The Dance of Civilizations [Diplo Game] [Organization Thread Pt1]

[India (DoC)]

This is how I would had done it:

The pink city still can be founded, really not that great, but number of cities are quite important in civ. I hav no city which doesnt overlap with others, one of my city has only 2 land tiles which don't overlap, but has a sea resource and some coast, still worth it.

[India (DoC)]

Checking the map it seems to me that Rhodes is quite badly placed-Byzantium might not had the full view of the land then- but now it doesnt allow more cities to be founded there and many resources (including two food and a silver) will remain unused. It is just an ooc suggestion that maybe you should consider as a compromissum destroying Rhodes and divide the land between two cities, a Russian and a Byzantine one.
Most likely it's not acceptable to any of you so just keep doing what you do

[Russia (DoC)]

here's the complete an unabridged truth of the matter.

I was planning on settling 4 cities on that peninsula. because of the settlements of byzantium I could only settle 2. after the britannians settled on the north side, the one city I have there is the only city I can have there. I HAD to remove that byzantine city so I could put my two cities in, bringing my total up to a pathetic 8, 3 of which would be on crappy frozen lands. persia had nothing to do with it. that is the truth. I did ask them to send a delegation to help if things went to hell, which they did. it should have been a fast assault, chase byzantine off the continent, settle my 2 cities. end of story.

but because of byzantiums stubborness, I've now had to call in help from other nations. persia, ottoman (and others) have now decided actively help me. and dominika and I agree in this, I will NOT stop until that city is destroyed and my 2 cities settled. now you can fight me all you want, but I've decided to spend the rest of the game making sure I get that frozen piece of land. you worry about india and england? give me what I want and use your army against a real threat...

[Orb (DoC)]

Byzantines please take your turn!!!!!!!

[Byzantium (DoC)]

I had only 3 outdated armies near the battle

Persia has no vassals

You should hear what your neighbours say about you when you aren't listening.

[Persia (DoC)]

You are all of course allowed to have your own opinion, but it's foolish to think that Russia is a vassal of Persia. I have no control over Russia at all, Russia's army is bigger then mine and Russia planned and executed this war all by itself.

It's not for nothing that I had only 3 outdated armies near the battle. It's because I wasn't even prepared.
Of course I stick up for Russia, it's my ally and my friend.
Not to mention that we can't accept non-Hasconers to settle on Hascon!

As a matter of fact, Persia has no vassals.
Being a vassal is against the teachings of Hastog. Britannia and Russia follow the great Hastog and his teachings say: be independent and do whatever you want, smash those aside who are blocking your path.
Being a vassal of me would be against these teachings.

I am officially insulted by this comparison to greece of last game. He was a hollow warmonger. I have this religious philosophy that backs my actions up.
And I do not have the goal to take over the world. Only Hastogianism has to. Persia has no intentions at all to invade other nations.

The only war Persia had was against Russia b/c Russia was in the way of Persia (build a city where we planned it).

So stop the insulting and praise Hastog!
Listen to his teachings and stay out of my path.
Bunch of non-heathens!

[Byzantium (DoC)]

Russia - have you finished? I see you logged in earlier but you haven't ended turn.

[Korea (DoC)]

Was Greece of last game a warmongering religious fanatic who is bent on taking over the world?

apart from the religion aspect, which is very new wast really used in last game much.

but mainly the conspiring behing the scenes and using others to their advantage, very clever...

[Orb (DoC)]

the way persia doign this rmeinds me of greece in last game..

and Russia reminds me of japan ...

Strange how some things keep repeating....

[Orb (DoC)]

Shhh don't tell Russia that Pursia has just been using them as play things or Russia might turn on Pursia.

[Korea (DoC)]

This is all a huge benefit to India and England.
We all know that in the end Byzantium will be pushed from our continent. I made the mistake to not send a huge army immediately but trust that Russia could pull it off alone.

Now I was forced to go into a war economy and push out a large army.
When it arrives Byzantium will obviously lose, they cannot hold their position on another continent. Their supply of new armies will fall short and the distance is too far. So in the end Byzantium will lose.

But at the cost of Russia,Byzantium and Persia (and all nations behind Byzantium) losing big money and time to build better infrastructures, etc.

But hey, it's fun!
I've just finished my 15th city, enough production to build up a large army now
Who cares about libraries if you can build catapults and macemen

So don't worry, Korea, the stalemate is only temporarily b/c it's not a fair stalemate. (not fair b/c Byzantium can't support the stalemate, it's too far from it's home)

In the meantime England and India grow larger and stronger.

at least now we know the truth of this fight.

Persia was behind it all the time and yet they been trading techs with Byzantine so therefore helping the russians be not able to attack.

Good work Persia...

[Orb (DoC)]

Oh and by the way the Byzantines beat you in a war already and they never lifted a finger.

[Orb (DoC)]

My armies were still on their way to you when you gave in. There was never any form of hesitation, just a long road before they arrived.

Ha keep dreaming Persia I didn't give in you did. You wanted me to bow down to you and I refused and won. Don't try to make yourself think you ever beat me because you gave into my demands not the other way around.

Persia grows fat on the blood of its vassals.
