[Spoiler] Jowy then Ruff's Rome

Just because SevenSpirits doesn't have a physical unit next to the city in question doesn't mean that you can sell it away to avoid being captured. This definitely sounds like it's going against the spirit of the rules agreed on in this game, and it's rather petty to boot. Gifting/selling cities away to a third party when you're at war should not be done in these games IMO. I felt strongly enough about this to write it into the ruleset that they're using over in the newest Pitboss game.

Or, to put it another way, would you be making this deal with Nakor if you weren't losing the current war? Do you really think you're acting in good faith here?

Seven is making no attempt to approach, let alone take my land locked cities. I need iron to combat his units and I am using what assets I have to purchase said iron. If Seven was making any attempts to actually invade me or wipe me out, then I wouldn't be talking about trading the city away.

Edit: just looked at the save and Nakor rejected my city / iron trade. Instead he moved some of his UU (Knight) units up and looks like he will be attacking me soon. Guess iron is not coming and I get to spend the rest of the game building archers. And whipping my cities building them.

So, why Stanley?

So, why Stanley?

I'll provide an update this week end. It might be a huge weekend for updates.

Another Another Fine Mess you have got us in, Stanley

[Ruff_Hi]

Well, I'm assuming that you have read that Seven launched a galleon based, maced fueled attack against my island cities and took 2 of them. Since then he has razed a few coastal cities but hasn't really pushed the war.

Nakor got involved and that was a similar no contest - knights v archers.

I am now down to 1 city and they don't seem to want to take it from me. The game has also asked me to complete the sports quest ... um, ok. Also, I wasn't the first eliminated - that honour went to Babylonia.



So - the question for the lurkers - is it kosher if I resign and let an AI finish the game? It will make the pbem game go a little faster too.

I don't see why not. You could just ask in the tech thread, though.

Looks like events were on afterall!
Thx for covering for me Ruff! I'm sorry if my description of the game didn't fit, I really thought I was in good position.
