Well Lux victim invaded our country, killed a Scout, dented severall Swordsman and declared War on us. I'd say that was sort of an aggression!

Ah, well, that would do it, then.

Maybe if a certain team didn't use our scouting as an excuse to be provoked and build up a force that was inevitably going to attack us...

Darekill · March 7, 2003, 01:10

Maybe if a certain Team would have headed our intensiv warnings not to cross our country.....

Tiberius · March 7, 2003, 02:18

This is why we shouldn't let Lux members join other teams immediately. They will carry their resentments in the new teams, building new tensions and conflicts, even if not voluntarily.

A cool off period would have been necessary ...

Arnelos · March 7, 2003, 04:41

Boy... Darekill would sure love to read the discussion in the Apolyton ISDG forum about this subject, wouldn't he?

Trust me...

Poor Lux has been getting enough of a lashing on this and several related topics from the rest of us... there's no more need for continued lashing from you guys...

I think they've been duly humbled enough

Darekill · March 7, 2003, 04:52

I wont bash Lux anymore. But well i had to answer. I just couldn't help it but answer to the posts.

But that is history now and i wont bring it up anymore.

[DG]mav_son · March 7, 2003, 07:52

There has never taken place a war between Lux and ND! This is a lie!!

Official Declaration of War at Vox Controlli

I'm sorry to tell the community that i have no other choice but to declare war on Vox Controlli

We have warned them in many ways not to settle on our continent borconia. We thought we would have come to an agreement at this point. We were very surprised and upset to see that Vox have foundet West Wittlich on borconia though they told us two days ago they would not do this.

We are no fools and we do what we say. If we say we will not attack we will not attack. If we say we give you a tech you get that tech. We are honest.

We told you we would declare war if you settle on borconia. You did it, we do it!

Admiral PJ · March 26, 2003, 18:37

It looks like NDE are a warmongering civ, if they don't get their way they attack you.
We at Lux tried to communicate with you NDE, but you wouldn't be reasonable.

I would not be biased and want to go to war with NDE when i join another team, most of us like to play the game realistically, in a new team I would be doing what is best for the new civilisation team.. it is only a game I am not that worried that Lux was beaten.

It would be nice to join another team soon, I have good millitary and strategic planning skills.

Maybe all lux invicta should join NDE

then we cannot be against NDE, unless we attack you from the inside

AdmiralPJ,
Ex Lux Invicta foreign minister (i still need more training as a forieng minister hehe)

We are Warmongers?

Well look at it we live since the start of the game quite peaceful with our neighbors to the south and the north.

Ask them wether or not they ever feelt threatened by ND.

Your team showed some very strange behaviour concerning things like accepting cultural borders or even just listen to warnings that were spoken out in a very clear voice. The same aplies to Vox right now.

If it is that what you call a warmonger well then you are right then we are warmongers. We do what we say. If we say that we will keep peace we keep it if we say we go to war over some issue we do that too.

Neu Demogyptica is not a nation to fool around with we will allways do what we feel is in the best interest of our nation. We'd like to have peace all the way but if need be we go to war!

MrWhereItsAt · March 27, 2003, 06:22

In ND's defence, ESPECIALLY for any Vox citizens who read this, Vox's incursion onto the land of Bob was condemned by ALL of the civs there, and we requested that you leave as a demonstration of good faith. This was ignored, and in fact Vox further defied International will by building a city.

As nations that were faced with an external threat, four on the same continent made the place seem very small. It is small wonder that someone has declared war.

Vox, please look at your handling of this matter. If you wished to stay at peace then invading a land full of nations was clearly the wrong way to go about it. Whatever your beliefs, the very reactions from ND, GoW and RP should be enough to convince you that we take this very seriously.

As life is cooling off right now, I hate to crank up the heat again - but, we never even came close to anyone's cultural borders, and your warnings to stay off a continent that clearly has more than enough space - in deed the original game started 4 civs on that continent - are more based on greed than any snese of fairness or entitlement.

MrWhereItsAt · March 27, 2003, 07:50

So do you need the land? If so then surely asking before all this happened would have been the best course of action, in hindsight? We are not unreasonable, and cooperation is the best way to go for us all right now. Doesn't it say something to Vox that 3 teams with opposing agends have come together on this issue?

Are you saying the the game fairly distributed land then ?

That Bob should have 4 civs ?
That Not Bob should only contain 1 civ (Lego) ?

The game distributed the teams unevenly. Just because Bob started with 4, doesn't mean it can support 4.

Can you folks honestly say that Vox would have been allowed to settle if they had asked first? Or would their asking just have created a situation where you would be saying, "We told you not to settle here," even louder than you are now?

Nor do I see much merit in the "three teams have come together" argument. Yes, it means something in terms of ability to project military force, but the fact that three civs band together due to a mutual self-interest in avoiding competition for land conveys no special moral authority that I can see.

OK, we "invade" Your continent with all our settlers!!

Regarding the fairness of land distribution (as brought up by Hot_Enamel), a lot depends on the size of the continents involved. Do you have any reason to think Bob isn't at least one and a half times the size of Estonia, considering that four civs started there and only two here?

Can you make a case that you're just settling the best, lowest-corruption land available to you? I didn't think so.

Yah... 5 isn't 4.

We should consult F11... I'm betting Vox is dead last in land area, aside from Lux of course! I haven't seen Vox's land, but I can tell enough to know they got screwed by the RNG putting those straights there.

BOB is well endowed with land... Not all 'continents' are created equal. Maybe a BOB civ would care to trade homelands with Vox? :LOL:

Beta · March 27, 2003, 12:16

Thank-you for your arguments Nathan. Your Voxian neighbours appreciate the moral and intellectual support. But it is now a moot point - and agreement has been reached - the city 'sold' - and all but one of our troops have left the continent, and he will do so next turn.

We are. That city was right on the edge of our border and relatively close to our capital. A natural place to expand.

Darekill · March 29, 2003, 01:16

The city that is called Port isolation is on a Land that is claimed by Neu Demogyptica. What is GoW going to do about it. Ever considered in donating it to us? We are not amused.

Wittlich · March 29, 2003, 02:19

Darekill - How I just LOVE ND diplomacy: You ask (nay, DEMAND) the moon and offer nothing in exchange.

Just for "grins and giggles," what would ND offer GoW for this key peace of real estate? Hmmm?

Darekill · March 29, 2003, 03:25

Did i ever say i'd be a diplomat? I must have been mistaken. I'm not. What we offer is friendship and something the world does not necesarily need to know

The city is being disbanded in order to remove it from ND's rightful territory, However since we are in a Despotism we only have the Pop Rush available to rush build projects and it is currently a size one city.

I just checked the foreign office that started this thread, and couldn't help but notice it is terribly out of date. The war with Vox hasn't been mentioned, and I wonder who you had public NAPs with... Is the information on it still accurate? Has this page stopped to be supported? I liked the idea, and am sorry to see it go...
