President thread- Term 3

[Robi D]

At least we are not last in production

Have a look in the UN please.

Since I am dual installed, I have no problem with either version. I will need to be with 1.61 for awhile anyway.

Dear Thunderfalls!

After a long discussion we can make a concrete offer to you. We can
trade Philosophy against Mathematics and Music. It's an equal beaker
trade, so both our nations will benefit. We will finish music in about 7
turns, but if you agree to the deal, we can send you mathematics during
our next move and we will finish the transaction later on.

Seems like a good idea, now we should probably start shopping philosophy around, we should make sure that there is a non trade on philosophy for about 10 turns. Maybe we can subtly hint for them to stop calling us the 'thunderfalls'?

In the turn, i whipped an archer in Victory city but thats about it, might be a RNG jobby for that as to whether we win or not.

Any news on that peace treaty?

I'd like this to be in their box when they go to get the save so I need to send it soon. Hopefully some of you will have time to give some feed back before then though.

To Lucky and GCA team,

Just as you predicted this war has failed to achieve any of what we hoped for. The initiative has now passed to Yellow Destiny. Considering our relative positions your efforts will likely prevail were ours could not but considering our relative positions the rewards may not be worth the effort.

We have had time now to consider our blame in this war and to reevaluate your treatment of us prior to it and would like to try resolving our differences over a chat if you would be so kind as to give us another chance.

Looking forward to meeting with you all,
1889 of CFC.

Also if any of you have MSN contact info for any GCAers please pass it along to me by email, PM or post.

I like it.

 

[BCLG100]

Yeah seems good, i don't have any contact with anyone from GCA- i knew some of the older crew but i don't think they're still active/involved in the game.

Sorry, typing isn't my native language.

 

[classical_hero]

Great news, as we are now the founders of a new religion. We are Taoist. The holy city is BCLGland. We now have many opportunities for trading, so I will post some pictures for our Foreign Minister so that we can get some good deals from it. Here is the picture of getting that tech.

 

[BCLG100]

Cheers for playing the save CH, i don't leave till the weekend so coulda grabbed it but thanks anyways

 

[classical_hero]

Well we were overdue at any rate.

 

[1889]

GCA has asked about setting up a chat (see the GCA communication thread). I'm starting a thread to discuss peace terms. Please post your comments in the Swords to Ploughshares thread.

We also should have a settler being ready to settle shortly, the sign says on the horses but i wouldnt really bother there as it wastes a good tile to work, possibly the tile north west of it.

there should also be another settler built soon after that, sending it all the way down to the iron south of us is just plain stupid- maintenance costs would cripple us! so its tricky where else we can put it!

 

[classical_hero]

We need to focus on getting our economy up and running, since have absolutely no economy right now.

 

[1889]

Site 3 was originaly chosen before we could see horses. Moving it 1 tile diagonaly so we can work the horse tile is good. I'd be fine settling Site 1 with the other settler. It should have good growth, low maintenace and average production (for this map). Build 5 cottages and we'll be on our way.

As for our economy, we can boost our GNP more than 50% just by changing the tiles we work.

I bet well be up to 6th place in under 10 turns.

LOOK OUT ISDG CFC IS ON THE MOVE!

 

[BCLG100]

Getting bearo would help also.

 

[1889]

The new save is in (a .zip this time so no problems) I took a look but didn't play.

EVG wants to trade maps. No doubt to keep track of the war.

No change on that front. GCA made an assault on Victory and now we have 3 spears facing 2 keshiks a very wounded crossbow and 2 wounded axes.

We got Compass and Lit from CBR for Philosophy and should maybe try trading Philo to GWT for Calander and Currency.

Also CBR just got Feudalism. Can we tell BAT we don't need to trade now? Didn't they do that to us a few times already? Another way of backing out of our deal would be to just change research until BAT gets tired of waiting for us.

 

[BCLG100]

We already have a deal in place with gwt, math and music for philo

with cbr they said they wouldnt be able to trade fued for 30 turns didnt they, as machinery is a tech pretty much everyone has now we may as well go through with the deal.

 

[1889]

OK. We should try and use up the full 24 hours on this save though. It would be kind of a shame if GCA has time to capture Victory before we have a chance to negotiate with it on Monday or whenever.
