Yes Kriton - King Thor hasn't the best nations in any world - but thx for replacing him anyway.

In this game he has a good excuse - his nation was totally isolated until recently.

I have offered my map to everybody this turn - pls DO something. It not fun having 2 weak and 3 very weak as neighbours.

Turn to Stavros/Maestro.

A late evening, my servant came to my study, saying an important document was comming from one of my diplomats very soon.

Of course I was interested - at least in the beginning.

Here is the letter:

Dear Ivan,

You may not have read the post several days ago on Apolyton but my people, the Egyptions, noticed that you started work on and even almost finished Edison's lab.
As things stand now you will again steal a wonder from the Egyptian people (you finished London Exchange one turn before we did. LOL). We warn you to refrain from doing that. Having London exchange as well as Edisons lab may make all civilizations wonder whether they should not unite and attack you. At least my people, the Egyptians, that have always been your friends, will be extremely angry at loosing a second wonder to you and at will be hard for me, Pharao, to keep them from wanting to see you hang for it. Oh.... do not underestimate the strength of the Egyptions. We may not be so high on the PG but we have strongly invested in our country and this investment will soon bring us up in the power graph. So, be wise and do not steal Edison's lab from us or at least make sure that you fully compensate my people for our losses. If not, this may be the last letter sent in peace,

With kind regards,

Franses, Pharao of Egypt


Well - what does this inferior regent think? I can't just acknowlege such a wish. My govenment would dismiss me in a second (unless I hit first).

I have growing problem with leaders of some socalled unions?!

Should I get to infight with my scientist and bureaucrats also?

No I say. Russia will rule this world. With or without the other nations coorporation!

Ivan, Zar of Russia

Turn to Stavros/Maestro.

My project has been finished! Students from your nations might be allowed to study together with my people.

Tough I am sure, my dear neighbours will be as happy as the russians for such a great place of science, I have ordered the russian army into higest alert.

The reason is, that some might be happier than others.

[Kriton]

TheBirdMan,

I pledge my everlasting allegience to you almighty one! Spare us from your wrath and we will be your diligent serfs. We will build altars and statues in your honour.

And let me commend you on your quick post!
