The Winter Olympooad Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

ICELAND, 400AD

Teams of the finest athletes produced by the empires of CoD and Monkey met today at the bi-millenial winter poo-throwing championships on the ice of Monkey's new home in the Deep South of Comedia.

As is usual, the Monkeys were entrusted with bringing the poo to the contest, as they have a long tradition of crafting the very highest grades of tournament-ready poo on the continent.

Monkey shot first, sheltering in their fortified position in the forest and defended by their mighty and fearless Numidian Mercenaries. As they had new poo, they were able to polish one side of it to allow one side to travel faster through the air and thus create 'swing'. This succeeded in fooling the defensive guard of numerous CoD Musketmen, eight battalions of whom 'got it in the eye'.

Next it was CoD's turn to bowl. Before returning the poo, however, a sample was hurried off to the labs of Izzardia to analyse what it is the Monkeys have been eating lately. "Any Civ who can research two techs in two turns with no economy has to be having something pretty special for breakfast" noted Professor Florence Labcoat of the Institute of Digestion in Izzardia. "We think they must be eating rare, imported Latino Flakes, but so far the lab tests have been inconclusive".

Back at the games, and the CoD bombadiers were preparing the poo for delivery. Although older poo does not shine as much as new poo and allow swing, it is a little crustier, so can inflict a bit more damage upon arrival.

Of the Gazzillion Numids defending the Monkey team, exactly 8 were hit, rounding off a very even first day's play. "We're pleased enough with the results so far", admitted Ranger Mack of the Monkey front line as he cleaned the poo from his armour, "but there's a long way to go yet".

The games continue.

ICELAND, 410AD

The second leg of the Olympooad was postponed today after Monkey athletes failed to turn up.

"Either that or we've turned up at the wrong place" lamented Loretta Poopscoop of the 11th Highland Hurlers (Swindon) batallion.

The search continues ...

Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

The most funniest thing was to open that save and see the outcome.

How did CoD convince you that they shouldnt attack on their turn ?


Thanks for allowing us to escape, & extending the war for another 10-15 turns





Having any units still alive was the last thing we expected.
Python destroyed much of their army.
And CoD remains .... untouched

As we didn't know whether units were being imported or exported from Whale Song, nor how many units Monkey had in total (est. 70-80) there was the possibility of over 30 NM fortified on a hill which would heal between the first and second strikes from the beseigers if CoD struck first. Monkey might have had more to laugh about if CoD had attacked on their turn.

On troop depletions, the civ which gets more of its economy freed up from the unit support burden isn't really suffering as long as the alliance remains strong and well-armed, which it is despite the opposition's attempt to drive a wedge between us

As for the cunning plan - we may well have contingencies in place for this.

As Monkeys do not wear underwear, let alone pants, we do not know what a wedgie is.

Suffering from ads?

Just a quick note, that I do not have much to do with Team Monkey anymore, and can be removed from the email distribution list.

I indicated that my preference was to fight it out and end it with CoD & Python on the main continent, rather than on the island.
Beta is currently running the team.


Congratulations to Python & CoD for a perfectly timed and played out war.
Hopefully, Beta can continue to fling poo from his treetop

Good Luck to all the surviving teams
