Following our peaceful military coup in 1350 AD to oust our king and introduce a representative government, we have renamed many of our cities. The only civilizations that should be aggravated by the temporary confusion are those who want to target our cities for an attack. We see that many other nations have also adopted this form of government, and we are pleased.

We are concerned that the Ottomans recently attacked the mighty Inca without warning or provocation. However, since we accidently intercepted a communique from Inca saying that our old friend and ally may declare war on us, which was followed by some accusations, The Kingdom of Thailand has decided to remain neutral in this conflict until we know more. As a peace loving country, we urge both warring parties to reach a conclusion to the war, before the violence escalates further.
We know that the Ottomans also declared war on the isolated Spanish island. We are still unsure what is going on in the western world, or which nations support which side of this conflict.

King Stinca of Inca:
The Incans concern is the loss of its dominant position as the super power. Having worked very hard as a nation for over 3 millemiums we have a technological edge over the other lesser civilisations. We will not let our positon be usurped and will take decisive action should we see other civilisations getting an equal footing with us.
Having said that we have been very generous in sharing our technology to nations like the Vikings, Thai's and lately the Spanish. Being the tech leader we are concerned though when it appears that our generosity is being abused by other nations. We have a shoot 1st, ask questions later policy which almost resulted in a war. We are not afraid to go to war so each nation knows now not to trifle with King Stinca of the Inca.
As it happens the Ottomans have declared war on us for the reason of - you have too many boats in the area - We know a good number of reasons for declaring war but having too many boats isnt high on the list. For that reason we have retaliated swiftly and decisively by taking an Ottoman city.
For now the war continues. The Ottomans must do some serious begging if they dont want to be crushed under the mighty hand of King Stinca.
King Stinca of the Inca,

(my previous post is missing for some reason however it stated a war existed between Vikings and Ottomans in support of our allies the Incans)
------- The Battle of Madrid --------------
AP. Onboard Reporters.
Today at dawn the Vikings were victorious in the first pitched battle against the Ottomans. Our frigate and theirs shot it out with the citizens of Madrid looking on. Our galleons took refuge in the safe harbour of Madrid during the battle. After several hours of fighting the enemy frigate lost their mast. All of Madrid cheered ! Viking beserkers boarded and took of what little cargo and slit the throats of the remaining sailors who hid on the lower decks like the cowards they are. The ship sunk shortly thereafter. All Hail King WarningU2 and for his wise decision to accompany all galleons with protecting Frigates.

King CTrain of India
Long have the Zulu people impinged on our borders and those of our closest friend Necromonious. Instead of settling along coastal sites in your well defined borders, you chose instead to set up a city close to Necro or I. WELL I HAVE BURNED ONE OF THOSE CITIES. Why do you have no army Whiplash? Why are so many of your cities completely unguarded Whiplash? Why do you lack major coastal cities Whiplash? Whiplash the untrustworthy. Whiplash the double agent. Whiplash the weak. In the past, any action taken by the dominion of India that may have been construed as aggresive has always been met with our fullest explanation and apologies. When my bankroll grew large and you grew scared of my military intentions, rather than subject our countries to a cold war did I not simply give you some money? I did. Now, the breaking point. When I set up my city on the East coast on the other side of your borders, did you not immediately set up a city of your own, quashing my borders? That was the straw that broke the camels back. It made me VERY angry. If your goal was to turn India from a peaceful, educational nation to a warmongerer, you have succeeded. Hinduville will be mine. Some of your cities I will annex. Others I will burn. I AM NOW COMMITTED TO YOUR COMPLETE DESTRUCTION. Nemo me impune lacesset. NO ONE WILL PROVOKE ME WITH IMPUNITY! CTrain remembers, and CTrain is willing to exact vengeance, whatever the cost. To Thailand: I am sorry about our unfortunate circumstances. Though we are officially at war I will never attack you as our recent naval encounter will testify. Aside from that, I hope we can resume our trade and other committments as soon as is reasonably possible. To all others: The continent of Hinduville belongs to the Hindus. I wish no harm to come to the Ottomans and am prepared to take action against all those who continue to pursue aggresive means to destroy Necromonious. He made a mistake and I think he has learned his lesson. Whiplash, however, is dead to me. Let that pacifist snake learn the price of his laughter.
CTrain

