How we learned to love the Panzer

[thealien_83]

Yes indeed. A story well told, and a battle ( war, plural actually, but... ) well fought. We mourn the eventual loss of glorious Heffalump, but for a man who had brought such glory and victory to his Empire one can do little but applaud him and his achievments. Perhaps the stars were not to be his, but much wisdom and prosperity resulted from his reign. Long may he remain in the memory of the Germans.

Very, very good story. Keep writing!

I guess I'm the only person who likes diplomacy writings more than war writings, eh? Oh well .

Like I said, keep writing! A joy to read!

 

[Jezner]

Wonderful job!

 

[thealien_83]

Oh no Toasty, not at all. Matter of fact, I like diplomacy over war in any situation. *chuckles* Too bad the little intrigues and plots of a regular Civ 3 game seldom grow into truly byzantine proportions. But oh well, 'tis but a computer controlling them after all.

 

[Heffalump]

Thanks for the compliments folks.

Speaking of diplomatic options, I found myself wishing there were more little easter eggs buried in the game. For example when two civs were both in monarchy and on good terms with one another you might (but only rarely) be allowed to marry the other leader, if of opposing sex, and unite the empires. "marital victory" so to speak.

Anyway i succumbed to wishing such things back before Joan stole Leipzig and was still speaking so prettily and graciously to me.

Dear Heffalump,

Congratulations on your great campaing against the french.

Has a felow panzer general, I would be most honored to read your history in a earth map, with the correct starting locations for your rivals. As we all kwon, the only game of CIV III is the one without reloading.

Panzer rollen Afrika vor!!!!

I loved the story . It was easier to read than others, which is why I read it in t he first place . But it was wonderful, especially the part about the panzers . O yeah, that link from Joespaniel, a must read for us Germans.

Very interesting, at times it felt too real...
Keep up the gaming, love to hear more stories like this.

 

[VegitaU]

Why'd you revive this old story, Gregski? Last post was over a year ago...

 

[puglover]

I sure wish I could write like that!


LONG LIVE THE GERMANS!
