by Optimus Prime <michigan@netbistro.com> to all players;



When Optimus Prime learned that the Olympic Wars had begun, he
immediately went to pray at the alter of Samaranch. He brought one
camera, one golden shoe, and a half eaten hot dog to be sacrificed at
the temple. As he was swearing his allegiance to the Organizers, a
great booming voice decended from the heavens. "Great Warlord, it is
your duty to rid the Olympic Wars of all of the groups pretending to
represent the Olympic Virtues. The Atheletes are overpaid, whining
baies, the press have withered away into a rabble of papparazzi, and
the spectators, well, they're spectators (need I say more). The
Organizers will be victorious. Now, go mighty warlord and fulfill your
destiny!" Upon hearing this, Optimus Prime ordered a unit of griffins
to build  in IOC, and immediately set off to pick up some "official
sponsoring" at the nearest ruin, with the greatest war ever to come!

Hips to all!

        As my other self, the Ever Zigzagging Zagreus, is still trying to
find his way among the (rose?) elephants of the Practice game [shall we
give to each other the P** game where we fought? It's public anyway], I
have asked my little sister (by the father) Artemis, a powerful virgin, a
wonderful atlete, the best hunter you'll ever see, but also the friend of
the wild beasts, to lead my armies. I bet her brother Apollon won't stay
away from a good battle, either - even if Nitch [I use the probabl American
spelling of his name :)] would be surprised to see Apollon leading the
Satyrs and Menads of Dionysos! [BTW, don't misspell or abbreviate my name,
I'm a god, after all, show a bit of respect and clean your feet before
entering *my* temple - or...]

So... Artemis woke up in Locker Room (I usually wake up in my couch, but as
The Couch was already busy and as Arty doesn't like promiscuity with
humans...), disbanded a scout who had made a comment on her ass [which she
has very nice, but no man is left to say he has seen it...], made her
morning jogging through the forest (her natural place of living) and
petrified a scout in Amsterdam by mooning at him (from time to time, she is
also a goddess of the "moon"). [A'dam pillaged for 175 gp].

I note that the Organizers have immediately gone for the item which
produces money... No surprise for such a clan!

Stats at beginning
City 1
Gold 4215 (+ 40 / -25)
Hero exp.: arriving (0)

Griffins production purchased in Amsterdam for 1700 gp - wild beasts as
Arty like them
LCav prod. purch. in Locker Room for 200 gp - I need ppppowerfulll armmmies
to pppprotectt my cappitalllll!

4215 + 175 - 1700 - 200 = 2490 gp

Stats at the end
Cities 2
Gold 2490 (+ 60 / - 0)
Hero exp. Art.: 2 (+ 2)

Here is my turn 1 report; (I like these easy early turns)

The Reporters (Green) Start with;

1 City
4215 Gold
Income of 40 gold
Expenses of 25 gold
Duke of Death starts turn with 0 experience points

It was beautiful morning in the land of the Reporters when out of no =
where a dark cloud appeared over the old ruins at Devils Mannor, then the =
cloud opened up and a bolt of lighting struck the old crypt, and at long =
last the prophecy had been fulfilled, The Duke of Death emerges in the =
CNN office.

The Duke calls on his advisors,  during the meeting it is brought to the =
attenton of the Duke that the Organizers and Athletes have both made =
critical first turn mistakes (in the Duke opinion anyways). The Duke =
calls for a messenger, he orders the messenger to deliver a scroll to the =
Spectators (Blue) who are located in the southeast.

Diplomatic message to Spectators;

Hail Lord Elric-B

My Lord, let me introduce myself, my Name is the Duke of Death and my =
land resides to the west of your great empire. I have just awoken after a =
long sleep, I have just concluded a meeting with my military advisors, we =
have noticed a glaring flaw in the initial expansion plans of the =
Organizers (White)  and Athletes (Orange) to our respecitve north. I plan =
on moving against the neutral city of St. Moritz and next turn I will set =
free two Elementals, long thought to be dead, but are just waiting for me =
to awaken them. The 2 Elementals will move north at once to occupy the =
important border cities along the Green/White Border.

I humbly suggest that you head north and secure the city of C. dAmpezzo =
and then next turn you can set free the two Giant Worms that are rumered =
to live in a stronghold a little to the north.

The Organizers  and Athletes can not set their allies free until atleast =
turn 3, by then our forces should already be in place in the critical =
border cities.

I pledge not to take arms against your great nation if you agree to not =
take arms against mine. I also propose to divide the two neutral cities =
between our great lands the cities of Atlanta and Oslo, I will leave it =
to your great wisdom as to which city you want, please let my messenger =
know which city I should occupy.

If all goes as planed we will control 6 of the 8 important middle cities =
it will be a great North vs. South war if you agree, again please let my =
messenger know and quickly send him on his way.

Your Friend and Ally

Duke of Death

end of scroll


The Duke of Death marchs north and takes the neutral city of St. Mortiz, =
as the Duke approaches the city the gates are opened and a parade =
commences, the Duke accepts the Crown from the people, who are happy that =
the ancient  prophecy has indeed been fulfilled, the people of St. Mortiz =
present the Duke with 175 gold. The people declare that this day will =
long be remembered.

Duke Pillages St. Mortiz for 175 gold.

Builds;

Wolfriders in St. Mortiz for 450 gold
Wolfriders in CNN Office for 450 gold

I end my turn with;

2 Cities
3490 gold
Income of 60 Gold
Expenses of 0 gold
Duke of Death Ends turn with 2 experience points (+2 for turn)

Thats it

Duke of Death

"What does he bring for a message?"
"His Master thinks that he might be a worthy Ally of yours."
"Hmm... He does appear to be both trustworthy and mighty. I think indeed
that he might be a worthy and important ally in our course to liberate the
people of this fair land of their oppressing rulers and grant them our
kind guidance instead. Send the messenger back with the good news of our
newfound friendship."
"The messenger asked something about two cities that were to be divided,
two cities I have never heard about."
"Hmm.. where's my map? Give me my map!"
"Err.. I can't seem to find it, my Lord!"
"You worthless slob, say to the messenger that he will have to wait for
that decision until you can find that map. And have the guard doubled in
case this isn't your ordinary sloppyness but instead we have a spy in the
Castle. Hmm.. God knows some of the other Barons would easily stoop to
that kind of dishonourable behaviour.. Now leave me. I'll have to plan

Well, the foul Warlords to the South have decided to ally. The Olympics
would be nothing without the Atheltes and Organizers. Thou are just an
offshoot of our time and commitment. Atheletes, I propose a treaty
myself. The Reporters believe they have a foolproof plan to capture the
border cities without intervention. But I have a plan that will
counteract that. I can't divulge its intricacies to you without the
evil Papparazzi getting wind of it, and it won't become apparant until
everything is in place, but it will succeed. I propose a truce between
our mighty lands in order to rid the map of these wretched warriors.
Either the city that lies on our border or the ruin containing the
flying item will be yours without contest, and a temple sharing treaty
will be drawn up when the time arrives. I know your advisors will see
this is beneficial to both of our nations, and our nations will go on
to glory. (Nobody likes reporters and smelly couch potatoes anyway)


Meanwhile a new hero has emerged in the IOC with the most powerful ally
ever created. Megatron cost only 1213 gold, and the mighty dragon will
terrify any armies it faces. It already has conquered Stockholm,
pillaging for 175 gold, and is ready to face the vile Reporters.
Megatron now has the white standard, and his venturing south to fulfill
Optimus Prime's master plan.

Hipzzz to all!

