(1st thread)

850 BC. Small world, everything else random.

West continent:
Shogun Gunner of the Chinese. Current score 183.
Andydog of the Persians. Current score 203.

East continent:
Mickeyj of the Indians. Current score 188.
Paddy the Scot of the English. Current score 196.

Our glorious civilisations have enjoyed 2150 years of peace, although that old rascal Ghandi raised a few pulses with his 'accidental' boarder transgressions during the early years.

And now let us begin Chapter 2!

turn --> Mickeyj

and then the 2nd thread came to an end...

and now we have lost The Mighty Lord Shogun Gunner to the ravages of the Persian onslaught

Good bye to you Lord Gunner. You were a great player, and a good friend. May your travels through those distant lands be prosperous for you and those who travel with you

War?

It's a very sad and foolish state of affairs. I cannot see what the Indians have done to annoy the English. We offered our neighbours a peaceful existence and this is how we are repaid!

Prepare for the bloodshed Waahaaahaaa!

oh most excellent wot!!

I had thought you might all sit down under a old faded black umbrella and look all sad in protest, but you want to make a fight of it do you, most excellent indeed wot!!

I read in my fortunes that a new position could be in the cards, that of Vicroy of India, and that the indian people so wait for day when the great english overlords move in and run the show properly wot!!

oh that is raather smashing of you old chap, raather indeed

so where shall we have our first battle then, would you like to discuss this over a cup of strong black tea? we have a fine leaf that we are sure the world will really enjoy, and I see you have plenty of good land and strong workers to produce it for us for many a generation. Kind of a shame you will not be here to enjoy it, ahh weel that be the way of such matters wot!!

In a last desperate attempt to save lives, the last official act of the Chinese government is to order key personnel to all available ships. The Chinese fleet, a la an ancient Battlestar Gallatica, flees the last Chinese city before the Persian horde overruns the walls.

and hear I was hoping you were replying to my earlier post

Mickeyj · February 11, 2005, 11:12

HA HA - Not a chance!

The mighty indians with there Pikemen and Med Inf. have been waiting for a moment like this

Blood will flow like beer on a friday evening!

Why the English would try something like this against their peaceful neighbours

Paddy · February 11, 2005, 11:20

Well you have pikemen and medieval infantry do you. Good value, bloody good value indeed. So looking forward to nailing a few of that lot on crosses all the way to your humpie wot!!

Mickeyj · February 11, 2005, 11:33

Bring it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"you want to take this outside do you?"

Shogun Gunner · February 11, 2005, 11:39

Holy Crap!!!!!

Where is my defeated, tired refugees supposed to go in our "Easygoing World"????? Your continent was my destination. There are no other landmasses, that I'm aware of, on this crappy planet.

Paddy · February 11, 2005, 11:42

"outside ya say, right then you get the curries, and I will bring the ale"

Turn to the Warmongerung Paddy

Paddy · February 13, 2005, 00:08

these things do happen

510 to Andy

Andydog · February 13, 2005, 16:28

so the poms have taken the tussle to that skanky old Ghandi. both sides seem confident. care to place any wagers shogun?

--> Mike

Mickeyj · February 13, 2005, 16:58

Turn Away

Shogun Gunner · February 13, 2005, 18:47

I have no intel on either nation -- and certainly no ability to gather some now

That Ghandi is a crafty old bugger, but then again Liz means business....hmmm...it might be even money.

Paddy · February 13, 2005, 18:59

ahhh well I can confirm that I am fighting some bloody mean types...

several archers fell to one warrior
several more fell to the spearmen

all very messy

and now I see Indian Pikemen in the tiles next to me

so I expect the Medieval Infantry are not far behind at all

well I have razed two Indian cities, and captured 3-4 workers.
My warriors, spearmen and few remaining archers proceed into the fabled lands of the Indians...

this certainly does not look to be a war of conquest as I had originally hoped...

I truely expect to meet disaster soon, yet in for a penny, in for a pound

my philosophy here is that now that I have started this action I must finish it one way or another, for I do not believe that I can allow the Indian leader time to regroup, for then he would decimate England completely at some stage very very soon

and one can not be having that now can we wot!!!

Paddy · February 15, 2005, 06:51

520ad to Andy

Mickeyj · February 17, 2005, 13:27

To you paddy

Paddy · February 19, 2005, 09:36

wow so as much as you want battle reports, you do not do them

thought so

530ad to Andy

Andydog · February 19, 2005, 10:02

Mike, what's the story, no battle to report?

-->

Paddy · February 19, 2005, 10:04

oh yeah... he fought and killed a spearman or two

of mine

who really knows

please look for my upcoming reorts in other games

Andydog · February 19, 2005, 10:13

I'm still looking for one for this game.

Shogun Gunner · February 19, 2005, 10:18

*A message from sea*

To whom it may concern:

A certain interest exists in the latest Indian-British conflict. We want to know whether we need to learn English or Hindi before our ships finally locate your continent.

Mickeyj · February 20, 2005, 08:09

Last turn: cat bombards spearman taking 1 hp, med inf attacks and destroys - no hp lost.

THis turn, no action

Turn away

English of course old chap wot!!

You may need it when the Indian Overlords secure this continent

War continues...

Dehli captured.

Mickey lost all his units there
I lost three archers, and a spearman.
also had two archers and a spearman injured

elsewhere...
Mickey lost a spikemaniac and a settler
I had a med infantry smashed to 1 hp.
gained two workers

the war against the mad injuns continues

not really quite sure what war is about

happy to accept massive bribe to cease war
bribe: Bombay, Calcutta, Kolhapur and Madras, along with any other two injun settlements. this will leave injuns wityh at least 9 settlements

so although a massive cost now, they still major power in game, and own head o' course

hope that all helps ya lot of mooners

540ad to Andy

Shogun Gunner · February 21, 2005, 15:35

Yowzah!!!!

Dehli is (was) the capital, no?

Paddy · February 21, 2005, 15:43

Was indeed

They very very quickly moved to Bombay. Oh I have a Medieval infantry and an archer on the hill outside this new capital. I expect it to fall next time I get the save

I dare say it will burn to the ground...

unless the mighty Injun leader hands over the great bribe as described in a post up above somewhere

Shogun Gunner · February 21, 2005, 16:22

holy crap..... This game is cut-throat. First the Persians bump me out soundly, then the Brits take the fight to the peace lovin' Ghandis.

My ragtag fleet may decide to become eskimos up on one of the polar caps to avoid all you nasty, war-loving animals

I'll save an igloo for you Mickeyj.

Paddy · February 21, 2005, 16:29

well actually I fully expect that I am the one leaving this island soon enough

My understanding from MickeyJ's earlier posts are that he has pikemen and medieval infantry and thus they must be mostly up north, so once they have groupped and charged down south, which could still be a few turns away, well then my number will of course be up wot!!
