
Dante2585 (10:45:50 AM): tis bad when im giving orders
Speaker (10:45:54 AM):
Dante2585 (10:46:11 AM): ok hopping back onto gmail
Dante2585 (10:46:14 AM): thanks guys
Speaker (10:46:14 AM): ok take care
Dante2585 (10:46:18 AM) has left the room.
i wonder how this will pan out.
