I am not sure if I understand... If you see Barack Obama knocking your door -- he is American, most likely )) Played by kiwitt. England even made a Permanent Alliance with him, remember?

 

[Nighthawk419]

Umm Bad example I'm American I know who Obama is LoL
Never mind I'll finish what I started as a quick reference.

If you've played enough Civ you'll know the AI has a wicked attitude sometimes, he'll say some pretty ruff things like "Your Head will look real nice on the end of my Spear!"
When a human player says that to another human player, well lets just say you pay it no attention when its from an AI. As a game evolves not only are you gathering game info you are also gaining player personalities and everyone is different, I wouldn't hit you with a dozy unless you were either forewarned or I figured out something of that sort is acceptable. These games give me much enjoyment, it is never a burden and with that you'll find I'll give everyone (almost) an or

I'll either be carrying my Banner right up front or standing at the Helm when she SINKS! When I simply post GPS to .....? consecutively I'm probably plotting something but for whom?

 

[kiwitt]

Made a few in-game diplomacy

Yeah I know, it was meant as a joke

I really think UK-USA Permanent Alliance was a premature decision -- one cannot have more than one alliance and you cannot break it. Meaning USA will never do better than UK Imagine Domination %s if USA merge with, say, China :cough: :cough:

It's December, 2010 at the United Nations. The name plates for Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Indonesia, Egypt, Libya and Mali have been removed and the seats are empty. However there is a new delegate roaming the halls. A mysterious bearded man with his face and head covered in towels. He does not speak or associate with any of the other delegates. He takes his new seat, behind a name plate saying "Muslim Confederacy" and nothing else. There is no name for this delegate. Mr. Putin is running the delegation and turns his attention to his new guest...

Mr. Putin: "I would like to recognize the new delegate from the Muslim Confederacy. Do you have a name sir?"

The man cracks his towel enough to reveal his lips and speak.

"Thank you Mr. Putin for your recognition of the new Muslim Confederacy. It surely will give legitimacy to us for those who choose not to recognize our new leadership. We would like to congratulate you on your victory. The Confederacy's vote went a long way to assuring your victory and we hope you will recognize this fact going forward.

The Confederacy continues to quell the revolts and rebel uprising seen throughout our lands. We are happy to announce that the rebels in what was formerly Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Indonesia have seen the error of their ways and have agreed to join the Confederacy to support our cause. The revolutionaries in northern Africa continue to cause us problems, however military police has been sent to the area and we expect this problem will be resolved in the coming months.

Confederacy leadership continues to be puzzled by the ongoing American occupation of Iraq. As stated in the past, our new leaders are of the belief that local politics should be dealt with by locals, without the interference of those in the west who do not understand our culture and beliefs. However even more maddening is the lack of a formal response from Mr. Obama on this matter. All other nations with troops in the area have at least recognized the legitimacy of the Confederacy and have begun pulling out of the area out of respect for our wishes. The Americans have given no response and show absolutely no signs of even beginning the process of withdrawing troops. We understand that transports may not be readily available to send your men home, however I don't think a formal response to our request is hard to put together. That would at least show us that you are considering our position. As it stands now, we have no reason to believe the Americans are taking us seriously and have to assume they are balking at our request in order to suppress the overwhelming Muslim influence in Iraq and Israel.

Therefore we would consider this a formal warning to the Americans and anyone who would stand in their corner. Remove your troops from the area, now. This is no longer a request, this is a demand. You have two months from now to begin the process of removing yourselves from the area. If we see no action, nor any response, from Mr. Obama in this timeframe, we will consider it an act of aggression against the Confederacy. We tried to give you a chance to peacefully withdraw your troops, but now as far as we are concerned, you can march your men through Europe and pick them up elsewhere.

We would also like to send a warning to anyone who would consider themselves allies, vassals or connected in any way with the Americans. End your treaties and don't otherwise associate yourselves with the interfering dogs of the west, or you may find yourself mixed up in politics that you don't want to be a part of. The Americans have done nothing but cause problems for the countries of the middle east, and while their public stance may be to spread freedom and democracy in the area, we fully believe their meddling is only to ensure their own access to our valuable oil reserves.

We will be watching. Consider yourselves warned."

With that, the mysterious delegate of the Muslim Confederacy turns and leaves the United Nations.

I hope the new Confederacy leader is not this guy

Chinese don't like wild capitalism! So they have developed a new concept... communist capitalism!

Meanwhile in the new election for the UN... Luthor Han votes... for the wise and modest leader of China! Oh, it's himself! What a coincidence!

