I think MIA made it clear to Donut that writing was off the table, hence us researching it, but we probably shouldn't give MIA CoL or philo yet (which they really don't need). Then they can start on Mapmaking and it will look transparent when we get techs from MIA. This will likely need to be explained to MIA that we will gift them CoL and Philo as they finish other techs. Then it looks like we are tech trading with them.Nikodemus said:That's one concern. Another one is that (if i've understood correctly) MIA has let Nuts believe we don't really have that close a relationship. If we both learned writing on the same turn it'd look a little contradictory to say the least. So I'd find out if MIA needs writing right now.. if they don't, delay sending it to them a little.
