The end of the squidd business Inflate your Upload Space

Senor Calamari,

I have had a vision, colossal squidds ... big enough to feed all the people of Madrid ...

You have better to sell IMMEDIATELY your calamari business to one of your ND friends.

WOW!

I have heard these quite intelligent and sneaky animals killing sharks who came to close to the bottom. They can't eat sharks, so it must have been for fun?!

Don't worry... In Barcelona some clever inventors have made a device who shoot towed javelins from a spring-pipe.
So we can still catch the smaller coastal squids for our calemares meals using this device.

Yummy! Now I got a hunger for calemares.
and there is a resturant right down the street here...

It is known to us... it is called a Kraken, and it is some form of evil-demon-shaped-as-a-giant-squid-that-is-a-bane-to-sealife.
We actually fight those pretty efectively by using 4 to 5 heathen captives as a distraction to this monster while we surround it with some 2 or 3 divisions of archers and spearmen, and finalizing it by throwing a large ammount of burning logs over it, while using some more 5-6 heathens to distract him. This usually is enough to send ´em back home, causing as few casualitites as 100 men (without counting the heathens).

We should consider taming some. Ride the fight out of them like with horses and then saddle them up and use them to augment our might navies!

Great idea ruby and nuclearus! If we can find a way to hold our breath while navigating these monsters, we can sink enemy ships with them!

That's a great name. You've got to re-submit that one when we get some naval units

Got spare money?

Well...now that you mention it...I must tell you...we've invented a sort of iron whistle-thinggie called a squid caller. It's a whistle out squids can hear.

If we can catch krakens with this whistle, and stick reins on the buggers...they could...CONTROL THE SEA!

Marshal Astrologix...give me five krakens...and I will secure the Spanish Sea from the pirates!
