[pevergreen]

Illyria states that all skittles must be brought to the "Skittle Palace" to be constructed this turn.

[Twilightblade]

The Etruscans ask that Illyria gets over the skittles

[CountArach]

Rome seconds their neighbours proposal.

[Orb]

Epeiros has already dispatched an army to collect the skittles for King Orb. Resistance is futile. EXTERMINATE!

[Motep]

Nice intro, CR

Anyway, I see some infidels making settlements on the island north of ours...you have two options:

1. You submit and become our vassal, or
2. You prepare to dig your own graves

Which one will it be, infidel?

Infidel, eh? We will see whos conquering who.

I support orb in the quest for the skittles.

anyone wish to be allies?

Rise of Civilizations
Chapter II: War Begins

It has not taken long for the civilizations across the world to begin fighting with each other. War has broken out in central Italy, as an army from the nation of Umbria has attacked the capital of the smaller nation of Etruscan. The small force hired by the ruler of Etruscan is quickly routed by the Umbrian army, and the handful of men remaining flee to the just constructed Etruscan castle to the south. They have paid the price for poor leadership. The nation of Etruscan is finished, though its ruler may yet survive.
The Umbrians occupy the city and loot the coffers of the fleeing ruler.

In the south of Italy, a great army from Epeiros marches straight at the Roman city of Capua. Such an army has never been seen before in the world.

In other parts of the world, peace still maintains a tenuous grasp, as cities and castles are constructed. Whether the conflict that has gripped Italy will spread is yet to be seen.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Turn Three has begun. Your Orders are due by Friday.

Also, castle defense bonuses are now as follows; 20%,30%,40%, still cost 2k gold per level.

IMPORTANT: Unless told to me via PM or this thread, all nations still trade with each other until their forces engage in physical combat.

[CountArach]

The Roman people demand to know why the Epirotes are moving their soldiers towards Capua. We have made no agressive moves towards you.

[Twilightblade]

If this is what happens when I miss one turn of orders then I'll never do it agian

[Ignoramus]

Appeal to CA, He might be able to negotiate a ceasefire with Umbria. It's unlikely though.

[Twilightblade]

Yeah I see only one option other than Total Annihilation (is that the right spelling?)

[Ignoramus]

Or you could sail away with your soldiers and form an outpost somewhere.

[Caius]

Cant we live in peace?

[Faust|]

Yeah I see only one option other than Total Annihilation (is that the right spelling?)

I'll talk. Do you have any money left?

[Tran]

I'll talk. Do you have any money left?

I'll answer. What if no money left?

[Faust|]

I'll answer. What if no money left?

He could lie, but I'll find out before he's out of my reach. Then, I'll go Machiavelli on him . So let's resume civil discussion.

[Faust|]

EDIT: Actually, I've found out the answer to the money question. So you'll of course have free passage to leave. If you want a boat I'll provide that too.

[Orb]

Well, Rome will be Rome.

My reasons:

1) I hate Rome.
Misou Roman
2) I hate Rome, really I do.
Misou Roman de.
3) Because I needed to conquer somewhere with my
army-that's-too-big-for-sustained-economy and you were the most convenient target.

4) Because I want a war.
'thelo machen.
5) Because I couldn't be bothered to build any ships.

Also, if you can outbid the Umbrian/Samnite chappies, I'm prepared to switch sides.

[CountArach]

Oh? So the Umbrians hired you? This is interesting.

Thanks Faust, much appreciated.

[Twilightblade]

So anyone need a noble? Or want one for that matter?

[Faust|]

Oh? So the Umbrians hired you? This is interesting.

Thanks Faust, much appreciated.

Nope, didn't hire him.

[pevergreen]

So anyone need a noble? Or want one for that matter?

Not after your level of activity last game.

[Twilightblade]

You mean the one where I couldn't post and didn't know I actually had an income? Yeah great reason.
