All efforts to persuade a Spanish corporate paper-juggler to leave our country failed, so the vermin had to be removed by force.

We have no intentions of starting a war with the Spanish.
We also have no intentions whatsoever of allowing such induhviduals on our territory.

The garrison of Alicate was appalled by the machine gunning of the un-armed party of Spanish businessmen. So outraged that a lone space fighter was sent to punish the Egyptian unit. The Egyptians escalated the situation by firing upon the space fighter. The decision was made to curtail the Egyptian threat in the area. The SAM unit was wiped off the map along with the garrison of the nearby city. The Spanish sufferd no casulties in the encounter and occuppied the Egyptian city.

The flood has been somewhat of a surprise. I can see, that nukes have been used.

Not that the phoenicians has been hit hard by the flood - but.....

Warning to all:

Though the phoenicians for the time being are the most pollution nation of this world - do NOT build a certain wonder - you all know which wonder.

If any do that, this will lead to a bloody and no-peace war between the phoenicians and that nation. And I do not care which nation.

Chairman Hasdrubal.

[Flandrien]

Indeed, many people found their death in Sinai.
Our troops did succeed in recapturing the city, but it will still take many years to clean up the nuclear fallout created by the attack.

We will not forget this !

However, as a gesture of goodwill, we did not pirate any Spanish trade routes.
If the Spanish really want a cease fire, it is now up to them to live up to it.

Hmm, so much for terraforming the swampland.

Though Hasdrubal had succeded to organise a great antispy network in his land, chokwaves went through the phoenician people. Chokwaves caused by both the pollutionlevel, information of many lifes lost in other countries, the knowledge that Hamilcar has shown himself for a greater crowd at a market, speaking up against the dictatur - and the answer from the dictatur.

The regime has lost its support among the phoenician people, even the military are now reluctant to follow orders from Chairman Hasdrubal.

To the Civilizations of this world:

Due to the flooding caused by the pollution in this world. The Minister of the Interior, a Green, has ordered the Eden Project be moved up in production. It will now be right behind the Sensorium project. Should another civ happen to complete the Sensorium project first, our efforts will not be wasted and an IMMEDIATE completion of the Eden Project will occur.

The Eden project would be followed by an immidiate war between the spanish and the phoenicians........

[Swissy]

If the Sensorium is built by another civ, the Spanish have no alternative but to complete the Eden Project. It is on the build queue and cannot be changed at this time. I also not that despite the recent occurance of flooding worldwide, the pollution meter predicts another disaster in a mere 33 turns.

Phoenicia are close to total panic. The thread has send people out of the largest cities and on the roads.

Many troops has borded ships and forced the crew to sail. Many are heading for small cities - well away of the most possible targets for the green terror.

Scientist, workers and farmers fleed from the Sensorium project and the city - a project so close to be fullfilled, now so long away. They would not work further on that project or even to be close to it - fearing to become dust the next moment they were finished.

Production dropped down in all cities. The economy suffers from people leaving their work.

Scientists and old politicans are working on a new concept of government. But when will this be ready? And would they be able to enforce it - Hasdrubal would probably not resing without fight?

The generals protests open now. Partly becuase of the green terror - though nothing had been done yet, the words alone are terrifying . Partly over Hasdubal's promise for war. The armed forces are certainly not ready for any war. He must be crazy.

What is all this arguing about building 'special' projects ?
I can tell you that the Egyptians have started a new project ourselves,
and we would not be unhappy at all if somebody should build it before us.
