Concerning the situation on the ground: I have up to now inflicted significantly more military losses to your side than you on mine; I now also have an ally and all the advantages this comes with; the walls of my city have up to now not even been touched; and the Khmer, while more dangerous, have yet to make a single successful foray into my heartlands. The way I see it, you don’t have the forces to finish the job, and I am inflicting ever increasing pain on your production capacity.
Saying that I am the one suing for peace is also quite incorrect. You both said that you were ready to discuss peace before Kongo proposed anything going in that direction; Kongo is more than happy to continue the hostilities if necessary. I offered you a first approximation of the cost of the war, and asked your opinions on it. It is your jobs to come up with a counter offer, or to simply refuse, not mine!
This being clear, it shall not be said that I did not propose anything of value. Things that you could do to reduce the cost of peace:
-Lend me 1-2 domreys to expedite Ngazargamu’s fall
-Send some unprotected builders my way to help rebuild
-Promise X turns of peace
-etc etc.
I am open to promise each other X turns of peace.
I will have to think about lending Domreys to Ngazargamu.
I am open to fair trade deals.
I am not willing to pay any reparations for peace.
Ah, I see you misunderstood when I mentioned terms when I was replying to Korea’s announcement of joining your side in the war. Also, at that point in time, when I saw his announcement, I had yet to realise he had already actively declared war–I thought it was still a possibility, a threat, rather than a historical fact.
You may need an update from your garrison as to the state of your walls: Yes, it’s the beginning, but they will fall soon enough.
Our production capacity has only increased since the beginning of this war. While your vaunted scientific edge, among other things, seems to be failing.
While I might pay small reparations for being an aggressor in this war, attempting to damage your cultural dominance through force of arms (you left us no choice!), they would likely be about half what you have proposed, if that. Also, there will be no separate deals–you will not divide us with your unequal offer. We will stand firm with our ally and Korea can squander her resources alongside yours, should she choose to.
If you and the Khmer can reach acceptable terms, we will follow suit. Not before. Your demands for reparations would seem to be the major sticking point currently. Consider in your calculations not only the cost of what you have lost, but what you may yet lose, and what you will have to spend to back up these demands if you choose to pursue retribution.
A valiant effort by the Khmer, but ultimately I believe my walls will stand strong.
@Onanista : Half the asked price for peace with Sumer is acceptable to Kongo, if the troops retreat further to the lakes as asked previously.
@J_Dennis : No reparations is a no go from me. You have lost or will be losing the larger part of your army in the coming turns, unless there are A LOT of reinforcements that are on their way, which I honestly doubt. If we can reach an agreement before my next turn, I will give up the chase and let the survivors live. How about you help me with your last domrey on Ngazargamu, reparations of 300g (I will accept gpt if you don’t have the funds right now) and the rest of your army retreats back to your borders south of the gulf of Thailand?
Has anyone had problems loading games since the BBG update today? I can’t load the save anymore, it says that I don’t have BBG 4.6.4, and it does not exist on the workshop anymore
Apparently a possible fix is to revert the turn when BBG upgrades. Will try that; hopefully we only need one revert to @_Fhtagn and not a full round repeat.
Hi all,
I’ve just done a Single PLayer OCC playthrough right up to the space race and wanted to check something. In this game, I don’t seem to have access to any resources that have been claimed by my expansionist unit: not the strategics, and not luxuries. On your turn, could you have a check to see whether this is the case for you in this game?
Oh, also, in my single player game the free units spawn when the countdown timer says they will. Interesting how they don’t seem to in “There Can Be Only One”.
I wonder if they spawn if you have less than X units already. I got a bunch in the last spawn, the first time in a while. Also I’ve yet to claim a lux outside my borders…
I think I saw that unit healing within the culture bombed area didn’t work as if it was within your own borders. It felt too slow but I didn’t pay too much attention to it cause I might have been wrong but now i find my hunch was probably right.
@J_Dennis How did the Khmer go from 300 to 480 strength in a single turn…??? There are no units which are that strong at this point in the game, and unless a SERIOUS case of chopping happened I’m a little perplexed…???
Yes, it’s the beginning, but they will fall soon enough.
