I guess if we're considering it we could simply have them send it with a peace agreement. Question is do we want it or do we want more? I presume the worker is there so they can road into us. Should we ask for an extension to discuss?

Even in the best case scenario for peace, all we get is three cities max, a military tech we can't use for 40+ turns unless we attack the Nuts (which I am NOT proposing) and theology.
Besides, if they are holding settlers the unrestricted land rights won't help us much, they would fill it up.
Unless it is going to weaken us to the point of not being able to take on MIA, I am for sticking with the TNT war a bit longer.
They have not yet felt the wrath of the pillaging GS. Plus, with three pikes and a few trebs, we could secure a city on their continent, rush a rax and upgrade the GS after their pillaging is done. A core of about a dozen MI by the time we are done is a nice addition to any MA combined arms.
Besides, war sells newspapers

VERY SURE.. I opened the save in CA2 and MIA does have it. It can only be assumed that TNT does as well since their hoplites are in bed with TNT's wenches....bad picture I know but it drives the point homecigar man said:
We need neither of those techs to meet our objective of early Cavalry. Sure knights are a cheap upgrade but it is because they are expensive to begin with. Maces are the better buy all the way around.
Keep stiffening the expeditionary force and wait for TNT to commit themselves to the fatal blunder....then straight for the capitol with everything we can muster.

If they have chivalry, that makes their latest move make more sense. They are going to set up a colony on the horses, build some knights and come after us that way.

Better get pikes and trebs.
And/or some Mounted Warriors screaming up from the south might be nice. Have we discussed with the Nuts that possibility?

So are we still talking with TNT?
At the moment they probably won't give us any concessions for peace. We might want to offer them a steep price for peace. Say something like:
- Peace for 50 turns.
- TNT cannot settle east of any of their present cities
- They have to give us their next three techs that they research or receive on the upper tree.
- They are not allowed to research on the lower tree for the 50 turns.

@Bugs: I have no idea if anyone is talking to TNT. Most of the stuff I've read indicates this will be a fight to the death. 'sno biggie to me. Let 'em come with Knights... combined arms will carry this day.
I seriously hope they come after us at the soon-to-be-founded town of Spite. It will be their undoing.

I can send that.. I've been talking to BCLG100 about other stuff as of late. But I can bring up the war if you guys want me to. Just let me know and I'll PM him your proposal.
After all their first peace terms was that they let us leave

I was confused for a minute and was about to post that your sketch didn't show up. Then I was confused again and saw things more clearly after my second cup of coffee.

Apparently TNT is resettling already. I'll post my conversation with Simon (BCLG100) when we are done.

My condolences to Mrs. Rower on her loss. Even when it is expected it is hard.
Sounds like they are up for a discussion of peace terms. I'm sure they settled directly on the horses. Do we know whether they have chivialry yet or not?
If they settled, they probably aren't going to be attacking Spite anytime soon. That will give Scout more time build up some defenses.
Maybe it is time for a sneak attack on the opposite coast.

Ok the save is in our InBox I opened it up to see the new city, but there is no new city. Their stack is growing a tad. It is now located 1 NE of the horses.
Stack composition (total = 14)
2 workers
5 vet pikes
2 reg pikes
1 elite Immo
1 vet Immo
3 reg Immo
As far as research goes. CA2 is reporting their techs so I'm assuming that it is accurate. Only Greece knows Theology and Chivlary.

I just sent an e-mail to TNT and the game admins. One of those units is listed as "Farhad (0.0.1)". That might be a settler, not a worker. I asked for clarification.Tubby Rower said:

it's a worker... in CA2 it doesn't look at the custom names. it just says worker twice. I just double checked and there is no settler in that stack.

is that TNT stack on grass? If so, there's not much difference in GS vs Pike than Horseman vs Spear. If we have enough GS's in the area and they're not on a hill, I say we take a shot at it.

Sorry, I'm not very familiar with CA2 and the screen. Is that all the GS's we have (qty 9)?
