In this post from darreljs Portugal pushes for a replacement of France with Babylon.

Yeah, and that was the last that we heard of it. I'll try and catch HRE online and find out what happened.

I'll also post later what has been going on diplo and planning wise, we've been using gchat so much I think the lurkers lack a lot of info.

Well, this sucks:

Hey Guys,

Sorry but Portugal rejected peace based on their insistence that I delay trading hunting. I don't understand it since their claim is it ruins their bargaining power if others know they can get spearmen however they don't have that bargaining power since others are going to get hunting either way. You can try talking to them however bargaining points would need to be renegotiated at this point as I've made my moves.

Sorry it couldn't work out, could have been fun and profitable.

Portugal will give us a Settler on t74. In return, we will give them the first Worker we capture. Which is none, I am sure Yaz deleted them. Chatting with Yaz he definitely was not bluffing about his Settler. I predict he settles on top of Copper.

FINALLY got a reply on this.

What's up with killing France ? I didn't press on it but who gets to decide what teams are in and what teams aren't? And frankly, not telling them is pretty shady. I was under the impression their was a CAN wide NAP in place. I went back and looked for for proof but didn't find anything . Maybe it was a bad assumption on my part.

So now we need to find Mali and Babylon, since they are now in CAN and working on some pretty key techs.

Perhaps too few have voted to keep France instead of Babylon.

OTOH you are in an alliance with Krill so unpleasantly things are bound to happen to unsuspecting Civs .

[darrelljs]

Well, CAN is apparently not a democracy, cause I didn't even see a vote. There was that one e-mail and that was it.

Darrell

Apparently I didn't mean vote literally but if noone opposed the first e-mail, if noone said 'Hell no we want to keep france' then I presume those behind this move felt they have a consensual 'GO' to procede as they wanted. Qui tacet ... as you said

[darrelljs]

AQui tacet ... as you said

Hah-hah...yeah you know it might have just been that.

[darrelljs]

I'll be updating this post as I have time.

Now might not be the best time for this given how chaotic things have been, but for the lurkers I want to summarize diplomatic relations from our perspective (well, mine I guess) with all the civs we have contact with.

Yaz's cap:



Two warriors in cap. At least 1 at full 25% fortify, making it a 65% battle.

I think I favor the following:

1) Workers move back into our land so they cant be sniped by the chariot.

2) 1 full strength chariot stays in BB.

3) 4 other chariots move in, and cover the sheep, cottage, hamlet, and hamlet again.
