Vonolan Attempts to Demolarize the Celts
The Vonolan Plans become even more sinister and even more petty

In a new and daring raid Vonolan henchmen used strange flying contraptions which pass as "fighters" in non-glorious militaries, to destroy the pasture which provided the Celtic Capital with sheep.

"Vonolan attempts to break our spirit by depriving us of our source of joy of and happiness, but ya know we du have women too" said the president of the Woollybacks Associations.

"We knew... we knew Vonolan was evil... but this... this goes too far" said the spokesperson of the Pentagon, shaking his head sadly "Those poor innocent sheep...", he trails off and stares wistfully off into space, remembering fonder days.

"We're only sheep shagging bastards!" Chanted the local sports team' supporters, alternating it with "Hey Egypt! Leave our sheep alone!" (they already had the chant from back when the Celts and Egyptians could play sports together )

Dictator Blake assured the Celtic People that those responsible had been "Dealt with swiftly and harshly", upon request he elaborated "Well, usually when people misuse the sheep, we tie the the perpetrators to the post and flog them. In this case we ground them into paste and used them to fertilize the fields. The punishment fits the crime, you know."

Dictator Blake also gave his assurance that "Additional sources of Sheep are being acquired as we speak, that such a tragedy may never happen again".

I'm pretty much a one-time-per-day civ player, so I'll be anywhere in the middle at the moment (typically playing around 10pm CT). I'm not really very flexible about that though, so if turns start changing at 9:00pm CT, i'm not going to just wait It doesn't look like that's often going to be the case, however.

The Malinese Director of Truth has released the following news brief:

"The Celtic forces who brutalized our Mongolian neighbors, only one city of which were we able to save from their brutal regime, have begun to fall to our great MaliTanks. We feel that the breakup of the brutal Celtic Military is a necessary part of the circle of life, and that in time the Celtic citizens will understand why they must move on to new rulers and a new way of life.
"We feel that they will be able to adopt Malinese ways very easily, as we are a laid back people. They must simply agree to let others live in peace, and assist our great scientists in discovering the wonders of technology.
"Mali hopes to develop a new and greater understanding of the Celtic peoples by this assimilation, and hope that one day the Celtic people will find their place on the circle of life once again.
"One day in the far future."

Message from the Celtic 'Nothing but the Truth' Information Bureau

Celtia too sincerely hopes that the Mali people may learn something of the Noble Celtic ways.

Imagine my surprise last turn when I found out fighters were not able to destroy roads/railroads by bombarding them...

Sorry, sheep!

Fahrenheit 10-17

Vulgarian agents have captured footage of the Celtic dictator Blake and his wife Dolly who, upon hearing the baaad news immediately departed the capital on a scouting mission, determined to show thier people that the kids come first (apologies that Vulgaria lacks any f&*%ing decent photo editing software)...


21 holes later they had almost managed to corner their quarry...

This would be more fun to roleplay if she didn't look like a man with terrible BO.

And in the very first Year of Total War, a Legendary Celtic Military General arises, to help lead Celtia the Great and Noble to Glorious Victory!



All of Celtia stands united against the world!
Hurrah!

Mali welcomes their new Celtic Overlords


The last Mali cities are preparing to join with Celtia (The Great and Glorious). The assimilation, desired by both peoples, but particularly Mali, who aspire to gain the same quality of life as their neighbors the Mongols, has proceeded swiftly.


Interview with a Celtic "Man on the Ground":

So some are calling this an unjust War against the Malienese.
"War? I dun know about that, Wars usually have fighting and dying. Now I ask ya, what do you do, when someone is throwin' sticks at ya, and expectin' ya to be afraid? Just what do ya do? Wars are simpler, I tell ya. You just shoot the bad guys. But these people aren't bad, just misled. They even built us that nice statue."

But there has been violent resistance from the Maliense?
"A few of them get angry at us, I think because we threaten their ancient traditions. But we're not going to beat them up just because they're out of line. Those other nations like to call us a Police State, but we do ask nicely before resorting to violence, ya know."

So what did you do to pacify the resistors?
"Oh that's easy. We just called in a wee bit of air support. I tell ya, they nearly shat themselves when that whirly reared up. They dropped their sticks and ran away."

That doesn't sound very nice.
"Ya well, sometimes you just have to do what you have to do. No-one got hurt. That's the important thing."

The Celts certainly are a cocky bunch.

I can't seem to log into gamespy this morning. The game seems to freeze at the login screen. Anyone else having trouble?

You took an interesting approach with respect to that .



Dictator Blake, the people wish to know the
justification for the aggressions against the Mali.
"Irony"
