EA Game "A Blessing in Disguise"

We, the trustworthy Atlantian Real Estate Ltd., assure all future landowners that the provinces for sale are native property of our company.
Lucky Lake is a border province of Atlantis itself. Sea of rond only two provinces away. The island of Elvis was bought by our company from Mictlan.

Or did I misunderstand your message, dear Lord of Oceania? Is your message here a buying offer in the rustical tongue your vassals speak and you want to be sure, that no other nation snitches the lands you'd like?
So we glady agree to your offer and await your paying of 1300 gold. It's a pleasure to deal with you.

(Though we're sure he gave his best, please send next time a messanger with the ability to express himself properly. It sounded so rude to our ears.)

What Oceania calls an unprovoked attack I call "attempting to come to Atlantis' aid." And unless Atlantis' claim that Oceania asserted sovereignty over all the sea is false (and Oceania's behavior suggests it's not) then my attack was not unprovoked. If you tell someone else you're going to kill me, you've still said you're going to kill me...

Crossing the land bridge was something I had to do early in the game because my start position was a 3 province lake and had nothing to do with him.

It wasn't so much the dominion that killed me, but the fact that R'lyeh is worthless if the mind attacks don't take, and Oceania's sacreds seem designed to counter just those kinds of attacks, even without the s bless. Add the s bless to it, and it's ludicrous.

C'tis declares war on the evil alliance of Rlyeh and Vanheim!

Onward lizard soldiers! Now is the time for action, while our blood is hot from the summer sun!

I'm in an alliance?

I don't *feel* like I'm in an alliance.

Your diplomat claimed friendly relations with Van, before he hinted threats to us of mindless hordes and teleporting enslavers. C'tis does not take lightly to such badgery!

If you have caused Van and C'tis to be entwined in war by sowing confusion in our puny lizard brains, so be it! There is glory in battle, and too many soldiers is a drain on public finances.

Winter is coming. Your lizards, fat and slow from the summer, will freeze while my war hardened Vans tear them apart and feast on their dead bones.
