Good luck Asmala for you will need it. Having a look at the trade figures is more than enough to make me question the current status of the Zax Society. All our wishes our survival go to your Society on behalf of our Republic. (This Empire was said to be in a very bad situation, but it was nothing compared to the Zax. But who knows after all what sorts of tricks Asmala can pull out from under his sleeve?)

No one listened to me when I announced the treachery of the Kilrah and suggested everyone break their alliances with them. Now everyone is paying the price. My time is limited, but seems to have been extended while the Kilrah attends to bigger fish...

Greybeard, for the Argon Confederation

Thanks Alneyan, I will indeed need luck. I've just done my turn and I noticed that only luck beyond imagination could save the empire. I just try to set as high price to my planets as possible, but I fear they will go almost for nothing. But time will tell the price.

Well, we *did* listen and broke our alliances with a few selected enemies. Now this didn't seem to satisfy you. We are deeply depressed by this, we *are* trying to head you advices and you still are not happy with this. Please tell us what our humble empire can do to make you happier.

And we are letting you survive because we really love your repeated announcements of upcoming galactic doom. We would miss them if you leave us.

Roanon: I'm sure that as the Kilrah leader, you would sorely miss having the Argonites to amuse you and provide planets with well built facilities for you to conquer. Your "humble empire?" could try to be honorable, as you so often claim to be. Oh, it's way too late for that Our only regret is that we trusted you when you stated that you wanted to join in fighting the Nyxians together.

We are keeping our side of the agreement by fighting to the best of our ability for the benefit of others.

[This game has been fun and very educational. Thanks]...Greybeard

Dear Greybeard, we indeed still are honoring our promises. Please note that we never promised that we would attack the Nyxian Empire. Although we have been considering it, and it was a tough decision and a close call. We then did what we always promised, and that was to enter the Nyxian/Zaxxon war. We are deeply sorry that our choice of sides did not match your implications, but we guess there are other empires that are hurt even more by this decision.

The Kilrah/Argon war is a totally independent decision, and was mostly caused by the numerous border conflicts between you and our ally, the Frost Collective - we just had to honor our promise that our humble empire would aid them against a superior foe. We really admire your spirited resistance. This confirms that we indeed have made the correct decision, and chosen a worthy foe who is not surrendering to despair when outnumbered. Someone who really is worth to find a honorable death while fighting, someone probably a real Kilrah by heart. You will always have a special place of honor in our gallery of fallen enemies - should you finally fall.

Nothing personal, this is just business You see, Warlord Roanon of the Kilrah is warrior at heart, and it is sometimes very difficult even for me to understand his decisions

The game is indeed a lot of fun, and it was really nice to play with and against you - and still is. I hope that you also still have some fun, sorry if I have ruined it a bit for you - I know I was not nice to you . But I had to choose someone - after all, there can be only one...

Sure I am. Do you think I would do all that work to become Evil Overlord of the Galaxy (tm) if I couldn't enjoy it for unlimited time?
