Dominions 5 - There is no I in team, but there is in Disciple

There is the difficult matter of avenues of approach. From our point of view, If you cannot return our former lands such an agreement is pointless. While Bery has TC to the west and Mictlan shares a huge border with team TC, our current paths to strike at them all lead underwater. In order to obtain real cooperation you must sacrifice your gains in Eastern Ulm and Western Hellheim. We understand that has to sting, but expecting us to twiddle our thumbs on pause while you go off to take down TC after hobbling us is a pretty big ask.

There is also the matter of the clouds skyway yet to resolve. I propose that Ulm own Titan’s Steps and allow TNN passage through the province by request. TNN thus has access to, but not ownership of, the entire skyway and can exit greater Hellheim by taking passage through Chilad which would then belong to Hellheim.

I agree with the sentiment that angles of approach need to be resolved. My suggestion would be to return provinces 138 and 140 to you. The allows for access to Fomoria via 155. The fort at 155 remains in my possession, you are easily able to traverse without it flipping occupancy. I’ll leave with a sparing PD to prevent annoying scout sieging, but you can proceed through.

Titans Steps (2) is more readily defended by TNN than yourself in my opinion. Again, it comes down to access, but in my view, I would encourage you to cede that to TNN. I will also add that TNN hold onto 168, 160 and 171.

The egress of TNN is to be via Chilad but depending on temperature scales, it may involve passing via Kailasa’s farmland first. The naturally forms the frontline for a Helheim/Fomoria showdown. The TNN army should be well equipped to defend the skyway. What do you think @Mellified

Of course, some/all of this doesn’t apply depending on what the “other” team do.

@legowarrior

That sounds fair. I’ll send you 2 hammers this turn.

Thank you. I’ve got 30 earth gems coming over, and a few other resources.
