That's them. It says amiable, in SE4 speak this means? Can't be to bad, but isn't the greatest either is it? No other races yet. They are up in the top right corner there is a system between us that leads out to the rest of the quadrent that I have not gone through yet. I can't see how everyone is doing but i am in 8 . Oh well it's being quite a learning experience.

Expect to be in Last place for more then 15 years. so don’t get disenchanted, you will soon catch up to the pack…

Is this the Zyanaras the only door out of your empire and if so how many systems do you have between one end to the Zyanaras system????

Now it is time for you to trade Colonization techs with the Zyanaras , you will give them your rock colonization for there Ice Colonization…
Remember Zyanara are Xenophobic and may/will drop in the posture towards you to as much as cool, don’t be alarmed they will creep back up to amiable… When they do get back to receptive or better, ask them for a trade agreement, but they will probably refuse… They will ask you when they are ready to trade with you, so don’t worry. But ask every now and then when they are receptive or better to you.

With this said, and you have about a half dozen system to your self, the AI Player on the other side of the Zyanaras are probably having the same problem as you in there dealings with the Zyanaras, so you have time NOW, to send SATS and mines to the Systems warp point connected to Zyanaras home system as to set up a future defense. Provided that this is in fact your only door out… This will be a good defensive start for you, but you will have a hard time with resources for lack of trade partners… So build up your empire gradual… and in this case more then any other; you will need to build a trade center to keep your economy balanced.

Any questions, I will be turning in soon?
