20:03 Falcon02 lovely
20:03 TheOverseer714 Yeah, I shoulda put a second defender there

20:10 TheOverseer714 In 2 turns, I can get the Saltpeter from Greece
20:10 Falcon02 only reason I didn't suggest it was that Liverpool is too large a culture flip risk
20:11 Falcon02 If that still holds true we can reduce them to 1 city (Dover) and send more forces on the English Front to Byzantine
20:11 TheOverseer714 Yeah, peace too soon would be asking for a flip
20:13 Falcon02 Dover isn't nearly as bad of a culture flip risk though'

[Cyc]

Oh, darn. Missed the Led Zeppelin.

On the West coast now. Reception/connection MUCH better. Too bad I was late. Decided to switch to Nationalism? Good move. Too bad about "Spring Festival". Way to pillage Byz Saltpeter. Going to go check the save.

 

[TheOverseer714]

I figure Nationalism is great trade bait, should we do a gifting up round. Steam Power is not as useful with our lack of workers.

We can also improve relations and get more gold by selling the World Map. Improving relations is the main benefit. If Alex pulls the SP, we'll need those Riflemen.
