Well, whaddya know. Lung has lost his third, yes, third city to superhuman barbarians who defy their puny attack strengths to blow down all buildings with a single breath. Man, their breath must STINK!!!

In a disturbing coincidence, as soon as i finished the turn and found out that Tamworth was annihilated, i saw the real Tamworth suffering enormous flooding!! Is that spooky or what?

Anyway, sorry about the slaver, but i couldn't keep track of him, so he had to go, even though he didn't *actually* try and enslave my people

This is such a fun game I don't know whether to go on the offensive and expose myself ( ) to risk of attack, or stay on the defensive and wait until something more lethal comes along

I'm sure BirdFace is wondering about the very same thing

Hey - don't harm my most polite diplomat. He was not a such bad man.....

As for a visit from me.... See I can't turn my back to the polynesians, so you just have to wait until it's your turn. Though a few cavs, pikes and cannons ARE ready to be shipped over.

DIPLOMAT?!!?!?

He was a goddamned slaver! What sort of diplomacy does he use? Bush diplomacy?

The bloody Polynesians are so far away i can't even ally with them! C'mon, the real reason you haven't invaded is that you can't keep supply lines open over such distances Of course, this is the same thing that is stopping me from attacking you

If a diplomat comes over and respects our borders, i promise not to feed him to the Death Adders

So, how is your war against the Polynesians going? It's been going a while with no signs of progress. I guess i don't get to know directly, do i? Anyway, the Australian people condole with the Roman and Polynesian peoples and their ongoing suffering from the war. We hope that it shall end soon. With a Polynesian victory

Well, much has happened in Lung v BirdBreath since last time. Our units have had far more 'interaction' than usual, what with my Mounted Archer doing the same to Bird's settler as he did to my diplo and all. I was shocked to see that BirdFace has a significant presence so close to me Still, your pathetic Cavalry dude awaits the same fate as your two slayed slavers BTW, jusy how many slavers do you have out there?

You have been very busy harrassing me for a nation at war with another. Are you sure that you're fighting them and not just playing footsies?

This is such and interesting game. It speaks volumes that we came from 3rd and 4th to overtake both AI civs. I'm pleased to keep the gap between us from growing, yet it irks me that i have been unable to close it. Then again, if what i've seen so far is anything to go by, you should have been way out in front from the start, and i should be stone motherless last. You may pay the ultimate price for not stopping me before i got developed

The question is whether we end up having a medieval war or a modern war? The distances involved are not condusive to a medieval war, but that's never stopped either of us in the past

They are not slavers - just diplomats interessed in doing some fair deals with you.

quote: You have been very busy harrassing me for a nation at war with another. Are you sure that you're fighting them and not just playing footsies?

It is not a hot war anymore as I do not need many cities in the north when you are in the south - I'm just keeping enough troops in the area to keep them busy and happy .

quote: Then again, if what i've seen so far is anything to go by, you should have been way out in front from the start, and i should be stone motherless last

Agree with the last - that is actually where I would like to see you - as for the first....

You might remember I released a babarian in the start of the game, who conquered my capitol next move. That was a major setback so early in the game.

I was actually prepared to give the victory to you when I read, that you was stuck somewhere on an island - my mind changed then.... hoping you told the truth/crossing fingers/offers made to my godless gods etc. etc .

quote: You may pay the ultimate price for not stopping me before i got developed The question is whether we end up having a medieval war or a modern war?

Modern pls. I'm sure Gallileo will help me getting first to the modern arts of warfare. And the AI polynesian are providing me with many slaves - heck, I have not before seen so many slaves in one of my cities as I have here . Meanwhile, I'm building up some fine productioncities

Yes, the rabbit entrails show lots of small skirmishes in the near future, but nothing to compare with the bloody war to come in the far future Yet the entrails do not show who the ultimate victor is

I always wondered how your cities got so big so fast! That's the advantage of starting near AI opponents, as they give you such a leg up, what with standing on your slaves heads and all

Actually, BirdBreath, had you called it quits i would probably have tried to encourage you to continue, as i saw my oppressive starting location as a real challenge, and i want to conquer it. Mobius won Swissy2 from total desert, and inherited the losing civ from another player who had given it up for dead. If a Pom can do it, so can an Aussie!!

If i win, it will be a truly monumental victory for the former world number 1

You need tricks to win.

Talking about the Lung Fast: This time you do not have any mad-navy-Pom to overrun and double the power of your nation .

And I still do not understand St.Jon - believing so much in his navy, putting so much productions in battleships - instead of making hoardes of pikes/cannons along the border to hold you and your facists back until I could give him massproduction .

It's horses for courses, dude! A massive navy is only of use when it alone can stop an army i.e. when your enemy is on another island or continent. It will certainly be interesting to see what mix of navy and army works best on our interesting world. I calculated that an sufficient force could be impervious to his navy once i got past the land bridge and could spread throughout his lands. Once i got into the fleshy bits, it was so very tasty indeed!

You may have the edge in power, but from what i have seen so far, no one is invulnerable

Bye bye, trireme! The HMAS Tumbi Umbi's daring raid into Roman territory finally came to an end, going down with all hands. Once the pride of the fleet, the HMAS Tumbi Umbi was well past it's prime, relying on it's low profile to sneak behind enemy lines and wreak havoc.

History will record this as the last defiant stand of a once great ship, destroyed by a Roman behemoth devoid of character and honour At least, that's how Australian text books will record it

Turn back in all my challengegames.

With Lung: 4 SOTL are now ready on the southern coastline of Rome to take soldiers, cannons and cavs onboard and 7 more has raised sails comming in from northwest and through the system of lakes and canalcities from the northeastcoast, now the war with the polynesian has ended. What makes me uncertain is the fact that he has at least one facist - I hope that this is the only one he has and that it was digged out of a ruin somewhere - else I am in deep trouble now.

With Rickety: Dualgame turn 115 - with normal brutal force (knights mostly) his defence is broken in both games.

In game 1, two cities are conquered. In addition to simple attack, some warriors, knights and a longship have "lowered" his income slowly but steadily - piracy on land and blocking tradegoods on sea - now 3 of his biggest cities made a rebellion calling themself babarians. And as far as I could see, Rickety will face a slaveuprise too. Anyway - musketeers and canons are on the road - comming down now. Death to the babarians (first ).

In game 2 Rickety is without capitol and have only a few cities left - less than 10 I expect.

With Hatchy: The american AI is a slaver and it does not like me at all - I have no choice but fighting them off now. Else the game is even.

With Mieciofok: Even so far.
