Diplo for TNT

Whomp · Apr 16, 2006

It seems that TNT has taken this personally and peace is probably not likely anytime soon. Donsig seems to be calling all the shots and no one else has a say. I feel this will be their Waterloo...

Tubby will add the first part of the conversation when I was bounced out...

That's a very interesting conversation. It doesn't sound like they are approaching this with any logic or reason. Strictly emotion. A very poor way to run a country. (And that's coming from a member of an anarchy!)

I think this makes their movements make more sense. They are going to come storming right at us and kick our butt. We need to play to this weakness. I think it sets them up for our end around move even better.

So hey Bugs... wanna pick up the next save and play to their weakness? :devil:

we do have extensive trade routes

One more reason for going north and whack those costals.

Whomp · Apr 17, 2006

i'm with you 100% on that Daghie(another dagger to MIA as well). I think if we cut off those coastals they are d.o.n.e. done. We have the time to be patient in this process so there's no reason to be in a hurry but get the job done properly.

Thatta boy, Whompster. Patience and persistence.

Sir Bugsy · Apr 17, 2006

Remember that the trade route runs from capitol to capitol. If we go along the coast we may have to slice thirty tiles, plus those through Donutia while they are at peace. If we stay close to the capitol, we onlu have to slice nine.

Scout - I'll play the turn if you want me to.

Tubby Rower · Apr 17, 2006

Simon seems open to peace... Whomp & I told him that we could accept peace for a plot of land along the coast. I made sure to mention that we would continue the war until the peace treaty is signed.

Apparently Dinsog's suggestion of peace terms is to allow us to leave :lol:

. I literally laughed out loud at that one. Also some of their guys had no clue that foreign workers would work at 1/2 speed.

If you'd like to be the team's turnplayer for a bit, I'll gladly step aside and let you have a go at it. :hatsoff:

I think it can only help us to have someone else put their eyes on it in actual play.

City management things to think about: Jesterton will complete its market this turn, and is working a mined iron hill that could be shared with SKWTD. There are lots of tile-swapping opportunities between SKWTD, Gilfach, and Knucklehead.

Effing Whomping Rower will complete a worker next turn if the queue isn't set to walls or something. That will affect the 2 scientists I hired there...in turn affecting the research cycle.

Oh yeah - don't forget to put some short-rush shields into a Trebuchet or two. If we can complete 1 Treb per turn over the next 40 turns... MIA will rue the day they pick a fight with us.

Sir Bugsy · Apr 17, 2006

OK then. I have it. I will play and post shortly.

Any ship chaining things I need to think about?

You should be able to put your choice of a trebuchet/Gallic or Pike/Settler in Spite if you decide to found it this turn...

Most of the ships are a little bit out of position for good ship chaining... since I did so much shuffling to get a settler out of Dionysus and onto The Other Continent last turn.

You might want to consider swinging a Galley up our north coast to run settlers to the jungle coast in the west...

grahamiam · Apr 17, 2006

thank goodness i read this, i was starting to look at the save to play :lol:

go get'em bugs :hammer:

oh, and looking at the save, one thing I would like to add is that the roads thru the jungle need choke points with barracades on them. otherwise, if MIA captures a town, they will have all the jungle roaded for them and can get thru to our core no problem. throw up so barracades at key points and move the excess workers back to the core/fp core. the war with TNT looks like we're in for some classic back-n-forth. could be touch-n-go for a bit here

Whomp · Apr 20, 2006

I got this message from BCLG today. :confused:

Do we want to give them some lines of demarcation?

bclg said:
hey,

TNT recieved a peace treaty today from KISS however it wasnt accepted and had nothing on, so did you mean to send that and also have you got what you want written up yet?

Tubby Rower · Apr 20, 2006

Since Whomp is busy dealing with my swarm of workers in the mega-pitboss, I decided to make up this map for critique. I think that it's fair, considering that they want us to leave and we don't :lol:

Whomp · Apr 20, 2006

In words that would be

Discuss thoughts on this and ending the war...

Whomp · Apr 20, 2006

Chivalry? It seems BCLG would like to propose chivalry but no land. They may get theo from MIA reasonably soon though. Thoughts? This would go down as the shortest PBEM war in the history of PBEMs. :cool:

Tubby Rower · Apr 20, 2006

jack the lad (Seth){Care Bear}, whatever says:
oh ok, well were all ready to resettle

What in the world.. They are just holding settlers? I told Whomp, that MIA has both Chivalry and Theology . I'd be fine with two of the following for peace.

1. undisputed land rights
2. Chivalry
3. Theology

scoutsout · Apr 20, 2006

They're feeling cocky right now. They've got pikes that will cover their immortals against Gallic Swords... but if we can get some trebs into the action to wear down those pikes... and if we can get that combined arms force into a town (where their pikes can't heal) we will wear them down.

How sure are we that the Scientifics have Chivarly?
