[SPOILERS] Team My Little Marathon Cannibal Pony on another PG-13 adventure!

[Halvgud]

I did some better testing and worker actions and was able to get the Mids on turn 88 and hopefully that is soon enough to get it.

Ok, what actions do we need to get there?

I have to say that with us being so far behind, I have some doubt we will get the mids. Especially with the other team setups considering. What do you think about us going total war on dinosaurs, as you suggested earlier with "chariot rush"? If we go that route, it would make most sense to aim for the capital first. But that suggests a need for horse instead of stone for our third. Just making the suggestion at this time. We may get bum rushed in turn.

Rephrased what you wrote to this and sent it a minute ago:

Dear Dinosaurs, we certainly agree to have a good relationship.

Our scout has come from the east and our direction is mostly east of you. We intend to move our scout northward, since that is the route of safety and then move back east again.

In the interest of mutual friendship, we have a proposal for a settling arrangement. There is a lake directly to the east of you and I think that is a good natural barrier between our two civilizations. There is a corn on top of that lake and we will allow you to settle one spot to the west of it. So as a general rule we won't settle anywhere to the west of that lake and you won't settle anywhere to the east of that lake. How does this sound to you?

Would you kindly rephrase what you wrote about espionage?

Best Regards on behalf of Team My Little Marathon Cannibal Team,
Halvgud, Diplomatic attaché.

PS. Apologies for moving further west, but the turn player had not seen your message before he made the turn.

In my opinion this is good proposal, but I must talk about it with Raptorous.

Do you want talk about espionage points? We could make agreement, that we don't spend EP on each other. What do you think about it?

Well we only have contacted them, so it is the only team we can put espionage against. Getting the Mid will help us massively and I think it is a risk worth taking.

Regarding the next turns, I think that it will be better to whip the monument when we can, which is in 5 turns, that chop the forest since right now are only getting 20 hammers compared to 30 hammers for a whip. Once we have whipped we build a warrior for some extra close scouting and protection so that barbs don't pop up. If we get the Mids then it means we can get Representation and go straight to a SE economy and kick start our economy. We need to go to areas where we have commerce rich
Here is the demographics for the turn depressing reading and why we need to start expanding quickly.


Here is my proposed tech path so that we can start get some growth and protection.


Here is the score increase for the past two turns. Team orgy Increased 6 this turn for a tech increase. Team Egg increased 6 last turn for a tech. They also increased 3 for a settled city. Team M&M increased 3 last turn for a pop increase. Team CB increase 2 last turn for a pop and 6 this turn for a tech. They also settled a city this turn. Team GG decrease 2 last turn and got them back, so they whipped one and then gained one pop. They again whipped mid turn for a loss of 3 for one pop. The whipped mid term for a loss of 8 for 3 pop. Team YBC increase 3 and then 2, for two pop increase on consecutive turns. Team E&C increased 6 for a tech.

Score increases for this turn. Team Orgy increased 3 for one pop increase. Team CB increased 3 for a pop. Team YBC increased 3 for a pop. Team Egg increased 5 for a pop and land. Team GG increased 3 for a pop.

I played the turn. I have moved the scout eastward towards the area SE of the Dinosaur capital and we shall continue north and see if there is promising land for them. Also to see if there is a northern passage for us to go around. I have put some city placment signs around, they are just suggestions and if you have better spots, then please say so.

Demographics time. We are improving slightly.

[Halvgud]

Yes, let us do this by the risk formula. May the odds be ever in our favour.

Meanwhile, we got a mail from Dinos, to which I have replied.

We are at this time unable to change EP spending since you are the only team we are in contact with.
You may call us Team Pony instead of difficult mlmcp/lmct abbreviations.
I can arrange for something a bit more understandable by way of border description, will talk with teammate about this.

Halvgud, diplomatic attaché,
Team My Little Marathon Cannibal Pony.

[Halvgud]

To formalize and specify the agreement, shall we say that 7 or 8 tiles east of liverpool is the border between us?

[classical_hero]

"Dear Dinosaurs,
Unfortunately you guys are the only team we have met and thus all our EP is currently focused on you. So while that happens I suggest that you guys put enough EP on us to get our graph. Once we meet other people we will have the ability to take EP off you, but right now, we can't. Also exploration would be good for us, so we are wondering if their is any way we can go that doesn't go through your lands, but allows us movement west to met more nations.

The natural border from your capital is that lake we previously discussed is a great natural barrier. It is 3 tiles wide at the top and goes 5 tiles south. So that lake is yours and we won't build any cities to the west of the eastern most point of the lake. So therefore Team Dinosaur can build cities under the souther most point of the lake, but not any further west and any land between the city can be taken by border expansion.

We also desire a NAP agreement between each teams to allow peaceful expansion. I saw that we settle for the moment right now for turn 100 and re-negotiate terms of a NAP agreement say 10-5 turns before the expiration. That way we can get good discussion going before we need to rush diplomacy.

Regards, Team Pony."

You can make some edits to it and send it off when you want.

[classical_hero]

For next turn our capital will grow and we need to make sure that the next warrior is finished the same turn the city grows so that we can have more citizens working on the settler and thus can be built faster and whipped earlier. Once we get the second worker we can start to build roads towards our 3rd city.

Do you skype or messenger? I have skype so it would be good if we aree able to get contact via that way. My skype is classical_hero7 at hotmail dot com