        First, Artemis has now been joined in her divine quest by her
brother, Apollon, god of the sun and of the light, friend of the Muses, but
also a powerful archer, not afraid of any battle, well known to have slain
the serpent (or Worm?) Pytho of Delphi, among others... His friend came
with him, the Agathos Daimon, powerful, half-god, half-beast, human to his
friends only... (All this in Locker Room, for 1157 gold burps... so many
crazy things can happen in a Locker Room...).
        O dear Mod, pardon the young Apollon, new to this world, for he
desecrated the keep you are said to haunt for eternity, and avoiding a
traffic jam, toook the spear that so well served you, new Hercules, in so
many battles... (he is bat + 2).
        After that, the all-mercantile Agathos continued to neutral Paris,
which city he bargained: a scout gave it, with a bonus of 175 gb
(pillaged), for a few bottles of (first-quality) wine of Chios...
        Meanwhile, Artemis has found a new pet, a nice, little Baby Dragon,
which she has freed from Kay's Crypt... Beware: these two will be wild if
they are attacked!
        Convinced by a (nearly) non-military unit of Light Cavalry,
Spartans have joined our fidels and given 175 gb for the cult! Phalanxes of
hoplitai will of course be produced here.

Diplomacy:
- To my dear neighbour who is the first and thinks he is the best: I'll
enjoy to see your plan to counteract the Green thing (beware! he is "not
bad"), as I enjoy your proposition of a truce (possibly long? we'll see how
it works). With your agreement, I'll take the item, as Apollon is not too
happy to have lost his divine powers, even if only for the time of this
game. I leave you the city at our border (if my hero is first there, he
could want to gain a bit of experience in it, and then leave it open,
undefended and unpillaged? you would win a bit of money in it - I don't
know yet). We'll have to find an agreement about the garrisons in the
border cities, too.
- To the Green thing that thinks he knows everything better than the
others: nice, quick diplomatic move... Too quick? - You can be a Duke of
Death, I am a god of revival! Nobody can extinguish my thirst! (what a pity
we can't send wine by attachment, btw...)
- To the Southern Smurf: come if you dare, but be careful on your left!


Stats at beginning:
Cities: 2
Money: 1393 gb (+60/-2)
Heroes exp.: Artemis: 2; Apollon: new (0)

Production of wolves purchased in Paris (The wolves have entered Paris... a
great French song, BTW) for 450 gb
Production of Hv inf. purchased in Sparta for 300 gb
Production of Spiders purchased in Locker (I should clean up a bit,
perhaps) for 700 gb.

Stats at end:
Cities: 4 (Paris, Sparta taken from Neutral and pillaged each for 175 bp)
Money: 1393 - (450 + 300 + 700 = 1450) + (2 x 175 = 350) = 293 gb (+100/-2)
Heroes exp.: Artemis: 5 (+3); Apollon: 3 (+3)


Dionysos.

Boy I just must have better luck than you guys it only took me 20-30 =
reverts to get my hero/ally combo I wanted, it did not take me much time =
for my turn I had it all done earlyer in the week so without further ado;

I started with;

2 Cities;
3550 Gold
Income of 60 gold
Expenses of 0 gold
Duke of Death starts with 2 experience points;


The Duke was asleep when I messenager arrived at the city of St. Moritz, =
sire your orders have been completed. A priest from the Temple has been =
sent to Devils Manor, he had the magic stone with him and 1369 gold =
pieces, he placed them on top of your brothers tomb as your instructed =
and it happen just as you said it would the Earl of Evil arose right out =
of the gound he was accompained with a blue eyed Demon called Drake.

The Earl of Evil sent me here for instructions.

Excellent says the Duke inform him to visit the ruins at Zak's Zone it is =
rumered that Old King Klobucher's Chariot of Fire was buried there, then =
tell him to proceed west to secure the outer ring cites then head =
northeast towards Optimus Prime I heard he has some kind of plan to try =
to stop us, I will send another messenager later.

The Earl recieves the message from the Duke, the Earl marchs east towards =
the ruin and does indeed find the Chariot of Fire, oh a +2 battle item I =
feel stronger already, but after all that digging I am in need of some =
rest, the Earl sets up camp just next to the outer perimeter road. He =
orders Drake the Demon on ahead to see if he can reach the city of =
Sarajevo, take the city if you can it is very close to some more ruins =
and we will need help in the morning If I am to reach it. Drake completes =
his masters request and takes the city 175 gold is found.

Now that the Earl has returned its time for me to march to the north and =
free my 2 pet Elementals Speedy and Quick. The Duke accompained by a unit =
of Wolfriders searchs Barrow of Bruce and sets them free gives them their =
instructions. Speedy quicky heads northeast and liberates the cities of =
Barcelona and the key border city Montreal 175 gold is also found in each =
city.

Quick heads east along the inner circle road and reachs the city of =
Beijing aonther 175 gold is found.

A unit of wolfriders takes the city of Squaw Valley another 175 gold is =
found.

The Duke sets up camp next to the Lake of Blood, I see that Quick and =
Speedy and my other forces have had a bust day, 5 new cities and that all =
important border city secured along the White border.

A mesenager arrives in the Duke camp, sire we have intercepted a message =
from Optimus Prime he says he has some kind of plan to stop us from =
getting the border cities, he is attempting to form a  allaince with =
Dionysos.

The Duke says, a plan, I will have to look for it, but I think Optimus =
Prime  has made another mistake, I have contacted the gods of movement =
and they tell me that  Optimus Prime can reach the stronghold where the =
Ghosts live but he can not set them free until turn 4. So  Optimus Prime =
plan may be delayed for at least another turn, that will give us time for =
our spiders to set up shop and spin their webs.

Now for the builds send word at once to Drake and tell him to start =
building Giant Bats, it is much quicker to fly over those swamps then =
waste time and energy moving over land.

Send another messanger to our friend to the east Lord Elric, the message =
says;

Oh Great Lord Elric; thank you for sending me a return message, I am =
glade you agree to be allies, now that you have had some time to review =
the map, I ask again what city would you like to occupy along our border =
Oslo or Atlanta, both cites have their advantages and disadvantages =
choose wisely. I will be ready to move forces towards one of the cites on =
the next sunrise, please send a messenager back to my camp with your =
reply.

Duke of Death.

Recap of events;

Earl of Evil and a Demon arive in the city of CNN office at a cost of =
1369 gold, maybe a little expensive, but I hate playing with the =
reverter, I can live with it.

Earl of Evil searchs a ruin and finds the Chariot of Fire

Wolfrider pillages the Neutral city of Squaw Valley for 175 gold
Demon pillages the Neutral city of Sarajevo for 175 gold
Duke of Death searchs a stronghold and finds 2 Elementals
One Elemental pillages the Neutral city of Barcelona for 175 gold
Same Elemental pillages the Neutral city of Montreal for 175 gold
Other  Elemental pillages the Neutral city of Beijing for 175 gold

Builds;

Built Giant Bats at Sarajevo for 160 Gold
Built Spiders in Barcelona for 700 Gold
Built Spiders in Montreal for 700 Gold
Built Wolfriders in Beijing for 450 Gold

Gold Tally;

Started with 3550 gold - 1369 (Hero) =3D 2181 gold;

2181 + 175*5 =3D 3056 - 700 -700  - 450 - 160 =3D 1046 Gold


I ended with;

7 Cities;
1046 Gold
Income of 160 gold
Expenses of 8 gold
Duke of Death ends turn with 5 experience points (+3 for turn)
Earl of Evil ends turn with 3 experience points (+3 for turn)

Thats all she wrote;

"Sire, the Messenger from the Duke of Death has returned! The Duke seems
quite anxious to get an answer!"
"Very well, tell him I like the sunny South and would because of this
prefer the city of Oslo located south of Atlanta if I can trust my map
which I found in the garden yesterday. It has been all smeared down with
dirt and I have to order a new from the scribe! And let that be a lesson
to you that when I say that we don't want too many windows open in here I
mean it!"
"Yes Sire! And another question if I may trouble you a bit more. When you
were occupied otherwise I studied the map yesterday and saw a little
interesting detail."
"And what might that be?"
"There is a Ruin rumoured to contain a flying mat located on the border
between our territory and the territory of our ally of Death."
"Hmm.. Well done. He hasn't mentioned his intentions regarding this yet.
Tell his messenger to return with this additional question and ask our
ally for a clarification here."

