Rise of Civilizations Part 2 [Concluded]

[Crazed Rabbit]

Ha! Funny you should say that; you who brings an armada north to threaten countries that have done you no harm.

Even my enemies I allow to start new lives on my very borders, when I could have enriched myself by destroying them completely. Do you see my ships roaming the seas like pirates? It is you who approaches the two war weary rivals like a wolf.

My intentions are not belligerent, nor do I carry ill will towards any. Can you not see my peaceful relations with the Illyrians? I am not going to start any more wars in this game, but woe upon he who declares war on me.

Or perhaps you want the Umbrians and Romans to look to the north with fear while you attack their cities?

[pevergreen]

Illyria shall soon run out of room, then shall be forced to upgrade them all from level 4 to level 5. Maybe disband some of my 8000 army as well.

[Ignoramus]

Hiero implores the Romans, Perugians, and Eperiotes to stop squabbling and unite in defense of civilisation agaisnt the Gauls to the north.

[pevergreen]

Defence? Gaul has long been the ally of Illyria. Gaul has stated that he will not attack. Will you not believe him?

[CountArach]

Hiero implores the Romans, Perugians, and Eperiotes to stop squabbling and unite in defense of civilisation agaisnt the Gauls to the north.

Rome will never accept peace with the Epirotes. This war has gone too long now for us to simply stop it.

[Crazed Rabbit]

Hiero implores the Romans, Perugians, and Eperiotes to stop squabbling and unite in defense of civilisation agaisnt the Gauls to the north.

Um...I don't think the Gauls are going to do much...

CR

[Caius]

Um...I don't think the Gauls are going to do much...

CR

Sadly, We cant do much.

I don't want to be destroyed.

[Crazed Rabbit]

Reminder! Get your turns in!

I won't be able to remind you as usual, as I'm going to college over the weekend.

Also, the next chapter may not be up until Monday.

CR

[Crazed Rabbit]

Some still hasn't gotten their turn in; (imagine me as Shatner saying Khan!) MOTEP!

If he hasn't got it in by tomorrow, we'll continue w/o his orders.

CR

[pevergreen]

He has been away for about 2 weeks AFAIK.

Continue.

[Crazed Rabbit]

We will continue. Expect the update sometime today.

CR

[Motep]

Did I arrive just in the nick of time, maybe?

Rise of Civilizations
Chapter VIII: The Beginning of Total War

Epeiros has marked a new descent of humanity as its leader ordered the razing of Circeii so it would not fall into enemy hands. The army that had just captured it marched north to Norcia, but did not attack or lay siege.

Two great armies have laid siege to the capital of Epeiros, Taras, and combined form a force greater than ever before seen in the world.

The Kendish forces manage to hold Tathari against Carthaginian assault, as a great army offloads itself from an armada and attacks. Between the two isles, Sardinian fleets combine and finish off the Kendish armada, and are joined later by the aramada from Carthage.

Across the world, other nations make preparations for war, readying armies and armadas.

Near the end of the season, ominous clouds gather, darkening the skies above Corsica. Lightning kills many a peasant, and people huddle in fear. A great booming voice scolds the King of Kender for scorning the gods and demands all righteous people punish these transgressors!



Turn Nine has begun. Your orders are due by Friday.

Crazed Rabbit

[pevergreen]

Ah, time to upgrade them all from tier 4 to tier 5.

I feel special making more money than i spend (spent 15k, made 17k)

[Ignoramus]

I didn't get my turn PM.

[Crazed Rabbit]

Well, a PM to you is in my sent box, but I'll resend it.

CR

[pevergreen]

Has the hide icon been taken away for the map?

[Crazed Rabbit]

Yes. I didn't want anyone to miss the thunderstorm over Corsica.

CR

[CountArach]

A message to the Kingdom of Epirus!

How dare you have the gall to raze our most beloved City! My popel will not rest until every man, woman and child in that city is avenged and the people of Taras pay in blood! We will survive and carry on as we ever have. You shall not.

I ask of my Umbrian friends and allies to allow me to burn this city of Taras and to have the ppleasure of driving the cold, sharp sword into the guts of these Epirotes. They are less than human.

[Ignoramus]

If you Romans burn Taras, then I warn you that the fair city of Rome shall not stand long. We Greeks do not take kindly to Latin aggression.

Hiero II, King of Syracuse.

[CountArach]

Latin agression? LATIN AGRESSION!? How can an act of revenge be considered agression? We did not wish for this war, but now I can guarantee that we will prosecute it TO THE VERY END!

[Twilightblade]

Threats fly and diplomats(theroetically) are slaughtered
Ahhhhh how a ghost enjoys such things

[Motep]

This sucks...My enemies have joined forces against me. An by the way, CR, whats up with the lightningstorm? Funny, though, that there was a lighting storm here a couple hours ago.

Hows this, Tran. Ill give you Tathari back on the condition that you and your buddy stop attacking me. I cant really do much, spent all of my limited funds on armies, which are now completely decimated, leaving me to gaze upon the smoke and ruins that is my "grand campaign" to get back at tran. But, I still have an ace up my sleeve, and will use it if necessary.

[Crazed Rabbit]

An by the way, CR, whats up with the lightningstorm?

It's to signify the displeasure of the gods with your late turn. Didn't you read the chapter summary?

Funny, though, that there was a lighting storm here a couple hours ago.

Hmmm...

Interesting talk between Syracuse and Rome.

Crazed Rabbit

[Caius]

Indeed CR, this is an interesting converstation.

[Crazed Rabbit]

*stirs up conversation*

So, any bets on who goes to war next?

I'm wondering what Syracuse is going to do...

And a brief note on current game progressions:

REMINDER: Get your turns in!

Hmm, my guess is that Venice is going to sweep down from the North like an angry plague, and consume all in its path. Just my prediction, anyways.

Nothing!

Everyone attack Syracuse!!!!!
