The Korean people again urge the Mongols to spare the Spanish people and at least leave their capitol standing.

The Korean people should mind their own business as per my earlier email.

Like what?

There is a war coming. It's already here actually. Eli's neighborhood is not that pleasant and the rest of us won't be free from the same sort of stuff. I have not seen this sort of resolve in the upper reaches of US society ever, certainly it has been absent since my father's generation. We expect this conflict to have serious effects far from the battlefield and it's not great news that we have to resort to military means there either. Hope Iraq is quick, but the larger conflict won't be.

Speedy Gonzalez award delivered. The Spanish were so deeply moved by our generosity that they immediately joined the Mongol Empire, all of them.

Delmar Khan feels that this concludes his work here and started preparations for his retirement. He found a candidate who would be willing to take on the heroic task of steering the Mongol Empire towards victory. The candidate has an impressive resume: he not only has extensive experience in leading empires (even though his last project in Spain was less than a success ), but was also named after Sir Winston Churchill. I don't think we can ask for more!

So, to cut the crap: any objections if Spencer takes over the Mongols?

290AD to Eli.

[jshelr]

Don't believe any of the above. There was a palace coup, Delmar was overthrown, and Spencer took his rightful place, ending the terrible oppression of the Mongol and Spainish empires by the cruel dictator. Let freedom reign.

Great, now this ruines all my plans.

[delmar]

Jshelr, the Mongols have been organizing spontanious sympathy demonstrations in the major cities to express their devotion to Delmar Khan. The word "coup" is not even in the dictionary of the Mongols. Is it (French-) Zulu for soup?

Eli, what kind of plans were those, huh?!



Am I right in thinking that my successor can be enacted?

[jshelr]

It is fine with me Delmar. Farewell to a good competitor.

[delmar]

Then 300AD shall be the year of retirement for the Great Khan!

300AD to Eli.

Eli, what kind of plans were those, huh?!

We had 15 ICBM aimed at your cities.

The peaceloviing zulu, possessing key luxury goods and valuable knowledge, remind all countries that any declaration of war ends all outstanding treaties in civ III. Violations of a civ's territory consistute a material breach of international law and justify such a declaration, with or without a UN vote. Wait a minute, that's another subject. Forget the UN part, just stay the hell out.

Guys, read your emails please.
