So, are PMS going to be send today?
My bad. For the sake of saving everyone some sanity, and punishing myself for pathetic activity, I'll suicide and leave my city to Ignoramus.
Give it to me!
Hmmm..
To me!
I think we all together must create a lighting to kill those who didnt send the turns.

Rise of Civilizations
Chapter X: Eye of the Maelstorm
For one brief instant, the world goes a season without battle. Yet even in this peace the coming violence is foreseeable, just over the very edge of an abyss.
The future is a great black storm which no one can see past.
In Illyria, the invading armies of Umbria march north, deep into the interior, bypassing Moronton. In central Italy and Umbrian army stops outside of Norcia, now owned by Syracuse.
Venetian armadas blockade the Umbrian port cities of Spoleto and Assisi.
The Carthaginian army departs Corsica in the west and lands on Sardinia.
In Sicily and Sardinia, lightning flails the peasants, as a great booming voice promises retribution.
The pieces have been placed into position, all that needs be done is for the die to be cast that furious battle may once again erupt.

I feel really really stupid. In my attempts to defeat Faust, I actually forgot to recruit troops. :sweatdrop:
Real smooth pever
Hahaha
Let us hope that the Venetians do not set foot on Umbrian territory, because we are not exactly a fish out of water on the field.
The Venetians desire only peace. We could have sent thousands of soldiers south to sack your cities, but we did not, because we do not desire more violence. And also because we think Illyria is fully capable of kicking your butt.
If you wish to continue this war, it shall only mean defeat for you.
CR
:laugh4: *edit*
A little FYI for ya:
The Venetians will be hiring troops in every city that your army in Illyria can reach. Just in case it turns out you're not just going north or east.
CR
And some from me. Since i found out you know what has happened, I might as well reveal it. I recruited over 30 000 warriors. This turn I will recruit about 25 000. Have fun :bow:
Where is the leader of Syracuse?... we have things to talk about! :smash:

Rise of Civilizations
Chapter XI:The Storm Strikes
The calm is over, especially for Illyria. No longer will the Balkans be known for peace and tranquility. The whole land has been touched by war. The Umbrian commander split his forces that he might attack every city within reach. But the Illyrians rallied in every city in great numbers and destroyed all the small forces. The main force of Umbria drove for Lakeside, but was repulsed after close and brutal fighting from the city's garrison.
On the coast, the Umbrians raze the two towns they had captured. The Umbrians are then themselves slaughtered by a Venetian army coming from Zagreb. Further south, Illyrian forces defend against a great landing of Umbrians at Epidamnos, and destroy a small landing near Illyria. The fleet that had landed near Illyria was then destroyed by a Venetian fleet from the north
The rest of the world stays calm, surprisingly.
In Sicily, lightning again beat down upon the shanties and shacks of the peasants, who were hoarse from calling for mercy.

Venice demands to know what in the world Carthage is doing by moving more forces towards the Islands of Corsica and Sardinia?
The agreement was that you would leave these islands and waters, not that you would merely withdraw to construct a base from which to constantly imperil the people of Kender!
Crazed Rabbit
I would like to ask what the Umbrians were thinking when they razed the Illyrian citys of which they had control?
I would like you to die. Now.
Carthage shall answer that question once Carthage receives their info PM.:thumbsdown:Quote:

