Hello fellow neighbor. In times of our big changes to our country, I've come to ask if we can have an alliance with each other. We offer many things like gold, miners, oil, and quite possibly a massive thing, MEAT. We have a lot of meat including pork, ham, bacon, and chicken. If our maps are correct, there's an unclaimed oil hotspot nearby. Say, I could send in the miners and we could split the oil gained. All I need in return are horses and wood and rope for a drawbridge I plan on building with another alliance. Seeing how easy those things are I'd say it's a good bargain. You get money and food and we get construction materials. We could even have an area where our populations live side by side too! Now then, do we have a deal? The more alliances and friendships the better you know right?
If you request more items for the alliance then you can say what else you'll need.
