[The True Demosthenes]

Turn 155 ==> Sophix

Gazing out across the beautiful land of Wales, Demosthenes noted that traversing from one end of this immense Kingdom to the other would take some goodly time indeed. When this point was put to Welsh engineers, they immediately set about a much quicker and efficient form of transport.

They returned to Demosthenes with a strange idea, of wooden planks supporting lines of iron, upon which steam wagons would rush to and fro, with great speed and efficiency.

"Truly a great moment in our history", spoke Demosthenes, "I feel that Railroads may well become very popular."

Turn 155 --> Lung

Whats wrong with roads Demos

[Lung]

Galileo, the great Australian legend, unveils his marvel of science, the 'telescope'. With this great wonder of the world, Galileo can gaze into the stars and unravel the secrets of the universe. Galileo, Steve Waugh the Legendary pronounces you "an Australian legend!"

Turn 156 to Demosthenes.

[The True Demosthenes]

Turn 156 ==> Sophix

Despite recent expansion and consolidation the Welsh nation is being caught up by the ever-copulating Egyptians, and the Wisdom of the Australians.

Wales believes that a new science drive should be launched, and further colonisation be sought. The WISE also advise the use of the newly found railroads to make this project more effiecient.

Therefore today Wales announces the Growth In Rural Lands and Science (GIRLS) Project, and hopes that this venture be a success.

Turn 157 to Demosthenes

[The True Demosthenes]

Turn 157 ==> Sophix

[Shavlor]

I am withdrawing from the PBEM game. This is because I am extremely behind in tech and only have a few cities. I with play for 5 more turns. I promise you all I will not make any last minute attacks (mainly because pikemen w/o cannons can do squat)
I think the AI will not pose much of a threat. If anyone thinks they are real damn good then they can take my place and try to beat the others (Good Luck )
If Sophix, Lung, or Demos have any objection to me withdrawing then you should have killed me off . But seriously I can't win this game the most I can do is pester someone.
Good Luck to you all

[Lung]

I think Shavlor's request is fair. He's been a good sport, and i think he deserves an honourable discharge. We can just set him to AI with a "no conquer" rule. The AI couldn't win, so there's no excuse for war except in self defence. In such case, perhaps a maximum of one city could be taken before peace must be offered to the AI. This should stop opportunists such as Demos and myself

Thanks for playing, Shavlor. You were an easy opponent Hehehe...

Turn 148 to Demosthenes the Mighty

[Shavlor]

Turn 158 --> Lung

Demos is still trying to convert my cities. he had two clerics near them. Lung how would you know I am a easy opponet you never made phyiscal contact with besides my wondering units and your ship of the line.

[The True Demosthenes]

Clerics there may be, but converting Roman cities they are not. The WISE take many forms in order to go about their business. Indeed, the WISE report that Egyptian priests are heading toward Brecon.....

[Lung]
