Okay... How about:
Quote:Shoot the Moon,
We notice you've researched some impressive military techs and that your power is increasing steadily. Is there any reason for us to be alarmed? We hope you agree that neither of us are amongst the current favourites in this game and that conflict between us would be inconclusive and mutually detrimental.
Sincerely,
nospace
Shoot the Moon's latest techs were Polytheism and Civil Service.

Badum tish.
I like the innocence of your message, so feel free to send. We can use "Your roading & forting is not exactly subtle, is it?" and "Attack us now and we'll soon be raining rifles on yo' ass" another day...
And on the sixth day, god created Manchester.

Okay, message sent, titled "Cause for concern?".

This is why it is confusing for us.

Shows we've done a good job playing a different game this time around.

Yeah. Doesn't make it easier to play.

You mentioned Notre Dame in chat, which requires Engineering. (Why did I think it required Music?) Will our GE build it from scratch? I presume so, since I can normally rush-build the Taj Mahal and that takes more hammers.
Where does Engineering fit into our tech path again?

This from rego made me jump momentarily:
Quote:Hi guys,
As you'll see when you get the turn around, we have declared war on you.
Errr..... what I meant to say is that you will see that we got a great prophet :-). Fairly low odds but there we go. I seem to remember you saying you might be interested in purchasing a prophet from us should we get one. I don't know that we went in to specifics or anything, and of course we do have the option of using that for our own (secondary) shrine, but if you're still interested, we're open for offers
Let me know
dan.

And chat with rego:
Anything we could offer for a GP. I'm not that convinced a GP is that good now. It would ultimately be about 40 gpt, I guess, so it would take approximately 25 turns to match the GM trade mission. And a GE has less value to rego.

Yeah I don't know. I guess a GP is slightly better than a GE for us at the moment, if Rego would be willing to do that trade? Although you're right that the shrine is a long term investment. And we might want to think short term.
If I was Rego though I wouldn't bother with that trade and I think it's what we're prepared to offer? Or maybe we could offer him a fixed percentage of our shrine income, as a gpt deal?
Notre Dame would be somewhat useful and requires Engineering. Engineering might not be our top priority, but we will want it medium term as it's a prerequisite for chemistry which leads to frigates and scientific method.
Settling the GE in Capital and saving it for a golden age or a later wonder are also valid options.