Hips to all!

Stats at the beginning: 4 cities, 391 gb (100/2); Artemis' exp.: 5;
Apollon's exp.: 3.

Lidl' Apo visits the L'air of Luther. What the hell is that for a name? I
can't find a joke about it ;-(. At least Apo found a new ally sent by uncle
Hades himself: a devil! Like another myself... Another devil came with him,
to be sure he didn't get lost on the way... but this second devil was
sent... to hell!

The (nearly) all-mighty Artemis finds the house of another George
(Harrison, of course), full of Beatles... She hardly escapes a stampede, as
no less than 4 Wizards offer their service to the goddess of the wild
powers of nature... Only the two most skilled are allowed to join the army;
the two younger ones are asked to clean the house for the next game...
[What a pity! Three allies in a turn, that I can't use... Snifff... Gimme
another bottle of ambrosia to forget that...]

Helped by one of these new friends, Artemis' pet Dragon climbs on top of
Mt. Everest and finds a unique Edelweiss, worth 175 gb (of course, it could
also have pillaged the trash left by so many climbers...). They are said to
be preparing Worm soup for one these days... Is that something they eat in
Seoul???

The Agathos Daemon enters the most venerated city of Olympia without any
resistance from the lonely, neutral scout. The priests of my father's
temple join our quest and gladly give 175 gb for our cult. This way, I like
to have a family...

The first unit of Griffins takes Tokyo out of its neutrality and wins 175
gb in a contest of sake-drinking (sorry, one more "cliche"...).

Wolfriders purchased in Tokyo for 450 gb.
LInf. purchased on top of Mt. Everest for 160 gb.


Stats at the end:
Cities: 7
Gold: 391 + (3 x 175 = 525) - 450 - 160 = 306 gb
Balance: +160/-33
Heroes' exp.: Artemis 8 (+ 3); Apollon: 6 (+ 3)

Diplomacy
To Primus (the name of a Belgian beer: slurp!): what are the bushels??? -
If you don't build offensive units in the cities of St. Louis and of
Berlin, I'll feel safer and be defensive too in London (let's say...
nothing bigger than spiders?). Be truthful, and we'll both be able to send
reinforcement to the South (where they are said to be close to argue about
a flight item...).
To the Duck Greenius: Hi. How are your kids? (sorry, nothing else to say...
for the moment).
To Lordus Elsmurfus: I never said I didn't like the Smurfs... don't you
remember where they are from? (from my little country! and from a deep
forest!) But of course with these bloody Worms of yours going the wrong
way, as if they wanted to die quicker...

Enjoy my mistakes!

Dionysos.

Boy oh Boy I just came back from a weekend get away and was surprized and =
happy to see the game move so much, I will take my turn Monday before =
noon time EST, I do not want to make any late night mistakes.

Message to my great and powerful ally Lord Elric;

I have reveived your messanger, he has told me you perfer the sunny city =
of Oslo in the south, a wise choice ! I will take the City of Atlanta.

Your messanger also said something about the Flying item, yes yes and =
very good point, I see that our  northern foes have all ready agreed to =
who gets it and now they are hoping that the item will be cause for =
friction between us.

I should have mentioned it to you before, but I was not sure on what your =
initial expansion plans were going to be, and I did not want you to think =
I was directing you or giving you too much advice, so I figured I would =
wait till your second hero arrived and see what direction he took.

Now that I see your second hero arrived in the city of C.d Ampezzo as =
opposed to the Couch, it seams to me mind you that maybe you did not want =
the flying item, if the hero had arrived in the Couch then he would be at =
least 1 turn closer. As it is now I calculate that you can not reach the =
ruin until turn 6 and even then you may not have enough movement points =
to get it until turn 7, that assumes you build Giant Bats in the city of =
Calgary to help Moonglum fly over the swaps.

Now I understand you would like the item, and of cource so would I, what =
Warlord would not, but since I can reach it on turn 5 then end my turn 5 =
on my gold stronghold or 1 movement point off, I think you would agree I =
could put it to use more quickly against our enemies.

I will also need it to help defend the critical city of Atlanta, this =
city is very important o both of us, since it is the gateway to both our =
lands, besides Atlanta, I will also have to defend 2 other border cites =
along the White/Green border, so you can see how this will put me at a =
disadvantage.

So in closing I would like to get the fight item, however if you disagree =
with me pleaase let me know. I will not take my turn for another 12-14 =
hours, And even then I or you will still not be in position for another 2 =
turns to get the item.

I just do not want you to leave your self to weak along your border with =
Orange, and have Moonglum down south when he will be needed to counter =
Orange. If you get the item at the end of your turn 6 then it will take =
him to turn 8 or 9 until you can get him ready to fight Orange.

I await your reply and any thoughts suggestions you may have. I am sure =
the Northern team may have some comments to try to divide us do not =
listen to their lies.

Your ally

The Duke of Death

by Irwin Bill <Bill.Irwin@GSC.GTE.Com> to all players;

As promised here is my turn 3 report,

I started with;

7 cities,
1198 gold
Income of 160 gold
Expenses of 8 gold
Duke of Death Starts with 5experience points
Earl of Evil Starts with 3 experience points

On the third day of this wonderfull 20 day battle, The Duke realized, if =
we are going to have any chance to win this war we must find more gold, =
send a messanger to each city and to the Earl asking for new ways to =
raise some more capital.

And with that a Unit of Wolfriders were dispatched to the neutral city of =
Nargano, the riders quickly surounded the city, the garrision gave up =
without a battle and donated 175 gold to the Duke's treasury.

With the good news of the additonal gold, the Duke summered another unit =
of wolfriders to help lead him through the forest and to the ruins where =
it was rummered that a Fierce Dargon lived. Then the Duke arrived at the =
ruins, there was a sign posted "If thee enter the cave thou must pay a =
tribute", the Duke knew that the Dragons of the area preferred tasty =
wolfriders above all else, as the wolfriders stepped forward to sacrifice =
themselfs the Duke yelled NO, I will deal with this my self. The Duke =
entered the Dragons lair, two dragons immediately attacked the Duke, the =
Duke quickly killed one, and the other submitted and agreed to help the =
Duke in his conquest of the Northern territories. The Dragon told the =
Duke his name Drago,and that he had a long lost brother in the North but =
feared he may be dead, I assured Drago fear not we will look for him and =
maybe he can help us.

The Duke then heads north again and approaches the city of Chamonix, the =
city dwellers see the Duke and Drago, white flags are razed and the   =
Duke enters the city and sets up camp for the night, the city elders =
bring a gift of 175 gold, the Duke is pleased.

In the South, the Earl consults with the High Wizard of Movement, sire =
you will need much help if you are to free the Devil that lives in the =
ruin to the north of Sarajevo , yes you are correct, that is why I have a =
unit of Demons and Giants Bats at my ready, the Demon will escort me =
through the forest, while the Giant Bats will lift me over the dangerous =
swamps. With the help of the Demon and Giant Bats, the Earl is able to =
reach the ruin and David the Devil is released, the Earl gives him his =
marching orders and then proceeds southwest towards the flight item.

