I think Knights and Cities of Catan > Shogun.

Did you see, they are calling Shogun "Samurai Sword" these days.

Jamski · March 17, 2004, 04:59

How dare they

I suppose they want to capitalise on the success of recent samurai movies.

Probably having a game of Shogun on Saturday, pop over to Germany, and you can join in.

I guess that shows how interested they really were in your survival. In any case, it is the Hive with their actions that broke the cease-fire agreement.

Err... I was pretty sure the Council resolution clearly stated something about just having a ceasefire between PEACE and CPU and that was it.

No mention of Hive anywhere in there... nope.

There were calls for a neutral third-party to oversee the negotiations and it was agreed that Tass could do that by just watching and making sure the messages didn't get messed up in transit. But no mention of peace between Hive and CPU, and thus CPU broke its word.

As far as I know, the Hive is aware of the fact that CPU and the PEACE have agreed to convene peace talk. However we are not notified about the establishment of a ceasefire between the PEACE and the CPU that is contingent upon the Hive's action. While Hive is trying its hardest to root for PEACE's subsistence in this planet, I fail to see how Hive could break a ceasefire between two other factions.

Probably the same way the CP broke area-of-influence laws without such laws ever being discussed. I'm beginning to understand the Hive way of thinking.

The Central Foreign Affairs Subcommittee Bureau of State Information is behind on its processing, you should be receiving the laws in 2 to 3 months time.

Perhaps the Human Hive should conduct some targetted recycling of inefficient bureaucrats? Delays which cause only minor inconvenience to Hive policy-makers have dire repercussions for more minor factions.

I have nothing to add. I just wanted to continue this tradition of quoting the previous poster before making a reply.

You really need to start adding to the conversation like I do, Skanky.

Meta-spam doesn't really constitute adding to a conversation in most circles.
Unfortunately SMAC is one of the few who do. Oh well, carry on then.

This aspect of the cease-fire agreement between CPU and PEACE was also unknown to PEACE at the time of signing.

If this aspect had been made clear to PEACE diplomatic specialists then the agreement would not have been approved as PEACE has never claimed any ability, nor any privilege, to alter Hive policy.

It is, truly, an excellent tradition.

Oh you haven't heard that Jamski's been working frantically for the party's ten children policy again? As for bodies ... Too frantically he worked I'd say.
