Yes, the Inquisitors surely did pull a holy veil of secrecy over their true intentions, and cleverly withheld the small print on their deceitful peace deal. "Marignon agrees peace with Machaka, that is until those damn spiders are far away from home".

Man regrets that while its calls for help fell on two eager pairs of ears, it is unfortunate that only one pair of sinewy ears sought to genuinely help the beleaguered Wardens. While to the other pair, all outside prayers for help were soundly deafened by wrinkled and cauliflowered ears, that are obviously the result of decades of unhealthy Mitre abuse.

The Lord Wardens hereby offer their thanks and condolences to the fallen yet brave Spider worshippers. For while Man's idea to use spiders to catch flying pests was a good one, we should have heeded the warnings the web masters voiced towards their untrustworthy, Jesus loving neighbours.

Oh no, the nation of Marignon was completely willing to abide by its ceasefire with Machaka, until we discovered that Machaka had brutally launched a surprise invasion of Caelum, ignoring their diplomatic agreement to give three months notice before launching any aggressive acts.

At this point we decided that Machaka was not worthy of our trust, and we had better commence military defensive posturing before we were likewise attacked. So Marignon positioned ourselves in a strategic location in the mountains, through which the spiders had recently passed on their expedition to the Bandar capitol. We were attacked by the spiders the next month, at great loss of many brave flagellants.

We have no idea who this "Jesus" is though. There is but one true god, Smaug, and Riego is his Prophet.

Damnit! I forgot to rebuy dagan!! 18gold for 27research is a fine deal! 36gold for 27research is not a good deal... he was only worthwhile if i kept him for longer... I guess it's true what they say about birds and short attention spans.

The nation of C'Tis is happy to report that our assault on the most hated Atlanteans has begun! Our carefully prepared strike team has already sieged and broken the first of their underwater forts. More soon to come We invite all other nations who have had to endure Atlantean landgrabbing and bullying to join the fun, now that the water cannot protect them anymore.

I'm pretty sure water still protects them from everyone who can't breathe water

[Ironhawk]

The occupants of their sieged underwater fort would disagree with you...
