	Splitting City Investigations with GoW Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

It may be in our best interest to see what the city of Arnablanca is building for us to ascertan whether or not they are building a galley and whether we should accelerate or plans to secure Ivory City.

However, it may be in GoW's best interest as well. If ND was able to beat us to the Ivory, they could, depending on their city placement, jeopardize our ability to control the second iron source.

Maybe if we explained this to GoW, they might be willing to split the cost of investigating the city, and both teams could share the screenshot.

Just an idea, but one we would have to move ahead quickly on... Any thoughts?

I don't think it is worth the cost at this stage - lets focus on building out military first.

If we have a strong military, we needn't to fear ND colonizing our best spots. Conventional deterennce is a very good diplomatic strategy, it is the main strategy of the US.

	Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

whatever...

It would cost about 10 gold apiece, and I don't think anyone here is qualified to say what we should worry about... especially if the do beat us to it.

	Put an end to popups!

It is in our best interests to do so.

Information is power. As if the cost will make that much difference to anything at this stage anyway.

So is this going ahead? Can Don Togas permit the Ambassador to GoW to tablke the idea and see what they think? There has been little opposition to the idea so far, so we may as well ask. They can give us an indication of the costs, and in the meantime we can keep discussing. If they shoot the offer down, then there's no point in continuing talking here, but if not, then we know we have the option.

	Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

I mentioned this idea to GF in passing and he said he'd consider it. I'm going to have adaMada repropose it to him via PM.