Then he wakes up and realizes it's all a dream! Time for a reality check...

.

 

[Eclipse4449]

In order for the world not be completely dominated by wild capitalism, the Chinese and the Russian leaders have, after long negotiations, decided to make a long lasting alliance! Let the future communist capitalism prosper!

Meanwhile in the new election for the UN... Luthor Han votes... for the wise and modest leader of China! Oh, it's himself! What a coincidence!

Long ago I found a link(video) that would suit this subject pecfectly!!!, but with all this PC swapping etc I have lost track of it. One thing is for certain whether good or bad, your views on Government I would guess will envelope your area.
A quote directly from E. Clipse was once written. "My Grass is green, it will stay green for as long as I like, do not consider it, think it should be Red for if you impose, yours will".(period)

 

[Tigranes]

Apparently, there was a mishap in playing the same November save when we all are expecting January saves. We will wait for kiwitt to sort things out.

 

[kiwitt]

oops January on the way

 

[Luthor_Saxburg]

Luthor Han, the recently elected Chinese leader, has woken up of his strange dream and realizes he did not get elected to be the UN Chairman.

While still in is breakfast his military advisor says that Iranian troops are in Chinese soil! So he rallies the Chinese army and heads towards this fierce army...

 

[Tigranes]

Wow, Iranians made it so far as China already? Interesting twist, test games never produced this. Everything is different with humans.

Got the file will play later today...

Spoiler :

On New 2011 Year's day January 1st a handsome fellow with the code-name Foshaug the Deceiver was standing near Berlin. He was the first Great Person born in Russia since October 2010. His place of birth, Moscow, was starved from size 22 to size 19 just to inspire his genius. The entire population of Russian capital was hired as specialists to give birth to any Great Person. Russia needed a Great Person to start great reforms without the risk of slipping into Anarchy. It was very symbolic that out of possible Great Artists or Great Engineers Russian capital produced a Spy. Vladimir Putin, being a Great Spy himself was especially pleased with the event.

Of course the brilliant mind of "Foshaug" was immediately put into action. Russian government switched from Emancipation to Serfdom and from Representation to Universal Suffrage at the same time! Now Russian government can rush anything they want to be built, produced or trained while workers will modernize countryside much faster! And none of the Russians even protested! Instead they all started to work more productive enjoying the golden age for the next 16 months (marathon speed, remember?).

 

[Eclipse4449]

Oh no another Great Spy!
Why is Foshaug the Deceiver standing near Berlin?

How do you do your Art/pics/screenshots? Paint?
I use paint but I reduce pics to 66% usually for those how still have non-widesreen displays

 

[Tigranes]

Many times I don't use paint --just uploading a screen shot. Perhaps I should use spoilers to be both as sensitive as you and as lazy as myself
Why next to Berlin? Well if we take his picture in Moscow the whole Internet would see what we got in Moscow. He is a Great Spy, remember? This way he can at least make you nervous. Germany didn't vote for Putin and that was dully noted in certain Russian circles.

 

[Eclipse4449]

@Tigranes sometimes I ask questions like that to find new ways to do things, I wasn't trying to be annoying

The English believe in the Germans right to "Abstain". Germany asks that you'll overlook this, they did not vote against you, they Abstained as you well can see. They are a bit closer to you geographically and just didn't feel as the English and French voters. Besides it may have been as simple as a language barrier.
Germany will support your leadership as the UN Leader and congratulates your Victory
Beifall!!!

PS We like that you think we are sensitive

 

[Tigranes]

That French culture is just choking Germany... Hamburg must be starving .. together with EU capital. On the modding side I am really curious what is the most natural way to preserve the initial cultural borders. One can imagine that "cultural borders" does not mean actual country borders, but rather preference of the population of the given plot to do business with the country who has a dominating culture. But if you want to recreate modern borders using culture things can get very unstable. Small difference in cultures generated by Toronto and New York, for example is enough for South Canada to "do business" with America. Even though I have pre-placed Settled Great Artist in Toronto and Ottawa it makes very little difference compared with the original situation created by Barbarian King

P.S.

Apart from Russian, Putin speaks fluent German. His family used to speak German at home as well.[301] After becoming President he was reported to be taking English lessons and could be seen conversing directly with Bush and native speakers of English in informal situations, but he continues to use interpreters for formal talks.

Eliminate all culture generation. Make all starting culture = actual city population / 1,000

 

[Tigranes]

That's how it is done in WWII scenario. It feels a little drastic and makes one important concept useless. But it is better than to see Afghanistan choking Pakistan, or Taiwan -- mainland China...
