I don't know if Korea is getting particularly good advice from Spullla. If they peace out they might lose the chance to get more Roman territory later depending on how viciously slaze prosecutes the war.

[dazedroyalty]

If Slaze does that, he'll be so weak economically that he'll be either an easy target himself.

[Beamup]

Slaze is unlikely to actually keep cities, I'd say - too little economy, like dazedroyalty said. So they might have to resettle some land, but I can't see slaze keeping much.

Yikes - that temp peace from chariot death could really do Plako/Broker a favour - 10 turns enforced peace? AFAIK, that means they can smack the poop out of Whosit without worrying about Cheju?

They signed 'cease fire' not unbreakable 10 turns peace.

Edit: I thought they did sign a 'peace treaty' for 10 turns but they really did not.

My plan, if you can call it a plan, at this point is to hang on until my mainland cities are all overrun, then gift my Centralia cities to Athlete, plus the units that remain. I'll probably ship off my Workers to him, as well. Maybe Nakor will benefit from my largess if he can explain the peace deal.

looks like the strategy of funding failed warmongers is really paying off for Athlete

1. Nakor/DMOC's idea of giving Whosit's city back is silly. It would just get taken again.

2. Spulla not knowing that a ROP does not tie your hands is like Michael Vick not knowing an NFL game can not end in a tie.

In fairness to Spullla, that appears to have come up in Nakor's thread as well.

In fairness to Vick, that was Donovan McNabb. Probably Vick's gross error in judgment was much more stupid that McNabb's factual ignorance, but wanted to set the record straight

We sign an indefinite NAP with Korea with a 15t cooldown, no ROP, no gifting of units.
We tech towards Rifling after Lib, build us an army and take out Dantski.
We should be level pegging with India in tech rate at that time.

Um, yeah. That's really going to happen.

Yeah I don't see HRE matching their reserach for a while.
