Tapper will you trade my 3 commodites for an equal amount of your commodities/trade goods? Not sure what you have left. And have you put into thought about my offer?
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Agreed to the trade.

Yes. I am open to working something out for the objective.

Great.

Not sure how we are going to do this as this looks like it will take multiple rounds to do the dance. I'll do some thinking on this and let you know what I come up with that would be reasonable for the both of us.

As did we. We will probably possess Trade in the future as well.

D'rek, if you don't trade your excess commodities with IH, I will be happy to swap them 2:2 with you.


If your offer is still open, I shall happily accept.

Yeah, in the first game I got all the technology from attacking a couple of twelve's (multi planet) systems. That's what you get from being a peaceful tech race expanding towards the Nekro Posted Image


I did realize after or near the end of the game the Nekro and the Jol'Nar have some synergy with the one Jol'Nar racial tech that gets them trade goods for being attacked and the Nekro desire to gain tech through combat. I'm not sure it will work in this game with the distance between the two races and the fact the Pirates are smack inbetween so the Jol'Nar lose out on some resources though I guess they could work a deal out where IH only steals less than he is able but that would be up to those three races to work out if they so desired.


Pirates or no pirates, distance or no distance, the above hypothetical exchange between Jol-Nar and Nekro will NOT be happening in this game.

I didn't see where you asked me about a free refresh?

@Blend - does being last in strategy pick bother you at all? I am thinking of opening up with politics strategy so that I can see what action cards I have before making my first move.If you want speaker would you leave the strategy I want for me and give me a free refresh?


As has been pointed out, I think my first few rounds are going to be very important, so I would rather not go last. If you make me speaker I will give you a free refresh and will not choose whichever strategy card you want me not to choose.


Okay that's a good deal. Can you include D'rek and Twelve in a free refresh please as they are my trading partners.


Hmmm.... I'll give one of them the refresh so you have someone to trade with. Which do you want?

Anyone else who wants the refresh let me know why I should give it to you! :)


We’re neighbors and get along well

The deals I've been offered for free refreshes are as follows:

Tatts & Drek - Tatts gave me the speaker token in exchange for free refreshes for himself and Drek, and that I wouldn't choose whatever strategy he doesn't want me to choose.

IH, Morgoth, Twelve, and Gnaw - will give me a free refresh down the line when they get the Trade Strategy.

Nom promised not to conquer my HW in early game (though really? You think my War Sun is worried about you?).

So far, I'll definitely give free refreshes to Tatts & Drek, pretty sure I'll give them to IH, Morgoth and Twelve in exchange for a future free refresh.

I'm loathe to give the free refresh to Gnaw and/or Nom. I'll likely give it to one of you so that I can neighbour you to trade - can either of you give me something a little more advantageous?

I'll hold off on using Trade until at least next round anyway, I think. I'm reviewing everything I need/want to do and hopefully get an action posted soon!

We are disappointed that the Embers choose to be less than friendly this early in the Succession struggle. We have already counted the cost of a CT for the trade secondary in our calculations.

Our calculations also include an algorithm that determines when slights become hostility.

Actually, I'm gonna go ahead and give Nom the refresh, I think, as my natural first expansion borders his first expansion.

Nom - I'll have 2 commodities to trade once we get to the refreshes - can I count on you to trade with me?

Honestly, until you try to get further than Lodd Eru towards my homeworld, I think I'll live with your calculations! :)

Not interested in going that direction. As long as you’re not interested in Lodd Eru.

I would like it at some point for the red pre-requisite, but I can probably find some other way to get that if I need to unless we can come to some kind of deal for a round 2 or 3 swap?