I stated that I would not land more troops on Corsica, and withdraw my forces from the island. I have therefore upheld my promise, and have not breached any part of the contract. Also, I give my commends to the Venetian spies, who must be uncannily excellent to know that settlers were on the fleet sent there.
Big edit:
Get off both islands. Now. I will not stand for you to build a base from which to constantly threaten the Kendish people. The first agreement was that you the islands. I specifically said that so you wouldn't just move to Sardinia. I thought it was obvious, but let me restate it: Remove your forces, military and otherwise, from the islands of Corsica and Sardinia and from any waters or lands within 100km of Corsica and Sardinia.
Also, I never said anything about what was on your fleet. I merely assumed you were bringing some sort of reinforcements.
CR
Wow. This sucks. I wanted to build a new city, but, because I destroyed Tathari, I cant do that. I should have left Tathari alone...:shame: . I vie for peace, so that way we could progress, instead of laying down all of our resources in combat. We are really falling behind the rest of the world. How say you, Tran and GreaterKhaan?
It was YOUR mistake, evil Kenderish. I have offered peace to you by becoming my vassal, but you refused, fight our people and destroyed our city.
Also, why the Venetian insist for the Carthage to leave Sandalyon, while at the same time you built a large fotress in the island of Corsica? If you want Carthage to leave Sardinia, then I suggest you destroy your fortress and get out of Corsica too.
The agreement was that Carthage would leave these islands. It seems they have been active in exploiting loopholes and negotiating in bad faith, and in doing so desire war.Quote:
Also, why the Venetian insist for the Carthage to leave Sandalyon, while at the same time you built a large fotress in the island of Corsica?
I have laid out my terms above, again and more explicitly so that you may not wiggle free. Abide by them if you do not wish to be at war.
CR
Unless Venetian destroy the fotress and withdraw their army at Corsica. I don't think Carthage should withdraw their army from Sardinia either.
Indeed. Venice, you claim to be on the side of virtue and peace. And yet, you ally yourself with savages who destroy entire cities, slaughter innocent civilians. War is the domain of man, not women, children, and the elderly. It was Kender, not Carthage, nor Sandalyon, who decided the innocent people of Tathari were not fit to live. And do not give us this spiel about how Sandalyon brought war to Kender, when you yourself declared war upon the Gauls and reduced them to utter dependency. And I agree with my ally, I will not leave Sardinia, when you yourself have constructed a massive fortress in Corsica. Venice, once and for all, stop being a nation of hypocrites. I have little tolerance of it.
Evil, eh? Destroying Tathari was an act of war. A way to diminish your income so I could have time to recuperate. I will not be a vassal, I will never submit to the will of another man. (besides, I feel no remorse "killing" people who only exist as a number on a spreadsheet :grin2: ) If any major power were to turn their eyes toward us, and us alone, Thor, we would be annihilated. That is why I vie for peace, so that we may perogress in this world. I will recompense you for the deed done to Tathari as soon as I get my income back, all right?
-Lord Motep of Kendermore
p.s.
And as to your complaints about C.R nearly killing Caius, you see that the Guals have not been attacked for many turns, and that Caius is still alive. If you would also note that Greaterkhaan is striking right now, and wishes to see the death of me, and that those actions were in place long before the destruction of Tathari. Who is the real bad guy there?
Striking now? We are doing nothing of the sort. We fulfilled our promise of removing our forces from Corsica, and intend to fulfill the promise of never stepping foot on it again. And never have I stated that I wished to see your death, I came to the aid of my ally. Sandalyon offered you an identical situation to that which was forced upon the Gauls, reduction to a single city. You make it seem not so bad when it happens to Gaul, yet if it should happen to you, you react by torching an opponents city and butchering its citizens. You, like the Gauls, were offered peace. Unlike the Gauls, however, you seduced the Venetian leadership into aiding your efforts. The Gauls had no such power to rely on, and thus were put into the dependancy of others. Very interesting that both Venice and their savage ally seem to complete hypocrites...
You have never stated that you would not kill me. Besides, had you kept the city, you would have had temptation to take the other one to the north. Had you given the city to Thor, he would have proceeded to take Kendermore. So, I had no choice but to seek foriegn aid, it was either that or annihilation.Quote:

Rise of Civilizations
Chapter XII:The Storm Passes
In stark contrast to the previous season, only one conflict took place in the world. The Umbrians gave up their campaign in Illyria and gifted all but one of their cities to the Romans. Venetian armies had moved south to attack Umbria, but halted when they saw that the cities of Assisi and Spoleto had been given to the Romans.
In the west, the Carthaginians brought in settlers from Tunisia and founded a city in northeast Sardinia. The fleet that had carried them was destroyed along with the armada Carthage had stationed off of Sardinia by a great Venetian armada that sailed south from Bastia.
In Sicily, the people have become pale from never seeing the sun, due to thunderstorms. Carthaginian armadas have blockaded one port and are sailing around the south of Sicily.

