Peace with Egypt?

Stuck_as_a_Mac · Jun 21, 2003

The war is going in our favor, yes, but something new has come up. Should we pursue peace with Egypt for Monarchy, Contacts with X-Man, Hammy, The Chairman, 92g.

Repeat, thats

Peace with Cleo for Monarchy, Contacts with X-Man, Hammy, The Chairman, 92g.

Y/N/A Open for 48 hours

Yes, we have her beat, Fanatica has won its first war.

Rik Meleet · Jun 21, 2003

No way. We are not getting a profitable peace and Memphis is under continued cultural pressure from Thebes. And this is also a violation of what we've agreed upon, despite my numerous peace-pleas, we should not stopping before we have Memphis, Thebes and Heliopolis.

We will not get back tech-wise if we take this deal, but we will if we push Egypt to it's limits by first taking Thebes and then capturing or taking Helio in peacedeals. This is an opportunity to get back in line in 1 big hit if we delay the peace now. After we take Thebes (and maybe Helio) Egypt will offer us anything we want and since we are Fanaticans we want a lot !

Sir John · Jun 22, 2003

NO!!! Its good peace terms but i say that we need to take theebes and then make peace.

Donovan Zoi · Jun 22, 2003

Cool......my hotel has a LAN............!

YES

The only thing we are not getting from Cleo in this deal is Construction, which we can trade to the Aztecs once we get Monarchy. I must admit that I am surprised by Rik Meleet's uncharacteristic about-face regarding peace, as he is(was) a proponent of changing our strategy to meet new circumstances. Now he wants to lobby with the hardliners for a war that shouldn't have gone this far in the first place.

Given Rik's example, we will never get "profitable peace" because we will have to continue to invest in this war. This is the best we will get, so let's end this............please!

Falcon02 · Jun 22, 2003

Yes!

I feel this is more then enough to get peace, who knows these new contacts may be missing some of these techs we'll get and but have other's we need and willing to trade, thus making it more profitable then we even know now.

RECALL THE TROOPS, STARVE MEMPHIS!

AND RUSH CULTURE IMPROVEMENTS IN MEMPHIS WHEN WE CAN RUSH FOR GOLD!!

GenMarshall · Jun 22, 2003

Bring our troops home. We should start on the Culture Phase of this War, Build Temples in Memphis (If the Domestic approves of the rush)

Bootstoots · Jun 22, 2003

I voted yes to this. Let's end this war and focus on culture.

donsig · Jun 22, 2003

I have voted no. I realize the current administration did not start this foul war. I know the previous administration blundered its way to war but we must not compound the earlier mistake with another one now. The cursed Egyptians in Memphis will rise up against our rule and rejoin Egypt. Then our countrymen will cry for war once more after we have cut back on our military investment. Peace now is sheer madness. Let our legions press on to the gates of Thebes!

Stuck_as_a_Mac · Jun 22, 2003

Well.... we have a 9/9 tie.... If we dont get more votes soon, I'll have to interpret the darn will of the people...

Sir John · Jun 22, 2003

hehe... I would say that it is a good deal but its even better to just take out theebes first since we will loose memphis in a cultural flip if we dont...

Stuck_as_a_Mac · Jun 22, 2003

Im going to have to base a decision which effects the entire game on this... If by 2pm EST, this poll is still a tie, I will state the following:
Capture Thebes. Once this is done, the Egyptians will be severly crippeled. Once this is done, Sue for the following Peace:
Peace with Cleo for Monarchy, Contacts with X-Man, Hammy, The Chairman, 92g.
(If you can grab a WM or Construction with this, go right on ahead)

Sir John · Jun 22, 2003

Good decision stuck!

Civanator · Jun 23, 2003

I have cast the tie breaker

Sir John · Jun 23, 2003

CIV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE SOMONE VOTE NO ON THIS!!!!!!

Falcon02 · Jun 23, 2003

11-9 looks like the Peace-hawks win...

Though i am tempted to say try to take out Thebes real quick though, and I mean RAZE....

Stuck_as_a_Mac · Jun 23, 2003

I would agree with that... destroy the capitol.. THEN sue for peace.

Civanator · Jun 23, 2003

well, I was gonna vote Abstain, but then I missed the "NO"

Sir John · Jun 24, 2003

Good work people. becasue of ur voting we WILL loose Memphis in 10 turns

If that's what it takes to prove that this war was a bad idea from the start, then so be it. It would be another 6 turns until we can even consider attacking Thebes, most likely suffering the same casualties that we did in our conquest of Memphis. In Egypt's roaded territory, their Swordsman can move three times faster than we can, which entirely negates the slight advantage our Legions have.

I am tired of this war. It has dogged my entire tenure as President thus far. But today it will be over, as Egypt signs a peace treaty that will educate our people and introduce us to more of the world. To me this is more important than continuing a war that quite honestly hasn't been worth our investment so far.
