Greeting,

Your Messenger got his information wrong.
Do not threaten without just cause. My interests are in Italy!!!
German settlers will continue toward Italy.
We have a deal also that you have not yet paid.
You were also given leave to cross the length of
Germany, without a RoP & without Germans given
leave to your territory.

My Christian Word is to God's Ear.
No ing

So this mistake doesn't happen again. I'm sending a
offical Peace Treaty. It will last for 20 years.

QUOTE]King Blaze_Injun, we have spoke. Will you hold true your word, "not interested in the Danube Valley but Greece instead" or was that merely words without meaning. I have sent Romanos I to VP in the East, I can easily turn them back toward you, he hungers for War. The German Citizen of the Danube Valley the spreading of Christianity is all fine, but no futher. My people need room to stretch their legs and the Danube Valley is thiers to do it in. I know what you must be thinking now but if I see that Settler not in German territory he is dead. And War has begun. It is simple really as Leo VI told you it is still true I have a different agenda "Kievan Rus" but you could be put right at the top of it.

Here is the Message sent to you.

In the Year of Our Lord 921 AD.
Greetings from the Christian King Louis the German,

It is enjoyable to have you visit our fair town of Nuremburg.
Prehap you seek Iron for weapons? There are 3 sources nearby.
But I'm sure you know of 2 of them. A right of passage? No
need for one here in the German lands. I would be more then
happy to show you the war torn lands to the north.

But I tease the great byzantium king. I have no wish to settle any
farther south. I need lands in Italy. To sail to the Holy Land.

Gasp Greece, Italy That messenger will be dealt with. Alexander! send your fastest rider to stop Romanos I in the East make haste and do not fail.
Italy is it? That unescorted settler need not fear death if he is traveling West to Italy, and as I said I have no trouble or dislike for you Christians, I have heard word of your battles, you should not worry of battling Romanos I too.
What of this debt I have not paid? Nuremberg was settled under my Swords feet and a RoP threw Germany is not of my interest, I Command the Mediterranean Sea and the Danube Valley. If it is the Holy Land you seek you must deal with me.
Peace treaty is not needed nor would it be honored, I am not threatening without just cause. The Danube Valley is and will be Byzantine territory at any cost.

But I tease the great byzantium king. I have no wish to settle any
farther south. I need lands in Italy. To sail to the Holy Land.

Assemble 2 of your workers, build a road south into my valley toward one of my cities any path you like. Consider this a Tribute your workers will be well cared for, once they arrive in my city have each of them complete a task of my choosing, when done they are free and tribute paid. I know what your thinking I'm not paying tribute. This Tribute does not pay for access to the Holy Lands, it merely allows you an edge over the others. Hmmm You have to go threw me by Land or Sea and that would be tough, and if you could do it the Abbasids will not be an easy objective, Word has spread of your Crusade to the Holy Land and surley they are preparing!
It is not Germany I wish to plunder it is anyone who nears the Kings Of Byzantine

Hey,

You know if you have used a title before in a post or PM it comes back.
Yes? Well the title of this post is from a PM.

The German settler will as we head for sunny Italy.

What of this debt I have not paid?

So soon you forget that Christian Germany has given knowledge
to your great Byzantine Empire. That was done in good faith.
For future knowledge.

Nuremberg was settled under my Swords feet and a RoP threw Germany is not of my interest, I Command the Mediterranean Sea and the Danube Valley. If it is the Holy Land you seek you must deal with me.

Nuremberg was founded 3 leagues from the German border. I think
not to far south for the mighty Byzantines to worry about. Germany
had also explored the area before well before you stepped foot on
the land. It was built to be a peaceful trade city.

Peace treaty is not needed nor would it be honored, I am not threatening without just cause. The Danube Valley is and will be Byzantine territory at any cost.

I have no claims to the Danube nor do I wish to.

The Grail Must Be Returned!!!

A Tribute from Germany. Build a invasion road for your troops to
my Arse. If thats a edge over the other nations...

No Thank You!!.

I can sail to the Holy Land.

Spoiler :

The North Afrikan coastline will do.

(If any other of you look you'll go to hell. Damn your all pagans anyway. Hell is waiting already)

I have little time for petty arguements over your ambitions.
The godless pagan animals have the Holy Grail. And Germany
will see it returned to Christian Hands. Be it German or French.
Therefore send a map of your claims & Germany will stay far away.

Remember Germany cares not for land or wealth but...

Louis The German

[soul_warrior]

it saddens the franks that the busybodies do not like our germanic brothers.

we, God's beloved peoples seek NO conflict with other nations.
we ONLY WANT WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY OURS. (eg - the grail)
and its deleverance home:

the franks, though lacking knowledge of the lands in dispute, believe a peaceful solution can be found.
no need to strong arm our nations.

we are pious, and seek only what our God demands of us

remember that even though we are peaceful at heart, we have been defending the faith for many years, and have many veteran guilds.

2nd Crusade Moves Toward Bremen.

[adyyc]

King Harald has 11 bersekers in the area (including the Holy Grail Berseker) and other various units. All his men are ready to fight to the death.
The crusade will be a total failure.

@ Blaze

Hey,

Word has reached Louis the German that the Vikings offer
peace.

No Holy Grail. No Peace.


Blaze Injun

 

[soul_warrior]

maybe the superior Frankish wit can make it more subtle:

No Piece. No Peace.

***i think i got the save.
i also think i deleted it by mistake as it dropped into my spam box.
if so, please resend it to me

 

[Blaze Injun]

Hey,

Blaze Injun

It is on my word that knowledge is a debt I will make good on, but I believe nothing is available threw Diplomacy yet.

I did something bad to C3C that turned out to be Amazingly great! I can only remember moving Twilight of the Byzantines mod folder to the Conquest sub folder. But I have a new Civ3 sound track that is absolutely amazing, Big orchestral pieces to Jethro Tull many many more great tunes, but none of the original sounds(music) what a refreshing way to play!!!!!
