From my last game:
Cleo: I really don't know how you were so worthless, and yet were still able to complete both the Great Wall AND the Colossus. Oh well -- mine now. BTW my knights enjoyed playing with your swordmen and spearmen. Well... just spearmen once the city with your source of iron became mine. Oh and thanks for letting my Musketeer win and trigger my GA, the timing was beautiful!
Cathy: Our closest city to one another is about twenty jungle and mountain squares apart, I'm half an age ahead of you in techs, and you think I'm going to cave to your threats for Chivalry? HA! I'll let my buddies pound on you a bit, then I'll sweep in once I have cavalry and take the last few cities. Oh and before I forget, thanks for providing the GL that I created the 15hp knight army with that later conquered St. Pete and the Great Lighthouse, even though its already obsolete. I'll add it to my Wonder Collection.
Alex: Hrm, wonder what that stack of knights on my border is up to. Hrm, wonder what that knight the galley just dropped off is up to. Oh, I see. You do realize I have arty, infantry, and cavalry, right? You do realize that your southern and northern neighbors have a good relationship with me, and your eastern Aztec neighbor in the jungle there (who I'm not really that fond of) would even punch himself in the face for 1 gold, right? Nope, guess not. You Die Now. Thanks for my second GL, Hoover takes way too dam long too build without rushing it (haha get it? Too
dam long? I made a funny)
Bizzy: Same as Alex, actually. Are you guys... y'know... um... 'partners' or whatever they call it these days..?
Lizzy: Well, our relationship was pleasant enough until that spot of oil near Essex popped up. Sorry Liz, tanks don't run on sunshine and lollipops, y'know. And really... you had an MPP with Mao, the only guy in the game I don't feel like messing with, I sign an MPP with Mao, declare war on you, and you attack me in my home turf? Just how gullible are you, really?? Just be glad you didn't have any wonders for me to collect, otherwise you wouldn't be here anymore.
Hammi: Don't know what happened buddy, you got off to such a great start, what with the Pyramids and the Oracle both in Babylon city limits. Talked too much trash to the Germans, Greeks, Romans, and Aztec earlier in the game? Have fun being a slave nation for the rest of the game. I'll make sure to grab Babylon from Alex when i get over that way, add those wonders to the collection.
Caesar: Thanks for that RoP but, 15 cities and like, three roads? Whats the matter with you?? Even the dumb Aztec are starting to build rails! What, did you build like three workers so far this game? Just be glad I got to Babylon before Lincoln or I would've had to put that 20hp cavalry and 20hp tank army to use elsewhere,
if you know what I mean.
Monty: Nice little jungle/mountain spread you got there. I usually have you gone by the end of the MA but... meh, not interested. Not worth the trouble this time. You make a nice little buffer from the western powerhouses.
Abe, Mao, Hiawatha: Well, you guys have been pleasant thus far, paying me far too much for such useless techs as economics, medicine and whatever else. Two of you are safe being on the other side of Pan-Francia as I'll likely just end this with a 1600's space-race win. Hiawatha, well... you'd better just hope that spot of oil by Essex doesn't dry up, or sign into any dumb alliances. I may just take you over before you get replaceable parts, anyways. You have some very yummy territory
