Hello Agartha! Your birds where tasty and about as useful as I think you knew they would be though the spy desert was nice. Any particular reason for attacking me at this moment? Just so everyone knows maybe you can explain why what is probably the most powerful nation decided to attack one of the people who hasn't done anything to you or others? Maybe you can also explain why if you do manage to conquer me you won't basically be able to steam roll the rest of the world because of the gained wealth of gems and resources?
Well, did you really expect you could forge non aggression pacts with everyone and just carry on expanding so large worry free? You give me too much, however, in calling me the most powerful nation. I might know how to position and move my power around, but I think you, Lanka, Niefelheim, and Pangaea are all potentially rivaling or surpassing me for power. Especially since you and Lanka have expanded and developed unopposed, Niefelheim is about to take Ermor's capital, and Pangaea is on the cusp of conquering Sauromatia. Your bleak 'steamroll the world' prospect stands alone here; no one has questioned if Niefelhiem will be steamrolling the world now. Or if Pangaea will be in position to.
If there is really so much wealth, gems, and resources to be gained in your lands than we all have plenty to fear in letting you sit passively accumulating them and waiting for the moment when you steamroll the world with it all.

Waterpoulf: Good game, even though I didn't really have any relations with you other than sending a handful of scouts to watch battles. Ya did good though, inflicted respectable damage.

Gman: A disease-causing site should be detectable via either blood 2 or death 2 searching.... with the possible exception of a death 4 site if the province is mountainous. And you really should go about discovering it because they give good gem income. (The only purely bad disease site is inkpot end. Which is unique and I happen to be the one stuck with it. I've kept the province garrisoned with the horde of militia that I got with a high priest awhile back. About half of them have died thus far and the other half are in various stages of dying.)