The Earl sends word to the Duke, the Duke expected more from the Earl and =
wants to know way he has sent no gold, The Earl expains he needed the =
help of the Demon to get through the forest and no gold was found this =
day. But the Earl has one further idea on how to expand the treasury a =
little more, he dispatches another messanger to the Duke.

The Duke reads the message, excellent a fine idea quick send a note to =
the Earl with my thanks and send a messenager on to Speedy.

Speedy receieves his marching orders and proceeds Northeast into white =
territory and pillage the neutral city of Mexico City in the white home =
land, Speedy gathers as much gold as he can find (175) and heads back to =
the safety of Montreal.


A message to my southern ally Lord Elric,

I have dispatched another message to you, I have been reading some =
intercepted several messages from our Northern Foes, the white side wrote =
to the Orange side;

"Either the city that lies on our border or the ruin containing the
flying item will be yours without contest,"

So as it stands now Orange will get the flight Item and White the city =
along their border (Berlin) I guess they they forget that there are two =
cites along their border the other is Munich. This is similar to the =
proposal I made, except I included the other border city. I wonder what =
kind of agreement White and Orange will come to on that city ? 

Another message; from orange to white,

"If you don't build offensive units in the cities of St. Louis and of
Berlin, I'll feel safer and be defensive too in London (let's say...
nothing bigger than spiders?). Be truthful, and we'll both be able to =
send
reinforcement to the South."

A good plan on their part, I would like to propose the same on our part, =
I do not want to keep to many troops along our border when they can be =
used in the north, I am sure you would agree.

Since your Demon is in range of Oslo next turn, and I assume that you =
take it, please do not garrison it with too powerful of offensive forces.

If/when I take the city of Atlanta I will do the same, I would like to =
propose we built nothing stronger than spiders, I would feel safer with =
Hvy Inf since they are cheaper and definitely more defensive.

Orange's hero will be very busy up north getting the flight item, and he =
will be out of range for quite a few more turns we will have to try to =
take advantage of this, try to get your hero north as soon as possible, I =
see that Orange has moved his forces well, and I am sure white will do =
the same when he gets his Ghosts freed next turn.

I look forward to your reply and any ideas you want to share.

Signed

Duke of Death

"Herald, come here!"
"Yes, my Lord!"
"Send a messenger to our dear ally with the following message!"
"Yes Sire, let me just get my parchment."
"Dear Duke Of Death! Blah blah blah. Fill in the usual pleasentries here.
As you can well see by now I have not left any heavy offensive troops near
your territory but instead I dearly hope that you too honor our
non-aggresive pact. My Scouts have reported in that one of your Devils
seemed to be roaming the forests between our Noble Nations but I am sure
this is only part of your Master Plan to quickly bring it closer to the
battle field against your evil neighbour in the North. My suggestion is
that we leave at most 1 unit of Strenght 4 or below in our mutual border
cities and keep all abundant production vectored away to more important
cities. In turn I agree to your suggestion that you may explore the ruin
containing the Flying Mat. (I hope it goes without saying that we don't
mess with ruins that are naturally belonging to eachother.) I would be
very preferable if we could keep our border free of tension since I am
currently looking at a very nasty oppenent in the woods. My Scouts have
returned bringing reports about Dragons and Wizards and Demons and Devils
and Griffins and Manticores and Giant Slugs. I am sure some of this is
just rumours but I still feel I am going to need every troop I can find to
conquer this evil spreading out from the Dark Forest.. Your Ally Lord
Elric."

The following message was sent on Wednesday October 22, 1997 at 02:07 AM EDT
by Optimus Prime <michigan@netbistro.com> to all players;

Today was a day of setting free powerful allies in the Organizer lands.
First, Optimus Prime received blessings from God in the form of a
mighty Archon. To the South, Megatron finally forced two units of
ghosts to fight by his side after being to tired to do it last turn. He
then carried on with one of the ghosts to ally with a Demon in a ruin
to the east. Two units of Dwarves captured St Louis and Mexico City
respectively although there were no defenders in Mexico and only 10
gold. (Good Move) :)


To my mighty ally, our neighburs to the South have raised the issue of
the southernmost city on our border. I feel I am in the best position
to capture the city, as I have two groups capable of defeating the
griffon on the turns after this. From what I can see, your armies will
take one more extra. Of course, we both will have full access to the
temple as soon as you defeat the Worm in the city on your side. If you
do not agree with me, send a messenger to my advisors and further
discussion will take place. Regardless of what we choose, our enemies
will try to divide us with useless propaganda. 


As for defending the cities, I take it one step further than our
neighburs to the South. I propose leaving the cities of St Louis,
London and Berlin undefended until the beginning of Turn 9. This will
allow us to free up armies to battle the hordes in the south. I plan to
build spiders in Berlin, then vector them. Feel free to build whatever
you like, just vector them right away. (If you agree)

Hips to all!

Well, for once, a diplomatic message... for you, Optime Prime Maxime (I use
a Vocative, as expected in Latin; for the non-Latinists this simply means
"the Best, First, and Greatest") in particular... Please try to answer
quickly, as I have to my make my move this Thursday evening and will
probably need my timeouts later...

I hips... sorry hope you are not against some bargaining between allies. We
made a mistake not to include this city (Munich) in our original agreement;
what they did is worse, as Green will have both the city with the
Griffin/money AND the item, Blue having only the small city [Great Smurf,
why did you accept that???]. I do agree that you're going to be the first
in Munich (careful! the enemy is close!), and that I should leave it to
you; but I don't like the idea of trading two cities, one major and one
minor (Latin words again!) for an item... Wouldn't it be more fair to trade
the major city (producing Griffins/700 gb) for the the item plus the minor
one (worth 175 gb only)? So I ask you to give me Berlin, unpillaged. If you
agree, I'll be able to concentrate my actions towards the South, which
means it will take me 2-3 more turns to have an army there (I don't know
yet which one I'll distract); meanwhile, I have no problem with your hero
gaining some experience and you 20 or 40 gb(?) in taking Berlin, as long as
you leave it unpillaged and undefended when I'll be there.
If you have any other idea, tell me

A "No" from you wouldn't mean a break up in our alliance. But be sure I'll
remember whatever I'll owe you, and I hope you'll give me a good trade off
to remember... We have still a long way to go together...


>As for defending the cities, I take it one step further than our neighburs

Do as you want. I definitely prefer to have at least 1 Hv. inf. in this
kind of cities; slow as they are, you would have all the time to change
your vectoring if I were fool enough to move them toward your cities; so, I
think for you it will be as good as empty city/cities.


Dionysos.

P.S. Oooops! Sorry! Not a word for the Southerners? That wouldn't be
polite! Here it is: Hi! Nothing more to tell you for the time being...

Let's the Fun be with you (and me)!

Hips to all!


Stats at beginning: 7 cities, 433 gb (+160/-45); Artemis' exp.: 8; Apollon's: 6.

Devil and Demon free the women and good people of Rome from the tyranny of
their neutral senators and scouts, whose houses are pillaged (for 175
gb)... Why do my troops pillage for once? Because a very long time ago (at
the beginning of IInd cent. B.C., that's a lot of time before our
Olympics), they dared to try to forbid my Bacchanalia! Revenge took a long
time, but I always take my revenge...

Artemis avoids a pothole in Panagos' Tomb and receives (of course!) the
official Blessing of Olympus (thanks to Daddy Zeus [in American: "Juice"?]
and to the rest of the family... Even our stepmother Hera nearly forgot to
protest... so evil are our enemies!). Then she finds a fine spot to look at
the site(s) of her next victory/ies...

