Met Sareln. Had a nice chat.

8:37 PM me: Hi!
Still sleeping or are you on?
Sareln: Hey!
oh yeah
I'm horrible with the away messages
8:38 PM I should set it up to do automatics based on my activity TBH
me: yeah
I just don't bother with the away messages
really should
8:39 PM So....
Who else have you met?
8:40 PM Sareln: You, Illians, and a promise of Kuriotates <-- from Illians
8:41 PM then Illians popped Stasis and I got to determine how safe I felt.
yourself?
me: Wait
who is illian
and who is kurioates
Sareln: ooh
me: just you
8:42 PM Sareln: ah
Umm, I'd need to check the forums honestly
Selrahc is the Illians
Kuriotates I think is PocketBeetle...
me: k
8:43 PM you want an NAP?
8:44 PM Sareln: Yes
what sort of duration were you thinking?
8:45 PM me: Honestly, forever
but
probably more like until t40ish
8:46 PM and then renewing it
Sareln: 40 with renewal planned sounds good
t40
me: yep
Sareln: talk renewal on t30?
me: what turn is it right now?
Sareln: umm, I finished 12
8:47 PM and then sent 13 to the archduke
since I'm at the end of the play order.
me: okay
so talk renewal t30 sounds good
Sareln: cool
so NAP until t40, with a plan to talk about renewal on t30
good?
8:48 PM me: yep

Sareln: great, anything else to talk about?
me: hmm
if you find any other civs
8:49 PM and I find any other civs
we tell each other
how does that sound?
Sareln: Sounds reasonable
me: cool
8:50 PM Should we discuss the contents of the NAP, or just act on good-will right now?
Sareln: good-will for now
I have to run off to a graduation BBQ
or more accurately, want to run off to a BBQ :D
me: lol
go
:D
Sareln: alright, ciao!
me: ciao

Question for the lurkers: Is screenshot trading between us allowed before cartography?

Trying to set up a border agreement with Sareln, and its going to be a pain if we can't.

[Cyneheard]

It doesn't seem that it was discussed in your rules; regular PB and PBEM games have had different rules on screenshots, so there's no "set rule". Therefore, I don't think there's any reason why you can't send screenshots. However, you could post it in the IT thread, and see how the other players respond?

IMO, banning screenshot trading merely makes early diplomacy more complicated without really adding any value.

[Cull]

Popped two barb warriors 2SE of my capital, and a skeleton 1E of the barb warriors. Sareln also popped a skeleton this turn set. Yah for the spawns.

[Cull]

I'm screwed. Two barb warriors against a C1 warrior fortified in a flat land city plus a skeleton the very next turn. Don't think I can survive this. Fun game while it lasted.

[Cull]

I'm alive. Now I have a C2 warrior as well as a C1 warrior against one lizardman and a skeleton. That should do it.

What happened that saved you?

[Cull]

What happened that saved you?

First, the two barb warriors waited for a turn, which sort of helped, as I then started building a 2-turn warrior. They attacked, and, with great combat luck on the first battle(95% or something close). I expected that, however the second battle could cause me some problems if my warrior health got down below 2. It went to 2.4, and then the second warrior didn't even scracth him. Upgraded him to C2 the next turn, and a skeleton and lizardman now on the SE forest, as well as a new C1 warrior out of the gate.

Luck, aggresive trait, and overestimating the danger.

Not much going on here. Worker due in 4, working a flood plains and an irrigated rice at size 2. Tech at 80% (+2gpt) and can't remember what it's on (Mining due in 11 or something?). There's a CIII and a CI warrior both fortified in the capital.

Most important part of this thing is to move the scouting unit (really the only thing).

The scouting unit has CI, +40% hills defence, a dwarven promo and a promo that if it dies it passes on some experience to another unit. Not knowing where to move I thought I spotted a hills tile in the fog so figured I'd head there. I moved SW from the red dot and this is what I found:



So some questions. My guess is I survive against the goblin. There's a dungeon on the hill. What does that do? What if I move on it?

There's a goblin fort 1S of the goblin. What does that do? And again what if I move on to that tile?
