Semi-random-map test game - STARTED

[Ewierl]

Do not spread your lies across this world like you have your armies! You could have had half of our island to your peaceful expansion, but instead you chose to storm down my peninsula in search of war.

We hear your chattering armies outside our gates, but we are not beaten yet. You may try to cloak your aggression in evasive little human words, but it will not go unpunished!

Ah the nattering of cavemen - does anyone wonder why we took it upon ourselves to civilize this island?

[Hellboy]

Gems for sale! Gems for Sale! Gems for Sale!

We are looking for earth gems, and we have surpluses in astral, nature, air, fire and death.

Let us know (via PM) if you are interested in trading on turn 19 or 20

Pan Taewon,
T'ien Ch'i

[DrPraetorious]

Don't do it! With that island all to himself, T'ien Ch'i is a threat to the entire world, and we need to band together against him!

On that note, I have excess air, water, nature and fire, and I would like earth and astral gems.

I will trade fire for earth at 3:2.

On a related note, we are well on the way to restoring Democracy to the poor towntrodden people of Marverni. After a brief period of transition, the Marverni Provisional Government will be able to take over peacekeeping duties within the Special Administrative Zone.

Long live the Republic! Long live Knife Bright Insight!

[JayThomas]

Yes, going bare chested against the burning ones, not a recipe for success.

This game seems remarkably fast for my first time.

This coming from the land of the ever feared Niefel Jarls. The land that tops the charts for Income, Gem Income and Research (and nearly tops it for province count).

You draw your own conclusions...

[Ewierl]

An island like this one is a very large place to fortify, grow, and send forth flying and underwater Celestials! T'ien Ch'i, for all his lies of peace, has more capacity to rule the waves than anyone else... save perhaps we poor cave folk, but the charts make our plight clear!

[WSzaboPeter]

Anyone wishes to sell some blood slaves, I can and will give gems (1:1 ratio!!!) and/or gold. Thanks a lot in advance.
About the Lanka vs. Yomi war... Well, I would not bet on Lanka's survival.

[Baalz]

Heh, no doubt. That was certainly the fastest I've ever gone from "sitting pretty" to "completely decimated". Immediately after committing all my forces into a struggle with Yomi (after a neat diplomatic feint from Mictlan, and believing that they were more occupied with Abyssia than they were), a massive hoard of savages broke all along our long border screaming for blood. They neatly hamstrung us, cutting off the reinforcements intended to overwhelm the Yomi nation with 2:1 odds. Cleverly destroying several of our smaller armies before they could regroup, a massive Mictlan army is about to storm one castle while the Yomi counterattack (which overwhelmed my now unsupported invading forces) prepares to take another and almost all of our forces have been most heinously slaughtered. Having no chance at this point against either one of the two nations carving up our empire, viceroy AI has been left in charge while I go into hiding in exile.

Good game all, and I look forward to playing again in the future.
