State of the land

[bjarkekr]

Years have past, and we have met a good number of other people on this land. Some have been aggresive, and some friendly.

We have felt the need to conquer some of our neighbourgs, as they claimed land with valuable resources we saw as ours. The war went fast and without problems thanks to our brave chariots.

We now live in peace with the people surrounding us, and wish for the peace to continue for a long time. Especially the people to the south have been fair and good for us. We have build roads to their borders and awaits the trade to begin. We have heard they dig some strange thing from the earth which they use for tools and maybe weapons. But I have no doubt that our chariots will defeat weapons made of earth with ease.

Well the peace was short. It seems our neighbough to the north isnt happy with his land and his armies are now invading ours. He also uses the horse as a weapon, allthough he rides it directly instead of in a chariot behind the horse. This strange technique is nothing I have seen before and I hope we can find a way to defeat it.

The strange horsemen tried to attack our capital but was repelled thanks to the river running around the city.

After the return of our emissary from the lands of dokko he could not say that we got the help we requested. We know that the dokko holds the power of bronceworking, and that they have the materials needed, but they refused to even talk to our humble emissary asking for just a tiny bit of the precious bronce. As a result of that we have had the french minority of plopp cause a civil revolt. We hope this will let the dokkos know that you cant just ignore requests of aid from a friend.

<You didn't exactly need our help... Seems like you managed to defend yourself just fine. We needed the bronze to be able to defende ourselves from all the vile barbarians in the world! We thought we were still your friend(and we keep our word!), however we can't compromise national security to help you out when you can perfectly well handle it yourself.>

We hope we can still be friends. Fortunately we have coped with this problem to the north without help from you, but it was close.

<The people of plopp still feel that they got unrightfully wronged though, if you rebuilt the quarry that your infiltrators destroyed they would feel less so...>

[bjarkekr]

Im not sure I can get my citizens to do that. They still feel a lack of support. All they asked for was access to cobber for a few years (1 turn), and they didnt get it. Im sure you could have been without cobber for those years?

But as I say, since it turned out well for my people, we are happy to call it even and return to our previous friendship.

<We are going to keep our deal if that is what you mean, and i expect you to do the same. The way game works it is not possible to borrow something for 1 turn(10 minuimum) and we couldn't be without copper for that long>

[bjarkekr]

We too will keep our deal.

Things would have been a lot different if we had just recieved word from you why you couldnt help, but nothing happened. We knew not why you refused to help.
