Destiny of Empires [Diplo Game] [Organization Thread]

[Native America (DoE)]

In my lands, we settle such disputes by throwing a ball between two sticks using a net at the end of a short pole. Everyone plays. Many are maimed, few are killed, at the end we feast and dream. Others should try it.

[Inca (DoE)]

Inca will agree that the French were in no way needed to take over Britain. It was a wholly unnecessary, superfluous, and opportunistic attack. The Vikings themselves versus the English was almost 2 v 1 by pure power numbers, perhaps that was unfair?

[Vikings (DoE)]

Lets be straight here now please, that 2 vs 1 is getting old now. For the record Vikings could have taken care of the English homeland on their own. I guess England could state the same, there is plenty of Vikings in those lands to go around and finish whatever Englishmen is there.

But i can't hide the joy seeing our allies the French come and join us and finish off some Englishmen

So beware with the Russian propaganda, sounds more like a broken record now. It is more of a strategy look else while i engorge. I am the largest civ, but hey do not worry when the time comes i will make it quick and painless for you now my little friends. Lets get rid of the ones I can't fool and are in my way

[Russia (DoE)]

I still can not understand why Russia, Ottomans, and Inca and who knows who else are fighting to keep England at the top...

First of all, we are fighting to bring the world once again in balance.

And second of all, England is no more at the top, so I cant see how we try to "keep" them there.

Anyway, is being at the top a good reason for your neighbors to dogpile you? Then I must start to prepare myself too

Actual 2 vs 1 and conquering the mainland of any nation is a thing the just Russia will be against.

[Inca (DoE)]

Inca are primarily fighting to keep the game peaceful, even if that is at odds with game participation Huayna Capac is a peace builder! This should not be surprising. The lack of wonders should be, though

Also, Inca are well aware that England's score gave an inflated sense of their "dominance". The fact that the Neandor just waltzed over and took a couple colonies, and the Vikings took their core cities in a few turns, sort of proves it...

But... He who controls Sydney controls the world!!! Oh dear, what a threat the English, with their undersized army and slight tech backwardness posed to Europe as a whole. Any day, their musketmen and longbows would have poured over the borders and razed Neander or Venetii, perhaps even Moscow, so great was their reach and strength! Yes, perhaps even a dozen crossbowmen could have invaded Gozzo... oh dear, think of the consequences of letting that go unrestrained!

Inca do not like to see undermilitarized builders attacked. It is unsettling for us, and war is bad for trade. The balance of power is now out of balance, this concerns us. We like to see things balanced and peaceful, not imbalanced and violent. It is bad for business.

[Germany (DoE)]

I still can not understand why Russia, Ottomans, and Inca and who knows who else are fighting to keep England at the top...

And Arabia too... Damn Anglais

[India (DoE)]

[Russia (DoE)]

The Inca feel they should DoW on England and Neandor both now just to confuse things even more Perhaps not best for the peace talk chair to be at war with both "sides", but perhaps it is more fitting!

Russia feels that being in war with the two "most interested" parties will show the Inca unprejudice and lack of bias to any of the parties in its highest form.

[Ottoman Empire (DoE)]

Agree with German statements above... We really just need a 40 hour turn TBH... But hey... This whole jumbled up clustersf@$& of confusion is actually quite fun too kind of like playing an MP game with blazing timer...only in pitboss form.

[Germany (DoE)]

With Russian units approaching I think it fair for me to login again to see the state of play after Russia's current move because Russia is jumping ahead of me in turn order next turn.

The thing I don't like about clumping the turn orders into bloc A and B is that it creates a mentality in everyone's mind of simplistic blocs.

The diplpmacy and reality is more complex than that. For example the Neander and Turks are NOT at war but with the bloc mentaility it creates an impression that England, Russia and Turks versus Vikings, France and Neander which is totally wrong. And things can change. I much prefer my approach where the turn order develops organically from the changing events in the game (like my new alliance with England for example.... JUST JOKING!!!)

Also, what I am saying fits in with the players availabilty to play their turn.

[France (DoE)]

The turn timer is winding down again, and I need to leave in an hour for the evening. Russia has yet to play. I am playing my turn now. I do not believe that Russia and France have any units in contact, so this should not be an issue.

(edit)

Russia is playing now. I can wait a few more minutes.

[France (DoE)]

[Native America (DoE)]

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find y'all
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind y'all
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

[Germany (DoE)]

I just played my turn.

It is not confusing at all

Mind you I'm not advancing on anyone so Catherine can go before Neander next turn (but not if those Arctic Galleons land troops this turn and then attack next turn - but of course!)
