Man is under new management and keen to begin with a clean slate. An armstise is offered to former enemies. Let there be a cease fire to see if differences can be accommodated.

Also, would it be possible if there could be an update on the state of relations between all other nations?

And hi to you all..

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

hEad, thanks for stepping in and welcome to the game!

I am playing Abysia, and so far had little contact with Man. We are at peace with no formal treaties in place.

Cleveland , Feel free to weigh in if you have a break from your honeymoon but I will give you the Ulmish perspective for all the world to hear.

As for your eastern front, basically Ulm came to your rescue many moons ago when Shinuyama attacked Man. And Ulm has been at war with Shinuyama ever since. As part of the rescue package, Man and Ulm had agreed to a NAP that expired on turn 65 but Man allowed us to move through its Eastern territories to maneuver around Shinuyama’s impregnable western Maginot Line. Since then Shin has been giving Ulm a smackdown that included executing Ulm’s pretender and prophet (causing us to deeply regret Grom’s decision to aid Man). Nevertheless, what is done is done and Ulm remains a steadfast ally of Man in these darkest of times.

Hi hEad, welcome to our little newbie game

Will try to give you an overview of my current relations especially concerning your nation. Yes, i did join T'ien Ch'i in their war against Man in the early game but after Ulm and its allies invaded me i never again shared a common border with Man until now. The war against Ulm/Bandar Log/Abysia still rages on (you can get a hint of that looking at the hall of fame). I am openly allied to Arcoscephale and still consider T'ien Ch'i a friend.

Oh, C'tis is played by Mozkito.

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

Bandar Log has had no dealings with Man thus far in the game. However, if Man has a pile of water gems to trade, we are all ears!

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

I am sure I can offer better price for water gems http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

Thanks all for the update. Depending on what has transpired with this months actions, i will contact you all in time as neccessary. Thanks for the warm welcome to the game.. tis not easy jumping halfway in on someone elses idea!

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

Lowly Arcoscephale greets you as well.

What the Ulmish barbarians have not told you is that they have ravaged our lands, and that we are on the brink of defeat. We continue to support Shinuyama, but our time is short.

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

And what the treacherous Arcosephaleans (sp?) failed to mention is that once, long ago, King Eomi and the Mighty Grom agreed that a province between our countries would remain the unclaimed border between us, and so it remained, until Arcos was seduced by Shin’s sweet lies and preemptively invaded this no-fly zone, inviting the harsh justice of Ulm upon his weak lands.

As for Shin, if someone can explain to me how to post a screen shot, I will start to document the brutal slaughter he inflicts upon the once-proud but no longer so warriors of Ulm in every single encounter.
Even worse now that he has discovered some foul enchantment that darkens the sky, leaving the hawk-eyed Ulmish crossbowmen helpless in despair.
