Scales are part of what I meant, I am interested in the whole. :) Yes, I know about consensus that Death scale allows to make strong SC or big bless and then go to early offensive. But this latter never materialized. He just sat tight. Maybe he wanted to research something, but bless strategy isn't particularly research-oriented afaik... And he had Tien Chi and Caelum as neighbors, both of which have easier time researching... And currently Vanheim also has excellent research.
Speaking of which - as a part of agreement existing between our Empire and the people of Vanheim, the Celestial Emperor hereby proclaims that an act of unprovoced agression performed by half-men of Pangaea makes them unfit for society of civilized people. So a Non-Agression Pact existing between us is hereby dismantled and we propose to enter a war on the side of our Vanheim allies.

The nation of Vanheim thanks the noble Celestial Emperor for his support against the treacherous and aggressive half-men of Pangaea. Hopefully our nations can liberate the enslaved people of Pangaea's territories.

Hmm, well I guess that answers my question of what the terms of the Vanheim/Pangaea NAP were. Just to be clear: attacks can be launched on turn 58, with the battles fought on turn 59, correct?

It's our pleasure to be able to help. :)

Re: TucoTuco - MA game for new/newish players (upload)
 

Yeah, lets go by launch attacks on 58 to be fought on 59. Also I'm completely unshocked that the cowardly Tien Chi would wait until someone else took the initiative before turning their covetous eye upon my lands. By rights I should give you both to my harpies for their amusement. However, and let it be said that I am generous in nature, I will allow you both a quick and fairly painless death.

It's very well that you are "unshocked". If you remained in shocked condition you couldn't fully appreciate what awaits you. :P
And if you can't tell peaceful from cowardly, let what follows be a lesson for you. Not that you will have much time to use fruits of this learning, but it will be good for your carma anyway. :)
And while generosity is a feature of higher nature, you can prove such by ceding your lands to us now if you couldn't help but show quite the opposite by attacking weak and peaceful Arcoscephales... :)

Re: TucoTuco - MA game for new/newish players (upload)
 

Pah, the Arcos attacked ME first while I was more than happy to allow them their pitiful little mountain lands while I fought the enemy they were unable to defeat. And please, let me know when this shocking surprise occurs, I wouldn't want to miss it.

Re: TucoTuco - MA game for new/newish players (upload)
 

Well, it was you who said that you was already shocked by the time... ;)
And don't worry, you won't mistake it... :grin:

A question: I'm going on vacation starting Monday, probably for about 2 weeks. What do you think about postponing hosting for this time? For now I don't know whether a sub can be found in time...

Re: TucoTuco - MA game for new/newish players (upload)
 

Post on sunday before you leave and if you are unable to find a sub. Unless anyone has objections we can probably put the game on hold for awhile. Pity though, it was just about to get exciting.

Re: TucoTuco - MA game for new/newish players (upload)
 

It's a pity indeed that I have to go at such a moment. It's possible I'll find a sub in time... but last time I tried, it looked like I'm not the only one on vacation. :( In any case I will need some time to bring him/her up to date on nefarious plans...
