Team GONG Embassy

Good news indeed! Now the question is, what will they give in return?
 
Will be interesting to see what they offer. I hope we can still be trading luxes after we get hospitals built.
 
Proposed letter to GONG:

Dear wildmen of the GONGshow,

We noticed that you've lost a city to the Babes! :wow:
Would you like us to send in peacekeepers to help regain your lost territory? ;) ;)

On a more serious note – we've noticed that one of your boats has strayed into our waters. We'd respectfully request that you withdraw your sea vessel, and refrain from entering our territorial waters. We don't mean to be paranoid, but as you're aware we've "had a bad experience" with this in the past. :)

Thanks!
And congrats on the successful elevator. :hatsoff:

All the best,
General_W, speaking with the voice of The Council
EDIT: SENT! To GONG gmail

Thoughts on that?
I think it's best to start with a friendly note – and if they don't respond, then we can get aggressive.
 
Looks good.

I wonder if we need to prepare for a sudden break of our luxury trades? :shifty:

It would be awful to see our whole empire riot after losing two luxuries by surprise...
 
Should we be talking to GONG about FREE as the biggest danger? I'm not sure how to approach that, but it might be wise. I'm not sure I want to sign peace with them, but I'd like to see a dogpile on someone who isn't us....
 
How about talking to GONG?
Ask for MilTrad or alike?

I'd like to open this channel again.
Not too much effort however, just see how they react.
 
Navigation (just like Music) is only interesting if you build the wonder. They won't take it - or they already have it and build Magellan's. We need to offer something else but we could also ask.

I'm really surprised it's not built yet... :dubious:
Someone feels very save out there... ;)
When we research it, we should have our prebuild (in The Admirality) due the turn after... :old:
 
Should we pass on to GONG that there is a FREE invasion force near them?

I'm not sure we should - they'll find out soon enough, and I don't really want to upset a nation looking to attack someone before they've committed themselves ;)

Any way we can see if they have Marines?
 
Flight won't help them, they need land units. :old:
Can one draft in Feudalism? :dubious:
 
Letter in from GONG
Dear Team Council,

Congratulations on your recent Golden Age and entrance to the modern age. As you have noticed Team Free has attacked our nation due to a perceived threat of our strong culture. They have succeeded in removing one of their Causes of War as you should notice we are no longer a threat to achieve victory through cultural assimilation. They have only responded to our communications with silence in the past and have made quite clear that their true intention is world conquest. I'm pretty sure this would not be in the interests of the Council or any other team. Their attempt to roll over the Gong Show in a short number of turns appears to have failed, however, as you can see their gains were mostly short-lived. We have heard from the Babes that you have expressed interest in thwarting Free's plans as well and would like to hear your thoughts on this unfortunate war. We look forward to continued mutual beneficial trade and are open to any other offers of aid and increased communication in the future.

BestRegards,
PrinceMyshkin

So here's our perfect opening to offer some technology to them.

Who all has Nationalism as a tech?
As long as Saber or BABE has it, then we can safely give it to GONG.

Suggested response
Dear GONG,

We grieve with you over the reports of tremendous suffering at the hands of the FREE aggressors. You have the condolences of The Council, and our well-wishes in repelling these invaders.

As much as these events have stirred indignation in the hearts of our soldiers - we fear we have to keep them close to home for now, lest the same fate befall us.

However - we would like to aid you... would you find knowledge of [insert: Nationalism and/or Flight here] help you?
We've sent it along, with accept, with the next save.

If this will help -please just accept it as a token of goodwill from the people of The Council. If you win the war - perhaps at that time you would consider some kind of modest gold compensation... but no pressure - win the war first! :thumbsup:

All the best,
Your friends,
General_W, speaking with the voice of The Council

Thoughts?
(and remember, anything we give to GONG is very likely to end up in the hands of the BABEs... which is probably a good thing... as long as Saber is actually about to go to war)