Dwarf production purchased in Olympia for 450 gb.


Stats at end: 8 cities, 158 gb (+ 180/- 45); Artemis: 11 exp. (+ 3);
Apollon: 6 (-).

To Optimus Prime, my dear ally: you didn't answer to my message, but I
don't care; I'm sure our alliance will continue and be fruitful, and I hope
you'll consider some sharing of Berlin or some other way to compensate the
advantage you have in taking Munich without contest; 175 gb is not much
compared to the 850 you'll get in Munich; add to this a happy ally...
To the two Southerners: good headaches, good defeats and all this kind of
stuff...

MtFbwY, and enjoy my mistakes...

Optimus Prime sends a messanger to his mighty ally to the east.

My deepest apologies for my lord not responding sooner, but the lordess
wanted to go watch a moving picture on a big screen with surround sound!
(Even warlords can't defy the fairer sex)

My lord sends congratulations on finding a great compromise for this
situation. Optimus is not yet sure if he can afford to lose movement to
gain experience points by pillaging Berlin. That will have to be seen in
the turns ahead. He hereby hands over to you the deeds to Berlin, use them
in good health!

He understands you want to place an army in your city, and has no problems
with it. He will not be guarding our border until the turns ahead, so his
faith is in you.

As for the couch potatoes in the south-east, my lord wonders if you let
your little sister make up the treaty that left you with only one minor
city, or did you fall prey to the Reporters poisonous tongue? Those
reporters can twist the facts, as we all know!

Hi guys, kind of a boring turn not much happened, had it all worked out =
earlier, so here goes;

I started with;

9 Cities
349 Gold
Income of 200 gold
Expenses of 44 gold
Duke of Death Starts with 10 experience points
Earl of Evil Starts with 6 experience points

Day 4 arrived it was a dark and rainy day, I hate the rain yells the =
Duke, quick summon my royal weather forcasters, as they enter the room, =
the Duke yells STOP THE RAIN I need clear weather and dry fields if I am =
to continue my march north against the Evil White forces. The forecasters =
promise better conditions ask for permission to start their dry weather =
chants, the Duke agrees, but if I do not have clear weather by the time =
my forces are assembled heads will roll.

In the south a wolfrider is dispatched to attack the city of Innsbruck, =
the city quickly falls and 175 gold is found in a sage deposit box.

In the north Quick the Elemental and a unit of Wolfriders approach the =
border city of Moscow, they are shocked when they see the city is gaurded =
by a unit of Griffins. They quickly send a messenager to the Duke to ask =
for instructions.

The Duke recieves the messenager, Griffins in the city of Moscow how did =
that happen, last I heard the city was defended by only weak units, the =
Duke calls for his Battle Advisor, Sir Warrior of Warbot, Sir Warbot =
explains that if both the Elemental and Wolfrider attack the City of =
Moscow that they should be able to defeat the Griffin. The Duke sends the =
messenager back to the outskirts of Moscow, he delivers the note to =
Quick, Quick informs the Wolfrider to storm the front gates, while I =
attack from the rear. The plans works successfuly, but in the battle the =
unit of Wolfriders die, Quick is so enraged that the city is pillaged and =
850 gold is recovered.

Back at the Duke's camp his forces mount up and are reday to march, the =
Duke arrives, it is still raining, he recalls the forcasters, who beg for =
forgiveness, the Duke will have none of it and takes their heads, ah with =
all this rain I will get stuck in the forest, he orders a unit of =
wolfriders to clear a path to the northwest towards the ruins. The Duke =
and wolfriders make it to the ruins the Duke recovers his father's =
Olympic Fire, well at least I have the Fire of the Olympics this should =
help me in my further night battles.

The Duke heads North East towards the Great Border city of Montreal, but =
because of the rain does not reach the safety of the city and is forced =
to set up camp along the road.

The Duke call for a messanger;

Message to my distinguished ally to the east

Greating Lord Elric;

Let me send you both my thanks and astonishment at your great expansion =
plans and the number of cites you took on the last day was truly =
remarkable. I knew that if we worked together we could take and hold the =
critcal border cites between the North and South. I have just taked the =
city of Moscow, to complete the task.

I have received your messager you asked me several questions here are my =
replys,

> My Scouts have reported in that one of your Devils
>seemed to be roaming the forests between our Noble Nations but I am sure
>this is only part of your Master Plan to quickly bring it closer to the
>battle field against your evil neighbour in the North.

I see that your Lordship is very knowledgable,  yes my Devil has moved =
out of the southern forests and moved north towards the city of Atlanta, =
if I have any luck I should be able to take the city when daylight =
approaches, this should stop the northern forces from marching into our =
Southland.

You also wrote;

< My suggestion is that we leave at most 1 unit of Strenght 4 or below in =
our <mutual border cities and keep all abundant production vectored away =
to more <important cities.

Yes, yes a great idea, but with your blessings I will need to keep more =
than one strength 4 unit in the city of Atlanta to hold off the evil =
White Forces, I have started to vector some of the other forces away frm =
my other border cities.

And you wrote;

<In turn I agree to your suggestion that you may explore the ruin
<containing the Flying Mat. (I hope it goes without saying that we don't
<mess with ruins that are naturally belonging to eachother.) 

I truly wise suggestion, I have given strict orders to the Earl not to =
cross over the Atlanta/Oslo east/west line, the only exception is the =
flying item. The gold in the stronghold on the east side is yours, but =
the sooner you get it the better. 

<I would be very preferable if we could keep our border free of tension =
since I <am currently looking at a very nasty oppenent in the woods. My =
Scouts have
<returned bringing reports about Dragons and Wizards and Demons and =
Devils
<and Griffins and Manticores and Giant Slugs. I am sure some of this is
<just rumours but I still feel I am going to need every troop I can find =
to
<conquer this evil spreading out from the Dark Forest.. Y

Yes I have heard rummers that the Orange forces are even now attempting =
to out flank your forces by hiding over the water, you will indeed need =
all of your forces to counter him, as I will need all of mine to counter =
the fierce white forces who are getting stronger by the hour.

Good luck with your battles

Respectifully yours

Duke of Death

        Dear Optime,

                Of course, you can now choose to take Berlin rather than
the less valuable Munich - as I can't use my divine power and foresee the
enemy's moves, I thought of this one only during the week-end... Well,
he'll pay for it! Ever heard of the Erinyes, who, looking for revenge,
always fly around the head of the killers, bringing them madness and death?
For me as well as for El Rico, take your time to take your turn. :)
        Poor Elricus,
                Didn't you know that I consider Griffins as a protected
species? Of course, you like Minotaurs, which are somewhat of my family and
nicely wild, but... I'm afraid I'll have to make sure that you'll pay for
it!

LtFbwY

I have noticed that you like your dear Griffins and invite you to bring
them South, I am sure they need to get their wings clipped and besides.
Although perhaps you shouldn't empty your dear kingdom of troops.. Who
knows, my Giant Worms might outflank you.. I will surely laugh when I have
set your Capital in Flames..

Sorry, the game caught me right in the middle of a chemistry mid-term
and school dance (spent a whole afternoon looking for a damn Peter Pan
costume, the girlfriend wanted to see me in tights :) )


Anywho, looks like there's an evil battle brewing. The turns ahead
should be interesting. First off, I'd like to congratulate my ally on a
fantastic strategical capture of the border city. Kick A move! 


To the Atheletes, I will take you up on your offer to trade for the
city of Berlin. This is a fair trade, and my people thank you for your
graciousness.


