AFAIK, you don't know what its like to play mp (pbem in this case) as its against a human who is unpredictable (col), or in this case them two. Good luck Gainy, but I see your death soon and its gonna be Boots vs Strider very soon.
That's true, in my other PBEM (out of 2 including this) i'm still in BC. I thought I could take people's word for things. I had a warrior outside Boots' EMPTY capitol in the early game, and didn't take it even when he declared war on me. I could have got a worker also... This was only because we had this peace treaty (which he paid me 5 gold), and he accidentaly delcared war on me...
Guess i'll never trust him again.
I had a spearman built before you could have taken the city, though not before you could move one tile away from it. I only moved the troops because of a deal with Strider, and I have half a mind to ask him how this happened:Originally posted by Gainy bo

BTW, I'm only doing this because of an alliance with him after you threatened to take his newly gained city, and you kind of forced me to extend our NAP by threatening to attack me instead of Strider. As soon as that happened, I was between you and him diplomatically; honoring one deal would mean breaking the other. I didn't mean to move them for the next few turns; those troops weren't supposed to be at your border at this moment. I have no idea how they got there before they were supposed to; I don't remember moving them. But anyway, I am at least halfway honorable, even if that half is with Strider and not you.Ok, an update (and some screenshots) Gainy, boots, and I have agreed on a peace settlement.. under some certain conditions...

I was already going for the Indians, then Strider took Dehli. Hence, I left my (single)archer OUTSIDE his territory.
Secondly, it wasn't me who declared war on Strider, he was the one who declared war on me -- my understanding for your agreement was that if I attacked either of you, then you would stick together -- well, I didn't.
The purpose of your NAP, as I understand it, would be to control agression. A more effective way of controlling my agression would be to actaully tell me that you've got one of these under the table deals going on, then I would know that if I were to attack either on of you (Note: Which i didn't do), then you both would declare war on me.
I don't see how y'all wanted to have a peaceful game when you two were the ones who were declaring war. Then are demanding money for peace. Something else to add, why did you accept my offer for peace (before I offered) if you knew fine well you were going to break that deal? You could have said...
I knew this, I was just looking for sympathy from the onlookers![]()
Gainy... first off... I had told you that I had force's near Delhi ready to attack several turns ago... second... your archer DID NOT show up intill 3 turns AFTER the city was taken. Not only that, but you threatened to take the city from me, then acouple turns later a vetern archer shows up outside my terrority
Gainy, a simple warning from me though... you move any units (settler or otherwise) within 5 tiles from any of my settlers/main cities. I'll remove it.... Nothing is coming near me.

And I find this funny coming from you both, seeing that you claim that you want a peaceful game...
