Has Aloha been doing any exploring? Should we update with a map swap?

 

[dutchfire]

How far are you guys away from discovering Astronomy. Piffle are going to cut us to shreads with their Galleons if we can't repel them soon.

Robi D, Aloha

How far away are we? 5 turns? We could reply that we're running into cash problems, and ask them for a short loan so we can complete it sooner.

 

[1889]

More like 7 I'm afraid.

Aloha,

We are nearly done with our celestial investigations, just 3 more turns. We have a galley sailing the northern route to you, but it left before we could load troops. Is there any way we could be of assistance?

Best of Luck,
Innovia

Thanks for the update.

Once we have Galleons we can force them onto the land where we have the advantage. Until then we are trying our best to hold them off

 

[1889]

Just sent this off.

Dear Aloha,

We've asked for Military tradition and should be able to send Astro next turn. That will conclude our current deals, lets get together to make some new plans.

Your friends,
Innovia

PS would you like a galley?

Propossed message to Aloha:

Dear Robi D and Aloha,

It has been too long since we have talked. I hope we can find time for a chat soon to discuss our future plans. In the mean time we would like to raise the question of tech trades. We now have printing Press and will soon have Education while you have Divine Right, Gunpowder and whatever you are currently researching.

We look forward to hearing from our friends,
1889 and Innovia

We haven't talked to these folks in how long? I though the personal touch might help, maybe we could send this to the team gmail account and to Robi D's personal box. I used my name but would anyone else like to volunteer as Aloha's ambasador?

 

[dutchfire]

I'd add the contact information for everyone who is available for chatting on our team, so they know how to contact us. (Until now, we only talked to BCLG, who's on holiday at the moment).

 

[1889]

I sent it along with my email and let them know that I'm also 1889 on chat, but you and Theo change your names all the time right?

 

[1889]

I sent it to Aloha's gmail and to Robi's PM box. Included my email and let them know that I'm also 1889 on chat, but you and Theo change your names all the time right?

 

[Theoden]

No, I always have the same chat name, but dutch seems to change it often.

 

[dutchfire]

No, I always have the same chat name, but dutch seems to change it often.

I'm young, versatile, vibrant and I don't have much else to do

By the way, we could get that one Camel Archer in their territory in like 5 or 6 turns IIRC. Getting that galley there might take to long as he'd have to detour.

 

[1889]

I thought that camel was going to explore Piffle.

 

[dutchfire]

that's fine with me too
wouldn't just the galley do for that though?

 

[1889]

I don't think so; I want to see the inland tiles too. (Espionage slider in 28 days )

Adicted?

Sounds good, and Piffle would notice a camel archer anyway, they might not be friendly afterwards

Real bad news from Aloha:

Hello 1889,

I don't know how we can go for a chat time, this weekend is full on for me. However i will put something to you now because honestly i don't think we will be able to last much longer. Piffle has opened up a second front. We will try to hold them off as long as possible.

We already have an agreement for Printing Press, but we are interested in Education. If you can also offer 100g we will give you Gunpowder and Divine Right. We are researching Engineering but we are not sure if we can finish or now but with the gold we can probably squeeze it out.

Apart from that if you could spare a unit or twenty it would be great. Also Epsilon and Piffle have Frigates so they are untouchable at sea for the moment.

If your happy with the deal please let us know so we can get things rolling asap

All the best
Robi D

 

[dutchfire]

we don't really need the deal for gunpowder+dr as we'll get powder from loco, and DR is basically useless.

 

[1889]

I wouldn't mind DR just to improve our score, but not really worth a trade. If we dropped science to 30% for 1 turn we can give then 100 gold then maybe they can finish engineering.

I'd be happy to give 100 gold to a dying team in hope of a foot in on the estate auction. Maybe we could ask our doomed buddies for a world made, techs that could help us beat Piffle to victory. How about two refugee workers in that galley?

 

[dutchfire]

sure, we could just ask them if they're willing to "part with some of their resources" to help our mutual effort. By the way, anyone knows where their members will go when they're dead? I think we could ask some of them to join us.
