Fanatika - Where did everybody go?

Trade Embargos
Sign Trade Embargos at Iroquois with:
- India for 290 gold OR 16gpt with 2gold
- England for 307 gold OR 17gpt with 1 gold
These are the 2 nations that have excess rubber that could deal it to Iroquois. It is a hefty trade, but we can do more luxury trading with England to make up for it.

Zulu - straight up.
I think getting a Trade Embargo may get this other powerful nation more on our side.

Peace ReNegotiation (extortion - it has been a while). Get this amount of gold from them in renegotiating peace.
Babylon: 40 gold
China: 80 gold
Aztecs: 32 gold

I am presently shocked at the Iroquois declaration of war on us. FA is looking into the matter. I am ashamed that it occured during our time of low gifting to them. I assume that is partly the reason. I guess we found Hiawatha's price and how much he cries when he does not get what he wants. I am moving Iroquois down to a Suspect Nation for their sneaky tactics in abusing our ROP. They are only not a Rogue State for their good history with us up to now.

We have built the UN! I am opening a thread to discuss a possible strategy of using the UN for victory. It is not our preferred VC, but I think it deserves a thread. In the meantime, we shall reject all UN voting opportunities.

Establishing Spies. Please vote in the upcoming polls for the next round. I think the best way to attempt a plant is to try one planting of a spy every 2 turns in order of most supported down to least supported (as long as they have greater than 50% support each). For example, the nation with the highest approval rating would go in turn 0, the next in turn 2, etc...

A spy was established in the Iroquois nation for 99 gold last turn so no poll will come for them. Please ensure you consider the following when you vote:
- Risk of drawing war against us.
- Cost in gold (not only each one, but all together).
- What possible benefits there would be and how valuable it really is to us.
- Diplomatic relations and rank the other civ has with us.
- Our Victory goals.
 
I agree basically with the entire proposal chiefpaco. The Trade Embargoes with India and England sound good with the larger GPT offer. The Domestic Department will be lowering the Science rate to increase income because of the large amount of Offerings. The large up front gold prices would reduce our bank a little too low if we have a wide acceptance of Offerings.

I like the straight up deal with Shaka and the peace Extortion plan. I'm still a bit iffy on spies, but this is war time, so I'll support your judgement on the matter.
