The Celts were happy to hear that the Japanese have opted for peace. Now there is the matter of the Hittites. We have interests with these fine people but you are killing them. What is going on there?

We thank the Vikings for their patience and hope that they enjoy the secrets of Map Making, gifted by the Celts, as a gesture of our friendship.

Well, those Hittite guys aren't so nice. There's a disagreement about exactly where the borders runs -- so my samuari are helping by serving in a "surveyor" role. We hope to reach an agreement soon. Thanks for your concern.

Such a generous gift to offer Map Making to the Vikings. Although I'm happy to see such a noble people receive such knowledge, I must ask if there is some other arrangement that was worked out -- which is being held out of view? The German ambassador is very concerned about your two nations -- he mentioned it during his last visit to Kyoto.

The Celts do not wish to see Hittite cities falling into the hands of the Japanese. The Hittite nation can serve as a buffer between our two states. If any cities change hands, the situation will become extremely volitile.

No other arrangements were worked out. We Celts are fair and generous, thats all.

Interesting. How can I be sure that Hittite cities are not falling into the hands of the Celts? I see you have dispatched another warrior to spy and interfere. We will not wait for you attack first this time. However, we wish no dispute with Celts. Please remain peaceful.

Regarding your other comment, I will not race to give the Vikings a tech just to show how generous the Japanese can be. However, I strongly suspect there is some alliance between your two nations. That leaves me to partner up with some half-wit, intermarried royal leader from one of the AI nations.

Well. According to the Japs you and I are in an alliance. You heard it here first!

The Celts confirm that at no time have we been at war with the Hittities. We will give our word that if Japan secures peace with them then we will remain friends with the Hittites and will remain peaceful with the Japanese.

Okay we will try to secure peace with the Hittites. Please remove your warrior away from our borders. You have already attacked unarmed Japanese civilians with your military units. You will have to forgive us if we don't completely feel comfortable.

Maybe we can patch over this difference...and I can invite you to eat at my restuarant in Kyoto.

Peace has been established with the warlike Hittite. I hope they do not rise up against the mighty kingdom of Japan again.

Perhaps now I can buy the Celtic leader a fine sake...?

Congratulations on establishing peace. Our traders are reporting much relief amongst the Hittite people, although the atrocity committed by Japan of destroying a Hittite city seems to have induced a hatred that burns deep within them. We hope they find it in their hearts to forgive Japan for this bloodshed.

Now Lord Shogun, a steak you say? Sounds like a plan. Perhaps I'll bring a pot of Irish Stew and potatoes over, we can really pig out. I asked King Mursilis if he wanted to join us, but he only snorted and muttered something about being too busy burying the bodies of the dead.

@ both of your posts. Funny stuff.

Well, maybe I'll send King Mursilis a nice gift fruit basket with a note saying "Sorry for your loss" and a big yellow foam finger in the shape of an index finger saying "YOU ARE NUMBER ONE!" That should help

Now, what reparations have the Vikings made to the Germans. Chancellor Bismark seems mighty displeased that his capital is overrun with hooligan Vikings on leave. It's not the military presence as much as it is the looting, fornication and pissing in the street that he finds so disagreable. You can see it in his face.

And what, pray tell, is hidden in the Celtic corner of the word? I have not heard much from the Aztec Montezuma recently. Is he getting on okay with the Celtic nation? Maybe I should send a patrol down south to check things out...

The Aztecs are being their usual haughty selves. Nothing much is hidden in our part of the world except for lush green pastures, iron filled hills, and more luxs than you could shake a stick at.

Just to let Paddy know, this email didn't contain any diplomacy, just a querie regarding the save.

Well no sooner had I mentioned that the Aztecs seemed to be behaving themselves, they demand a tech. We of course refused, and so Montezuma declared war.

And so into battle we Celts go..

Yes, sorry. My message could me misunderstood. I though Andy had sent an old save, but he had sent the correct one. Thanks for raising that point Andy.

Regarding Montezuma -- well, it's hard to verify the facts on the ground since I don't have scouts in the area, but we have no reason to doubt our Celtic buddies.

I wish we could do another one of those rapid fire sequences, but I only have today, tomorrow and Monday to close out several items at work before going to China.

BTW, this PBEM is currently my fav -- likely do to the quick turn play. Thanks for that guys. BOC isn't bad, due to the massive investment we have all made into that game.

Leaving early next week (August 8) and I'll back in the first week of September.

Yes, it is exciting! I can't wait. My wife hasn't been back to China since she came to the US on her student visa over ten years ago. We are landing in Shanghai, after a week or so, flying to Wuhan, then after another week flying to Beijing. After that, back to Washington DC.