Optimus Prime started the turn by visiting a stronghold and adding 2490
gold to the Organizers coffers. An allied archon and giant bat went on
to capture the city of Melbourne, while a dwarven unit captured Los
Angeles. Megatron was ordered to the southern ruin to capture the +2
command item located there. Elephants were ordered to commence building
in Mexico City, Archers in Melbourne, and spiders in Los Angeles. It
seems all of the fun stuff is going to happen in the coming turns!

Hips to all!

        BEACH PARTY! Everyone to the beach!

But first, the stats at beginning: 8 cities, 293 gb (+180/45). Artemis at:
11; Apollon at: 6

Artemis enters the Blue city of Seoul without combat (Spider production
pillaged for 350 gb + 2 gb from looting) and decides that this day must be
feasted with big BEACH PARTIES... so she goes to the beach with her Wizard
and a few beers etc... So do the Dragon and a griffin (strange mates,
aren't they?). The second Wizard crushes a blue spider who was threatening
to be unpleasant for the party (near Sydney; report below); after which he
goes to another beach to organize a little party on his own... Other troops
were a bit afraid of the water (polluted?) and preferred to just enjoy the
sight.

However, Apollon was to busy today to join the party the beaches: first, he
run to the most famous and infamed bar of Princeton, where he got the pole
of Blub-ka after avoiding a drug test (something Athletes are sometimes
afraid of...). No time to listen to Bob H.'s stories this time (Apo has *of
course* already read all of them at the wonderful
http://www.princeton.edu/~rfheeter/w2faq.html - hope I'll get a little
prize for this...), as Apo already jumps to his next destination (I *like*
the idea of a fully armed warrior jumping through the countryside... hop...
hop... hop...): he desecrates a certain Irwin's vault, where he finds 2433
gb (only ONE revert needed! Yahoooo!), after nearly being killed by a
terrorist bomb. About this: an enquiry has been opened, but the justice
department won't comment for the time being; however, some newspapers speak
of a letter to be sent to the Ununited Nations of Warlords to denounce this
treacherous attack and ask that Green be declared a terrorist nation....

In other news, the neutral city of London has offered itself to one of our
Wolvies, with a gold statue of a scout, worth only 175 gb (I don't like
modern art...).

Some shopping made:
Prod. of Bats purchased in Mt. Everest - 160 gb
Prod. of Griffins purchased in Mt. Everest - 1700 gb
Prod. of Spiders purchased in London - 700 gb
Prod. of Wolfriders purchased in Rome - 450 gb

Stats at the end:
Cities: 10;
Money (after some fighting with my accounts):
                293
(Seoul)      +  352
(London)     +  175
(Vault)      +2,433     (subtotal: 3253)
             -  160
             -1,700
             -  700
             -  450     (subtotal: -3010)
             ------
                243 gb
Balance: +220/-74
Exp.:
Artemis: 13 (+ 2); Apollon: 12 (+ 6).

Diplomacy:
To Optimus Primus: Berlin is yours. I'm quite happy that you're still with
us, after passing some time yesterday to wondering what I would do with a
passive defense on my flank... it was quite desperating! What was your
girlfriend's costume, BTW?
To the deVaulted Green: Hi.
To Smurfie:
>I have noticed that you like your dear Griffins and invite you to bring
>them South, I am sure they need to get their wings clipped and besides.
>Although perhaps you shouldn't empty your dear kingdom of troops.. Who
>knows, my Giant Worms might outflank you.. I will surely laugh when I have
>set your Capital in Flames..
You'll have asked for it... We'll see which Capital will burn first! But
your Giant Worms are welcome... I'll offer them a drink... in their
Walhalla!

Enjoy my mistakes!

Dionysos.

Hi folks I just wanted to keep up the fast pace (had it done last night =
but just wanted to sleep on ot and double check everything) Ryan sorry to =
hear about your chemistry mid-term, I am glad that stuff is behind be. =
What type of chemistry, I had all kinds, I have a B.S. Chemical =
Engineering, I hated P-Chem, had to take 3 semesters of it.

Anyways back to the game, 

Actual first Blood was taken this turn as some units were buried this =
fine day.

The Green side starts with;

11 Cities,
356 Gold
Duke of Death starts with 13 experience points
Earl of Evil starts with 6 experience points

Sire, Sire a messenager arrives with news of troop movements from the =
North and East. Let me see those dispatches yells the Duke.

Ah good I see our ally to our east has stolen the gold from the city of =
Munich, but he has lost the valable border city of Seoul and the other =
border city is not even defended, lets send him a  messenager and ask him =
of his plans, my spys tell me that the Orange forces are moving south =
agaist him, taking advantage of the flying allies they have. Becareful we =
both need to be strong in the south to win the war against the evil =
North.

End of Message

As the Duke prepares to break camp, the Earl in the south has gotten off =
to a much faster start, and is marching east towards the ruins at Dashort =
Pit, the Earl arrives and finds the Jump of Lewis, next the Earl heads =
Northwest to the stronghold at Max Manner where 2494 gold is recovered. =
The Earl sends word of the money to the Duke.

In the Center a Unit of Devils and a Unit of Wolfriders attack the =
neutral city of Atlanta, which was defended by a unit of  Griffins, the =
Devil survives but the unit of Wolfriders dies, 850 gold is found.

In the East The Duke finially arrives in the border city of Montreal, as =
soon as he enters the city gates a messenager arrives and informs the =
Duke of the evil white forces holding  Mexico City, a Demon, a Ghost and =
2 units of Dwarfs, is that all, they are no match for me, quick how many =
forces can we muster to attack that foul city, the Duke in informed that =
he can attack the city with a Dragon, 2 units of Elementals and a Spider, =
Ah that will be more than enough, infact, do not bother the Elemental at =
the city of Moscow yet.

So the Duke and a Dragon, and A Elemental and a Spider head northeast up =
the road to Mexico City, the Battles is long and furious, but when the =
battle is completed the Duke and the Dragon are the only ones left =
standing, the city folk only offer up one gold in tribute, the Duke is =
not satisfied and orders the Dragon to pillage the city he returns with =
another 750 gold, ah much better. (Not a bad trade I did lose a Elemental =
but White loses that important Demon and Ghost)

The Duke settles in to his new city and orders additional armies to be =
sent to Mexico City, I am sure the evil white armies will try to take it =
back.

Message to Orange - Hello

Message to White - Yes you were correct, the next few turns will be very =
interesting.

Message to Blue - Lets put those Blessed Giant Worms to good use !

"My Lord, the Glorious Giant Worms are ready to attack our Evil Enemy
now!"
"Good! Make sure they are positioning themselves to be ready to join
forces with our Main Army!"
"Yes! Our Scouts report that Forces everywhere are joining our Course to
free the World of Evil. The Main Camp right here inside the City Walls
have grown since only yesterday and I suggest that you inspect the troops
first thing in the morning to inspire them to achive their very best!"
"Hmm.. that sounds promising.. Perhaps the time to go on the offensive has
come again.. Last report said that the Enemy still only have his little
Birds flopping around out of reach over the Seas.. But maybe he will make
a mistake and we will be able to counterattack. His weak Forces are no
match for the Powers of the Blue Side! I am sure we will still be
victorious!!"

To Optimus: condolences for the loss of your Demon... Don't give up and let
him pay for it... But for the time being, may I suggest that you be sure
not to lose your Hero, and be aware of the quickness of Green's Elemental?
At first sight, you could place your dwarves in places where they can stop
or slow it (cutting the roads near the mountains?). But I am sure you are
already thinking about this; I just don't want to find an Elemental in my
backyard next week or so...
To try to boost up your mood, if needed: learn that this will be a hard
time for the Smurfs! (if I'm not mistaken, of course)

To Lord Elricus: [first, in the "real world", get well!]
>come again.. Last report said that the Enemy still only have his little
>Birds flopping around out of reach over the Seas.. But maybe he will make

What do birds eat? Worms, and sometimes also spiders... You shouldn't have
used this comparison. :) Well, of course, your Worms are out of range this
turn, and I'm used to make mistakes... See you on the field...

