How should we treat with the heathens around us?

The Japanese are to our north west and the Greeks to our south east. How should we act towards them?

as minister of war, I naturally want to bonk some heads.

but I see the reason in gaining what we can first before crushing them.

Prepare our military forces to over-run and crush them. Send mighty armies across the land to take the ciries of our enemies and loot their goods! Build our own cities to support many military units!

Hear the lamentations of the women and the weak men, crush their spirit, kill their warriors, take their land...

Trade techs with them........then exterminate them like the pest they are

These are the greatest joys of man.

Both the Khan and Conan agree with you Cavebear.

And so do I.

What was that line from Connan the Barbarian....? It seems to fit this situation well.

I like the sound of that.

knowing we are a scientific disaster I suggest we try to get as many techs from them as possible and then crush the little bugs.

But first monarchy.

Would be nice if we can get ceremonial from them, might even be worth it to stall getting it ourselves for a couple of turns.

Bob_Smurf42 · May 26, 2003, 19:35

Yeah, that would be good, atawa. It's more likely than getting Mon from them.
/me thinks we should squeeze as much as inhumanely possible out of them before we wipe them out.

Close. I was trying to recall it from memory. I think I added "and weak men" at least.

without a doubt, we need a civ with cerburial, and maybe we will get lucky and be able to search monarchy immediately after...so find the infidels, trade to get cb at any cost....then plan accordingly

atawa · May 27, 2003, 18:35

At the rate we're going now it will take us about 7 turns to make cere. Lets hope by then we can exchange, capture or extort it

War4ever · May 28, 2003, 01:45

well i think a seach and find of the two civs is more important, even if we scale down research, to nail cer burial, we will save huge amounts of science on the next tech....
