I wouldn't count on it though. All wise cats know that the 4 elements make up everything in the world. I don't see what use Jupiter would have for 'atoms'.

You never know, we could find Fission in a goody hut.

I agree with NYE. We shouldnt go disobeying the gods and talking blasphemous about "atoms". Maybe harnessing the powers of fire and water.. into a single power.. now that might be interesting. I say if we succeed.. we call it.. FATER!

THE CHRONO CROSS!!!!

While a peaceful coexistence with the nations near us would be nice. the sad fact is that due to our starting position the options available to us are the following.
1) Launch an invasion of another nation and try to take one or 2 cities or
2) Try to expand in our area and then build defensive units and cultural buildings
While the 1st options has an element of risk, there is a fair chance of sucess(particularly if we ally with another nation).
The 2nd option could work if we had good land to work with and some buffer between us and our neighbors. however we do not, and any attempt to settler first would lead us to have a few low productions cities in a nation surrounded by other nations that would have a greater production ability(not to mention the ai advantages) per city and more cities on top of that. That option could only lead to defeat. Thus the only real option is #1

Because our only resource is the Holy Banana and we are stuck in a this cursed jungle, we are forced to take over what is rightfully ours - the mountains and fields of France, which the gods obviously granted to us as a substitute for nuclear technology.

Which reminds me, where is our science minister when you need him?

Theseus · June 28, 2002, 02:11

Look, I'd like to settle this thing.

France has:
Decent land
Wines connected
Mountains / hills
A future Sinead O'Connor

America is unkown, but seemingly not as attrative.

We can attack or not... I think we must, or we have no long-term chance.

Just do it.

Ummm... clearing jungle does not yield any shields...
Clearing forest does...

I know! Let's sell our bananas for gold and resources, and use the gold to rush-buy a huge army and tech from other nations.

Only when you think and write at the same time. I try not to mix the two.

If we do not attack, we have a FAR GREATER chance of losing.

Which would you prefer?

Clicking "Quick Start". You?

I have sent my kitty. Hopefully she finds you well. I must run now, only taking 6 votes in the election.... I will meet you in the mountains outside of france. In the package tied onto kitty tail you will find the chocolate (I had to sneak into ubers command tent to find it - hope he doesn't notice it's missing), the nylons (including a coupe of fish net ya ya ya!!!) and the jerkey. Also included are a couple of disposable razors as I have heard that although the french women are, shall we say friendly, thay are also in many cases as hairy as your monkeys because they do not shave their pits. This is just rumor mind you and you will soon know more about this than I do. I must run now. See ya soon.

God speed my friend, and thanks for supplies.

My point exactly. Unfortunately,
we can't sell our bananas, it appears as though we are the only people who value them above gold and just about everything else

On to Paris and victory!

jdjdjd · June 28, 2002, 13:02

Ok, cool, I have managed a promotion to Warlord, on to the French women.

I will report back on my travels once I cross to the Mountian Plains.

jdjdjd · July 1, 2002, 09:08

Oh, and Godking, I only got three votes when I ran for Finance Minister, as an independent (only edged out someone who dropped out of the race by one vote, I had to be sedated, once the sedation wore off the Imperial Guard was after me and those damn pink spider-cricket rats).

GodKing · July 1, 2002, 09:30

No need to worry about the pink rats - all they are after is your hair. Just cut some off and throw it at a coconut tree. They go after the hair, see the coconuts, and in 99 out of a hundred cases they decide they prefer the coconuts. Of the few that come back after you, all you have to remember is that thay taste great with a banana BBQ sauce (you know, the kind with all the wiskey).

At this stage I think we are forced into a war. We need to be extra carefull that we don't have it on more than one front, as the french and americans both started out with 4 wariors and 2 settlers.

Kuciwalker · July 1, 2002, 12:36

Some people seem to have misunderstood me - I wasn't saying we should use nukes to clear the jungle, I was just going on with wishful thinking.
