High TalkPosted by Madan Mitra Fri, January 30, 2009 16:36:00Dear All,
Here are the first turns Attacks and Moves...enjoy the background to the battles
Madan
Sarmatia
In Sarmatia there is a King, of a land called Ning, it was also very unfortunate that his name was Ching. Now this chap really hated being called the King Ching of Ning. One day after gutting another warrior who sniggered behind his back he decided enough was enough! The little chip on his shoulder said “the only thing to do was to become an Emperor! Scythia, that’s a cool name”…So…
Gaul
King WallyEam spoke to his most trusted advisors “I think Anglia is ripe for the plucking hee honh?” to which they all replied "Hoorah Hee Honh!" rather loudly. However, there was one voice belonging to Duke Duky that said "its a Bad Idea as a new King is now ruling Anglia and he looks a bit tasty hee Honh". King WallyEam thought about this and said "those wimps in Varangia look soft and ripe for the plucking"…So…
Rome
Caesar Flagalaetus Bottomus put down his paddle and looked out from his balcony, there in the distance on this clear day he could just make out the dim outline of the pretty little island of Corsica. It reminded him of something his botomist had said regarding a cane-like plant that’s found nowhere else and it had a rather pleasant twinging noise when moved through the air rapidly…So…
Atlantis
Emperor Minge- “Clitus I’m Bored”
Clitus - “well, the Carthaginians are laughing at you”
Emperor Minge- “Are they, why?”
Clitus - “they’ve nicked half our name, called it Atlas & making Lppprrr noises at us”
Emperor Minge- “Atlas? Sounds greek to me, assemble the armies!”
…So…
Carthage
King Hadital was in his garden “what a beautiful day, the sun is out, the people are happy, I got 'some' last night, its Good to be the King!” Just then a General arrived with a message. “Your majesty, we have the King form Atalantis & the Pharoh from Egypt and they have just reached our borders”. “wonderful” exclaimed the King “we’ll have a party!”. To which the General replied “err, they bought their armies”…Oh…
Babylon & Assyria
Babylon- “We need more room for the peasants they’re REVOLTING”
Assyria- “We need more room for the peasants they’re REVOLTING”
Babylon- “Lets not antagonise our Northerners, it upsets them”.
Assyria- ““Lets not antagonise our Southerners, it upsets them”.
Babylon- “The Nile stinks”
Assyria- “Sarmatia stinks”
Babylon- Assyria “ANATOLIA IS NICE THIS TIME OF YEAR!”…So…
Anglia
Arthur- “That
island, Atlantis”
General- “yes your Majesty?”
Arthur- “you know that its really called Avalon,
our mystical ancestral home”
General- "is it, and so?”
Arthur- “yes, and 'so' indeed!”
…So…
Egypt
Pharaoh Notfartiti woke up, stood and stretched on his royal balcony then took a deep deep breath of the fresh Nile air…then turned a peculiar shade of blue as he realised that he had just taken a deep deep breath of the fresh Nile air…and it stank! Just then he heard a banshee like waling and reached for his sword ready to defend himself…realised it was just his wife Ashmuk’u’r and groaned “I need to get out of here”…So…
Thracia
The Mighty Macedonian army from Thracia crossed over in a lightning attack into Dalmatia, future historians would marvel at the speed, logistics and the devastating force of this conquest, they would not however note what King Takamia Houstonos was heard to say “why have the people not got black spots all over them?...”
Results
Carthage to defend against Atlantian & Egyptian armies.
Babylon & Assyria to battle for Anatolia
Anglia takes Hesparidia
Gaul takes Varangia
Roma takes Corsica
Sarmatia takes Scythia
Thracia takes Dalmatia
Other results will follow after battles…this may take some time as people need to get used to a few battles before committing to a campaign battle.
