I talked to King Reno, and he said the following.
CDZ has no intention to inform C3B on them getting Astronomy, and thus present luxury trades. I kind of negotiated a technology advance information embargo of C3B.
They will not inform they got Astronomy, which means we will be the first ones, and if we play our cards right , the only ones to trade luxuries. We also plan to negotiate Feudalism versus one of their techs leading up to Astronomy, possibly theology.
A moderate version of a galley treaty, with a stand-by clause would also be quite conceivable.
Moderate Galley deal
1. We give directions to C3B galleys, and we direct these movements for a price of 2 gold upkeep per turn, and they inform us what they see from boat, and we inform them on all military action in the Northern theatre of war.
As a standby clause, we integrate a reciprocal non-aggression treaty, and an option to extend this to privateering, at their will, but still negotiated. In this latent agreement, but possibly active, we have already agreed on the bounty for sinking Brazucan vessels (30 gold) and an insurance (20 gold) if they lose their ship in battle, automatically forfeiting the upkeep paid by us. This also means a fast-track decisionmaking on our DP for deciding on these two galleys movements, outside all polling. The good thing with this clause, is that it lets CDZ decide when they feel ready to strike, yet provide us intel in the meantime and deprive C3B of double war happiness. I suggest that Rik, Matrix and me (I will chair this meeting) conduct this in European time, and post detailed accounts on the outcome, where we will vote over the finished agreement.
Privateer Agreement with 2 CDZ Galleys
Elephants for Silks luxuries trade
Feudalism vs Theology, possibly rest of Monotheism as a bona fide agreement (If we get Monotheism now, we also agree to make a research pattern agreement with CDZ).
With all this in place, I will also ask for a PsyOps treaty towards C3B.
