Tales from the Diplomatic Front X

[SuperSneak]

The lowly Sioux crawled out of the ocean onto a small, dismal rock. The creation of our civilization has been slow and arduous. However, recent explorations have opened up new frontiers and room to grow in. A gracious gift from our allies has allowed us to achieve Monarchy, a state of affairs that is cause for much rejoicing among our peace-loving people. We look forward to our impending growth and meetings with other civilizations...now, about those Howies...?

Out of the darkness came a new light to the land of Lorien. After the departure of the Lady Galadriel the elves sought solice elsewhere leaving the land of Lorien hidden, to be found scores of years later by the goddess Empress. Soon word spread wide and far that the fair Galadriel had returned, though the people were far from dissapointed upon gazing at the goddess Empress instead. Soon the city of Pulse was founded, a city blessed with fish and coal surrounded by rich grassland and fertile plains. Soon settlers from other lands came to Lorien and other cities soon dotted the land. So far the borders are vast, as no other peoples have been found. A few technologies have been discovered and with the enlightenment of her people, the goddess saw fit to govern as Queen. However, it is rumored that soon the land shall become a reupblic. In the year 850bc a disaster the likes of which had not been seen in several hundred years befell the fair land--a horde of barbarians found by an unsuspecting chariot attacked and captured the city of Wish. However in less than a hundred years time archers from Works came to recapture the devastated town of Wish. Although taken aback by this mishap, the land of Lorien has strengthend its cities with several fortifications and two new temples have been errected to pray for the protection of their cities. All in all the future appears bright and all the Empress in her isolation and loniness yearns for a worthy ally...

Mean Mother,CEO of mighty Aztec empire looking for another ally to help him achieve an unevitable goal..........Space Flight !!!
Without Barbarians we expect such an event about 1800 AD. +- 100 years.

The Japanese (Me) stink! I'm stuck on a lousy piece of land covered mainly by desert and plains shut off from the rest of the continent by the Chinese - so typical...
I can see 2 other civs and the wonderful land they are on and ask the eternal question - why random placements? The only bright spot are the trade routes we will soon create but the notion I will even build space race components before someone has launched their ship is painfully hilarious.

[SuperSneak]

Perhaps the lowly will all have to talk among themselves and see what our options are?

In our last session the English continued to expand into their vast frontier. New cities were the norm, and back near the capital Libraries and markets were under construction, and many devoted their efforts to the persuit of science. One of the advances brought by research was the knowledge of shipbuilding, and our fleet has begun to explorethe ocean sea, and near the end of the session great acclaim was given to the capitan of the navy as he has apparently discovered what appears to be natives on a island offshore performing tasks related to high level agriculture. More exploration efforts are planned.

[Empress]

The land of Lorien continues to prosper as several new cities have been founded. Also, another construction effort of creating a road system to link the many cities is almost complete. While explores have been slowed by barbarian attacks from old huts, it appears our borders will be complete in a few turns and that they are contained within a large island. With the news of several ships abroad, a massive effort to militarize the land has been successfully implimented and the people now feel completly secure and are content. In fact, temples have been errected in nearly every city and two new librarys have been built for the enlightenment of our people, and a comming Republic is now rumoured. Yet, despite all these new improvements the Empress remains in isolation and lonliness... despritly seeking an ally...

[SuperSneak]

The humble Sioux continue to painstakingly expand their meager lot in life, venturing bravely into uncharted lands. Their efforts have paid off and they now have established colonies on four separate land masses. Though primitive and not as large as other cultures, they are learning much from the observation of their fellows. Recently, a strange ship was seen on the northern shore of our small home island....though we have little to offer in technology, the Sioux are prepared to trade goods and knowledge of the seas in exchange for goodwill and friendship. We have powerful allies nearby, so we do not fear the coming of new cultures. Let all cultures join together in the glorification of the human race...let us reach the heavens together!

The Supreme Commander of the German Empire is now researching invention, after this we will get navigation and seek out our fortune as the first colonial empire. Who here wants to become the first Germany colony? Anyone who dares to populate my islands will be crushed.
