What to say on Saterday VOTE

[Emp.Napoleon]

This saterday we will be having a meeting with C3B and they want to talk about wonders. They will probaly ask what wonders we are planning to build. We will need to say something to stay in good faith though. You have untill Saterday Morning PST to vote, since that is when the meeting is.

I thikn that we can tell them. The wonder will be built in time for their possible attack, if we follow Cheetah's plan. We are strong compared to them in military. I think it might be worth telling them.

I don't think its any of their biusness

I second this. We need to tell them or risk them getting angry and us wasting our time in a war later. If we refuse to answer the question they will find out anyways since why would anyone not want to share it. We ned to build a good relationship and keeping secrets like this that we will have to tell anyways will hurt it.

I'm glad I got another day to think about this.

 

[akots]

Apparently yes especially if they ask.

And even if they attack with Immortals, I thikn we could produce enough JT's and horses to squench the attack. That mountain range East of Fanatazuma is a great defensive position if one is needed.

Ok...

"No" is definitely not a good choice, since we'd discuss wonders but are forced to lie. That can't be explained afterwards. I still think it's too dangerous to tell them we're building SoZ because in response they could very well start building immortals, and attack us "before it's too late". Then again, they're so focused on having an alliance with us - that gives me doubts. But they will have less reason to trust us once we've finished the SoZ after we've discussed wonders. Bad for the future.

But I think that in general, SoZ or not, it is very logical not to discuss wonders since that can also be a battle between allied civs. Now, because we have SoZ that really should give us a reason to do as if we don't want to discuss wonders in general. So I voted option #3.

Now I see 2/3 have voted for option #1. Doesn't matter that much, I think. They won't attack us. (The losers!) But I would've been more comfortable if we stayed on the safe side.
Option #1 will make them trust us more though! That is always an advantage.

I highly doubt it. JT's are very expensive defenders. Immortals not only have 2 defense, they're the ultimate attackers, and are as cheap as swords. They'll wait for us to come to them, then attack.

Not nessecarily ,there are already rumor's of war on an other continent ,the result of that war may provide an outside threat that would make c3b happy to have an ally with those millitary capabilety's.This is not deathmatch ,this is "eleminate two civ's before they eliminate you" ,because the leftover 3 (regardless of their size) continue to the finals ,C3B might very well think that having an ally with SoZ is one innsurance more against extinction ,whether or not we mentioned it ,however IMO it's best to tell them.

I guess for C3B fanatics SoZ combined with their immmortals could be a very strong coorperation ,personnaly i think so to.

I say we just don't answer or ask any questions about wonders. However, if it is necessary just tell them. I have no problem keeping the truth from them but lying to them could cause problems later on.
