HiHi
 
While we wait, anyone any idea how the in game 'Chat' thing works, ie can it be made single Nation specific or does everyone get to looksee.
 
+  what are folks veiws re emailing diplomatic stuff to Nations you want to explain more than the games treaty deffinitions alow; I'm in favour, but not sure if it's considered bad form or something.  It would certainly add an extra dimention to the game, make it more like an expanded 'Medieval diplomacy', anyone here played that?
 
Thoughts?
 
All the Best

I wouldn't mind if you want to do is turn until he can tell us what is happening.

Kingmaker I'm all for emailing before deals... Not so much because I think there's not much you can do within the current system. But more because I think some stuff can get stupid (ie even if you set some stuff too export, maybe you'll get SO MANY trade offer in one turn that you'll drop to like +3 of something you wanted to get to +10 instead a turn...) I think the best way to resolve that issue would be to try and get the programmers to modify how PBEM policies work :)


On top of that, I believe it is nice to be able to tell someone who just beated you that if he leaves your territorial intergrity alone you'll happily turn against your old allies to help in out. I think it as the feel of the period alot more not to ask for only land when you beat someone but rather for stuff like enforced alliance and stuff :) Unfortunetely, AI aren't a lot of help so I don't do it in solo play :)

On top of that I offered some treati on the first turn, Having asked to people first might have made sure we didn't all ask for the same treati... It can get confusing to know wich one to sign when you have 5 indentical treaties offered by you and the four others![&:][8|]

Give him a few hours to respond to the email and then if not make a very conservative turn for him.  Just set his labor in an intelligent way and put his policies so that he basically sits there.
 
Thats my vote.
