Ruff Wrote:Hey Fox,
Is the game with you? If so, lets see if we can reach an agreement quickly so that we can get the game moving again. So far we have two offers on the table ...

Your Offer - 2 x GP Gift for Vassal of at least 25 turns
My Offer - 2 x GP Gift for Defensive Pact of at least 15 turns

These offers aren't that different. Let's work to getting an agreement. I think the ball is in your court at the moment.

Cheers,

Ruff
Caer Wrote:I don't have any GP to trade. How about a 1 sided defensive pact for at least 40 turns and the next generated GP.
By one sided defensive pact, I mean should someone declare war on you, I will immediately go to war with them. However, if someone declares war on me, you are under no obligation to declare war.
I think this says it all for his play ... he doesn't even realize he has two GP just sitting around.

Caer Wrote:Lol, really? Im away from computer and I can't remember. ok so, 1 x scientist and 40 turns defensive pact as described in my last email?

Final offer ...
Ruff Wrote:1 x GSc + 1 x GEng for 20 (minimum) turn defensive pact (in-game) between the two of us.
... after that, I will just kiss the GP goodbye and take his land.

Didn't even negotiate down?

To be fair it was so hardball he probably felt insulted.

Yes it was hardball. But page up a few pages and see his forces (2 x muskets + 18 axes) v mine (conquistadors as far as the eye can see).

Okay. The trick is that he vassals to you, instead of Iskander. Push him too far and he'll you'll regret it.

I don't see why you didn't just ask for the GE instead.

This is what I think will happen ...
  • Caer offers vassals to Isk
  • I play my turn and offer a Defensive Pact to both Isk and Para
  • I also declare on Caer
  • Isk plays his turn, accepts(?) the vassal and finds himself at war with me
  • No idea what happens to my Defensive Pact offer to Isk
  • Para plays his turn ... accepts my Defensive Pact but doesn't find himself at war with anyone because they started before PA started

I declare on Cear and take a city ... I also find that Defensive Pacts aren't available if one party is at war (me). Guess I should have known that.
