Veturi - LA (Started)

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

I've finally cleared out the last of the independents from the narrow stretch of land occupied by my peoples.

The people of Ice and Bone, the Frozen Sea, aren't necessarily opposed to the spread of a fellow death cult, but we are troubled at the direction this war is taking. If Ermor takes out man, my Atlantians will be hemmed in by the unliving to both the north AND south.

Our NAP with Ermor was 'indefinite' and vague, with no clauses towards the length or proper termination thereof. Instead of taking the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, I am taking the somewhat honorable route. I am declaring our NAP null and void. To be clear, I am NOT declaring war on the nation of Ermor. I've got things I'd rather do. But if the situation becomes dire, I will become involved. In man's favor, in the attempt to stabilize the situation. I would define dire as threatening their capital, not currently an issue. Possibly, the threat of an attack on other flanks will be enough to slow Ermor down and give Man some advantage. I will also retain the option to invade Ermor if I change my mind and decide to go a-banishing.

I'm not currently concerned about the state of things, since diplomatic relations with man have been cordial, but extremely limited. Feel free to carve into each other, trading territory, while I enjoy my first game where I actually HAVE MONEY! A game where I'm not scrounging for every cent?! Will the wonders never cease?

If someone wishes to negotiate with me live, I'm on aim. LazPer12.

I finally got that network game shortcut working. I'd accidentally stuck an extra - in there.

This is what finally worked for me, minus the noglext tag that most of you won't need. If you want to create a Veturi shortcut, I'll share/help.

Thanks again for pointing out the command switches. Also, a pox on Ich for throwing that red herring my way. There is no --help. A hundred years from now, when I'll be skilled enough to take you on, my Atlantians will be doing the macarena over your pretender's corpse.

Really? Have you looked in stdout.txt?

There definitely is a --help! I just tested it to be sure.

You're correct. But why the fark did it appear in C:\Games instead of C:\Games\Dominions 3? Oh well, I revoke my pox, and render apologies. Can I keep the macarena?

You may. Hmm, sounds like the extra space throws off the executable. Sounds like a bug, you might want to report that.

As 'mistakenly' stated earlier the guy playing Ermor is me and not 'Viikinki' (it's a board name in another board). So, let's get to business.

I'm not playing an overly expansive strategy at the moment, my threat to the 'living nations' is greatly exaggerated. And make no mistake, the nation first to cross my borders will face my full military might. Are you certain you want to be the one to take on the full might of my military and as such do the dirty for work others when splitting up my provinces?

Then again, we're not playing Sim City here. You're all welcome to come in and try. Someone has to die first, right? Be it me or the first aggressor...

Despite our missing w9 d4 bless, Tien-chi continues to hold back the invading armies of Marignon. Maybe they will finally realize that their efforts are futile and they will move on to easier prey.
