Turn 30 to Shavlor

Hey, what do these Settler & Prince designations mean?

Greetings to the Dutch & the Vikings, nice of you both to drop by and see me. Welcome to America! Stop by the visa office and fill out an application!

It means that I am better that you, and others are better than me...

Seriously, it is a ranking based on the number of times you post onsite here.

BTW, its your turn...

turn 31 to the greedy vikings

I realise the vikings are a bloodthirsty lot but those beaver are Dutch! Did your traders not see the ear tags? We've tagged every beaver in that forest, there are no free ones for you. If you want to trade beaver, we can negotiate price. If, on the other hand, you insist on tresspassing....

Nice stack yourself Aztecs, your correct in that I made no claims to the area before your arrival. I am now! You are far from home while I am just outside my city radius. I would hope we could come to some mutually agreed upon demarcation line?

Greetings Americans (again), your troops explore distant lands I see....

Great Wilheim of the Dutch,

I have sent a courier with a proposed line. Hextan does not desire war, as he wants all nations to dwell in peace. As stated earlier, it is a big world with plenty of room for everyone. I would hope that Mark notes that I have not done anything to affect his gold production, or attacked in any manner, and have even withdrawn troops when asked.

Mike seems to be of a different mindset though - for shame, cutting off gold to the Dutch coffers. That seems a little aggressive to me, IMHO.

Turn 32 --> Donicus

Wilheim of the Dutch:

It upsets me greatly that you would create such non-sense in an attempt to slander the name of the Noble Vikings. But in an effort to ensure our friendship, we would like to offer you those beaver back. After you defeat us. In our civilized society, we have a law, "Possesion is 9/10's of the law" So come and get it, (your death that is). We have nothing further for you, except to wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

As for the slanderous Aztecs:
It saddens the people of the Viking nation in which you would make such claims that have absolutely no substance whatsoever. Can you tell me when the last time was you walked the lands on which these beaver you speak of lie? Ohh, that's right, NEVER. So why would you participate in such a behavior if you are as good as you think you are? I hope that our relationship is repairable, but at this point the Vikings are not happy wiht you at all.

To the respectable nations: (Greek and Americans): I hope that you keep an ear to the ground as these Aztecs have crossed a noble nation for no reason. You must watch them and the Dutch for there is some sort of conspiracy occurring. We hope that our efforts of peace with you have built a strong foundation, and that you will take stake in our claims, over an untrustworthy nation of feather wearing indians.

Thank you
Mike the Vike

turn 31 to Mike

As expected, it has come to war. If that's what the vikings want, the Dutch will gladly comply. Clearly we won't be here for long since we have only a spot of land and nowhere to expand, but we will make our mark!

Wilheim,

I have gifted you some gold to help your cause against us... just because we feel so badly for you. That stack is finished by the way...

Also to the Aztecs... I know that you and I have had our differences... but i have some advice for you, which may repair our friendship. The dutch have drawn significant forces towards my front. I know that he can only have very minimal support left up the rear. This is your chance to push him off of your land, which belongs to you.

Mike,

I have no desire to attack anyone at this time. This better not be an attempt to draw me into a conflict that I will regret later...

Besides, your information is faulty - I'm still looking across at a stack of Mark's units - a stack that has just gotten stronger this past turn.

Mark
If Mike was foolish enough to attack you, you have every right to counter-attack him -and I suspect without condemnation from anyone. I wish you all the best in this endeavor.

[Shavlor]

Turn 33 --> Donicus

War already geez.
I will be away Apr 6th to 9th. Sophix will be playing my turn Phil please email my turn to sophix@pmail.net
Thanx,
Shavlor

[Mark H]

turn 33 to Mike

Just so it's clear, I attacked first to save further road pillaging and to regain Dutch beaver. We the Dutch will go to any length for beaver! Seriously though, I really don't understand this incursion by the vikings...

On my other front, if that aztec slaver moves next to my city this turn, it will be enslaved! So much for negotiation with "Mr. peaceful".
Mark

[hexagonian]

Turn 34 -> Phil

The slaver is there to ensure that no such units decide to 'visit' my cities - he has withdrawn as a sign of good faith.

Once again, I say in the strongest terms that I have no intentions toward the west, but I will take precautions to ensure that my cities are protected.