To my Glorious Ally: I may have lost my demon, but I sure hope I'm not
stupid enough to lose my hero! Thanks for the tip on the elemental
though!


Optimus Prime's armies went on the defensive this turn, shutting down
all access to the inner cities and preparing for the destruction of the
Reporters next turn. Optimus Prime did however visit a stronghold and
he pilfered 2410 gold from the pot hole in attendance.

Hips to all!

        What a schedule! I have to play this turn now to help the game
moving (and because I was ready), after giving a good lesson of just
released Myth-ology to a student of ours (my record is 4-0 tonight, and
this game is great... too!). Well, let's move on, 'cause I should work "a
bit" too...

Stats at beg.
10 cities, 389 gb (+220/-89). Art.'s exp.: 13; Ap.'s exp.: 12.

The quote of the day:
"These blue spiders are delicious. But I'm not sure of the dwarve sauce"
                                                        The birds.

You have understood: this was the first bloody turn on the East... No time
for much fun, so there it is

- Battle in Sydney: Artemis, her Wizard and a poor Light Cav (which dies)
attack the blue garrison (2 spiders, 2 dwarves). City is taken (+ 1 gb) and
pillaged (spiders: + 350 gb).

The Dragon takes (+ 1 gb) and pillages Lake Placid (+ 350 gb: Spiders).

- In other news: the population of two other blue cities, after having
thrown away their garrison (rumored to be only Earth Worms) at the end of
last turn, open their doors to the orange troops:
Munich is taken (for 1 gb) by a Wolfrider, and Dublin is taken (also for a
poor little 1 gb) by a Devil.

- All this money has been used, among others to prove that I don't want the
disparition of all spiders:
Prod. of spiders bought in Seoul (- 700 gb)
Prod. of L.Inf. bought in Munich and Dublin (2x - 160 gb).

Stats at the end:
Cities: 14 (yahoooo!)
Gold: 75 (Ouchhhhhh!)
Balance: +300/-70 (that's better)
Experience: Apollon is still at 12, but Artemis is at 15 - I'm thinking of
giving her the title of Protecting Divinity of the Amazons... more next
turn...).

Diplomacy:
To Optimus: courage...
To Dux Mortis ("Duke of Death" in a strange language): congratulation for
your promotion...
To Lordus Elricus: have a nice weekend...

Hope I didn't forget anything... Enjoy my mistakes... and for those of you
also interested in Myth-ology, enjoy the romantic sound of Wights exploding
on the side of an enemy column...

Dionysos.

Message to White;

Nice try, trying to block the road, but it did not work, 

Message to Orange;

Hey are we surpose to give other players advice, I was not happy that you =
steped in to try to advise White, I know you and white are allies, but I =
thought each player was surpose to fight their own battles (but since the =
advice did not work out no real harm done).

I was also surprized that you put your wolfrider in the city of Munich =
and did not tell me of your intections, I saw that the way you were =
vectoring troops there that you planned on keeping it, Since I had units =
in the area who could retake the city (with no loses) I thought you =
should have at least sent a messenager to my camp we might have been able =
to work something out, now the city is mine.

I do not want to start full scale war with you since I am very busy with =
White and you and Blue are also quite busy. 

To Blue;

Hang in there you did lose two cities but at least blue lost a griffin, =
just make sure you protect those cites againt the Wizard, those Giant =
Worms should be able to start giving Blue a run for his money.

Also now that I am in control of Munich I have access to the backdoor of =
our Northern Foes, I am not sure what I can do, but at the least I will =
be able to divert some their troops for you.

Good luck

To my ally, keep up the glorious victories. I would of course

Again a defensive turn, hope it works better this time.

Hips to all!

Stats at beginning: 11 cities, 238 gb (+240/-133). Exp.: Apollon is 12;
Artemis is 15 and becomes goddess of the Amazons (Level 2, strength 6
etc.).

She would have wanted just a little fight, as a feast for that occasion;
that's why she had set up a little trap for the enemy at Sydney... But when
she awoke... unholy surprise! A whole army was in front of her, led by the
evil himself, Lord Elric (+3 com) and 2 Demons of his...

She led the assault, with whatever troops she could find. It was a huge
fight, and uncertain would have been its issue, hadn't He come... He, our
ally the Devil, arriving from nowhere (or at least from far away). In one
move, he tridented Elric and his 2 Demons and brought them where they
belong... in the Walhalla they sing now, songs to the glory of Dionysos,
god of joy, of drunkenness... and of battles, when needed...

The enemy is vanquished. But Artemis's heart is not full only of joy: the
Devil never came back from the Walhalla, where he is probably singing and
drinking to our victory with his victims; so are a Griffin, who ate too
many dwarves and spider at once, and a spider and a wolf, poisoned by the
unholy blood of the Demons, probably.

So, here is how Sydney was taken (note that no Wizard, nor the Light Inf.
took part in the battle; what they did together at that time is absolutely
private...):

Attacker wins with 1 unit(s) remaining

2 gb looted. The enemy's standard and and a magic belt seized by Artemis
(now +5 com from her items, no less!).


Meanwhile, Apollon (you remember... the jumping warrior... hop...hop...
hop...) jumps over Ivan's Palisade, not even noticing another Terrorist
Bomb left by some foreign secret services. In less than 10 attempts (am I
getting better?), he finds 2459 gb (after a very frustrating 2501 at the
2nd attempt! I HHHate Warlords!). And hop... hop... hop... he is going
again... bearing on his back a Demon and a Wolf... hop... hop... hoops...
he has lost an exhausted Wolf on his way...


Some money spent:
In Dublin, production of Bats (-160) and of Heavy Inf. (-300) purchased;
in Sydney, production of L.Ing. (-160) purchased;
in Sparta, production of Unicors (-1100) purcahsed.


Stats at the end: 12 cities, 979 gb (+260/-105). Artemis's exp. is 17 (+
2); Apollon's is 15 (+3) - another one who will get a promotion...


Diplomacy:

To Primus: Huh... Situation is not really good on your side, is it?
>I realize you have your hands full and I don't expect any.
Yes. I'm happy you are so understanding. I hope you will also understand
that I had to increase defenses on our common border, a bit earlier than
expected, due to what could be Green's next turn(s). It's definitely not
against you: you are my best defense against him!

To Lord Elricus's (ghost)(son)(avatar)(new incarnation) (erase the
incorrect words): sorry. Just did my job. You'll have to pay for the loss
of my devil, of course! Or do I still have weaknesses you can use in your
secret plan? Enjoy my mistakes (and your headaches)!

To Ducky - last but definitely not the least!

>I do not want to start full scale war with you since I am very busy with
>White and you and Blue are also quite busy.

To your first point: I understand and did indeed hesitate to do it, even if
it is allowed (see one of Bob's messages one week ago or so); BUT I didn't
do it to help White, but because I didn't (and don't) want an Elemental in
my backyard - the further he is, the best for me! So, in my mind, I tried
to help myself. Well, whatever, it didn't work, and I'm happy you consider
"no harm done".

Concerning Munich: WHAT?????????????????? :) :( :o :) I told my intentions
to everybody! Perhaps you plaid too quickly and didn't read my discussions
with White about who would take Munich and who would have Berlin? Even if
Blue shamelessly destroyed the production of wonderful Griffins there, it
was clear he would hardly stay. Now, I can tell you the same thing (or
nearly): I was surprized that you put your troops in the city of Munich and
did not tell me of your intections (sic :). When ever did you pretend to
have any right on this city? This was a pure attack, based only on the fact
that you had stronger armies; don't try to hide it under a pretext! Ah yes,
I was planning to keep this city and enjoy a tacit ceasefire with you, and
the troops I was vectoring (1 spider a turn, only!) would have hardly been
enough to defend it against your blessed spiders...

