Two By Four

The Japanase and French remind the Chinese that they did not start this war. War is a necessary byproduct of the misbehaviour of certain other civilizations, who declared this war initially and attacked unarmed French citizens without warning.

In reference to Chengdu, the French are glad to welcome the new citizens of Chengdu to the world, and hope they do not have too difficult a time gathering food in the massive desert.

Ah yes, Lord Snoopy, so you say. But who are we innocent Lords to believe in this game of lies and half-truths? The Mongol chieftain has made a claim of wrong-doing, and you have responded with a similar claim. Let the might of the Arrow and Sword decide is what I say.....the Gods will surely bestow their favour upon the most righteous and honourable of your good civilisations

Yes, the desert is indeed a harsh place, my shrewd neighbour.....and yet it appears that cattle can thrive nearby. France clearly has more fertile ground available, and knowing as I now do that you have no interest in the area, China shall proceed to settle all nearby available land

My Dear Portugal

Neither one of our glorious nations moves a settler towards each other. Just let the cities there grow.

China,

The French do not mind you settling the city of Chengdu. Were you to begin encroaching further on French territory, we might have further words.

There can be no argument that we did not violate Mongol territory. If he claims we did, he is a liar, plain and simple. Furthermore, it was only workers that were even near his territory (in neutral territory). Warriors, spearmen, I would understand the concern - although I would expect a warning note, such as the Japanese sent to you. Workers, in neutral territory, captured without warning ... that is simply not right. I also notice he has not said a word against this once I made this claim ... I feel this is proof that he cannot continue this sham of a lie.

Once you are in possession of the knowledge of Maps, perhaps I can show you a map of our locations at the time of the initiation of the war?

France

China graciously thanks you for permission to settle Chengdu. Had we thought to ask your permission beforehand, we certainly would have thought about it

....though I'm not sure what this means. By definition, "French territory" includes only those areas on the map within your pretty pink borders. Any area outside that is defined as "neutral territory". If you are asking me not to settle inside French territory, I am perfectly happy to provide such an assurance. If you are suggesting that there is somehow a restriction on settling neutral territory, then perhaps I may begin to understand why the Mongol attacked France

1790BC on to the Frenchman with the grand territorial claims

[snoopy369]

The French simply took your statement earlier, that "China shall proceed to settle all available land", as possibly taking our statement broader than we intended to be taken. Were China to settle all available land, France might take that askance. After all, it is merely politesse to keep one's settlements from surrounding another's... it might make one ... nervous.
