Turn 106 to Demos.

My children look to the light that burns so bright in Sydney! Never an angry word or violent act! Embrace truth, love and honour as Australia has and you will find your rightful reward.

Be merciful and do not slay the unarmed civilians of the 'Beast' as their souls can saved even after so many years under It's pervered tyranny.

Beast, why do you still send your youth to die on the field of battle when you could offer them hope under my benign rule? Surrender Sirmicum and Neapolis and totally disband your Army and I will show mercy. You will only be hung drawn and quatered rather than, as custom dictates, be broken on the wheel first.

My dear friend and ally Demos, please do not take my refusal of an exchange of knowledge as any form of insult but as you must know Democracy is a sin and my children would heave with revulsion were I to accept it into the scriptures. I fear also that until my dear friend Tom Red fully succeeds in dragging his people from the Stone Age that they will simply not be ready for the knowledge that he seeks.

St Jon, The Light in an otherwise dark World.

[The True Demosthenes]

Turn 106 ==> Tom Red

Siege at Eburacum. Welsh forces join the fray, but are yet to sight the Assyrian strike force. Two more Roman reinforcements for the town have been eliminated.

turn =====> hexagonia

My diplomat is having trouble getting home - and does not want to cause concern by hanging around Assyrian territory - if you were to expel me home - no offence would be taken.

The Native Americans have indeed left the stone age behind - we have a much more civilised administration (at least in the real world)than the Australians. Although I can fully understand why my offer was far from tempting.

(I'm I the only one who is beginning to worry about Jon's grip on reality? )

Turn 106/107 -> Sophix

Mayan diplomatic officials turned out in great numbers to mourn the loss of a valued colleague. The Mayans were also touched by the presence of Demos at the state funeral, and take from his appearance that the Welsh are truly sorry for the accident.

St Jon has as much a grip on reality as the rest of us, though he makes us lighter of heart with his unique 'view' of the world.

[Shavlor]

Turn 107 --> Jon

[Sophanthro]

The Siege of Eburacum continues, Assyria reports that two Roman Military units met their fate, and many civilians.

Assyria apoligizes to President Tom Red, and states that their diplomat will be given an express ticket home next turn.

[Jon]

Turn 107 to Demos.

Though desolated by the loss of life caused by misunderstanding I was consoled by the remorce shown by beloved Demosthenes and the words of reconciliation from Hextupal. Imagine, my children, my utter shock and horror at seeing that a state of war still exists between these two fine nations.

Already my eyes are red from weeping at the death and destruction suffered whilst defending ourselves from 'The Beast' but yet a further outbreak of hostility will surely break my heart. Please, you who I love as my very own children, put aside musket and cannon and embrace each other as brothers.

Love can conquer all.

St Jon, Torchbearer on the road to salvation.

Turn 103 ==> Tom Red

Eburacum is due to fall to the Assyrians next turn I believe, and Sso Welsh forces diverted to the nearby city od Syracuse, who are now celebrating liberation from TAFKAB.

[Tom Red]

Turn ====> Hexagonia

Barbarian hordes in the north are still flinging their primitive hordes against my remoter outposts.

Severe apologies to the noble Jon. Our emissary recently mis-communicated himself - and what was meant to be back-handed praise sounded rude. I can reassure Jon that all Native Americans look forward to his regular missives, and those civilisations that are only 'chieftains' have a lot to learn from princes.

Turn 107/108 -> Sophix

Those pesky barbarians, give them an inch and they'll take a mile (or kilometer)

It seems that St Jon now has the technology to give to the Native Americans. Now would be a good time to remember his earlier promises.

[Sophanthro]

Turn 108 ==> Shavlor

Eburacum is ours! In the battle for Eburacum only a sole cannon lost on the side of Assyria; Rome however lost two phalanxes and two Musketeers, and ultimately the city.

Lord Demosthenes, Assyria was taken back by the refusal of map exchange, many in Assyria suspect that Wales has become involved in treacherous acts, and that map exchange would uncover these acts.

President Tom Red your diplomat was given first class express ticket home.

[The True Demosthenes]

We Welsh congratulate the success of the Assyrians. After joining the battle against evil at a late stage, they have now managed to expel 'the darkness' from the whole south-eastern peninsula, with relative speed and ease.

However, we do not bear unkindly remarks lightly. I acknowledge an oversight in not exchanging maps, I did not refuse to exchange. Indeed, the Welsh are curious as to how the new geography of the Assyrian nation.

But what of this 'treachery'? The Welsh are embarked on a noble crusade, convinced by the urgings of our friends and allies the Australians, who, like the Assyrians, are also now militarily engaged on the same crusade. To call our actions 'treacherous' smacks of hypocracy.

[Sophanthro]

Lord Demosthenes, my people have become paranoid regarding the location of any military unit. When your stack of troops disapeared from Eburacum a few bishops felt that they had boarded the ships, Lying near Eburacum, and where planning some action on the SW penisula. When the map exchange was refused, their fears multiplied seeing no legitimate reason for the refusal.

This fear expressed by the Assyrian people stems from the fact that Wales and Assyria have no border arrangement and that both of us have sizable armies in the region. This would not be a problem if the beast were powerfull but he is on the last legs of his existance. Therefore we believe it necessary for the Nations (Australia, Wales, And Assyria) to draw up a map and divide what remains Beasts lands into thier apropriate sections.
