      To the Backstabbers we do agree to your terms for peace:

      6. A mutal commitment to not build espionage networks in each other's lands.
      The above to me means that you will not try to catch up in intel vs us now that you have so little vs us points? We will not put a point vs you as well.

      As the aggressor in this war I ask that you seek to offer cease fire and ask for the cities requested. We still have some dignity left so we will not do it ourselves. So offer us cease fire with the cities you have pointed out above to finalize this treaty.

        England,

        Yes - I will adjust intel investment to zero immediately against you, and expect you to have done the same, and neither will conduct operations against each other.

        I am happy to offer teh cease fire. However, as detailed, you cannot hand Chiel across to me peacefully, so I hope that as instructed you have removed its defenders. If not please do so immediately.

          I will do as you wish Makarios,

          I hope you do not mind OOC for me to log before you if you haven't to move out the units so you can take cap. All armies will head south this coming turn.

              Nancy Ward called a Powwow for the Native American tribes. The Iroquois, the Apache, the Pawnee, the Cherokee, the Cheyenne, the Hopi, the Comanche, the Blackfoot, the Creek, the Choctaw, the Navajo, the Crow, the Seminole, the Shawnee, the Mohawk, the Shoshone, and last but not least the Sioux nation, all gathered in Cahokia. There was great feasting and dancing and drumming and well you know.

              After three days Nancy Ward called the chiefs together for a war council.

              She addressed the gathering.

              ‘ We have tried for many moons to live peacefully, alongside our northern neighbours, the Indian, Sha’Tao nation. We have offered assistance when asked, to resist the aggressive forces from the west, but despite our pleadings to Empress Shakti about safeguarding the Native American nation and culture, she has ignored our requests and continued her policy of cultural intrusion’

              ‘ In the best interests of our nation I took it upon myself to contact our good friends the Mali nation, who likewise were suffering from this cultural colonization.’

              ’So we agreed to work together to limit the cultural spread into our territories’.

              ’Unfortunately or fortunately around about that time, the allied nations of Byzantium, England, Korea and Persia chose to mount their attack on India and its colonies in New India with the aim of capturing the Taorisha shrine. We thought this attack was pre-mature and badly timed but as our own plans were still in development we had to appear to offer support to the Empress.’

              ‘However under the guise of support, it allowed us to offer defensive troops to India but continue with progress on our real objective. Mali was building troop transports and I was building marines as quick as I could’.

              The calls for Mali and Natives intervention would at last be acknowledged

              ’We calculated that India would be so pre-occupied with the impending conflict with Byzantium, England and Korea, that the Empress would miss the build up and movement of troop transports to the Mali cities of Djenne, Waden, and Niana and of troops located there’.
              The strategy required that we were able to move marines, discretely, to these ports.

              This plan required specialist units from the ‘Special Canoe Squadron’, the ‘SCS’. I asked each tribe to send skilled men and women for special training.’

              Recruits from the tribes included: Chief Salmon Leap, and Braves Running Water, Trout Knows, Summer Spring, Still Water, Chief Rapids, Sea Trout Pool, Salmon Pool. West Current, East Current, Eel Pool, Sea Current, Ocean Current, Frail Pool, Bear Run, Strong Pool, Tidal Pool, Duane Eddy, Rock Pool, Ebb Flow, Tidal Race and others.
              These were highly skilled operatives: all highly skilled marines

              At last under the cloak of darkness, 10 transports left the Mali ports of Niani, Djenne, and Wadan loaded with the tribes Marines, from the tribes of Native America, and attacked the Indian port of Pataliputra.

              The 40 fold marine invading force encountered a company of machine gunners, infantry and airforce regiments.

              There was fierce fighting in this theatre of war, over many hours, mostly by this experienced SCS regiment but eventually the sea port of Pataliputra was overwhelmed and was captured by the regiment led by Chief Salmon Leap.

              India’s third cultural city, Pataliputra, had been captured and hence the Indian nation damaged. The free world has hope.

              Chief Salmon Leap awaited orders for Pataliputra destruction.

              Meanwhile on a bridge into the city, two SCS braves were arguing:.

              ’No I want to defuse this device’ said Strong Pool’

              ’You are too late' said Frail Pool .
              I have seen that in any great undertaking it is not enough for a man to depend simply upon himself.

                    Deep under the very foundation of Orb an old presence began to stir. A man thought to be lost in time walks through a doorway and into a room filled with glass jars of various body parts and failed experiments. In the center was a huge glass box filled with an unnatural liquid. In the middle of this box was a young man no older then 15. His hair was as white as fresh winter snow and his body was completely toned and slightly muscular

                    The man knocked on the glass to awaken the sleeping boy. As the boy's eyes opened they revealed to the man his life's work. The man then smiled and reached over and pressed a large red button on the side of the glass box. The unnatural liquid quickly emptied into the drainage system leaving only the young man who was still hooked into a machine that had kept him alive since before his birth. The Front of the glass box then opened up and the boy was released from the machine to breath through his lungs for the first time on his own. With each breath the boy's body began to respond better and better. As he stood up for the first time he looked around and saw things clearly for the first time in his life.

                    The man then spoke, "Sage, do you know who I am?" The boy quickly looked over to the man and spoke for the first time, "Yes, you are the great and powerful Kane. You made me and I live to serve your will." The man smiled, "Yes my child it seems you know exactly who I am and why you have been created. Out of the countless others you are my one success and the last hope for my will to be cared out."

                    As Kane continued to look the boy over for any defects the boy got dressed. Once the boy was fully dressed Kane led the boy to the net room over. For the most part the room was empty with the exeption of a gateway in the middle of the room. Kane then spoke to the boy again. "My child, this world's time is coming to an end because we could not live in peace. Through this gateway you will travel through time and space to a land that is unknown to you or I. What you will encounter I do not know but the key to your power and all the answers you need will come when you learn to use your eyes."

                    Sage then picked up a large metal staff and a long sword then walked through the gate, to the unknown.



                    Kane smiled knowing that even though this world would soon end at least a part of him would rebuild a new world. Once Kane could no longer see Sage he set off a series of explosions that buried him alive for the last time.

                      "We think" the shadowy figure reported to Makarios "that the Natives celebrate April Fool's day a day after the rest of the world, and this is a form of entertainment, since we can get no independent verification of this attack, but we are still working on it"

                      Makarios nodded "and there are the old prophecies that there will be wars and rumours of wars but we should not be deceived because the end has not yet come"

                        Nancy Ward awoke from her interesting Dream.

                        Hmmm nice name that for an Indian brave: Frail Pool.

                          Nancy Ward awoke from her interesting Dream to find lawyers from India demanding compensation for the Empress' heart-attack and from Byzantine tank manufacturers who had just gone into overdrive and now had surplus stock.

                            From now on the indian Sha'Tao inquisition will investigate the people's dreams too. Can not be allowed that dangerous thoughts like this one go unpunished. For a better future people must watch what they dream.

                            (( it was a good one, first I've read Persia's "did the Natives just attacked India" message.. then the story, it got me for a moment . 10 tranports are a bit too much to slip my awerness, but even one could have a fairly good chance, 2 should be enough., but i'm always checking everything.. looking for hiding transports, analyzing the powergraphs etc ... It's better to launch a preemtive strike against my neighbours, so I don't have to worry about sneak attacks anymore ))
