RPB3 SPOILERS Bismarck of India (regoarrarr, darrelljs, sooooo, sunrise089)

Shall I tell our allies to stop feeding the pipeline?

From Maya:

We're planting it on T20 unless you have major objections. It's on the
(unfdortunately weaker site) hill tile as we negotiated with Ruff. We
can send you gold as early as T114 if you need it. We've microe'd
around our need for it from 114 till 122 when we can have the other
one online.

Darrell

[sooooo]

What are they talking about?

[darrelljs]

No clue...apparently regoarrarr gave away a juicy floodplains gold city in our north .

Yeah. I did. It was pretty far for us and we really had no chance at it. But they are going to perma-gift us the gold resource

[sooooo]

I logged in and accepted a request for 60 gold. I thought we were going to be come a techer team and not a gold supplier? If we are going to keep giving gold then those markets would be useful

I had to log out though without doing anything because there was an OOS error.

[darrelljs]

We are teching Gunpowder next.

I told Maya to settle the Gold city. Please ask for their Gold in game if we need the happy.

Made a couple of worker actions but Sunrise has commandeered 6 (!) of them to be engineers.

Spotted a Krill sentry - a guerilla 2 longbowman.

Okay...so some diplo news we need to all weigh in on. Byzantine says we have a new offer to join PAT. Basically the two of us would use our production to eliminate some or all of existing Cuddle teams and in exchange we'd get propped in tech. Some observations:

1. We've been down this road and got screwed.

2. It would be truly evil to abandon Portugal, Aztecs, et. al.

3. PAT is apparently about to blow up in tech (including Engineering next turn...sorry sunrise089), so it probably increases our chances of winning the game.

4. It would be truly evil to abandon Portugal, Aztecs, et. al.

5. We could probably get cash to upgrade all the HAs to Cataphracts.

6. It would be truly evil to abandon Portugal, Aztecs, et. al.

7. Cuddle has been pretty dysfunctional so far (I mean, how hard is it to get us a couple of HAs?).

8. It would be truly evil to abandon Portugal, Aztecs, et. al.

9. Someone on Cuddle has sold us out to Egypt, showing just how much it is an alliance of convenience (everyone prefers PAT).

10. It would be truly evil to abandon Portugal, Aztecs, et. al.

I tend to agree that it is not ideal to attack Portugal / Aztecs / etc.

I also think that an attack on Egypt is not going to happen.

I'd like to break up PAT some...
