[India (DoC)]

Guru Beli'Az,

We have received disturbing rumors about a great army of yours marching toward New India's capital. Note if you move a massive army closer than 4 "tiles" away from our border we have to take it as an aggressive action and you will be responsible breaking the peace between us.

Empress Shakti,

I send you this letter on behalf of Guru Beli'Az.
Yes, our army is marching towards the Indian border.
We intend to secure the border, but we will not cross it.
Media and New Persia seeks no expansion of it's territory.
We are aware of your late attempts to incorporate New Persia into the Indian empire though.

Therefore we have the full right to place our armies in our border cities. And believe me, if we would plan an invasion of your territory, we will make sure that you won't see us coming.

But if the presence of Persian armies terrifies you, I will keep them away from your border at distance, but only if you publicly renounce the Indian aspirations to incorporate New Persia, and apologize for the inappropriate proposal you made to the late King Darius I of New Persia.

As long as such a statement won't be made, Media and New Persia can't be hold responsible for bringing armies to our mutual borders, to defend it.

I once again state that Media and New Persia seek no war with India, nor do we have any aspirations to invade the New Russian colonies of India. On contrary, we are fully prepared to live up to the non-aggression pact we signed in the past. Not because we don't hate you, since we do. No, we will keep our word because we seek no expansion of our already large territory.

[India (DoC)]

Steward Oroetes,


We are glad to hear that Media don't want war with us. But forgive us we can't really understand how could you call that massive army just a reinforcement when we have no standing army in New India at all. We have an average 1,5 units defending in each colonies, most of them equiped with obsolete weapons.. ..so yes we are worried.. just as New Persia was and as it was shown it was not fictitious..

We have nothing to apologize for. Our offer was made to an independent nation and while we disapprove your actions against New Persia we don't wish to start a destructive war.. we value peace more.

But if you endanger New India's capital by moving your army so close that they could cross the border in one cycle we will have no choice but to assume they wont stop there.

Empress Shakti,

Thanks for your formal statement about your peaceful intentions,
and your desires to live up to the non-aggression pact.
As promised I will now keep my forces away from the New Indian borders.
We are not seeking war either. Like I wrote to you before,
Media and New Persia already covers the largest territory of the world.
We do not seek to enlarge it. We seek time and rest to fully take advantage of it.

The former New Persian government was replaced because it had revolted against the official administration in Media. We had to get it in line with all of the empire.
New India is not considered to be a part of our empire.

Hail Steward of Media and Persia,

No answer has been received from Prince Igor.
Combined with the troublesome secret information we got from our friends,
I can, as your chief adviser on foreign affairs,
only advise you to bring a strong defense force to our southern borders.
Please also send money to upgrade all obsolete troops when needed.

Hamid

Hamid,

All our main military production cities are now producing at their full potential.
Passagarde and Media are now on speed to deliver one army of grenadiers per turn.
Your request to send more armies to the south will be answered immediately.

I will also free some money to upgrade old armies when needed.
For now I wish to continue a peace-attitude towards our southern neighbors.
Therefore I do not allow any army improvements yet.
But if an attack will be launched indeed I will immediately free all needed money.
I will then also start drafting new armies to the battle fields.

Peace is our objective, but if agreements won't be fulfilled or assaults will
start at our city, we shall not shy away from finally seizing those cities from our neighbors
that cause most cultural pressure on our territory.
Therefore please be prepared.

[Mali (DoC)]

Sum Dak and his descendants had controlled Mali for many years. The power of Sha'Tao was strong in the boundaries of Mali, but the people were pushing more and more for a say in the government. The high priest position was losing power fast as talk of free speech and liberation were common topics among the markets. It would not be long before a revolution would begin if something was not done soon.

To accompany this revolution, Science was beginning to thrive in Mali. After successful consultation with the Native Americans and India, Mali was learning of a new material called Steel by the Native Americans. In the spirit of Sha'Tao, the Indians had shown Mali how this steel could be used for transportation. Something called Iron Horses were currently being constructed which would quickly transport people across the continent. If only a faster way to sail across the seas could be created to transport goods between the homeland and the colonies.

The colonies were doing well with the third settlement discovering a vein of silver on the hills next to them. Rumor has it that small furry creatures with fine pelts were not too far away either.

Major changes are on the horizon. Who will step up to lead the Mali people into the dawn of a new era? Will Mali continue to flourish or will this new leader bring the civ crashing down?