Why don't you just call it what it is, a backstab. All of your embelishments are silly.
But I'll address some of your issues anyway. I have little defense near you because I trusted you. I have my units along the southern coast which has been explored by Stin.
You accuse me for encroaching on your borders? That city has been there for about 15 turns. And, you say "Now, the breaking point. When I set up my city on the East coast on the other side of your borders, did you not immediately set up a city of your own, quashing my borders?" Who is encroaching on who? You blocked my coast with a city far from your capitol and deep into my territory.
Congratulations, in one move you have wrecked your reputation and guarenteed the outcome of the game:
1. Stin 2. WarningU2 3. Trieze 4. Conquestador45 5. Ctrain 6-7 Necro - Whiplash
Your post wreaks of arrogance. You now will have to go it alone though you are trying to neutralize Necro and Trieze with your silly assurances. Nobody will trust you.
The alliance suggested just yesterday whould have made the outcome more interesting; but I guess you just have to do your own thing.

Ankara has not disappeared of the map. It will return when it gets out of rebellion. As far as peace goes we are actively pursuing peace with the Ottomans and we are confident that peace will soon be restored to the world.

Hindu Empire
Your worthyness CTrain has made some interesting claims and accusations however I find it odd that you claim a continent when you occupy a small section of it. Your world is well known by us. Your action against our trading partner the Zulus causes us distress and we humbly ask you consider your options more closely. Although the children of Oden have no ill feelings against your Hindu people, any action against us or our allies in our mission to liberate the oppressed people of Ottoman will be viewed with newly opened eyes. In the words of a great leader that will follow from a dream I had (cough spurt and cold sweats), if you are not with us then you are against us. (damn that's clever).

Currently, the Kingdom of Thailand is the only country not at war. Make no mistake: we are not proud of this fact. Thais are peaceful, and do not want to exist in a hostile world. We encourage all nations to achieve compromises that will end the conflicts. inca and Vikings: I have not traded any further techs with the West, as agreed. But if Spain and Zululand are your trading partners, should that embargo not also be lifted for Thailand? I'm confused. We're just hanging out and making babies, as evidenced by our growing cities. We're also making a defensive army, just in case someone wants to bring this terror to our soil. But we are staying out of it, and we have no need to expand beyond the already agreed upon borders. If you do not bother us, we will not bother you.--Prime Minister Colonel_Treize

Before the end of time the Indians will anger all of the planet's nations; perhaps that has already been accomplished. In the greedy quest to own a continent the Indians have broken a peaceful alliance and snuck through the darkness of night to attack and capture peaceful Zulu villages, destroying all of the village infrastructure in the process. All this while another Indian ally is in dire need of assistance during a time of war with an offshore enemy.
Ctrain, the Indian warmonger and traitor to the alliance, should make reparations.

I am sad to report that the Ottomans have now declared war on the Soveriegn Kingdom of Thailand. Prime Minister Necrominous already has three enemies, so why would he want a fourth? It doesn't make any sense. In any case, I doubt that civilization will even survive long enough to send troops to our shores, all the way across the ocean. We certainly don't need to do any more damage to them than has already been done.

Today the Viking nation rejoices at the news our brave expeditionary force of Beserkers have landed on coast of the Ottomans and sacked their remote eastern city. From a report at the front dispatched today by carrier pigeon ...
The Ottoman city's citizens appealed for mercy but we took the mayor and buried him sand up to his neck and celebrated in glee as the sea birds pecked out his eyes. Any of the citizens that protested were made to eat what the birds didn't finish. We then lit fire to the city.
To end the most glorious of days our frigate then attacked and sunk a frigate coming to the city's rescue. We heard the sobs of the women for their menfolk coming from Istanbul
GAME NOTE: Well piss in my beer why don't you. Appears the game decided to do the nasty on me with the reload due to the vassal mistake ... and you guessed it my frigate was not successful this time. Crap !

