I popped in to check out the game and there was a message from plako, asking for 5 gold so they can finish math next turn.

What happens when we end up in a 3 vs 2? Do we have a realistic chance of winning if it's just Saturn and us?

2v3 definately gives us a realistic chance if we're good enough.

Krill · Jun 17, 2009

Depends on what Kaz throws at us, and how quickly Saturn gets taken out. Saturn aren't that good and Cav could end up killing them in 20 turns.

Memphus · Jun 17, 2009

@AT I hoped you gave it to them?

AutomatedTeller · Jun 17, 2009

I figured we could do it at any time, since I got the message after it was our turn anyway.

AutomatedTeller · Jun 17, 2009

Did we give Saturn 5 gold? I didn't.

It's in the turn update

Memphus says:
also an interesting move if you figure you will lose your city for sure, is to move out your unit. and then heal and recapture
Lord says:
yeah, exactly
Lord says:
that's what we're planning
Lord says:
though I would have thought it was this turn we lost it

What's this about :confused:

Memphus · Jun 17, 2009

Saturn is losing thier city in the NE (with the silver)

that is the one we told them 2 barb axes and asked if they wanted the chariot to stick around. They declined.

Well as it turns out thier turn player (plako) didn't change builds to and archer so they can't :whipped:

it out. Thier Immortal can't take both axes so they are giving the city up.

Big OOPS..........

Krill · Jun 17, 2009

Yeah, Saturn aren't that smart...I'm not sure which I would have prefered, a Saturn that I thought we good, solid players who just got a little unlucky in the early game, or this shambles of a team that can't plan, can't think, and probably can't survive.

AutomatedTeller · Jun 17, 2009

maybe we should send our chariot down to help them out anyway - take out one of the axes, so their chariot can take out the other?

Krill · Jun 17, 2009

Our chariot is currently defending Rhea for them (and we offered to help them out again if they give us directions).

FYI Saturn sent this to KAz (it is in our Gmail)

Sent the following to Kaz, for your information.

Greetings Kazakhstan,

Unfortunately this year we come to you with some bad news: we have decided not to trade Feudalism to you at the present time. Let us make it clear right at the outset that this does not necessarily mean that we wish to cancel the deal completely - however, we wish to postpone it for the time being. I can assure you that this has not been a light decision, and there has been a great deal of debate amongst our team regarding this matter. Let me take this chance to enlighten you a little on our reasoning.

For some time now, we have been watching with dismay as you have blasted up the tech tree with Cav, leaving our poor nation in the dust. We were even more dismayed recently when it became clear that you had invited the Mad Scientists to join your tech trading group. This in particular made it clear that you were obviously and deliberately trying to exclude Saturn - perhaps because you or Cav had us on your "hit list" of nations to conquer.

Frankly, at this point the game is not even close to balanced, to the point where almost seems a joke. You and your two partners have an insane technological edge on the world, which no-one else can hope to compete with. Additionally, you have made Feudalism next to worthless for us in terms of trading value. MS and Cav have responded to our many trade requests with complete and utter silence; in fact, the only time we heard from Cav in recent times was when they enquired about the Feudalism deal we had with you (no doubt wondering when they could expect it'd be passed on to them as a freebie). In hindsight, the reason is obvious: you were planning to spread it around to your buddies, just like Civil Service and all those other techs have spread like wildfire between you.

In short, we cannot with a clear conscience pass a powerful military tech to you when you have so clearly aligned with two other nations and are warring with the only remaining nation besides ourselves. Simply put, this would irreversibly skew the balance of the game, and make it even more of a joke than it is presently.

Regards,
Lord Parkin of Saturn

Very straight to the point! I like it a lot!

IamJohn · Jun 18, 2009

Krill has a like-minded friend!

AutomatedTeller · Jun 18, 2009

a well phrased letter.

Memphus · Jun 19, 2009

With LP from Yesterday (I was talking to him right before our turn) I also Talked to DMOC a little bit in the game.

Spoiler :

Krill · Jun 20, 2009

From MS to Saturn

Greetings Team Saturn,

Despite your likely annoyance at past communication difficulties, the Mad Scientists would
like to discuss a possible exchange of knowledge. As you may know, we hold the secret
of bureaucratic organization embodied in the technology of Civil Service. Our people are
interested in learning the secrets of Feudalism to help with management of our far flung
empire, and Archery for defense against the uncivilized barbarians who roam the earth.
Would this trade be appealing to you?

Our committee has not applied its rubber stamp yet, so we have not made an in-game offer.

Regards,
DaveShack of the Mad Scientists
