Into The Future

[Heerlo]

I enjoyed reading that. As I mentioned elsewhere, I am working back into the game and it is things like this that make me remember great times with it!

Thanks. Next update should be comin' pretty soon.

Been a while since we've seen an update. Everything ok?

Yeah, everything's fine. I just didn't get around to doin' it as soon as I thought.

It should come pretty soon, though.

Don't you just love Oda?

Don't you just love Oda?

The US is not just crazy about him, that's for sure. We've never fought him, and he may have been our ally in times past, but we know the nature of the Communist system, and we have seen how he can be aggressive.

If he knows any bit how to pull off any sort of inter-continental invasion, he could be as dangerous as the Ottomans.

A (probably) small update coming in a little bit. I'm hoping for a bigger update soon, but I haven't played far enough yet into this war to make a good, long update like I would like, because the turns take so long.

Spoiler :

Foreign reactions to America's war against the Ottomans were mixed. Some foreign leaders thought the US was doing the right thing in helping the Songhai and Russia and attempting to defeat Turkish tyranny. Others thought the United States should only liberate Russian and Songhai lands and only defend it's borders from the Ottomans. And yet some foreign leaders opposed the war altogether, claiming that the US was a menace to the civilized world. Strangely enough, one of the nations most upset about the war was the newly re-formed Iriquois state.

A while after the war began, the Iriquois monarch requested to meet with the President. He minced no words, denouncing the American declaration of war, and referring to the President as an "uncivilized brute".

Spoiler :

The now-island nation of China was also with the Iriquois in believing the US to be a menace to the world.

But the United States was not without it's supporters. Persia, although small, supported the United States in denouncing the Ottomans.

Japan seemed neutral in their opinion of the war, and the United States' relations with them stayed about as good as they could be with a communist nation. And Japan continued to trade with the US.

France did not seem to oppose the war either. They continued trading with the United States, and even allowed an American general to pass through their land in order to more quickly get to the northern front.

The Aztecs, however, were a different matter. They did not seem to openly oppose the war, but relations with them remained strained.

Spoiler :

And in January of 2130, the treaty ending the Aztec-American war expired. This was slightly worrying, and the US considered how possibly easy it might be for the Ottomans to convince the Aztecs to join the war on their side, since they had lost so much land to America during the war. But only time would tell....

the aztecs are weak though. you can kill them.

 

[smallfish]

Both the Aztecs and the Iroquois are Guarded, but that might just mean they're warming up for a sneak attack

Especially 'em Iroquois. I hear they hate the name "New York" too

Great thread, just read through the whole thing (over a couple of days) and loved it. Keep up the good work, and hopefully you can survive the Ottomans!

 

[Heerlo]

It would be pretty hard for them to get to New York, even if they don't like it.

i am starting a diety game, wish me luck!

Ah, thanks. I didn't even notice your post until now because I posted at almost the exact time you did and didn't see yours.

Glad you like the story.

Good luck, Mike!

Don't look at me. I'm nowhere close to a deity player.

 

[MikeIII the 2nd]

wheres smallfish?

 

[Heerlo]

wheres smallfish?

I guess he's around somewhere, or probably will be.

 

[smallfish]

He is here. What's up?

ah, Mikey. There be other well-played folks who could advise thou for this but since you are asking me - I would advise you to head for composite bowmen as soon as possible. Gotta have 5 of them at least by Turn 50, and gotta finish your NC before T80s

Trade with everyone as fast as possible for upgrade cash, no need to do lump sum DOW and not that you'll want to do that with those aggressive neighbors

 

[Thewholeworld]

I think it would be a pretty big jump from Immortal to Diety considering what I heard elsewhere on this forum.

I'm a mostly prince player. This is all Waaaay above my head.
