Re: War is Hell 3 - Running
 

Lanka is looking to trade for a hammer or possibly two. We have d,n and a little bit of e gems we could trade.

Lanka is also pleased to announce that Ulm has been crushed, and the last vestiges of Ulm will soon be occupied by their new benevolent lord. The Ulmish peasantry rejoiced greatly as their oppressors were thrown down, and a Priest was even seen rallying an army of converts to our cause in a former Ulmish province following the siege. This is a sign of the justness of our conquest, and a warning to the foolish reptiles of C'tis who would interfere in a war that was none of their affairs.

We see Mictlan desires to make a meal for the armies of Lanka as well. My demons are not picky, but the rajas are asking to reduce their food intake because they might get fat on all the meat they've been getting.

We might point out to the other nations of the world that a great hue and cry went up about our demons, but Mictlan is at least as bad, if not worse (the jaguar warriors we see in abundance are a far better unit), and they actually do have a dominating position in the game, including the 2nd largest nation at present. Further, their position tells us they likely have multiple neighbors. Given their commitment to warring against us, we'd point out to their rivals that now is a perfect time to strike against the Mictlan threat and eliminate them.

If afterwards you feel obliged to feed Lanka's demons by warring on us - well, you'll have to go through them anyway. And if Lanka should fall, we'd rather fall to something more than crazy people in cat leather.

As a post-script, the nation of Lanka apologizes to the peasants trapped in the last hold out of Ulmish oppression. Current political realities make liberating you infeasible at this time. (Sorry Meglo, i hate to leave you in the game with one province and no hope of doing anything, but Mictlan wouldn't leave me a turn to finish you off properly).

Re: War is Hell 3 - Running
 

Lanka squeals in terror as it reaps the whirlwind that its mad aggression has called down upon it. Our priests have predicted that the time has come to put this beast down. Mictlan does not begrudge any who wish to aid us in destroying Lanka.

We, too, point out to Lanka's neighbors that now is a perfect time to strike against Lanka and eliminate them.

Re: War is Hell 3 - Running
 

Yes, if you want to throw the game, aid Mictlan. Because rest assured, that's what such actions would amount to. (Not that we have real neighbors to take advantage of your 'offer').

Re: War is Hell 3 - Running
 

Apparently everyone is ok with Mictlan not only being a leader in number of provinces, but also adding 2 additional capitols to his empire. Because rest assured, Mictlan has enough muscle to conquer us given time - which is exactly what you're giving him by not attacking him.

Any neighbors of Mictlan who don't want to have to conceed the game to him in ~10-20 turns might want to communicate with us about helping defeat the Mictlan menace.

Re: War is Hell 3 - Running
 

I think the proper tactic for everyone else in the game is quietly sitting on the sofa with some popcorn, watching Lanka and Mictlan slug it out, and then promptly dog-piling the winner. =)

Re: War is Hell 3 - Running
 

I don't know why Lanka iss panicking now; they sshould have sstarted panicking when the invinsssible armiess of C'tis firsst marched againsst them. In any casse, Lanka'ss doom iss approaching. After a sshort layover at Yomi'ss capital, our legionss are once more on their way to Monkey City. Make your peace demon-ape'ss, for in 1-4 yearss we sshall arrive!

Re: War is Hell 3 - Running
 

Wah, wah, wah. Mictlan is tied for 2nd in terms of provinces, while C'tis kills Yomi pretty much unopposed and Sauromatia apparently just racks up provinces. So I wouldn't say my win is exactly assured in 10-20 turns... or maybe it is, in which case everyone should just concede now =)

Re: War is Hell 3 - Running
 

As an aside, I am starting another random nation game, this time late age, using the CB 1.6 mod. If you'd be interested in signing up for that as well, PM me or post in that game's thread.

Re: War is Hell 3 - Running
 

It lookss like the long war in the North, alsso known as the War againsst Ssauromatian Terror, alsso known as the Coward'ss War, iss finally over. After a year of maneuver, PD killing, and the rare outright battle, the endlessss undead of C'tis finally overwhelmed the cannibalss of Ssauromatia. No more sshall their ssacred calvary cassually sslaughter drovess of C'tissian heavy infantry. No more sshall their poissoned arrowss chew up our archer auxiliariess. The Ssauromatian leadersship hass fled into the sswampss around their capital, and ssunk deep into the mire of hisstory. Good game, sslobby. You fought well againsst very difficult oddss. There were a lot of monthss where it wass touch and go, and you came closse very closse to massssacring my main army. I alsso have to ssay that you were at a major dissadvantage sstarting the game out, given how low the population wass in mosst of your home provincess.

Now that Ssauromatia iss done for, it lookss like there are 4 contenderss left. Any sstoriess from elssewhere in the world? C'tis for one iss looking forward to developing itss peaceful corner of the world, and only hearing taless about battless in faraway landss.
