Research: Finish off drama. There's no point in letting it sit now just get it done gift it and move on. We should also finish HBR but not be in any rush to do so. Binary research isn't neccesary so setting the slider @ ~30%-50% is not a bad decision. I agree on the upgrades. Stockpiling gold...

Not exactly an ideal way to exit and tis a shame too. I'm happy to have the pause to resolve this however am worried that it may signal the end of the game......

My only thought is that the stack will require a Pikeman (or perhaps 2). Otherwise it looks like a solid plan. I take it we plan on capturing everything, i.e. no razing?

Yes, we absolutely did send the email with the attachments to CDZ. We can only assume that they read it. That would work if it wasn't a team game. I don't see it as necessary either. This situation will resolve itself. Killing time delays a resolution and that's not hurting us.

I don't think that we should be conceding that much in a message. It is also not proposing any solutions which leaves us reactive. Plus for us to DoW on Mavs means that we wouldn't be sending this for at least 5 turns. I'd wager we'll get another email from Amazons in that time (Condemning us...

They would have had to have Open Borders to gift the unit. A Caravel would have been a different matter. We can't see 'ereh Ro' from the screen shots we have, we need to move the Warrior in Pulsar Plateau out and back to have a look.

I've looked over the last few turns of screenies and I can't see where the galley would have come from. They might have produced it in 'ereh ro'. Unlikely but possible. It wasn't whipped unless they grew to pop 2 and whipped it before we took a screenie. That and they haven't had a score...

We're loosing too much time. We need to send this. At this point we don't need to accuse them of trading units. The money may be enough to throw doubt on their transactions. If we can confirm a unit trade we can press them on it later, after they come clean or otherwise. I think that...

Our allies are not going to trust us based on the fact that we got the GA to begin with. What we have to weigh up is: Are Sirius and Amazon going to kick us out of the ETTT based on this string of perceived acts of selfishness? On balance I think Amazons know they're bluffing and the real...

Maybe just as simple as sending the following then?

Whilst I agree with your assessment and analysis of the cities, I doubt that pointing this out to the ETTT will make any difference now. I think you're right in that they already had the letter pre crafted for a quick response. It seems to have arrived too soon after ours to be otherwise. As...

There is now a response from Team Amazon

For which Feudalism is a Prerequisite No matter which way you slice it there appears to be trading outside of the ETTT. As far as I remember the ETTT only covers tech trading outside the members as being a no no. The only other explanation for getting large sums of gold would be if someone...

Considering that it's now an issue for Amazon and by extension Sirius I don't think that rocking the apple cart is a good idea. We should be open to considering their opinion. If they aren't to fussed about how we use the GA then a culture bomb for sure.

I just logged in to get the Diplomacy screen shot. I was prompted to queue up Quatron and Resonance. As we don't have access to Iron I had to choose Catapults. Please remember to change it. Here's the Diplo Advisor screens for the last few turns. Turn 94 would have been great but based on...
