Dear Leaders of Machaka and T'ien C'hi!

I have sent this bird of paradise with this letter, to ask u if U would like to forge an alliance versus the agarthans. My empire quite possibly cant stand much of a chance versus the deep-dwellers, being about half of its size.
I offer both of u a NAP5 in the name of my people, and an alliance until the last candle lit in jörmungadr's name is blown away.

yours sincerely

Szivi

The war between T'ien Ch'i and Ulm continutes unabated. All of our troops and resources are committed.

earcaraxe · #**183** December 14th, 2011, 05:15 PM

I see. I order my people to give u a helping hand in that war.

Dear Li Xue!

We have to request a clarification here. We have issued a guarantee over your heartland, and adopted a neutral position in your war, in exchange of your allegiance to Jörmungandr.

You cannot at the same time proclaim yourself friend of our enemy.

So we have to respectfully ask you to make clear your allegiance in full transparency, so that we know what policy the Deep Council should adopt toward our Western borders.

On our part, we stand by our words. And we believe your interests match ours. Do you expect you can stop Szivi in a world where his dreams come true and he has crushed the Mountains Wise? No, in this world Szivi will leave no chance to other nations. But siding with Szivi means turning your very capital into a front line target, and not in the long term...

On the other hand, remaining true to your plea of allegiance will allow you to earn a place close to Jörmungandr in the New Order to come, and will ensure your empire in decline experiences a new golden age.

True, we do not promise you help in your war against Ulm. But we guaranteed your heartland against any attacker, including Ulm. Our position is fair and impartial. What we promise you (as well as Ulm) is even more precious than a few gold coins, gems or trinkets: a guaranteed seat at the Council of Gods, with a complete defensive alliance against anyone threatening your very existence. Do not throw away this offer to become someone else's cheap mercenary!

Finally, whatever option you take, we still consider both our nations as bound by the Oath of Peace we committed to years ago [NAP3].

Sang-i Setareh,
on behalf of Jörmungandr

We have not proclaimed ourselves to be a friend of the monkeys. We have no relationship with the monkeys. As I said all of our troops and resources are committed against Ulm, and we see no early end to this war.

Thanks for clarification, noble Li Xue. May your Kingdom revive like the volcano awakening from under its own dust.

Szivi, we invite you to stop your petty attempts at corrupting the hearts of Lords who, in spite of lesser "economic power", as you say, display greater morale value and honor.

This interest on the economic aspect of things, by the way, is quite unworthy of a Lord of your status and shows something of your greed: it is well-known that only farmers, traders and accountants care about gold. Our Lord Jörmungandr, on His part, is concerned with the Invisible, greater Justice and the world's Harmony. From this point of view, He has certainly more in common with the wise White Ones than you have.

Szivi! while we still have time! Listen to our Lord's message of redemption, free the monkey folk from your yoke and have the wisdom to choose the honorable path that is offered to you, that will save the lives of many!

Sang-i Setareh,
on behalf of Jörmungandr

What about permanent 48h turns? That would be great for me considering the probable content of future turns...

Anaconda · #**188** December 15th, 2011, 12:21 PM

I am for it!

Obviously u r the one who can save the lifes of the monkeyfolk, since your soldiers will be slaughtering them in a couple month when u launch ur invasion, at ur command.

I'm content with 30 hrs as it was declared at the start of the game (so i think everyone has veto-power over a change of this)

I'm curious about all of the player's preferences about hosting tho.

And im also open to give postponements in special cases, like a few extra-difficult turns and such. My experience is, that after a war has started, the successive turns become much simpler)