Surrender at my might :bow:

Besides, Rome will soon be mightier than you, if they are not already...
I thank the Umbrians :bow:
Absolutely, Roman friends! :bow:
Hm. The name of your city is very creative, Khaan. But, the proximity is disconcerting. Ah well, Ill live.
Btw, that would be a direct violation of the "treaty"
As a Ghost all that sustains me is the prospect of seeing my vanquisher vanquished, so if its not too big a problem Illyria would you mind taking his city?
Nothing personal Umbria but you did kill me ~:)

Rise of Civilizations
Chapter XIII:Great Armies
In stark contrast to the previous season, only one conflict took place in the world. For most of the world, it was relatively peaceful.
In the west, a great army of Venice was marshaled and then loaded onto a grand armada in Bastia. The immense armada sailed to the Carthaginia city of Sardinia. Tens of thousands of Venetians hurled themselves at the fortified city, to be repulsed again and again by brave defenders. Finally, though, the onslaught was too much and the city fell.

Tell me, what is your reason for interfering with Sicily? We were not the aggressors against Syracuse, they are the ones who attempted to invade me. Howabout, for once, you let other nations resolve their own conflicts? Hmm? Just maybe?
Dude; I raised a 50k man army. You don't just leave that sort of thing sitting around collecting dust.
And no, I;m not going to interfere with you in Sicily. I'm just going to conquer all cities on Sardinia and give them to Kender.

Rise of Civilizations
Chapter XIV:The End
This is the end of rise of civilizations.
The civilizations have risen. The dominant civilization is the Umbrians. How, you demand? Because the Venetians gave the Umbrians every city under their control and so the Umbrians became the lords of the earth.
Why the Umbrians, you inquire, aware that they had been at war shortly before? Suffice it for you mortals to know that the gods were pleased with the King of the Umbrians, and with his timely orders, exacting in detail, that caused the gods considerable relief.
Other nations merely angered the gods, being tardy in their orders and lax in detail.
Thank you all for playing, and I hope you had a good time.
Comments welcome.
Crazed Rabbit
Alright. The game got a bit boring towards the end anyways, as I knew I pretty much had no shot of winning anyways once I saw CR's 50k man army. The whole plan me and Tran came up with early on pretty much got shot to pieces once Motep joined the game, since he at first delayed Tran from getting both islands, and once we had him beat, he got CR on his side, and the whole thing just collapsed. Also, it messed up because the other nations started conquering each other too quickly. We wanted you all divided, darn it!:wall: Basically, we were gonna grab our main lands, Tran with the islands and me Carthage, then double team Syracuse, and once conquered them, move up Italy southwards.
This game became a bit too easy for me after I booted Caius out of upper Italy. I just kept on expanding and expanding and expanding, unhindered by war or having to even think about raising troops for defense. About maybe halfway through I just started building fully upgraded cities all at once (7k per). Towards the end I was raking in 45k+ gold per turn. The Italians were fighting amongst themselves, pevergreen and I were allied and he wasn't going to attack. Tran and Motep were destroying each other. Syracuse didn't do much, and Carthage was far, far away and constrained by land.
I might run another variant of this (not for a month at least, methinks), where the rapid pace expansion would be slower. I wouldn't play. Even if I do make all my moves before I read others, I still know what they did the turns before.
The towns would already be built, with a couple villages per town. Each province would be a town with villages. Level of the town and number of villages would affect the taxes raised and men able to be hired for troops. Soldiers would take two turns to recruit, and towns could only be upgraded one level per turn. Starting new towns would be massively difficult and expensive, so that over the game it'd be about conquering the existing towns, not building your own. I would want to to reflect more future oriented strategy - you can't wait till the enemy are on your doorstep to hire troops, so you always need some around. Towns with castles would give big defense bonuses, but enemy armies could raid and burn villages and 'mines/woodmills/etc'.
Sea trade would be cut to nigh on negligible, and town taxes would make the bulk of income, maybe some from 'mines/woodmills/etc' operation going on in a province.
I can't decide if I would want to make big changes to the combat/military system.
CR
Thanks for running this CR :bow:
It was a lot of fun, I agree it was getting a bit slow towards the end as everyone could predict what was going to happen.
Excellent game, CR... ended up being quite interesting! Thinly veiled aggression FTW! :laugh4:
Always looked forward to seeing the new map on Mondays.
Actually at the end there was quite a bit of change with Rome surpassing Illyria to become #2 (the gap would only have grown for the next several turns...) and of course the Umbrians being reduced, but even all that was a moot point. Too bad Caius capitulated so quickly! :laugh4:
This is a good idea, but what would prevent spamming of small armies to take unoccupied towns?Quote:
