Vox Daily War Report Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

From the Voxian Ministry of Information.

Vox Controli advises that we will be reporting daily on the events and course of the war in South Estonia.

730BC

Vox troops are advancing along the planned routes. Everything is on schedule.

There is however, one disturbing event to report on. A GS observer warrior who was cornered by two Immortals (Harry and his trusty sidekick Mo) committed suicide rather than attempting to fight. This would at first glance appear to be consistent with the earlier report that Grog fought like a girl.

However, on closer examination, Vox security forces found a book lying next to the body. It was titled "Luxian Mythology - How to meet Trip in the After-Life".

This is what I was dreaming about! Daily war reports! Do you have embedded reporters?

We, Lego, are concerned because of the possible civilian casualties of this war and therefor ask to be permitted to land a neutral observer on Estonia

It seems the Despot 'The One' has pop rushed out this update as it does everything else. Voxian reporters have been whipped into footgear for the troops, and now there are few left to report on the century long journey the Immortals take to their doom.

GS hopes to free the slaves Vox calls citizens. Our only fear is there will only be corpses to free by the time we can reach their cities.

The uniform of the Immortal is stained with innocent blood. Soon to be mixed with their own.

The Storm's resident poet pens his lament to the mighty Grog, who shall be avenged:

An ancient man bearing an ancient Task,
An ancient age upon an ancient Mask.
A Heroic Watcher for Immortal sounds,
Forever chained in Immortal bounds.

From the Storm you came to us,
To save us when fog befalls.
Back to the Storm you returned,
As the Ancient Age palls.

(To the great Storm you held great Love,
"A tank" you cried, "Grog want TANK!")



This is adapted from Tolkien's "Lament for Mithrandir", although I've changed it rather a lot.

I'd like to add my own tribute:

On empty mountain, all alone, our valiant warrior stood,
So far from home, so far from friends, was doing all he could.
Watching, ever watching, for a danger to his land
With none for many miles around to lend a helping hand.

The centuries went by and by, him bravely at his post,
Never wavering from the place where he was needed most.
He knew the risks, but still he stood, faithful to the last,
E’en though the era of his kind of fighter long had past.

Until one day the evil, vile betrayers struck him down,
They killed our bravest warrior, our great hero of renown.
Their blood is now upon their hands, and we declare, “A Pox!
A pox upon your houses, you vile murderers known as Vox.”

Grog may be gone, but not forgotten, not in a million years,
For his brave spirit overcomes all worries, doubts, and fears.
And as we move to victory, it’s him we have to thank,
His famous words of inspiration, these, forever, “Grog want TANK.”

Ok, we can all agree that GS can use "flowery" words, but they have not responded as to why their second warrior lookout/scout commited suicide instead of fighting.

So far the casualties for GS/Vox are:

GS: 2 (Warriors): 1 death by battle, 1 death by fright.

Vox: 1 (Immortal): 1 death by battle



EDIT: Updated current casualties.

Vox, one immortal killed by a war chariot. Guess what that means? Our strategy of depriving Moe the Morbid of the combat experience he would need to stand up against our war chariots worked perfectly.

And how, prey tell, did you manage this supposed act against our Immortal? Hmmm? Talk is cheap, lets see some action to back up your claims.

Isn't Vox in its Golden Age too?

Ohh wait... they're still in Despotism, so most of the added production and commerce will be put to waste by the "standard tile penalty".

Grog's eulogy from Vox:



Yes, Grog was there, tending his sheep,
Having fun with them, and getting his sleep.

He was fat and lazy, not much to do,
Then war arrived, and Eli too.

So storms may rage, and winds may swirl,
But the real truth is - Grog fought like a girl.
