Official Poll: Do we transfer Catapults to CGN? Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

This would require us to gift a city to CGN and them declaring war on us in order to capture the Catapults. Then they offer peace on the same turn and gift us back the city.

No. It smacks of exploit! I'm still against trying to exploit the game rules just because GCA continues to do so.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Nope....An exploit going too far.
I dont mind using it as a threat against GWT to for GCA to decalre peace...or Mongoose to force GCA into peace.

Tell GWT that we are going to consider gifting CGN 20 catapults.
Would they like to buy us off ?
All they have to do is force GCA into peace.



Anyway....CGN will do well against GWT by themselves without our help.

And when the GWT offensive fails, CGN will then go on the offensive against GWT with Sipahi's.

We will then need to come to GWT's defense, and I would rather not be facing our own canons/artilary.

Why would you be ok with threatening to use it if you are not actually willing to use it?

I think we should wait until GWT makes their big push. Until then, we don't even know if GWT has enough to take the furthest cities. If they fail, then we have helped CGN on the counter tremendously.

I say no, I don't think we should do it. Both because I'm uncomfortable with it from an exploit PoV, and because I'm not entirely sure we want to help CGN more than we already are (tech trades/embargo w/GWT). Many people seem to think they're the underdog over there, but I'm not sure of that at all.

I vote no because I'm against teleporting units and it also leaves our options open not to be bound to do something.

As much as I want to help CGN in the short term, no.

I know it sounds stupid.

But threatening to use an exploit to counter an expoit is different than actually using it.
I just want the peace issue resolved.

This reeks of exploit.

I said no before, and I'll say no again.

Perhaps if it were EXACTLY the same thing that GCA did, I'd say yes, but this is taking it further and I cannot support that. We'd not only be stooping as low as GCA, we'd be stooping even lower (and paving the way for them to outdo us in the exploit business in the future).

I do not want this demo game to turn into a competition of who exploits the most.

The only way I would be infavor of giving them any support would be if we were to sail that support accross the ocean. And as that is currently impossible due to tech level, I say no.

(IE: If it can't be done using normal movement, NO)
