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

[Ilios]

Are you going to send cryptic messages to your foes starting ten turns before you attack them?

Hmm, have my esteemed opponents complained about any cryptic message?


Also, why is Amelia building Triremes? Does she fear an invasion of Emperor Pinguins from her south?

She'd be better off with Cultists then if you ask me...

[Ilios]

And I'm attacked again...

[mackoti]

well if you want peace prepare for war....I hope you can overcome.

Well, I was almost done preparing, but the Elves are attacking as well (and no official war declaration...), so I think I'm pretty much done for.
(strange that Uberfish could declare though, I though gifting a resource locked you in an unbreakable 10 turn peace)

It is T144 now, so I'm pretty sure Amelia will be jumping in on T150 as well.

I'll try to give it the best I've got, but I don't think the Malakim will be the winners in this game.

I think the 'gifting unbreakable peace' only comes in SP when you make or acceed to a demand from the AI, I am pretty sure it doesn't do anything in MP as you can't make 'demands' per se.

As is often the case, one can look for posts by T-Hawk to get the right answer:

These lock in the 10 turn unbreakable peace treaty:

• Demanding a resource for nothing, which is then accepted
  
• Similarly gold, demand which is then accepted
  

These do not (both cases where you say "demand" are not really demands, they are voluntary trades) :

• Receiving an offer of a resource for nothing, which you then accept
  
• Demanding a 1:1 trade resource, which is then accepted
  
• Receiving an offer for a 1:1 trade resource, which you then accept
  
• Demanding an inequal trade of say 1:2 resources, which is then accepted
  
• Receiving an offer for an inequal trade of say 1:2 resources, which you then accept
  
• Receiving a gold offer which is accepted
  

[Ilios]

Well, then I don't understand how Uberfish managed to declare war, because he asked for Fruits of Yggdrasil (for nothing), and I accepted.

As TT said, maybe this only works in SP.

[Ilios]

And I looked at the save, and I'm pretty much dead...

[Square Leg]

Hey Ilios,

I know that times must be pretty shitty after putting so much effort into this game - but the peanuts would love to see things from your point of view.

[Mr. Yellow]

Come now Ilios, you're thread's been pretty awesome this far. You can't just end it with a whimper.

Show us now that you can continue this to the end. Prove the world that you are a man!
