*Enter Vampire Count*
VC: Milady, the crypto-fascistic communists of Abysia have been routed, and their offensive destroyed as they sought to continue their illegal, and scandalous advance into the motherland. As you predicted, Reagan Smashed.
Trish: Eeeeexcellent. Guards! Fetch the messenger! And the cow!
*Enter Messenger, with Cow*
M: Milady?
C: Moooo?
Trish (to Messenger): Send the Abysians this message.
Turn 24, a month that will live in infamy. The peaceloving thralls and undead of Ulm was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the bloodthirsty human and undead forces of the Despotate of Abysia. This attack was unprovoked: no action even remotely aggressive was undertaken on our part against the Abysians. It is clear, from the disposition of Abysian forces upon our demilitarized border in the turns leading up to it, that this was a premeditated act of aggression. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in Niefelheim, we shall fight on the hills and mountains, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength of the arcane, we shall defend our homeland, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the plains, we shall fight on the wastelands, we shall fight in the forests and in the farmlands, we shall fight in fortresses; we shall never surrender. Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the Ulmish people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.
M: Smashingly good, madam. Delivering it right away.
*Messenger Leaves*
Trish (to Cow and Guards): Deliver this cow to the Abysian messenger outside the gate.
You know how.
C: Moooooo?!?!?! Moo!!!!!
*Guards take away Cow*
Trish: Yes, yeees. Everything is going according to plan. Now they will witness the power of this fully-armed and operational battle stat-, err nation! *cue crazed laughter* *cue coughing fit*
In less ridiculous mode, I reject the Abysian offer of peace, after they launched an unprovoked offensive upon our lands. Any such peace with such a vicious and violent neighbor is out of the question, as it will inevitably be violated by these vicarious vermin. Ours is a vendetta, that shall see the vacillating varmits vapulated vegetely. They tried to vulnerate the vespiary of Ulm, and shall be dealt with accordingly.
In serious mode, until Abysia shows that it will abide by such a peace (of which it has shown no signs of doing), there will be no peace. They must vacate the lands they have wantonly occupied from the peaceful peasants of Ulm, and additionally raise the siege of Niefelheim, as well as provide a small connection between Niefelheim and Ulmish lands. Unless such terms are met, then Abysia has not shown good faith in adhering and forging a lasting peace between our nations, and there can only be grimdark war (in the 41st millennium, no less).
That being said, Operation Reagan Smash was quite a failure. My communions didn't all go off, and they didn't fire any Solar Rays or Dust to Dusts (note to self, remember to place mages
in range of the spells they're scripted to cast). As a result, the losses we took were unacceptably high for what should've been a complete rout (it should've been an "ITS A
TARP [Trap, even!])". But that scripting error almost turned it into
this, though not quite. At least we didn't lose a whole lot of
metal bawkses.
So many nerdy references, so little room. _(<_<)>

No so much straightforward, since I was the one attacked here (I'm starting to see a pattern with my MP games...always fighting defensive wars, hurr).
