Thanks and yours I have a rogue unit running around near Dortmund ... he will assist you until reinforcements come for Franker attacks
What will you be albe to give for me for Horseback riding? I would like to make an offer so that we could be even after trading. What are you researching right now? I am researching Western Church, ATM.
Confusing these Danes are :crazyeye:
I am very close to Norse Trad (3 turns) ... I thought that you were to study all Norse techs and I was to study Western Church next ... but I will discuss what to research just before I get Norse Trad ... and because I'm very confused and you sort of had agreed to giving me Horse for joining you in war ... I will transfer the first 3 workers I capture as good will ... Satisfied?

Had to play again ... I was going to sell ... well actually gift a city to Cordova ... basically to stick it up the French ... but decided that it was against the spirit of the rules to do so as my single redlined defender was miraculously transported to the capitol ...

Am I overly concerned about rules or is this the done ettiquette in pbem?
