An American backpacking through Europe writes a letter home telling his parents that the trails through Europe are not all they are cracked up to be, there are too many *bumps* along the way. However, The sites are terrific to see. The Former French Alps, Venice, and the brand new nation of Jugoslavia. Europe at peace is a terrific place to visit, it is too bad that tensions have flared recently over trading rights.

Obviosly one effect of the new tarrifs will be the improvement of the railroad system...

Peace and prosperity... The russian ministry of engineering is pleased to report the russian engineer corps boasts at least 26 active engineers, and more are being trained as we speak...

In other news, prime minister Nicholas has been busy this week flirting with his secretary, and offers his apologies to the international diplomatic corps for his absence in political affairs...

Italy, May 1905

With money from the newly enacted railroad tarrifs the Italian government can today anounce that they have enacted a new defence system which involves the arming of local citesenry in case of war.
This will make our nation far more difficult to occupy for any foreign invadors, Prime Minister Henriko proudly proclaimed earlier this week.
The people in charge of the creation of this new "Guerilla Defence" system have been sent to Jugoslavia, Turkey and Germany as experts, and are there to modernize these nations defences in a similar way.
While many millitary analysts are perplexed as to why Italy is helping Germany modernize thier defences it is rumoured that this has to do with a debt placed on Italy in connection with the fall of France.

Oh, and everyone, I'm planning on getting a site going for this game. What I need right now is screenshots. Lots of screenshots, of anything and everything.

Ioanes, do you mean a site about Age of War or about this PBEM?

About this pbem

Ok, felt like a stupid question.

Well, now I'm in school full blast, so I may be a bit slow in getting things done. The web site is taking far back burner right now, but if I can use one of my graphic design projects for it, I'll try to squeeze it past my teacher.

And yes, I love school. The professors are EXCELLENT and I'm completely JAZZED up for classes like Philosophy and Graphic Design, though not so much for Calc, though I'm not fearing it completely anymore.

Speaking of which, who's turn is it?

In this month a shipment of gold from Trieste reached its destination in Danzig. A small profit of only ~185 gold was recieved for these goods. A distressing matter indeed, as gold is a rather valuable comodity itself, and also that Danzig and Trieste are both healthy cities. Premier Kleshnikov was confused when he read of the international gold rates, and wondered if there might not be some corruption in the Jugoslavian shipping industry. He vowed to crack down on wrongdoing in this sector, and promised the miner's they will recieve whats due in the future.

JMarks, regarding the screenies you wanted, I use a separate set of files for my game, so mine will look all wacky, is that cool? I have one here that demonstrates.

FMK, whatever graphics you have are fine by me! It'll give more variety from the different 'cultures' and the like.

Scientists Push Boundaries!
Exploration of Air Begins!

CEU scientists have succesfully prototyped a new vehicle only kown as Mr Thingy, and it has the potential to revolutionize warfare as we know it.

Also known in the skunkworks as 'Bob' and 'Carrot Man', the public discarded these names for the more popular sounding 'airship'. Two airships are currently being produced in the CEU's most productive cities, and should provide the army a new mobility it hasn't seen since three years ago when France was conquered within 6 months.

The most productive city in the world is now Prague, home of the Skoda Industrial works. It now produces 72 shields surplus above its 5 shield support costs.

A mechanic was quoted to have said, 'kiss my monkey wrentch Naples!' He also said many other things which we are unable to print due to our family friendly policies of this paper.

Speaking of which, who likes my new avatar? I made it myself.
