RP FA thread 1

[Eli]

I oppose to any giving of screenshots.
Maybe edited ones to GoW to help coordinate their actions, but not to anyone else.

[Konquest02]

I don't think we can give any screenshot away. What would it give them? If they're planning military support, it's not a screnshot of our territory they need!

[Beta]

I agree. No screen shots. We will give them a general description. That's it. And no unit numbers.

(logged in at my sister's place)

[argha]

Let them find other ways at intel than coming to us, or they can pay like 1000gp per screen shot

[HarryH]

I would ask them what they want in screenshots. Are they trying to find out what GS territory looks like or what? We could setup a scenario that shows the part we want them to see but not the classified parts.

[HarryH]

Now that I read this again, I wonder what kind of aid they want to send? The more units and distractions we can get GS to deal with the better. We will lose a lot of Immortals taking out units on mountains and hills (and cities on hills like site 1). Our GA will not pump out warriors forever and the money for upgrades will run out someday.

[Beta]

Almost forgot - I also chatted with Nuclear Winter last night. Busy night. (anybody else want to help out here?? )

He too was inquiring about the war. I gave him a brief outline - and agreed we would send a screen shot of GS territory. Not Vox territory.

He also said our deal was still in the works, and was looking good. That was 200 gold for engineering.

And - I made it clear to him about all the other nations supporting us - and that we wanted to know who are friends are and are not. So that after this war - we could properly assess new alliances. He understood.

And oh yes - they elected a new pope and wanted to know if we want to convert to catholicism. If it comes with gold we will.

[Beta]

I should clarify - I agreed to the screen shot as it only really covers GS territory - and is mostly black. RP is very keen on it. I think they maty suspect that this war is fake - and the screenshot will help. This shot also excludes the GoW galley. Here is the one I propose to send:

[Wittlich]

Perfect! This screen shot should convince them that this isn't a "Fake Bob War."

I say send it to them.

[HarryH]

The screen shot looks good. It doesn't reveal anything that GS does not already know.

[HarryH]

You might also want to send them a shot that shows the liberated Arashi message when it happens.

[Beta]

Received from RP on April 22nd, after sending the screenshot and a short commentary to them.

"My friend Beta,
Our King is considering an attack on the common enemy,
the GS, in order to help our friends from Vox Controli.
IF we did this, we would coordinate our efforts with GoW
in an attempt to create another frontline thus dividing
GS´s army. We have been discussing the Engineering deal
quite a bit. We are concerned as our economy is not
strong right now, however, our soldiers are, so we think
that engineering could be offered as a gift to us in
such an event.(By the way,Our military counselors also
asked if the Voxian Army will attack the fortress named
as Arashi, or what directions will Vox take, so that we
can orientate our Plans).
Regarding trade, we would like to know if there is any
sort of deal arranged between VOx Controli and Glory of
War for Feudalism. If not, We would like to offer it as
soon as we got it for the amount of 75 golds.
Please respond as soon as possible,as we will need to
start making lots of preparations before starting the
military action and every wasted turn puts off our
invasion additional turns.
Your Friend,
Nuclearis Winterius the III
Ambassador to Vox Controli"

[Wittlich]

Actually, since GoW is dragging their feet in giving us Feudalism (having to wait for 10 turns) - I say we buy it from RP for the 75 Gold.

Also, concerning Arashi, I say you tell Nuclear Winter that our forces are currently laying the city "under seige." (moving a ****load of units into position SE of the city)

[mjmacy]

Yes I agree lets get Feud. from RP

[Beta]

my response to RP:

Nuclear Winterius III

My dear friend. How are you? I trust the people of Spain and their esteemed leader Togas survived the recent eclipse which encompassed the known world. It was a strange time - with little contact bewteen people - and time moving in slow motion. It is good that it has passed. I can only assume that it was the power of the Almighty and the faith of his servants of the Catholic Church which removed this curse from the world. e thank you for this.

To business. During this unusual phenomenom, we did receive one message from you - as follows:

We are overjoyed to hear of your planned involvement in this great crusade against the infidels of the Storm. And we do appreciate your monetary situation. If there was significant involvement on your behalf, we would be willing to provide engineering for no gold when completed. Significant involement is defined as 3-4 galleys providing troops and reinforcements. One or two galleys appearing soon would be appreciated. Please let us know of your plans and we can co-ordinate with Voxian and allied troops.

As to Arashi - our plan is to bypass the city, isolating it and hopefully trapping the defenders inside it. We have significant reinforcements arriving soon which can assault the smaller cities - after they have been isolated and the infrastructure destroyed. We are also reinforcing our east coast force in the mountains - and it is currently tying down considerable GS forces.

As to feudalism, I regret to inform you that we have previously reached a deal for feudalism with GoW. Thank-you for considering us - but we are committed.

I look forward to your response - and to being brothers in arms in this crusade.

My deepest regards - Beta the Bold.
