Zulu Relations - Foreign Affairs

[Provolution]

This is a multiple options poll on our relationship with the Babylonians

I recommend to maintain the relations at polite in order to stabilize eastern border and to develop a trade partnership with the Zulus. We need to limit their tech development as they are militarily more powerful and expanding.

Cultural pressure is also important in this relation.

Polling relationships and general policy on the 4 civilizations:

This poll is established in order to define the development in the relationship with our neigbors. As the nature of diplomacy is long term, and sometimes irreversible, not only the Foreign Minister is resposible for a long term approach, but also the Japanatican people. Therefore, I will first poll the entire spectrum of the foreign policy options, and then slightly upgrade or downgrade the relations in agreement with the TA, SA and MA, as well as the people. I have charted the entire scope in foreign relations from the Fanatikku Pact/Foreign Aid Client State through Genocide Total War, in order to appease everything from peacemongers to Babylon haters.

This list is probationary, yet should be detailed enough to make finely adjusted Foreign Policy.

Policy Options

Fanatikku Pact (MPP)
Long Term Brother People of Japanatica
Development Aid Client State

Military Partnership
Trade Partnership
Research Partnership

Polite
Cautious
Annoyed

Secure resource locations
Block expansion chokepoints
Intrusion/Cultural Conquest

Partisan War (strike at stray units, capture workers and destroy roads)
Colonial War (Conquer 1 city)
Low Scale War (Conquer 1-3 cities)

Total War, Assimmilation (Japanaticize conquered civilization)
Total War, Forced Labor (make Civ people into workers)
Total War, Genocide, Starve/Raze Cities (Eliminate civ people)

I will only poll the gradual shift in Foreign Policy relations to the four CIVS.

Babylonia : Cautious
Iroquiois : Polite
Rome : Annoyed
Zulu : Polite

I recommend the following policies

upgrade relationship to Babylonia to
Polite, Research Partner

maintain relationship to Iroquois
Polite, may extend to research partner

maintain relationship to Rome, possibly improve,
however, press for an Eastern Special Ops Plan, stop tech trades, no luxury trades, and contain Roman expansion North and East.

maintain relationship with Zulus
Polite, may extend to trade partner, but be careful on tech trades.

This is a multiple poll, one for each CIV

u put bablonia in the question, i assume you mean zulu right?

 

[Provolution]

yes, I am sorry, I cut and paste, and now I cannot edit it, my fault, but the thread name should not confuse people, unless they have the memory of a bananafly

 

[Black_Hole]

i voted for trade partner and cautious, we should be cautious because they are rated 5/5 on the agression scale and also their uu is in the ancient age...

I am currently Annoyed with the Zulu (the horses). If they take any more local resources meant for the Japatanicans, then I would favor more... decisive measures. Within the context of international politics, of course.
