That last bit is brilliant... almost as good as rhyming Vox with Pox.

Shiber · April 11, 2003, 10:49

A War Chariot imbued with the power of lightning after striking at the so-called immortal!
Note the smoke still rising from Mo's burnt carcass.

Shiber · April 11, 2003, 10:50

What's that? The immortal was defiling our holy grounds with his stench!
Vox, you will pay for this!

Okay, I admit it, I've been playing with Photoshop too much.

HarryH · April 11, 2003, 11:01

That isn't smoke from his carcass, that is his Immortal spirit. His last words were "I'll be back!"

Eli · April 11, 2003, 11:02

Pfff. Would you stop editing screenshots just to show the world that you have a chance.

Here, this is the real military situation around the obiously suicidal chariot.

Shiber · April 11, 2003, 11:06

Is that a spaceship south of our War Chariot?

Ha ha! Your units are only veterans.

Donegeal · April 11, 2003, 11:34

I think we all have too much time...

Shiber · April 11, 2003, 11:37

Better than staring at the fools' box.

I'll take Donegeal's in-text suggestion though, and go read a good book.

If you'd ever seen Gathering Storm females fight, you would realize exactly how little of an insult that is.

Sounds like more FOX network quality programming.

"When GS Women Fight Dirty" Tonight after The Simpsons.

We probably will see shortly how well they fight, as their men aren't doing too well.

notyoueither · April 11, 2003, 22:53

How Immortal are they Beta? Not very, it seems...

Here's you an alternate avatar, Beta.

To quote my personal hero, the great al-Sahaf: "The Americans are trapped in their tanks".
Also, Saddam and his sons are currently surrounding a large JDAM bomb.

From the Vox Ministry of Information

710BC

There is not much to report this turn. Vox troops continue to advance towards GS territory.

We expect to report more significant events shortly.

Our troops have encountered outlying Storm villages in the mountains. Without exception, the Vox troops have been met with jubilation. The Gathering Storm people talk of an oppressive and un-enlightened central government. They are for the most part an un-cultured and oppressed people. They are welcoming the liberation being brought by the forces of light and might, the forces of Vox Controli.

So our message goes out not only to the world at large, but to the oppressed people of Gathering Storm. This is your opportunity to rise up against the corrupt leaders which rule over you. Help us free you from this evil regime.

We come as liberators, not conquerors.

nbarclay · April 12, 2003, 20:21

Right, like the people of Gathering Storm would even dream of throwing off our enlightened Republic for the kind of despotic horrors you practice. Don't think rumors of the horrors you've practiced in Dissidentville haven't reached our people's ears. Your willingness to whip your people just for a little extra production sends chills down the spine of every Storm citizen who might otherwise even consider joining your cause.

But what should the world expect from the voice of foreign affairs for an evil, oppressive, despotic regime?

Theseus · April 12, 2003, 20:30

I like your new tagline, Beta.

Well at least the part about not being conquerors will stand the test of time.

From the Vox Ministry of Information

690BC

Vox troops continue to advance on GS territory. Lead elements are now within 5 tiles of the capitol - Eye of the Storm. General Jon and his Immortals are moving into position.

A new Voxian force has been landed on the East coast.

Resistance continues to be light.

May the One bless the Voxian forces of might and light in our campaign against the infidels.

The Lion tolerates the buzzing of the Bee, for he is merely an irritation and can be swatted at leisure with a mighty paw.

Furthermore, everyone knows that the Bee commits suicide when it attacks

. A little sting is a small thing to be endured.

Shiber · April 15, 2003, 09:43

Pffft... Vox Ministry of Misinformation.
No, please, don't attack us with regular spearmen.

Zero · April 15, 2003, 19:48

Oh man this war is gonna be fun~

WC VS Immortals.

I hope for GS's sake they have plenty of WCs.. cause Vox sure does seem to have a quite alot of immortals.

Shiber · April 16, 2003, 04:05

Ahh, but we haven't even exposed our secret weapon yet. Wait until you see the huge mechs with the plasma...
D'OH! I'll keep quiet from now on.

Btw, Calc II: I love your new avatar! Nu's are so cool.

From the Voxian Information Ministry:

670BC

The troops of Vox Controli continue to advance unhindered into GS territory.

The advance is on two fronts.

Action is expected soon. And it may be messy. A GS swordsmen who is currently adjacent to our troops is stacked with two GS workers. Our military commanders are prepared for GS military units using civilians as human shields, or GS mixing para-military formations with stacks of workers.

May the One grant our leaders wisdom.
