Rise of Civilizations Part 2 [Concluded]

[Motep]

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... . 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?

[Tran]

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.

[Crazed Rabbit]

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.

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.

[Tran]

Unless Venetian destroy the fotress and withdraw their army at Corsica. I don't think Carthage should withdraw their army from Sardinia either.

[seireikhaan]

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.

[Motep]

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 ) 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?

[seireikhaan]

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.

[Caius]

One question to the host, when this game will end?

[Crazed Rabbit]

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.



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

[pevergreen]

Surrender at my might

[Faust|]

pff, not you alone...

Besides, Rome will soon be mightier than you, if they are not already...

[CountArach]

I thank the Umbrians

[Faust|]

Absolutely, Roman friends!

[Motep]

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"

[Twilightblade]

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

[Caius]

Can you curse all our enemies?

[Motep]

Can you curse all our enemies?

No, because then Ill be screwed. He could curse my enemies, no harm to you, Caius.

[Twilightblade]

ooooo instead of storm clouds can a swarm of ghosts scare the populace of the next person not to send in orders?

[Motep]

ooooo instead of storm clouds can a swarm of ghosts scare the populace of the next person not to send in orders?

Yes, The ghost of Twilight will haunt you all!

It might be easier to have CR play for me, or gift all of my possessions to CR. I dont mind which.

[CountArach]

I will get mine in later this afternoon.

[Motep]

It would be me.

Im low on time for the next few weeks.

Seriously, how much time does it take to make orders?

[pevergreen]

More time than I have. I like to think over them.

[seireikhaan]

If you're going to give all your cities and such to CR, then we might as well declare him the winner and move on to another RoC game.
