Easygoing Game Turn Thread II

[Shogun Gunner]

Interesting.

As the Chinese share the continent with you, it is obvious that we would be concerned by a Persian mobilization. We ask for your intentions to be clear.

The Chinese do not recall Persia offering to trade techs with China -- and yet, we mobilized no such army. China is unaware of any past dealings between England and Persia. However, perhaps a trade deal could be hammered out that would satisify our fine Persian neighbors?

[Paddy]

so mighty lord of Persia

what sort of tech do you want from my humble people?

Meanwhile the mighty Indians cook up a curry.

Well, the Chinese kingdom is threatened by a signficant Persian force in our territory. A terrible Persian army of:

6 catapults
3 horseman
9 Immortals
10 pikeman

is in Chinese lands, directly south of the Chinese city Canton.

We don't wish to fight. Name your terms, Mullah Andydog.

[Andydog]

Lord Shogun,

After much consultation with my advisors on how war should be averted, we decided in the end to take control of all your cities. Your people are crying out for Persian culture and knowledge, and we have answered their call.

Lord Paddy/Mickeyj,

We would like to establish embasies with the English and Indians so that we may all enter into a period of cooperative reasearch. Naturally the Persians would provide the secrets of Feudalism as part of this deal. The aim would be to get Astronomy as quickly as possible so that we can all begin trading our wonderous goods across the channel.

Canton is held by the brave Chinese soldiers -- although they compain bitterly about the stinky persian horde to the south. They pray to the ancient god, Yu, for deliverance from the evil....or at least the stench.

Chinese catapult bombards massive Persian encampment south of Canton -- resulting in a miss.

one wonders how the catapult could miss all those Persian troops so crowded together...its akin to throwing a rock and missing the ground

Save to Honorable Paddy

Booger.....................whats going on with these persian hords - they decend from the mountains like slappers from essex!

[Shogun Gunner]

Dear leaders of India and England:

Waves of Persian soldiers sweep over the once-peaceful lands of China. Innocent Chinese are slaughtered daily by the evil overlords from Persia.

The citizens of China are a simple people, not possessing the science, tools, and weaponry of Persia. We lack the simple mineral "iron". Most of our lands are located within impassable swamps and bogs.

Despite this, the Chinese have built great WONDERS OF THE WORLD. We have the COLOSSUS of Shanghai, STATUE OF ZEUS in Beijing. Just recently, under duress of war, we have switched production from our GREAT LIBRARY to THE GREAT WALL in Beijing - which just has been completed. The Golden Eastern Coast of China, which the Persian military toured recently, is under threat of war and destruction. This "Persian tour" is now, very obviously, a clandestine Persian military reconnaissance.

China appeals to the humanity of our Indian and English neighbors. Stop this Persian scourge now, before this filth reaches your shores. Please send troops, humanitarian aide, and any support you can offer. It is most urgent.

I just realised it's been well over a week since China's futile plea to the other leaders of this world, with no word whatsoever.

I guess Ghandi must be too curried out and Elisabeth too full of fish and chips to worry about events on the 'West Island'.

[Paddy]

ohhh it is all my fault

I am not home yet
