Turn 36 has been received. I won't be able to get to it until at least 8pm tonight (Arizona). We have until 8:48 am tomorrow (Arizona). If we're going to suggest a trade this turn, let's feel out MIA and see what they think.

Perhaps we'll need an extension. We have contact with Persia now.

errrm, we do not have one unit that could reach cruller to stop TNT warrior, we need to contact now to make an arrangement, get an extension if needed, this could be a major problem.

I have put together quickly a letter to send off to tnt, tell me if you think its needs to say anything else, i can then send it off asap.
I like it, nice and positive. Hope they're not in the mood to play the dagger strategy.

Something goes here...
Presumably they have no way of knowing we don't have units nearby. I don't think they'd take the risk.
Can we try to do a double-writing trade? Both at once?

Hope so to, since crullers wide open (cant even pop rush in time) I would ask during negotiations as an act of good faith not to enter our borders, but ala in all we are going to have to bluff a bit on this one
Edit- I have sent the message to tnt.

quick comments:
1. If they attack, we cannot help it. It is not in their long interest however, the tech situation seems to indicate that they haven't met anyone yet. So let's hope, and make sure not to sound scared in communications with them. It wouldn't hurt to move a warrior up there, just in case.
2. Persia has Masonry and IW available, we can offer Alpha. I think we should try to get Masonry for Alpha, then offer Masonry to Greeks for Wheel. It doesn't look like Persia has a lot to offer for Writing yet (only IW).
3. We need to pop our huts soon.

1. i agree, they don't know we can't defend cruller, so we don't want to give them ideas. In trade negotiations i would bring up that as a show of good faith that they respect our borders.
2. I would be happy with either masonry or IW for alpha. Do they have pottery?
3 Yes, especially the one in the NE.

You seem to be talking about a warrior on your doorstep.
Any screenshots of the situation ?

turn 36, before we have made any moves

They dont know that. They will want our techs first at least. When they come they'll come in force.
With the forest in the way I don't think they can see that Cruller is undefended. That may be enough to keep them from encroaching.

Turnplayer, do we have "cancel worker actions" turned off in the preferences?

They have pottery, BW, IW and Masonry. Means we can offer alpha, they can offer IW or Masonry. I would prefer Masonry as it can be traded to Greece, but IW isn't bad either.

They can't see Cruller anyway.

I was thinking, if we could get MIA to trade WC/CB/wheel for writing, then we could try to trade wheel/alpha for mason/IW, but that would depend on if MIA were willing to do that in the first place.

This is bad. We must be cautious and NOT let them know our city is undefended. We must hide it for three turns or send reinfocements. Now, we are alone with team TNT. We must think about mounted warriors as soon as possible.
