<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">This reminds me, am I correct that you cannot propose a "lower" treaty than you currently have, without breaking the original treaty first?

I know you can "upgrade" treaties, but I don't think you can "downgrade" them.

Re: History of the Galaxy II Discussion Thread
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">No, that is not correct. You can downgrade treaties without cancelling them. Although I never saw it happen till recently in a game. It may be something relativly new cause before that game I thought as you did.

I think that you have always been able to downgrade treaties just like upgrading them. It rarely happens though, which is why you probably haven't seen it in a long time. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: History of the Galaxy II Discussion Thread
 

So enemy_unknown, how do you think the war should go? From your initial attack, it is obvious your game skills are going to carry the day in this war! However, it won't make a very good story if I give in to your demands. I just think if we leave it to skill on skill, it's almost a forgone conclusion! Let me know what you think!

So do the Heru not get a response Sachmo? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: History of the Galaxy II Discussion Thread
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Indeed you have no hope to win. By making public my peace conditions, I gave you a way to escape annihilation. What are you waiting for to start negociations ? Christmas http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ?

Then, about the financial compensations. You had a TR treaty with me not so long ago. You know what are my resources productions. You know I do not need at all these 20k mineral..Etc.. per turn. But think about WW1. The peace treaty of WW1 seed the roots of WW2. So is the peace treaty I made for you. The peace that will come will only seed the roots of future wars. You'd better start creating alliances, especially when it is becoming obvious that the Tyreans are close allied of the Katana Imperium. These resources are just an humiliation launched at the face of your corporation.

Last : your chairman. If you really need to save him, try to create a plot, and send it to me, we could work it out if it is convincing enough.

Re: History of the Galaxy II Discussion Thread
 

Well, enemy_unknown, I don't see how that would really be much fun for me to roleplay, so I guess I'll just have to play the battle out. I doubt my mega-conglomerate would surrender so easily, but it sounds like you have your storyline already.

Fyron: I read the Messages, and I wasn't clear if you were saying we are at war or not. If we are, I have no idea why, but I guess I can take your empire on too. After the war ends I can figure out why, I suppose.

Re: History of the Galaxy II Discussion Thread
 

You are wrong, I have no storyline on this part yet. These were mere suggestions. We can indeed fight it out, but it seems a bit...pointless. As you did not develop Intel, I am probably able to tople out your empire just with intel projects without sending any warship to you.

What I proposed seemed to me an interesting proposal (story wise), but...You're the one to decide, not me.

Re: History of the Galaxy II Discussion Thread
 

I have some intel, but I spent most of my research on the financial aspects of the game...because I'm a megacompany! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif The unfortunate side effect of this choice is that I will indeed be crushed by someone who geared up for war.

Sorry if I misread you, but it looked like you were saying either accept these peace demands or be destroyed. Not much option for a story there, as I see things. Alas, that is the way with history sometimes!

So, do your worst, and I will survive as long as I can!

Re: History of the Galaxy II Discussion Thread
 

I did went for military research very recently, but when I did my research output was around 10 times yours. But let's put the problem differently.

The Tyrean made public their peace conditions, and are moving to a war time economy. You seem to doubt your capacity to survive. What do you do now to survive ? Find something. surprise us !

And most important, put it in the story.....
