Slightly modified. We are teasing them with Metal Casting and nudging them towards Alphabet. I'm leaving the Oracle stuff in there. They probably know, but if they don't, I want to show them the benefits of being friends with us. I'm going to send this later today unless I get some objections.
Greetings Team Quatronia,
We will happily accept your non-aggression pact for the next 50 turns, so long as you do not aggressively settle near our lands. It is probably more appropriate to discuss this in more detail once we both have a better lay of the land. We look forward to building this alliance into a long-term friendship.
We do not yet have a way to exchange technologies either, but your willingness to share knowledge with us is very encouraging.
The recent construction of the Oracle has been a cause for jubilation for our people. The divine properties of the structure have taught us the secrets of Metal Casting, which we are willing to share. How close are you to uncovering the secrets of Alphabet?
Our land is scattered with brilliant gems and bogs of rice, and some strange blue substance that we have yet to find a use for. Wheat and clams would both benefit our people greatly.
Your scouts seem to have done better work then ours, since you are the first civilized people we meet. What we do know is that the land between us seems very large is likely a continent rather then an island.
Do you live directly next to us, or is there any civilization between us?
Regards,
Team Mavericks
