quote: DG, from LL with love Hi! I had been commitment to contact MAST as our new ambassador in your civilization. The lost of Perla had been a very hard situation to take over... We think that Tabemono had take the worst part and lost several Riders in this atack... well, really do not matter that now. First of all I had to tell you something you already know, my english is not very good.. hope I make me understand anyway. OK, now the reason Im writing to you now... As I said the lost of "Perla" had been a very bad news for us. Really we think we would be able to resist. In this new situation we do not had a chance to survive fighting against both, MAST and Tabemono. So our only chance is to offer all we can to you with the hope to reach at least a "Non Combat Pact". That means, we really do not need to sign a peace pact, we only want you to stop attacking us. What we want 1) do not attack our cities. 2) leave us a 1 vs 1 against Tabemono 3) we will never accept peace with Tabemono, and we will fight and attack them till we had no unit or city. 4) we will not leave any city to be conquered by Tabemonos armies, all what they will get are raised lands. what we offer 1) of course, we will not attack MAST units or cities. 2) we will not, not now, not ever, reclaim the lost land or cities 3) we will not help or assist any other civilization in aggressive planes against MAST. 4) 250 gold cash, all we had. 5) Theology and Gunpower tecs (to give this we will need to sign peace at least for 1 turn) 6) a confidential pact, we will not tell anyone, specially Tabemono, of this pact... Really, we know we had two possible ending for LL civilization... a quickly end fighting against Tabemono and MAST.. or a long and really hard (for both sides) end against Tabemono only... What we offer, gives you the chance of the best situation for MAST, hope you accept this terms and if we had something else we can offer you , just lets us know. You can contact me by PM, or chat me in MSN messenger , my contact email is "arinaldi (at) montevideo(dot) com(dot)uy"

Hummm, it all depends on our goals I guess.

Declining their offer will bring a quick end to the war at this continent, depending on how much Tabe got left of course.

So, what next then? Finish LL and turn against SS? Or prepare for an assault against that other continent? Stoopid but fun

As I said before, I think the ideal for us is for the two of them to get involved in a long, drawn out war of attrition, wasting the majority of their shields and gold on units that get slaughtered the next turn. While we build units that we keep, and build improvements that do some good.

Joining in with crushing LL means that neither we nor Tabemono incur much cost, and we remain competitive with them, sunshine, and presumably CoD and Monty Python on the other continent (How is that war going anyway? Are the monkeys toast yet?).

Leaving Tabemono to go it alone could effectively remove them from the competition, at least in the short to medium turn. We'd have to back it up with an alliance with Sunshine to whack Tabemono as soon as they showed signs of sweeping through LL though - not only to eliminate two competitors in one go, but also to avoid nasty fallout from them being less than pleased with us abandoning the fight.

The fallout from pulling out would be the worrying thing, Tabemono are roll over them real fast anyway, I think they're mistaken to think they can hold tabemono off or cause them any significant losses in millitary.

What really worrys me is the possibility that they're saying the same thing to Tabemono in the hope that they can get a cease fire from at least one of us.

Other than that we don't really gain anything from fighting on except perhaps some saltpeter or dyes if Tabemono are willing to let us have them from LL's old land.

Well I'm hoping for a world war once we get rid of LL

We should mention this offer to Tabe btw, we can always bring up the question about sharing the spoils of war with us on a later stage.
