AU601: Declaration of Intent

[alexman]

Now what kind of mean SOB would ever do a thing like that in a friendly AU game?

[Theseus]

The deeply sympathetic to Krill and frustratedly kicking himself in the head for having agreed to play against Nathan kind of SOB?

[alexman]

No, I was refering to what Dominae did. Everybody makes fun of Canada - that's no big deal.

[Krill]

here is F4...I am not going to translate any of it, either

[Solomwi]

My Latin is about ten years rusty, but I'll take a shot:

Dominae's Romans, with all their friends are attacking my soldiers, my cities are under attack... they are dying

Now come on, somebody help with the Greek (and patching up my Latin).

[Krill]

Dominae's Romans, with all their friends are attacking my soldiers, my cities are under attack... they are dying

close, but some of it is wrong. I'll let other guess before I answer...

[Tassadar500]

Let me try: Dominae is too hard. I wish I was playing Theseus. Nuclear Master is better than me.

[Solomwi]

You can't talk smack... you're Canada!

[Tassadar500]

An OT AU thread? How terrible...

I don't want to take sides here, so I'll just assume the head role of Canada.

It's still on topic. See?

I actually did (and still do) feel bad about this.

If Krill really is in as much trouble as he lets on, our game will not last much longer than 20-25 more turns. That's not much fun for either of us. I'm secretly rooting for Krill to turn it around.

I think it was a mistake to select Demigod as the difficulty for our game (AFAIK we're the only ones). The swing effect of alliances in the early-game is simply too great above Emperor (even then I imagine it can be painful to be on the wrong side).

*** Spoiler ***


no, in reality I brought this on myself, by attacking Persia (Dom, remember that I said I was settler bopping? I lied, I took out 3 workers next to Persias capital)


Personally, after playing this game, I am happy playing on emperor with the AU mod. That is fun (for me) and does not require skills I don't have.

I just recieved a PM from some one who wants to know what the translation of the caption is.

You knew this was coming, but... It's killing me now . You have my word not to tip it off if you fill me in on the Greek and Latin translations in your screenshot. Please...

fine, but there is no Greek on that. I can only read and write latin. The bottom reads:

Dominae of Rome with all the allies (I should have wrote sui amici, his friends) has attacked my soldiers, my cities are under attack...I am dead

the top is

We who are about to die don't want to

(lifted from a discworld novel )


My alias in the game is just a joke, since I could not think of anything else to write.

I never attacked your soldiers, nor your cities...

I KNEW I knew that from somewhere.
