Destiny of Empires [Diplo Game] [Organization Thread]

[America (DoE)]

Yeah, let's not judge too quickly; we ain't dead yet!

[OzzyKP]

there is a "measured war" rule that forbids such conquests as the Turks have suggested in the Americas.

I would agree with this. If the Ottomans try to take all of America's productive cities and leaves them with a scattered bunch of tundra towns in Canada I will invoke the rule.

The natives are putting up a fight though, so maybe it'll work itself out naturally.

[America (DoE)]

I am losing more than half my country in two days, as the only four cities that are worth anything will be gone next turn, so that is fairly hardcore. But I could live with that, since it greatly increases the opportunity for storytelling. However, it does mean that as an in game civ, America will no longer have much to do, as the other cities are in barren lands, so no growth or production until a much later stage in the game, when everybody else is already miles ahead. The problem is that America was already far behind to start with, as Ozzy explained earlier, because of some mistakes with map planning.

But hey, I'll roll with whatever happens. If the Ottoman Empire feels this fits in their storyline, then I'm not going to complain. I'll just come up with some more weepy speeches
Damn Turkais!

Welcome to the 'real' world.

Damn Turkais...!

Welcome to the 'real' world.

[America (DoE)]

That had me howling with laughter as well

Artist impression of Prince Xochi looking like the strong and silent type, with the American Eagle in obvious distress in the background.

Brilliant! Just brilliant! You got 5 points from Russia on the next voting

[America (DoE)]

Sorry, just sent the peace terms. Basically what is going to happen anyway as you pointed out. And 3rd world? You are ahead of me in rank! With more tech IIRC!

Stay tuned for some shocking Irina news!

More tech? Well, depends on what kind of tech... I can produce musketmen at most and have only recently built a few national wonders and started putting up my tech sliders to catch up with things like music and such To get to the level of military tech you have, I would need another 50-80 turns And with regards to the peace terms;
In game I responded that it is impossible, blabla, America this and that, cease to exist, etc. etc. In truth, you will completely crush America, and we will never recover if your demands are met. You will literally take away all our production capabilities. The other players in America who can see the map can vouch for the fact that I have no other noteworthy cities. Once you take those, it'll be the permanent stone age, because there is no fertile soil anywhere else. So keep that in mind. On the bright side, it'll give me the opportunity to write about the oppressed people of the USA, the hardships, the pain, with no light at the end of the tunnel, etc. Lots of opportunities for storytelling

[England (DoE)]

Another war?!

This very well may be the most violent diplogame ever.

Yeah, turn order has to be like this now, because otherwise you get a double move. You sacked Havana, and surrounded Washington, so if you would get first move now that would be a bit painful

Although, to be honest, I don't think it is going to make much difference for you, as you have cannons, cossacks and marines, and my strongest unit is a musketman, of which I have two America has virtually no resources (biggest city is size 14) and your about to sack the only city that has any noteworthy production. Basically, you're attacking a third world country, you tyrant! All will be forgiven however if we get Irina, preferably naked (btw, you speak of terms of peace in the story thread, but I have not seen any?)

[Ottoman Empire (DoE)]

Yea I saw you logged in and was going to just double check with you what order you wanted. I was actually waiting to get this India-Japan thing resolved because I wanted first move and I didnt want a post-attack reload, but Oh well.

And Peaceful? I think not I know what you were up to Anyway, should be fun

[America (DoE)]

Yes, I see that you are taking your frustration out on the peaceful Americans...

Anyhoo, I just saw my score drop, so I logged in to see what had happened, but made no moves, because I think that would mess up the turn order right? So from now on, turn order is:

1: America
2: Ottoman Empire

Damn Turkais...!

[Ottoman Empire (DoE)]

My previous post can be seen above, extra emphasis added to show the point. I consider the matter closed

OK so since that matter is over, now and I am 100% sure there will be no reload, I will take my turn now. I am still screwed and damaged by this controversy, but the screwing is just a little screwing (not full on penetration), so I will take my frustrations out on somebody else and just play on
