Greetings from The True Demosthenes. My time in contemplation has proved most beneficial. however, you must understand that whilst expanding my mind the world has undergone many upheavals, and I must familiarise myself with them before I can use my new-found knowledge to the benefit of the Welsh nation.
Fear not, the turn will be returned into circulation very soon. My thanks to the regency of Shavlor Jones and Tom 'Jones' Red, your service to the Welsh cause will not go unnoticed or forgotten. Know now that Demosthenes is in your debt and will be happy to repay you in kind whenever you need assistance.

Turn 16 ==> Jon
Upon returning to his kingdom the Welsh ruler took note of what scientific advances he could possibly give to his neighbouring procreationists, but the list is far to long to state here.
Ag Rev in one turn! Beat that!

Turn 16 Caligula.
If the Pervert of Rome thinks that he can define where the Inca people can or cannot place new settlements then he is sadly mistaken.
We were ruthlessly attacked and it should be noted by the fact that we have established a Trade Route already just how peaceful people we are but the unwarrented assault upon us was unforgivable. We accept none of 'The Deviants' preconditions and should any 'It's' Clerics or Slavers be found on Inca soil they will not be expelled but killed.
We remain at 'War Readiness' and will brook no interference from a gang of thugs who practice unnatural acts with Horses.
We shall determine our own borders and any that should interfere will be disposed with.

Upon hearing the news that another of thesebarbarians has already learned the knowledge of agricultural revolution the great Demosthenes realised that the heathen off-islanders were not to be disregarded so out of hand.
Welsh cartographers were soon at hand attampting to establish the whereabouts of these wise and noble men, so that we can share our quest for knowledge. A diplomat was immediately briefed of the situation and has set about the task of seeking out the wise and noble barbarians so that together our minds may broaden.

Tis unfortunate that the fornicating Incans refuse to share their knowledge with the Welsh on the whereabouts of the other barbarians in this land.
Demosthenes will have to find another way to locate these 'intelligent' barbarians.

Demos, If you had actually asked for a 'Fornicating' Map exchange then I would have agreed! You didn't, maybe the Scrapey is making you forgetful?

Sorry I played this last night, I thought I sent it out, but I accidently left it in my queue.

It's seems that the Incans have just produced a large amount of regiments.
Noble St Jon, are you embarking on another crusade?

It would appear to be the most prudent course of action in view of our somewhat frolicsome neighbour.
Methinks that 'The Jockey with an unconventional seat' is not given to the establishment of harmonious neighbourly relations and to ignore self-defence would be folly.

Turn 19 ==> Demosthenes
The Pharaoh held a meeting with his foriegn ministers, to discuss a threats posed by other nations; both short term and long term.
In the short term it was concluded that no threat was present to most cities, but it was advised that settlers in certain areas be sent out with escorts to protect from possible slavers.
Long term was a matter of extreme debate, some feared the Welsh technical prowess, while others pointed to the large size of Roman cities. To little was known concerning Assyria and Inca to draw an substantial conclusions.

It seems that whoever has displeased St Jon the Fornicator is in for real trouble. Once again it seems that whole hordes of regiments are being formed by the Incans.

I hope that at last the Pro-Consul will be able to show his 'rider' the path to reason and accept a Map Exchange.
The Inca have no desire to attack anyone and have both curtailed further military construction and the Army has been given orders to stand down. It should be noted that such are the warlike tendencies of the Inca that prior to the brutal attack upon our exploration unit the two Cities unsuited to Settler production had settled quietly down to the production of Caravans!
To the 'Fornicating' Welsh I would also advise that an offer of a 'Fornicating' Map Exchange has been made and if they choose to 'Fornicating' ignore it then so be it!
I am as eager as any to hear news of neighbours who do not choose to share their beds with grazing animals but without cartographic exchanges this is impossible and I am ever more drawn to the sad conclusion that the Egyptians and Assyrians are not legendary but mythical people and that we are condemned to inhabit a planet populated only by those from whom our Llamas will never feel safe.

I offer my humble apologies to my Friend and Neighbour for the delay in posting.
Sadly I was not engaged in Fornication but in sampling the delights of a strange new beverage, the recipe for which had been learned from our seaward neighbours the Welsh.
Strangly I became somewhat light-headed, absent minded and found that my balance was somewhat impaired. It also seemed to affect my vision and produced a rather unpleasant effect upon my stomach.
I warn you brothers and sisters, leave this evil brew alone. 'Be Ah', I believe the Welsh call it, for far from being the aid to Fornication that the Welsh claimed I actually found that none of my wives were able arouse my interest. I think that it actually was a plot to poison me!
Turn actually sent to Caligula.
A somewhat under the weather Chief Jon.

Turn 20 ==> Jon
The Welsh have finally managed to establish the whereabouts of the supposedly intelligent barbarians. Diplomats have been given orders to find the most direct route and seek out these outlanders for our mutual benefit.
A formal peace treaty has been agreed upon by the Welsh and the Incans. In order to stop the Incans population explosion many shipments of Welsh be-ah are being sent to the lands of the fornicators by ways of deterrent from their devious ways.
However, word has it that such premarital deviance is considered quite joyous by the the Incans, and by Noble St Jon in particular. The Welsh sailors are intending to find out if any of the Incan ports have the facilities for them to experience such activities.
Roman and Egyptian ports are also to be sampled, and perhaps a comparison could then be made about the varying techniques of these different peoples. Rumour has it that the Romans like group activities, whilst the Egyptians are said to enjoy the company of cats and pointy objects. It is widely believed that the Incans are not that fussy, just as long as they get it.....

The Depraved One does talk nonsense. How is it possible that an Empire so proud in the boasts of it's might should be affeared of a single Legion. The timespan and distance between our people must surely indicate that this is a simple mercenary who will be forever at War Readiness regardless of our orders to stand down. With the Roman reluctance, or fear, of sharing cartographic information we had no choice but to send out our own scouts. You who have violated your own demarkation line to cruelly attack our mounted scout can hardly cry betrayal.
The Inca had no way of knowing that they approached so close to Roman lands, an early map exchange could have avoided this confusion, and since we are not blessed with the sense of smell of a Sniffer Dog can hardly be blamed for stumbling about in the dark. As all people are we merely seek to learn more of our new home and it's many wonders.
As for the crude jokes made by the 'Immoral Shepherd of Cardiff' as to Inca mating habits I would strongly point out to him that whilst his people may lay with the Lamb, The Romans have their Mounts 'Mount' them and we have heard tales of how the Egytians are somewhat over affectionate toward their close family members we Inca follow nature and enjoy our womenfolk and delight in the fruits of their ample loins. Do not try and tempt my peaceful farmers and traders with your disgusting beverages designed, at best, to produce impotence and I suspect much worse!
I see you now Noble Egyptians and hope that we shall soon be able to send an Envoy to your shores. I had hoped to see some sign of the Assyrians, we know not what perverse activities they indulge in, but nothing has been gained at all. Where are you my friends?
