Ok, this is my deal with Aggie at the moment. I'm just too nice these days.;) Not only that I don't use the "teleportation" exploit, I also help him to get his UU fast by giving him Chemistry and Education in advance exchanging his free ind. tech. Here is the log of our deal:
Aggie says:
hi moonsinger
Moonsinger says:
Hi Aggie
Aggie says:
I can get a cheaper price from the AI; I'd rather see the AI get that money when I can choose
Moonsinger says:
Chemistry would definitely help you get closer to Military Tradition...(note: I'm only 1 tech away from Navigation)
Moonsinger says:
How much did they offer you?
Moonsinger says:
Can be cheaper than 1000 gold, I think.
Moonsinger says:
I mean can't be cheaper than 1000 gold.
Aggie says:
maybe, but I won't help my opponent in the driver's seat like that
Aggie says:
you'd have the money for rushing a lot of units
Moonsinger says:
You see...if you buy Chemistry from me, that may defer me from paying you a visit once Navigation is discovered.
Aggie says:
hmmm
Moonsinger says:
True! I'm only 1 tech away from Navigation.
Aggie says:
I wonder whether it would be clever to visit me
Moonsinger says:
Well, while your army is out fighting the Roman, you back door will be undefended.
Aggie says:
i have peace with the romans
Moonsinger says:
But you will expand again...and you will fight them again, right?
Aggie says:
i will, but not when I know what your plans may be...that would be foolish
Aggie says:
then I'd better wait for Military Tradition
Moonsinger says:
Btw, nice RCP core...hope you don't mind moving my capital there.
Aggie says:
well, I do mind
Moonsinger says:
Btw, I have a tactic to run by you.
Aggie says:
anyway: you talk about nice prices...those are not it.
Moonsinger says:
If I move my capital there, do you object if I instantly transfer all my troops there as well?
Aggie says:
so I'd better not trade with you then
Aggie says:
well, when you take my capital I don't think I will play on
Moonsinger says:
How about 600 gold for Education?
Aggie says:
you obviously know the prices of the techs, but again the AI has a similar deal (better for me)
Moonsinger says:
Basically, I can just give away one of my little town -> instantly transfer all my troops to my capital. Yes, it's an exploit and I have asked you before we started the game.
Moonsinger says:
I won't do it if you object.
Aggie says:
and I did agree?
Moonsinger says:
To be fair, you can change your mind now.
Aggie says:
hmmm, I played too many honourable games
Moonsinger says:
Yes, me too...exactly why I discuss this with you first.
Aggie says:
I don't like these exploits...and not because you probably know them better
Moonsinger says:
I won't do it if you don't like it.
Moonsinger says:
Ok, then I won't do it. Will ships my troops the old fashion way.
Aggie says:
That's OK
Moonsinger says:
How about an offer for Education?
Aggie says:
I'm not going to offer more than 2/3 of the AI price
Moonsinger says:
If I give you both Education and Chemistry, will you give me your free Ind tech?
Moonsinger says:
2/3 of the AI price is ok.
Aggie says:
if we ever get that far...yes
Moonsinger says:
Does that mean a yes?
Aggie says:
edu, chemistry for my free tech? OK
Moonsinger says:
Ok, it's a deal! I do hope you get railroad.
Aggie says:
i understand that! Deal
Aggie says:
this is either a super distraction or we postopne the war for a while
Moonsinger says:
When it's my turn, I will send both of them over.
Aggie says:
ok
Moonsinger says:
To be perfectly honest, I have no troop to throw at you.
Aggie says:
and I like this deal a lot better, because money would give you troops
Moonsinger says:
But you must give your free tech right away at the turn you discover it, right?
Aggie says:
sure
Aggie says:
do we have an open thread?
Moonsinger says:
Basically, you can try to sell it first if you want, but at the end of that turn, you must hand it over. Deal?
Aggie says:
this conversation would fit nicely in that
Aggie says:
deal!
Moonsinger says:
Ok!
Moonsinger says:
Yes, we should have an open thread.
