Jungle Gazette: NAME THE WAR!!!

[Epistax]

lol lets call it Our First Attack Against Americans... yes they'll love that

[Ananias]

In reality, a civ's first war would probably just be called THE war by its people until the second war. So "The First War" or "The First American War" seems a clear indicator of the event & to its historical impact (i.e. the first time we realized we could win if we fought)

[Mr. President]

Since we can't have a Six Day War in Civ3, I vote for the Six Turns War.

[rush]

Some suggestions :

The American Liberation War
First Victory
American Jihad
Uber-American War
The Mother of All Wars
The Virgin War

[Captain]

First Imperial War of Territorial Expansion
or
First Imperial War of Northern Expansion
or
The War of Aggression

Let's not kid ourselves. There's enough revisionism in real life, why not call it truthfully here? We should remember that our nation's expansion/progression was at the expense of rival Americans and was initiated by us without provocation. Heck, we planned this out for hundreds of years, if that's not a cold-blooded attack ("a day that will live in infamy") on an unsuspecting neighbour, I don't know what is. (Okay, so it's not totally bad, we didn't break an RoP or technically surprise attack since we did declare war - but we are clearly the unprovoked aggressor here.) Don't let the politicians try to spin this one...

I believe our newspaper has freedom of the press, and even the historian's office is being privatized (no?), so I hope our dear paper's editor will be fair in presenting both sides...

The War Of Necessity (I) - aka (in the future, after other such wars) WON1

Can't you see it? We'll be talking about all the WON Wars. ( )

[Harovan]

Call it "The First American campaign". No less, no more.

[DAVOUT]

Yes, The American Campaign. Saying First would disclose the most secret plans of the General Head Quarter.

[Spiffor]

I think Uber's "great leap forward" is excellent... We won't see many wars which will change our situation so drastically (doubling the size of the empire, make us a world power)

You could call it the The Hundred Year's war (the real one lasted 116 years, so accuracy does not matter.)


Or how about The War of the Dyes. The Jungle War.

You find it!


Edit: The War of the Dyes

My staff and I will take this under advisement. Perhaps we could arrange an interview with one of the survivors...However, since when does the press ever truly cover both sides of ANY issue? I personally am in favor of presenting OUR side, but am a business man, and if there is a demand for the other side, perhaps it will sell a few more papers?

On the Historian side, the ball is in your court people. I can manage and arrange submissions, but I have not recieved any for Historian. I do not have time to WRITE both a history and the paper, and, as Tass before me, I choose the paper. It is my baby after all, and with when nearing 100 subscribers, it is not going to be easy to set aside.

[UnOrthOdOx]

OK, going to make a poll tonight.

So far the leaders seem to be:

The Great Leap Forward
The American Campaign (to be called first later)
The War of Neccessity (I) (won...I love it...)
The War of the Dyes (nice and descriptive)


Anyone feel strongly for the other suggestions, or have more?

[Inverse Icarus]

i'll shamelessly agree with my suggestion again.

The Great Leap Forward
