So the Mongols and the remaining Asian Alliance feel as though Israel should and must continue to abide by the terms of the treaty they had previously signed?

[Guest]

Paul does not believe such a treaty ever existed and mistrusts the European fork-tongues.
Sun Tzu of the Israelis is free to do as he wishes in his country with his land, including thge Suez.

Panama, however is not in AL territory and Paul is perplexed at the position taken by the AL on this....

Why does Australia not recognize the treaty? Because it was not posted on the forum prior to this argument?

[The Capo]

Regardless of how the Australians hold us as far as reputation goes, and regardless of Sun Tzu's change of heart, this treaty stands. It is an official treaty and was created centuries (a session or two) ago. For Sun Tzu to spit upon this treaty is highly disrespectful not only to me and the Mali who colaborated on this document, but to the people of Israel who deserve a fair and honest leader. Further, for the Pacific Pact to get involved in affairs that are not of their concern, and to use politics as an excuse for Israel to break the treaty is beyond me.

If it is Israel's perogative to leave the treaty, they owe the Mali and Adriatic League 150 Gold each. That is the way the treaty was written, and that is what I am holding my ALLY to. Regardless of how close our relationship is, and regardless of how much technology and money I have given to him in the past, I do not expect this to be a free ride for Israel; the Mediterranean Pact is not a welfare state, it is a mutual cooperation.

I am saddened that this incident has occured, I will discuss the matter in private with Israel in order to save this situation from blowing up into something it should not have blown up into. Thank you for listening.

Out of character here;

Its Monday morning (here in the States) and I think what we should begin doing now is deciding upon who will be the new host. So let's decide that...

Also there were a few mistakes discovered in the rules.txt the other night (they happened when I was toying around with futuristic units, so it IS important), so I am gonna make those changes and put it up ASAP, you can compare it if you want to see the changes they are so minor you probably won't even notice.

But this also gives us the chance to go back to Chris' original idea, which was to increase ship movement by 1 or 2. Any thoughts on this, or actually any changes you think we should make?

I can change whatever you want, if you don't like your title (for instance I could change the Mongolian Monarch's title to Khan, or whatever) then tell me because I can change all of this and it should be up tomorrow morning or tonight at like 7:00pm (EST).

So whateva, game is getting super interesting and I think this time everyone will show up and everything will be perfect (knock on wood).

Later.

I believe the general concensous so far has been "No" to any major rule change such as increasing ship movement.

So let me propose something new. The argument against increasing ship movement is that it will change current circumstance, how about an increase of 1 movement for all ships EXCEPT the Warship and Trieme?

[Prometheus]

Well Capo you didn’t knock on wood quick enough, I wont be here for the game on Thursday. Since it is Easter weekend I am going with a bunch of friends to the Beach. So feel free to get a sub for me.

As far as future ship movements two instead of one I don’t really care.

I have another proposition for a useless stat on our website...how about an actual population stat? Each civ would just have to report this to me before the end of the session and I couldn post it on the site....what does anyone think of this?

The wind that morning was biting and cold, the snow hard and unyeilding.

Corporal Narducci surveyed the Mongolian encampment from the hill, and turned to his advisor "Take a look" he said as he handed Captain Rossi the telescope "See that? They added another brigaded of mounted Samurai (knights) that makes what? 1,000 more?"
"Yes Corporal, I see. What are we going to do?" asked the captain, returning the telescope.
"What can we do Bernardo, send word to Orsoni, we need more reserves. Hand my my ledgers." the captain ran down the hill into the tent looking for the documents, just then loud trumpets could be heard from behind, it was hard to make out in the thick snow but a band of mounted soldiers seemed to be making their way down the path. "BERNARDO!" yelled Corporal Narducci "Go to! See who comes!"
The Captain ordered some men to go see who it was, the soldier yelled back but it was undecipherable to the Corporal. "Corporal, they are Templars! They wish to speak with you!"
The Corporal stood for a while "Send their commander Bernardo!" he looked again towards the Mongolian encampment, when the man approached.
"I am Jacques DeMolay, commander of the Templars, we have been ordained by the Pope himself!" he said proudly.
Narducci hated Crusaders, they weren't professionals by any stretch, they were religious zealots who turned against their own faith for glory, to him they were hypocrites "Look here" he handed DeMolay the telescope "See the Mongolian encampments, it had grown by at least a thousand men."
"I see" said DeMolay "Mounted Samurai, hmm, what's the current plan in this situation?" he asked.
"Nothing really, we have orders to patrol the border, nothing more nothing less, we have requested more reserves... who sent you?" asked the Corporal.
"I was sent my the Pope Pious II, he wanted to know what the situation was with us and the Moslems." he said, as he handed back the telescope.
"This isn't about religion, its just a border patrol." replied the Corporal, DeMolay stared at him.
"Everything is about religion... we are setting up camp over in that field there, I will speak with you in the morning, I too will call for some reserves. It seems as if we will need them. Good day Corporal... a Monacan like myself is not used to this bitter winter, I shall now retire to my tent, adieu." with that DeMolay left.

The Captain walked up the hill again "What did he say Corporal?" he asked Narducci.
"Not much Bernardo, the church has dipped their beaks into this. I am not happy that the Templars are here." said the Corporal "Send the word to Orsoni, we need more men, this is getting interesting....."

Just so all nations have a clear idea of how the AL are blocking the Panama Seaway within my city radius....

Hello

I thought I might mention that it is a typical Deitician trick to a site city so that disputed territory is within a Deitician city radius.

Carry on

No Chris, because this makes Navigation more important and you are researching that now!
I may have chosen it earlier. It effects everyone's tech path.

Let me say again, you cannot makes rules changes in mid game.

I vote we play on with current rules and I don't think Capo should be changing ANY future unit abilities without posting the details first.

I think you guys need to start a new thread since this one is way over the 150 limit.