Now, what should I believe, your bad deeds, or your words ("I do not want
to start full scale war", after taking a city and killing an army of
mine!)?

Well, I do agree that we are both quite busy, and that it is our common
interest (oh dear "Realpolitik"!) to find a ceasefire. But there can be no
ceasefire if you are the only one to fix the conditions! Do you think you
are so powerfull???

Happily enough, I could take this turn without taking a decision about
this. Ideally, you should give back to me the city of Munich; I haven't
much hope about it, but to create a minimum of confidence, I ask you:
- to keep only a defensive stack in Munich: a few spiders, NO wolves, nor
anything bigger, of course;
- NOT to take Berlin, even from white: this could be a nice, unproductive
protection between us;
- not to be threatening to my backyard in the north
- to let my Hero Apollon (and the troops with him) visit *MY* temple, to
check how much your troops have desecrated it :)

In conclusion: I want this ceasefire, as you do, but you have to give a bit
of yours to make it possible. I'll look forward to your answer, in the hope
you'll understand what is the common interest of our powerfull nations!

:)

May the Fun Be with You All!

Dionysos.

by "Irwin, Bill" <Irwin.Bill@ndhm06.ndhm.gtegsc.com> to all players;

Hi Guys, with the PC conversion at work it kind of put a spin on things
and slowed me down a bit, but here is my turn report,

I started with;

16 cities;
227 gold

Duke of Death starts turn with 16 experience points
Earl of Evil starts turn with 12 experience points 


Sire we have recieved a messenager from the Great Dionysos.

At long last a message, Ah let me think about it for a while, why I
direct my troops

Elemental attackes the empty white city of Stockholm, the city is
pillaged for 225 gold and looted for another 100 gold.

Earl of Evil finds 2498 gold at a stronghold, (only 3 reverts)

Builds;

Spiders at Innsbruck for 700 gold
Griffins at Squaw Vally for 1700 gold


I ended with;

17 cities;
650 gold
Income of 380 gold
Expenses of 250 gold
Duke of Death end turn with 16 experience points (no change)
Earl of Evil Ends turn with 15 experience points (+3 for turn)

The Duke yells Send for a messenager, take this message to Dionysos.
The message reads

Greeting Dionysos, thank you for sending a messenager to my camp, I know
he must have come from a long way, let me first say that I am happy that
you also want a ceasefire, you talked about me giving a bit, well I have
conceeded on a few issues, but if this is to be a good ceasefire we must
both make amends so we can both move forward.

You wrote about the city of Munich, yes I did read some dispatches about
you and Optimus Prime (White) trying to decied what cites were who's,
but I was never consultanted, by all rights the city would have been
mine if my Orange Ally did not beat me to it, I was prepared to move my
Demon in but his quick Giant Worms Beat me to the punch. I still think
you should have sent me a message once you took the city to tell me of
your plans, espically since no messages were ever exchanged between us
before, but then the same can be sent about me.

You wrote 

<Well, I do agree that we are both quite busy, and that it is our common
<interest (oh dear "Realpolitik"!) to find a ceasefire. But there can be
no
<ceasefire if you are the only one to fix the conditions! Do you think
you
<are so powerfull???

Well I am not aware of any conditions I have set, yes I took Munich,
what did you expect me to do, I had no idea what  your plans were, I am
at war with your ally, and you at at war with my ally, clearly there was
no communication on either of our parts I think we are both guilty.
Again I ask what conditions have I set, the only other thing I can think
of is I have the Temple fortified, again I never saw any type of note
from you or any one else about the temple I am just protecting my self
and my cities like any good warlord would do.

Now as I read the next section of your message;

<Happily enough, I could take this turn without taking a decision about
<this. Ideally, you should give back to me the city of Munich; I haven't
<much hope about it, but to create a minimum of confidence, I ask you:

<- to keep only a defensive stack in Munich: a few spiders, NO wolves,
nor
<anything bigger, of course;
<- NOT to take Berlin, even from white: this could be a nice,
unproductive
<protection between us;
<- not to be threatening to my backyard in the north
<- to let my Hero Apollon (and the troops with him) visit *MY* temple,
to
<check how much your troops have desecrated it :)

Well it looks like you have sent some conditions/requests.

I plan on keeping Munich, but I agree with you to keep only a defensive
force of slow moving Hvy Inf in it., But I would like to reserve the
right in the future to move spiders and other units through the city in
a North-East direction towards White, If I do move any units through the
city they will end their turn on the east side of the hills so as to not
cause you panic.

You asked me not to take the city of Berlin, well I had planed on moving
against it, but I will concede this to you.

Then you asked me not to be threatening to my backyard in the north, I
guess what you mean by this is to keep my fast moving Elemental away,  I
truly wise suggestion on your part, I had other plans for my Elemental
but I again played it conservtively (and agreed to your wishes) and kept
the Elemental where it was. However I would ask the same from you
concerning your flying allies and griffins as to keeping them out of my
back yard.

Lastly you asked about getting your  Hero Apollon blessed (and the
troops with him) visit *MY* temple, to check how much your troops have
desecrated it.

Well I though hard and long over this item, (That is why the turn did
not go out last night) I have agreed to most of your requests but can
not agree to this one, atleast not at this time and I will give you
several reasons,

1. I ran a bunch of warbot calculations and determined that I could not
hold the City of Atlanta and protect the Earl of Evil from your Streghth
9 Hero, Str 8 Demon and Str 5 Wolfrider. Mind you that I am not saying
that you would attack either one, but being a good warlord I had to plan
for the worse case scenairo. I am sure you would do the same in your
place. But I did leave the temple defended in a way that your hero could
attack and defeat my units and get blessed, but of course you would lose
some units in the process as would I.

2. My Orange ally asked me in a previous message to protect the Temple
from the northern forces.

And lastly you wrote;

 <In conclusion: I want this ceasefire, as you do, but you have to give
a bit
<of yours to make it possible. I'll look forward to your answer, in the
hope
<you'll understand what is the common interest of our powerfull nations!

I agree that we both have powerful nations, I have given in to most of
your requests and not to one of the others, I hope you will agree that
this is a good starting point. I also hope that you did not think I
would just say yes to all your requests just as you would not say to all
my requests.

Inclosing I am sure you want to move your flying hero into action, just
as I do, I would not like to play chess with our flying heros, If you
move your hero away from the center and towards the east them I will
move mine towrds the west. Again you move first, so I have to wait to
see what you do and what messages you send. You do have a addition
message you can send at any time if you have any specific questions.

I look forward to reading your responces.

To White:

What a pain in the butt those cancel hero allies are, all those troops I
have in Mexico City and I still could not kill your hero, nice job of
moving the Griffin over I think that made the difference. But I guess
and or hope that time is on my side.

To Orange:

Very sorry to hear about the loss of your hero, maybe you can still
inflict some damange to him and some kind of revenge Good Luck, I am not
sure how much support I can be, but at least I have Orange's attention
as he does mine, he has diverted some of his troops away from you and to
the north, and consequently to prepare for a possible attack from him I
have to start diverting some troops to the south.

Good Luck I hope you have some magic left in your bag.

Just so everyone knows I am now using a PC here at work, so I will more
than likely be a little slower with my turns, but should still make the
2 day turnarounds, just not too many 1 day turnarounds unless I get the
turn over a weekend.
