Asked Blackice by mail to takeover Demosthenes turn if turn 10 not played by Demosthenes within a couple of hours. Hope Demosthenes will be able to play his turn after all.

Turn 11 to Franses --

Egyptian newsflash:
The Egyptian settlers are now all settled. The Egyptians, not used to land without much river had to get used to the environment they found themselves in. But flexible as they are, they did. Even more so, more settlers are being recruted because the earlier bunch did find more furtile land than they could handle. A bit more goods would have been appreciated though. Egyptians love to trade and trade, there is not much off in this world. However, their Birdman god whispered to them that soon they will encounter other civilizations. The Egyptians are looking forward to that. Not only because of the trade but also because they miss their slaves. A close encounter (of the second kind) with another civilazation might mean both. And the Pharao, well, after much ruling done, he is now ready to build his harem.

Turn 12 ==> Arthur

The Welsh doubt that these Egyptian folk have the knowledge to embark upon trading, being such an inferior race and all

Turn to Quinns

[Arthur]

Turn 12 ---> Darth & The

[quinns]

Arthur - Howdy partner! You should have sent it to Darth and Franses -- not Darth and "The" True Demos. By the way -- Are you just about ready start the invasion?

[Franses]

Arthur - nice try. The file arrived at Darth Viper it seems, so no problem. Next time sent it cc to fransm@europe.com and everything will be perfect.

And.... success with the invasion

They who are gone kill all invaders, greet you

Franses

Turn 12 off to Quinns

Turn 12 to Franses like Ramses!

Thanks Franses. We need all the "success" we can get! Apparently my partner has a great affinity for expensive wonders that will eventually become obsolete with the Age of Reason. But that's what makes this interesting!

I think you meant, "They who are going to (or slang 'gonna') kill all invaders, greet you." The word "gone" doesn't make sense here.

Anyway, I wouldn't be too worried about an invasion from the Irish and Mongols. We are peaceful and humble tribes. My senile old uncle Steve, (he thinks he's a direct descendant of Ghengis Khan), gets a little over zealous sometimes. Pay no attention to him.

Thank you for correcting me. I meant "gonna" indeed.

A pity to hear there will be no invasion. We were just preparing for it.

[The True Demosthenes]

Turn 13 ==> Arthur

What talk is this of invasions? Surely you inferior races cannot possibly hope to attack either of the two great Celtic nations!?

I doubt that you could muster enough troops take but one of our magnificent cities, yet alone transport them to us.

But if you must, then at least you will learn a lesson or two...

Turn 13 off to Quinns

Turn 13 to Franses ---

Dearest King Demosthenes of the Welsh -- The True One of Arrogance. Making threats already? I'm certain your army is no stronger than any other nation's. Why is it that you must become like the "puffer fish" and falsely inflate your might? Could it be that you are "frightened" by the other Civilizations? For truly, if you indeed HAD the forces that you allege, you would not be bragging about them, but using them to your then obvious advantage! Your false threats do not scare anyone.
