Short message from President Hamilcar to General El Cid of the spanish.

"I didn't mean to be rude, but you diplomat has been expelled before he did something he would regret. Last time he was seen in a nightclub downtown in the sailorneighborhood with some very-very young girls. And we couldn't have him to continue this way, couldn't we?

Remember we have a free press in Phoenicia and a scandale would be embarassing to all".

[Flandrien]

After long years of planning, Egyptian engineers have finally succeeded in building a first permanent colony in space.

Unfortunately, the Spanish insisted on spoiling the festivities with their ongoing subversive activities.
The offenders have been removed by force.
(Yes, history does tend to repeat itself.)

Yes, history does repeat itself. The Egyptian barbarians have again turned a cold war into a hot one. Other nations have dealt with the new Spanish government in proper ways; expulsion, lawsuits. Only the Egyptians have turned to arms, feeling safe and smug behind their forcewalls. One has only to look at the pollution charts to see which civ will be most responsible for the next eco-disaster. I call on all civs to boycott this throw back to a more violent era.

Egyptians please accept our gratitude for your kind gifts in response to our call for assistance.

5 turns this morning ... Too many, regretfylly, but I do not have time to play them all . This one will have to wait another 8-9 hours .

But I did have time to open this turn, and just you wait Swissy .


Short message to El Cid of the spanish:

When I find you stockdealer, I'll send him home with the first available flight. Next I'll find a few of your traderoutes , from which I'll compensate my nation from the loss of production, that I have to accept for a few turns .

Be happy, that I'm such a peaceful leader and not as my uncle Hasdrubal.

President Hamilcar, signed 19. april 2001 Presidents Office, Emperors Rest.

Now that is an interesting idea !

Turn 280 to Maestro.

Seem like I have to live with this spanish stockdealer a little time more. I have to talk a little with our best lawyer first. We know where this spaniad is, but he claims to have some sort of diplomatic status - sitting behind his desk, smiling. Have to investigate this first.

One task IS going on. We have "demanded" some gold from a spanish company - they paid but unfortunately, they also closed this tradeline. Wonder if it should be nessesary to collect some more gold from other companies or the spanish government will pay a decent sum to keep our diplomatic channels open and end this dispute.

The Spanish "Ambassador" was trying to make a hasty exit from Phoenician lands. But he found himself impeded by unexpected breaks in what he thought was a marvelous transportation system the Phoenicians had built. Perhaps Phoenicians have grown lazy under such an "enlightened" government, and their infrastructure has fallen into disrepair. More likely we are suffering from the results of Egypt's high pollution generated by the push for space. Yes, another eco-disaster has befallen us.

The Spanish does not wish to see any potential customers fall into the sea. So we offer to quickly build the Gaia Controller. All the rest of the world has to do is determine who will give the Spanish the technology to build it. Any gold that may be spared to rush the project along would be appreciated. Our "Branch Offices" in many of your cities have been seeing great amounts of production, and thus pollution, by all the worlds nations. So none are blameless.
