Yikes, that sounds scary. Is this the same Ashdod that is sitting on Mictlan's capital? Controlling 3 capitals by turn 13 is doing pretty well, even by Ashdod standards.
Shinuyama will share a border with Ashdod soon, and at that time we will join Tien Chi in their noble struggle. We call on all nations who neighbor Ashdod to join us in this holy cause. Ashdod only gets stronger over time, and with 3 capitals feeding their war machine, they will tear their neighbors apart unless we band together now.
Don't take my word for it though!
