[Spoilers] Cometh the Messiah - Varn Gosam and the Malakim

[Ilios]

From Serdoa:

Hi Ilios,

I won't survive much longer as Darrell has moved up to my cap, he probably did see with a Hawk what is pouring in and didn't want to fight against several more troops when he can as easily seperate my civ in two parts when he takes the cap. As I said before I don't see our NAP in place any longer, so feel free to take a bite out of the Clowns before nothing is left.

I'm kind of sad that I won't see how my civ develops as I felt that I finally had a chance to catch up to you guys. Anyway, well played and good luck.

Kind regards,
Serdoa

I don't know what to do...

I have been following your thread very closely, and have been enjoying it immensely.

With that out of the way:

I don't know what to do...

Yes you do.

[mackoti]

If you see nici cities not very good defended why not take an opurtunity to get some nici cities. I know that some nici cities will do a good aquizition to your empire.

If you are worry about anoying thae Calbim well think this way they will have more cities to feed some more wamps so yeah keep them smalle if you can and you are ask that.

It's not that I'm afraid of the Calabim. It just seems kind of gamey to now storm in and grab a couple of Balseraph border cities. Or am I viewing this too strict?

What does Lurkerdom think? (of Serdoa voiding our NAP, letting me invade the Balseraphs)

I'm not talking about the geopolitical fallout, but only the gameplay consequences.

[mackoti]

Its fine by me, and i am realy lurking your thread its a litle bit oportunistic but every war has his oportunist and i think you always wanted the city with those bones.
I dont think is gamey at all, what you need calabim permition to atack someone?
If Serdoa is doing his best and defend those cities , i think this a legit move.Spoils of war !!!!

Or you feel bad winnig some teritory easy?

[Gaspar]

I think its gamey if he's inviting you in, personally. I personally wouldn't think any less of you, and I don't think the community will turn against you or anything that severe, but I still wouldn't do it.

[Ravus Sol]

It's not so gamey to TAKE the cities...

Lots of times states have been "carved up" by powers. The invitation is a bit gamey I guess. In real life those cities would be puppet states or vassals...

I suppose really you could offer him full vassalization to protect some cities, that would happen in real life. But from the sound of it he doesn't want to play out the "game" as some two bit player with no real worth. Is he offering his cities because he would prefer them in YOUR hands or just any hands not vampire?

[Jkaen]

As long as he doesnt abandon the cities and you have to take them properly, then I see no issue with it.

[Ilios]

Alright, thanks for the comments guys. I've made up my mind.

Sciz has posted in Uberfish' thread?

[NobleHelium]

He was drugged and accidentally posted his update in uberfish's thread, which he edited out before anyone saw it.
