All is peaceful in the land of Egypt, although shepherds near the city of Jerusalem have reported sighting a New Star in the heavens above Canaan. Egyptian scholars in Merneptah's Hall scoff at such rumors.

Diplomatic Note to the Kings of Crete and Persia: Pharoah has used the AI to terminate the state of war between Egypt and Minos (?), and requests that Persia and Crete use the AI to establish peace between their nations and Egypt. This will allow Pharoah to establish a diplomatic setting of "Enthusiastic" toward your nations, thereby reducing the chance of AI-instigated unpleasantness.

A tall obelisk has been erected in Ecbatana in honor of Egypt. The Persians continue their rejoicing over recent promising ideas, such as plowing the land and trading with other lands.

The dark gods of the past have been thrown out of our temples. The people are curious about the Southern gods of the Sun and Harvest and the Eastern gods of Light and Rebirth, and demand priests who can reveal their mysteries.

Pharoah - Persia welcomes peace with Egypt. Please arrange it on your turn, or tell me how to do it for my next turn.

Sparrowhawk - If Kengel hasn't left instructions with you, please check his last post... I think he said he would be away.

La Fayette, is your e-mail working well? It looks my e-mails are lost or slowed down terribly.
Now I got your answer to a 14-days old e-mail and my 2 newer e-mails remain unanswered.

Maybe Straybow has a better connection to LF? My messages weren't anything against you

"Riverwar " is a scenario created by Allard S.Höfelt, with gorgeous graphics and a very original events file. It is a short one too (it took me no more than 4-5 hours to play it).
Unfortunately there is a bug in the scenario file that you can find on the Spanish site, that makes it unplayable.

I would advise anyone to have a try.

It looks SparrowHawk was incautious with rockets when greeting new year
or
kengel prepared him a too hard puzzle and SparrowHawk gave up
or...?

all of the above?

I have the turn and info. it is just not as easy for me as a control N fill in. I do know now what I have to do (I needed clarification from kengel, but I have that now) I just need to find the time to actually play the turn now and I haven't......sorry guys but I do promise to try to get to this soon.

Okay turn played, and not that much to do, I am not sure why I thought it would be so difficult to play...maybe I can blame it on my Canadian interpretation of kengel's instructions ?

Hopefully I did everything okay, he told me to attack everyone on this turn, but I couldn't quite reach everyone so I just attacked those civs I could access

So who continues to play? I suppose kengel, Kull, me, maybe germanos?

I think the game will be less fun now than it was with 7 civilizations.

La Fayette, Straybow, Peaster - maybe now you could replace SparrowHawk occasionally so that he doesn't have so much of work?

No one told the Minoans to attack anyone.

leader of Persia

It looks Peaster plunged into our game. From his e-mails I think he would like to be a permanent leader... (some official statement from Peaster would be good now).

Stefan announced possible return in January. I think he is out for long time and in my opinion we should reserve him the place only to end of January (and to send him an e-mail about it). Please send your opinions.

IMO we should agree on some conclusion now because Peaster is right to have these points cleared.

Thanks, ST. I have enjoyed this more than expected, and would be happy to continue if Stephan does not return. Or let go, if he does. But it would be nice to know his plans.

We traded a few brief emails in Nov, and he told me to play the Persians as I want. Nothing since then, except his post here. I tend to think he won't return.

I have not committed the Persians to any major new treaties in his absence, but have made plans. The time has probably come to deal. If anyone has anything urgent to say about Persian policy, please contact me within a few days.