King Stinca of the Inca is pleased to announce that peace has now been restored to the world. We are sure that our peace loving neighbours, especially the Thais who have been urging peace, will appreciate a period of security and prosperity.
The world map has changed though. The Ottomans have faired worse for declaring war on a number of nations. They have lost a number of strategic cities and also their independence. But now that peace has been restored between Inca, India and the Ottomans we feel sure that this period will continue.
It is an exciting time for our world. The scientists of the world are working hard to invent new technologies. Other parallel worlds use their inventions first in warfare and then find a use for them in civilian life. We feel that this world is more enlightened and advanced. New technology should be put to the use of the general population to improve daily life and governmental systems.
King Stinca of the Inca calls on all his fellow rulers to now enjoy a time of peace and security.

Thailand is most glad that world peace has been achieved. In order to insure that peace, The Kingdom of Thailand has signed defensive pacts with many nations, in anticipation of the backlash from our new tech trading arrangements with other countries. We hope this doesn't spark another war, but we have now researched Democracy, and we believe that the free exchange of technoloiges is a soveriegn right of every nation.
Therefore, we are sad to announce that we have offiicially dissolved the three-way tech trading alliance with Vikings and Inca, which was based on a misunderstanding that Thailand must get permission from its allies to trade tech with other nations.
This is a peaceful protest, but if either nation should declare war on The Kingdom of Thailand, it will be tantamount to declaring war on Spain, India and Zuluand.

The Ministry of Defense announced today that our borders are closed with Thailand. This was decided to be a wise decision in light of the war erupting between Thailand and Incans. We wish to demonstrate our neutrality. Also wandering Thai priests have been asked to leave. Citizens are advised if you see Thai priests that by national decree of the government, the giving of alms to foreign priests is now forbidden. Citizens found doing so will be flogged.
The Ministry of Trade advises that all closing of borders has resulted in the loss of ivory. We're happy to report that this cancellation now upholds the decision of the world court to prohibit ivory trade.
Our citizens have made a northern expedition to an undisclosed location to establish a uranium mine. Nuketon is born but citizens are experiencing strange headaches and ability to see through things. More investigations to follow and will be reported soon
Be Brave. Be Strong. Be Vikings !

1806 AD
Press release by King Stinca of the Inca:
I feel it is time to explain what has been happening in Incaland over the past few centuries. Our last press release advocated peace but many decades have passed and we now find ourselves at war.
The cause of this is difficulties experienced in the homeland which have led to a new foreign policy. For centuries we have been a monarchy led by myself. Its been a benevolent dictatorship (hmm where have I heard that before) which has meant the Incan people have been happy and we have been world leaders in technology.
One of our Scientists came up with the bright idea of a government called democracy which was quickly adopted by my people forcing me to take to the polls to continue my leadership. Fortunately my people love their king and so I was appointed the Prime Minister of Incaland though I prefer my old name of King Stinca of the Inca.
I had to appoint a cabinet of ministers to oversee various departments which I had taken sole control of for centuries. I appointed people I could trust and our policy of peace continued though some in the cabinet wanted war.
The change came when my Minister for Media and Sports sent an errant email to other nations where he got a vital piece if information wrong. He got muddled with the time zones and confused several world leaders. This cast the New Incan Democracy in a bad light so he was removed from office. This led to a reshuffle of the Incan Cabinet and I appointed a Defence Minister called Ronald Dumsfeld.
He was an ally of mine but behind my back he organised a cabinet vote whereby we were forced to go to war with the Thais as we were losing our position of world dominance. This was against my wishes as Prime Minister but I was told Democracy means I have to go along with the majority vote.
As it happens the war has gone well for us. We have captured 2 Thai cities and raised them to the ground. The propaganda war has gone well too. Our new minister of Media and Sports has persuaded a former enemy to join our alliance with the Vikings and Ottomans. King Whiplash and his daughter Miss Whiplash are most welcome to our alliance. We look forward to many years of cooperation with the mighty Zulu's.
As to the future we cannot tell what the future holds. Our Scientists are working hard again after a few years off when the money men took over. Will peace be restored to the world? Will Inca regain its position of world domination? Will it all end in a nuclear holocaust?
King Stinca of the Inca
