casey j says:
the piffle people dont want to give up machinery, im afraid
casey j says:
i think they want to just use our GM for CS and trade that to you with meditation. do you have a religion yet?
Simon says:
we already have CS....
Simon says:
we were under the assumption that you had already agreed to the tech deal
casey j says:
who agreed?
Simon says:
sorry?
casey j says:
i agreed?
casey j says:
or whomp or?
Simon says:
just opening up the forums
Simon says:
Did you find out if you guys can get CS from Innovia? I think we can get Currency from Epsilon to throw in the mix if you need trade bait, they have been knocking down our door to trade something/anything. We can send meditation this turn for a good will interest payment on whatever we decide to do
Simon says:
that one implied to us that you wanted to proceed with the trade
casey j says:
with what trade though? we hadnt worked out the details
casey j says:
you hadnt heard from innovia at that time
Simon says:
well hang on ill just check whether we have CS yet
casey j says:
i dont want to be a pain but we do have to vote on everything
Simon says:
no i appreciate that
casey j says:
if it was just me i would say sure lets do it
Simon says:
yup i know, im just checking if the deal has actually gone through yet
Simon says:
just speaking to dutchfire now
Simon says:
alas, we have already traded CS with them
Simon says:
and we now have it avaliable
Simon says:
unfortunatly if your not willing to trade machinery for it we're going to have to research it ourselves to hold to our end of the bargain with innovia
casey j says:
k we will see what they say
Simon says:
apologies for the mix up
casey j says:
i am for it but others arent
casey j says:
what about calendar for currency swap?
Simon says:
we can if it would make piffle happier force innovia to agree to a no trade further with machinery (ie so it doesnt get to epsilon)
casey j says:
hmm ok i will post that
Simon says:
we would prefer to trade machinery with you than self research it obviously
Simon says:
and also stop you wasting a GM on a tech the majority of the game already have
Simon says:
if you dont mind me asking what were the reasons for not trading machinery?
Simon says:
so you could have a monopoly on maces?
casey j says:
i don t know, some didnt want to trade it
casey j says:
no iron
casey j says:
so no maces
Simon says:
im not sure what kind of crazy maces you build
Simon says:
Maceman
Melee Units 8 1 70 Civil Service
Machinery
Copper or Iron Rifleman
Grenadier +50% vs. Melee Units
Simon says:
http://www.civfanatics.com/civ4/info/units/
casey j says:
damn i thought you could build them with copper but someone else was yammering on about no maces
Simon says:
team piffle can have that info for free
casey j says:
ha
Simon says:
but if you can find a reason for not trading us the tech, aloha would be happy to answer the question
Simon says:
the only reason i see for not trading it, is that it makes it marginally cheaper for epsilon but now as we'll have to research it anyways it'll be cheaper soon enough anyways
casey j says:
well simon i want to, and you are right, but it is a pain to duplicate research when we could both be doing something for fruitful
Simon says:
exactly
casey j says:
*more fruitful
Simon says:
mind if i bring the bald one in?
casey j says:
yes
Simon says:
lol
casey j says:
bring him on i just saw him get on
