I just worry that we were burned by misjudging him before.
I agree that we should be able to hold it off pre-galleons, but we need to be vigilant. Sentries or even a garrison on that plains hill island would give us warning if he would try. But all that is post India (February 14th, 2013, 12:01)pindicator Wrote: I just worry that we were burned by misjudging him before. Eh, I don't know if I agree with this. We always knew it was a possibility he would play it that way, but we figured betting that he would play that way was playing not to lose. So we risked it. This isn't really a risk, it's common sense for him to leave us alone for 100T or so.

No idea if the little countdown will work, but might as well. Thoth actually logged in for them last night after we sent that offer, so unless Thoth forgot to tell Commodore, they saw it. That's why I figured I'd pop in and sent it so they'd get the 2nd one when they login to play this turn. We're now 8 hours into the turn without a single login from India, so I'm guessing this means they won't end turn before the night is over. I hope this isn't the case, as I'd like to be able to go through the turn tonight.

 Wait, i didn't ever see the game but how did he take the city on the first turn of war? We had hills in front Edit: It was that 4-move galley, wasn't it?

It was common sense for him before too, what's the difference? I'm not sure I would leave us alone for 100 turns.

I've got to agree with Noble on this. This is Commodore; it makes much more sense to me that he sees our invasion of India as a red carpet.
Okay, I jumped in game and Commodore had offered us straight up peace. This despite having 5 workers within sight of his troops. So I'm much more inclined to think he's going to leave us be. I took the peace, of course.
And I was right on the galley. He had a pair of axes on board and we got some of our luck back from him: the first axe had 70% odds of winning but our impi won that battle; the second axe mopped up. With 10 turns to evacuate there is less of a pressing need, but still a need. Our catapult can pillage the copper mine for some money; i'm tempted to do it, but it may make more sense not to from a diplomatic point of view. IHOP is currently our capital - so it looks like cities that are in revolt are put to the bottom of the list. Maybe it's a good thing that India is about to capture IHOP
