The nation of Phoenicia does now formally protest the evil machinations of the cowardly Hittites. The Hittites have several iron resources within their boundaries, but instead of using them, they are making a play for my iron resource that has been in Phoenician lands for generations. This cannot be swallowed.
I gave the wicked Hittite leader an ultimatum 30 years ago to avoid settling near Phoenician lands, but instead this criminal 'leader' only adds to his crimes by increasing his forces.
Therefore we are at WAR!!!!
The nation of Phoenicia does now formally request all other nations friendly to us to make war with the vile Hittites. We also must apologize to our brethren of Babylon and Sumeria. Our alliance against the Medeans, thought to include the likes of the Hittites, must now suffer the loss of not one but two of its members as the revolting Hittites must be exterminated from the environs surrounding my land.
To the malicious leader of the Hittites, I not only throw my gauntlet down, I throw it in your face!!!Comment

The Hittites remind the Phoenicians that there were Phoenician troops on our mutual border before there were Hittite troops, and that combined with the apparent Phoenician ploy to conquer the allegedly neutral nation of Egypt has forced the Hittites to reinforce our border.
We have not taken the iron deposit (yet), and heeded the Phoenician request to not settle on that square (yet). However, after this turn of events, make no mistake that the Mighty Hittite Army will not be stopped from protecting what is rightfully ours; and we respectfully remind the Phoenicians which nation is larger.
Should they choose to rethink the mistake they have made, they may feel free to let us know, and the Hittites will take it into due consideration.<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

The Phoenicians remind the Hittites that WAS NO MUTUAL BORDER. Take a look at the screenshot. You see no Hittite cities anywhere close to my land. My troops were merely protecting the iron hill IN MY OWN LAND. The Hittite troop build up...along with a settler...on the tile directly next to my iron instead of on the road north of it was a direct threat to my iron and everyone knows it.Originally posted by snoopy369

The Hittites have no moral high ground here, any more than the Medeans have for ambushing the Sumerians, or my own forces for annihilating the Egyptians.
Mighty Hittite Army?the Mighty Hittite Army will not be stopped from protecting what is rightfully ours; and we respectfully remind the Phoenicians which nation is larger.
May I remind the Hittites which country has the mighty army comprised of multiple companion infantry, and which country does not even possess iron.
Don't worry...it's on!Should they choose to rethink the mistake they have made, they may feel free to let us know, and the Hittites will take it into due consideration.

What the hell is going on here? Was there an alliance between Medea and The Phoenicians?
If so why didn't the Phoenicians assist the medeans in the latest war?
And Phoenicia his units aren't in your territory so why did you declare war????????*"Winning is still the goal, and we cannot win if we lose (gawd, that was brilliant - you can quote me on that if you want. And con - I don't want to see that in your sig."- BetaComment

No, my alliance with Sumeria and Babylon was sound. I was even in the process of sending units to the Medean front per our alliance parameters.Originally posted by conmcb25

I declared war as his buildup of units and a settler on my border with the sole intention of stealing my iron deposits was a clear threat to Phoenician National Security.
Let me ask this? If I showed up on your doorstep with 20+ companion infantry, wouldn't you take it as a sign of aggression? Egypt can you comment?

Wittlich is glad that his empire is located in the corner of the known world instead of being in the center!

OK Rhoth, I just wanted your position on this issue.
Now for Beta, just what the heck are all those units doing moving north thru my area?
And Rhoth since you struck the first blow do you consider our three way alliance activated?????
I agree it was a possible threat but you still appear to be the aggressor here. The situation isn't exactly cut and dry so to speak.....

No I don't consider our three way alliance activated enough for you or Beta to send troops against snoopy as I'm nominally the aggressor (though in truth, snoopy started this war with his build-up of troops on my border). Though I do call on the defensive portion of our agreement in that you do not ally with snoopy or Paddy against me.Originally posted by conmcb25

However, if you want to send troops against snoopy to engender my goodwill, be my guest.

Rhoth is glad his empire is in the center of the known world. It's more fun that way since now I'm in the thick of things.
I'm having a lot of fun with this game, almost as much as I am in AU601, the one-on-one PBEM I'm playing with Beta, where I'm invading him (after he effectively blocked me for a few turns).
