hi
Bezig met SE's zegt:
dutchfire of Team Innovia speaking
Joe zegt:
hi
Bezig met SE's zegt:
how are you doing?
Joe zegt:
alright i think 1889 will be joining us
Bezig met SE's zegt:
I believe he was having some issues with his msn, but if he comes online, I'll add him
Joe zegt:
ok
Bezig met SE's zegt:
I believe you have accepted our resource trade?
Joe zegt:
Yes i think jeejeep accepted it
Joe zegt:
So what do we want to talk about?
Bezig met SE's zegt:
international politics? it looks like epsilon is running away with the game now while piffle and Aloha are fighting it out
Joe zegt:
Ok yes i agree epsilon is running away with the game
Bezig met SE's zegt:
what are we going to do about it?
Bezig met SE's zegt:
we could try to work out some sort of deal between our civs, as alone we won't be able to stand against Epsilon and the other teams
Joe zegt:
ok, how about a tech deal, we will research one set of techs you research the others and we trade them
Bezig met SE's zegt:
that would be great
Bezig met SE's zegt:
which techs are you thinking about?
Joe zegt:
Could we disscuss that later i was in a rush this morning and haven't got the relevant info on our tech progress, from what i know we can research replacable parts,chemistry after two turns
Bezig met SE's zegt:
sure
Joe zegt:
But i think both of us are last in the tech race so this will benefit both of us
Bezig met SE's zegt:
perhaps printing press for astronomy? (i'll look at the beaker costs now)
Joe zegt:
ok loading the game as we speak
Bezig met SE's zegt:
Astronomy is 2000, Printing Press 1600 according to CFC
1889 is aan het gesprek toegevoegd.
Bezig met SE's zegt:
hi
Joe zegt:
hi
Joe zegt:
i am also talking to dutchfire
1889 zegt:
Whew, still got time for this Joe?
Joe zegt:
Yeah i got longer than i had thought
Bezig met SE's zegt:
we were talking about possible tech trades
Joe zegt:
yes
Bezig met SE's zegt:
could you load the game 1889? To check which techs we all have etc.?
Joe zegt:
can you check what techs you have that we don't and vice versa
1889 zegt:
We have optics, astro, military tradition and are starting printing press
1889 zegt:
Loco has gunpowder
Bezig met SE's zegt:
only powder? not Printing Press?
Joe zegt:
do we have nationalism? sorry i can't access the game
Joe zegt:
We should have printing press a
1889 zegt:
we both have nationalism
Joe zegt:
We were reseacrhing replacable parts at one point i swear so we must have printing press
1889 zegt:
Well cool then we can work something out later. can we move on?
Joe zegt:
yeah fine
1889 zegt:
We would like to work out some way to cooperate toward a victory
1889 zegt:
othre wize piffle and epsilon have us both beat
Joe zegt:
Ok,
1889 zegt:
unfortunaltly there is no real way to sdo so
Joe zegt:
are you preparing to invade epsilon at some point?
1889 zegt:
unless we work together but decide wihich of us will win
1889 zegt:
such as un or tech partnering for space race
1889 zegt:
Invade Epsilon - No
Joe zegt:
We are happy to have a tech partnerships
1889 zegt:
Well thats great but no interest in UN then?
Joe zegt:
The problem with the UN is it might bring up unpredictable results, also the other teams will proberly abstrain
Joe zegt:
Although it might be worth going for it to control its usage
Bezig met SE's zegt:
I doubt UN will work actually
Bezig met SE's zegt:
we'd need 3 or 4 teams voting together
1889 zegt:
so its space race then, we can't conquer or dominate
Joe zegt:
space race is best for us
Bezig met SE's zegt:
we'd need to stop epsilon from achieving it though
1889 zegt:
how about letting missionaries into eachother cities?
Joe zegt:
we don't have the miltary to win wars
Joe zegt:
We don't have open borders, well we do but we are not allowed to send units though their land
1889 zegt:
we can spread our religions to eachother, a few more gold won't hurt
Joe zegt:
How about a spying campaign, taking out key resources to slow them down, risky though
Bezig met SE's zegt:
and spies come quite late
Bezig met SE's zegt:
but together we could have 6 spies in their territory, allowing for a lot of sabotage
1889 zegt:
sabotage costs money too right?
Joe zegt:
Excalty although i would expect they would know who had done it if the spies got caught
Joe zegt:
sabotage of improvment dosen't does it
1889 zegt:
i'll look it up in a minute. gotta feed the baby.
1889 zegt:
ya kinda expensive too, like 200 gold to blow up a plantation
Joe zegt:
really that much!!!!
Bezig met SE's zegt:
200? are you sure about that?
Bezig met SE's zegt:
at what settings was that (game speed)
Joe zegt:
I have to go in 15 minutes so if we run out of time we could arrange another time.
1889 zegt:
price probably varies but thats what it asked me for that game
Joe zegt:
ok so how else can we slow epsilon down
Bezig met SE's zegt:
not trading with them?
Joe zegt:
might help!
1889 zegt:
now i gotta change her diaper, i'll email you about those techs but do you want a couple galleys anyway?
Joe zegt:
yes please how much?
1889 zegt:
dutch can name the price or we can work it out later
Joe zegt:
ok
1889 zegt:
good chatting joe, lets stay in touch
1889 zegt:
thanks for the help dutch
Joe zegt:
ok nice talking to you!
1889 zegt:
soo long all
Joe zegt:
bye
Bezig met SE's zegt:
bye
Joe zegt:
How much do you want for the galleys?
Bezig met SE's zegt:
I don't know actually, they're 50 hammers, so probably less than that in gold
Joe zegt:
ok how about 20/30 each?
Bezig met SE's zegt:
(wait, what speed are we playing this at? Normal or Epic?)
Bezig met SE's zegt:
sounds reasonable
Joe zegt:
shall we say 25 each, i don't know how much gold we have so i we consult jeejeep on when we can buy them, might be a while.
Bezig met SE's zegt:
and I'll consult 1889 on when we can deliver them, I don't know where they are now
Bezig met SE's zegt:
how many would you want?
1889 heeft het gesprek verlaten.
Joe zegt:
we start with one and see how many we need, we might have to pay per turn.
Bezig met SE's zegt:
okay
Bezig met SE's zegt:
anything else we need to discuss?
Joe zegt:
no and i need to go
Bezig met SE's zegt:
okay
Joe zegt:
see u later
Bezig met SE's zegt:
well bye then , I hope to talk to you later again
Joe zegt:
ok bye
