We do not remember declaring war. We do remember withdrawing from a NAP,
because, in our opinion, you were acting in bad faith by building an
uninterrupted wall of temples on our border, at a time where we were in
a real danger of dominion death, and your dominion was already one province
deep into our lands. And we did not attack when the NAP expired. You did,
a number of turns later, without a declaration of war.

Of course not. Do you really think you will have time for looting? You
really believe that you will be able to stand against Fomoria or R'lyeh once
they have beaten us? I hope we are still around to laugh at you by the time
your turn comes.
> Also, we will have cappucino machines in all our temples.
Hot drinks? Is there nothing you'll stop at? That's it. Between liars
and hot drink lovers, and fellow giants that are just better at conquering lands
than we are, is there a wonder we do better against Tien Chi and R'lyeh that
against Fomoria?
Come on, Fomoria, say something to upset us, so that we give you some fight!

Hmmm. Well, if you insist...
I think I could disclose the real reason behind our attack on Niefelheim this turn. All this talk about 500+ earth gem Forge of Ancients, and massive blood stones and clamming operation of Giants is just a pretend for unwashed masses in our nation, as well as arguments for our neighbors. Don't get me wrong - all this is true, but it's nothing compared to the real reason for this war.
In the heart of our war against our giant cousins is a breeding program.
You see, after unsuccessfully trying for many generations to get rid of the dread Curse that is affecting our nation, the High Council of Fomoria was getting desperate. They have tried dreadful magic rituals, forbidden alchemy of Ancients, blood sacrifices of tens of thousands strong - nothing worked. And then, just few years ago, our divine Lord had come up with a wonderful idea.
If we can't break the Curse, perhaps we can fool it by mixing our blood with other similar race. Top secret experiments performed on Giants's prisoners have confirmed - our nations can produce offspring. And these half-breeds were indeed free of the Curse! What even better, these half giants half fomorians can breed with native fomorian, and their offspring is also unCursed!
Apparently this Curse only affects 100% pure Fomorian, even small fraction of other blood will make person immune to the Curse effects.
After that stunning discovery the fate of Giants was sealed. We are going to conquer your race, than we are going to select 10.000 strong and healthy Giants females. The rest of the population will be exterminated, to prevent possible future uprisings. Selected females will be brainwashed and transferred to breeding farms. There they will be impregnated by Fomorian males, and gave birth to the offspring, after which they will be impregnated again, et cetera. The Giants is a strong race, so our scinetists have estimated that each female will be able to give birth to 20-30 halfbreeds before her body would fail.
So you see, it's a pity that your race must die, but in doing so it will save our own race. In other words at the end it will be for a greater good. I am sure you will apprecaite it.
