guys- i know there is 'alliance' tech trades going on and i don't need you to specify every little tech you are trading in your orders but i do need you to say, "trade my techs to my allies" or something along those lines.
for trading with others where its not so simple and specific techs are being traded, please tell me what you are trading- even if i have an e-mail from 6 days ago buried with the outline of an early proposal of the trade, you HAVE to write the trade in your orders.
Also, if you are expecting to recieve a trade route, please indicate as much in your orders. the trade section says you have to say, "let such and such trade with my people" for a trade route to be established.
sorry to hound on you all but its not like its something new that i am just bugging about now- its always been this way (always had to include stuff like this in your orders)...
I dont know if you intended to 'forget' or if you actually did forget; i don't know if you are playing little games or not... and i shouldn't have to refer to past e-mails when i process your orders. You have one set of orders to do... i have to process ~14 nations (including NPCs). if i have to go back to old e-mails for all of them, its a collosal waste of time for me and i simply won't do it.
if you think i am specifically talking to 'you', you're right, but i am also talking to about 4 others... so don't sweat it; just write better orders :shrug:. I know i sound like i am upset, but i'm not... i'm simply giving you your LAST warning and next turn i will do EXACTLY what your orders say without worrying about what you 'forgot' or 'meant to say'. Like i said, i don't feel upset. I am just lazy so i wanted to warn you before i started to be super lazy.
Okay... having said that... to all those who took the time and made the effort to write proper orders, thank you very much... i love the time savings you provide.
