The problem is if they have any workers or warriors down to the south of them. Then they will know we were fibbing/don't have a city down there and all we are doing is putting potential trades and contacts off by one turn.

I guess it really comes down to how much we are willing to trade off for the contact.

Yes I know that we can't actully see units move in PBEM, but the fact that our warrior showed up on the southern side will indicate to them the direction it came from.

The longer we wait, the more beakers we waste researching BW (unless we change it). Also, it gives them more time to either trade a tech that we have or find it from a goody hut. The benefits of waiting don't outweigh the penalties, IMO.

The hut is in the fog-o-war; it may well be gone already for all we know.
