Might be or he refers to our barbaric ways ;-). Nevertheless it seems like his warriors except the one we see are not heading towards us.

I have been sending messages with Nakor and apparently the tech they got on T25 was AH and they do see where horses are positioned. I proposed them that they would reveal the positioning of it in exchange for the position of copper.

They haven't been too open to share info so unless that changes I won't be delivering it either. NAP until T80 secures us and after settling the city there that flank is really hard to break, if things go bad in that direction.

I've been further thinking about the areas in the east. If given opportunity, we should settle aggressively towards Warlord. There are lot of questions like the military situation, where Warlords settles and positioning of the copper, but W2 would be excellent as a frontline city on that direction and I really hope we could plant our 3rd city there.

Also for some reason Lord Parkin has stopped spamming and is "delaying" the game by being last to act by fair margin in 2 consecutive turns. If I try to analyze out of game actions it might be he is in some kind of trouble, is waiting for diplo messages somewhere or is actually busy in real life wink. Assuming he has taken the religious start and located near someone like Sunrise that might cause quite a lot of headaches for him.

All of a sudden Warlord is very "talkative". Now he comes in peace. I don't buy this. If he wants to come in peace I've given plenty of opportunities to say so. I'll send yet another warrior towards him. Power graph confirmed that he got BW previous turn.

Wow. Warlord is becoming annoyingly talkative wink. I don't know, which community he is talking about. It can't be league or could it be? Wild guess is that he doesn't see copper or it is in bad spot. Frankly I'm not that intrested anymore. I'm bit entertained that he thinks I'm agressive and actually would say that his agressive warriors caused the war wink. I'm quite certain that truly agressive player would have gone for a choke right from the 1st opportunity given, when he was giving silent treatment right from the beginning.

His scouting sounds also pretty pathetic or he is bluffing. I'm pretty certain he could find someone from his east.

I have no idea what he is coming from. I saw him in atleast one of Sullla's LoL videos (lcsullla on youtube, pluggalugachug). Maybe there's a custom Always Peace CIV ladder that Sunrise found him on. I dunno.

He's either just having fun or is planning a retarded secret attack. We don't know the map well enough to know whether or not it is actually balanced so :-\ so I'll wait on that.

I suppose we should tell him "To settle on the coast and build a work boat, it seems like this map is some sort of weird semi-island map connected by a ton of coasts.

Also, it is up to you to choose 1 or 2. You should declare and offer peace. If we accept, you can be sure that we are peaceful because the game makes it so you cannot be attacked for 10 turns." Maybe he'll actually do it. It would be pretty LOL.

Nonsense my overly pessimistic friend. I foresee nothing but wonderful things in future relations between China and the peaceful 'Gangster Nation' under the benevolent leadership of WarlordDR.

Look at the latest diplo, he has moved from direct insults and curses to merely implied insults! And no swearing! Surely the first steps toward harmonious relations.



Also, why didn't you choke him after the wardec? Sitting on one of those deer tiles probably would've hurt him.

I'm builder by nature. We wouldn't have been able to take position on a deer tile. Best we could have accomplished would have been tying up some of his warriors. Looking at it now that would have been worth it since I don't see a peaceful future ahead of us.

I got again pretty short straw concerning neighbours frown. Nakor/Gaspar has been way too silent for my taste and Nakor would do pretty well in mr. Sneaky contents when looking at his actions in previous games. As a plus side I can blame our neighbors, if we don't do well wink.

So Warlord doesn't deserve an answer, but I think I'll give it to him nevertheless. Had to find just some time to formulate it.
