abukhir says:
hello
David says:
Dustin is one of our cfc citizens
holocanthe says:
hi
Dustin says:
Hello
abukhir says:
welcome
David says:
what should we start talking about first?
abukhir says:
Research seems the theme of the day
holocanthe says:
actually we finish Poly 2 turns
David says:
excellent. we are getting bronze working very soon too
abukhir says:
good work
abukhir says:
We will nead bronze working also very quicly
abukhir says:
We think it won't be possible to wait until alphabet for this one for example
abukhir says:
we should explain wich one are very important for us
abukhir says:
and define after that who search alphabet and what search the other
David says:
if you work to alphabet we will work to iron working
David says:
and then we can give you bronze and iron in exchange for alphabet and another tech
David says:
would that work for you?
holocanthe says:
there are barbare
holocanthe says:
so bronze is necessary for all
abukhir says:
and quickly
abukhir says:
we think it's impossible to wait until alphabet
David says:
hmm
abukhir says:
it's a long time to have alphabet
David says:
that is quite true
David says:
let me think. so we could both go for bronze working on our own
David says:
after that would you like to go to alphabet, and we can go for iron working?
abukhir says:
we will lose a bit of search, but it would be too difficult otherly
abukhir says:
yes it's a good solution
holocanthe says:
yes and after bronze we can go for alphabet
David says:
we can work out the details to make it a fair trade as we get closer
abukhir says:
yes, we can also exchange other tech around that
David says:
quite true. it would be a good idea that we keep in touch to make sure we don't research the same thing
abukhir says:
exactly
abukhir says:
after bronze we can share all searches between us
David says:
i very much like that
abukhir says:
if it works well, we could make a good alliance together
David says:
i think it would be best f we work on the lower half of the tech tree while you work on the top half. do you agree? and yes, I do think we would make a good alliance too
abukhir says:
the qualification would not be so far after that !
abukhir says:
we can fix that for the moment, and rearrange after
David says:
that is fair, like I said we can worry about the details later, it would give us time for our people to talk
abukhir says:
we just have to explain clearly and have regular discussion
David says:
I agree
abukhir says:
where are you on the map ?
abukhir says:
we are on the left of the point where we meet
David says:
hmm, I am not sure if we can talk about this until we have map making, or is that just screenshots?
abukhir says:
there is a land mass at the north west of this point, our town is on the landmass at the south west of this landmass
abukhir says:
we cant share screenshots, but we can have discussion about it
David says:
ok, I just don't want us to get into trouble!
holocanthe says:
yes we have ask TD
abukhir says:
we had an explanation about that with rick
David says:
We are south east from where we met, it took many turns to get there!
abukhir says:
ok, so we can explore to the north ?
abukhir says:
north east to be clear
David says:
sounds good to me
holocanthe says:
so us south west and you south east
abukhir says:
difficult to be sure
abukhir says:
you can explore to the north east or west (we know well the south west of the meeting point)
David says:
we will do that, then we share our maps when we get the technology to?
holocanthe says:
yes
abukhir says:
very good
David says:
very smart idea
holocanthe says:
and trade with money
holocanthe says:
no currency in english
David says:
if things go well with us, and I hope they do, maybe we can trade resources by boat or build a long road too
abukhir says:
depends of the map
abukhir says:
but by sea would be easier
David says:
you are probably right
David says:
lets see. anything else you wan to start talking about?
abukhir says:
it seems we saw everything
abukhir says:
next search for you will be iron working ?
David says:
i am not sure if its the next one, but it is in our plans
abukhir says:
ok, so inform us when it's sure
abukhir says:
for us, it will be bronze working
abukhir says:
and after that, we will inform you
David says:
very good, we will let you know
abukhir says:
please, contact us if you have another alliance with someone
abukhir says:
we will do the same
abukhir says:
even if it's war...
David says:
we will keep you up to date with our diplomacy
abukhir says:
ok
David says:
fantastic. it was very nice talking to you all. And now its my lunchtime!
David says:
Byes!
holocanthe says:
11 pm here
abukhir says:
have a good lunch !

Main points will be in the next post
 
here are the main points
  • They claim they can not wait for alphabet to trade bronze working, we will lose out on that deal
  • They will be going for alphabet while we can work on the south
  • They are west of the point where we met and were somewhat specific
  • They want us to explore north, while they work on the south, and then trade maps when we get the tech to do so.
  • They have not yet made an alliance with another team, or war.

I worry that they may find our location, but due to the distance I am not so concerned. I think that we should scout "north" in that we take a northern route to find their city ;)
 
One reason BAT is so friendly is because they are probably scared to death.

Their power is still only 3000 soldiers. It looks like they have the one Quechua exploring (did he turn around and head home after contacting us?) and have so far built only one more.

Their techs are Agriculture, Mysticism to start and have researched Fishing and Polytheism.

Lets be friendly but lets also be sure not pledge ourselves to defend a weak ally.
 
We will defend them...just not kill ourselves trying if tehy are that weak.

They are going for alphabet..not alot of power in that string of techs. Right now they are vunerable...and so are we since they are gettign us a good tech

But we want to take a weak team to the finals. That way our victory is that much more easier.


No we dont, we want to take a team who's play style is weak not a team who is weak militarily in this game, a weak team is a liability.

it doesnt matter whether they are militarily strong this time or not as the next game is a new one.
