Dear Cyan Team:

War dogs. Flaming pigs.

Love,
Remuthra
High Emperor of the Plebeians
Purple Team
Excuse me, I'm the Elephant King, and unless this is some kind of weird dual monarchy, there's only room for one ruler.

We need some kind of derail-derail game to determine the leader of Team Purple/Elephantia.
No, no, my lord, you misunderstand me. You're the Elephant King, and I'm the Emperor of the Plebeians. Since the Plebeians are inferior lower classes, being the emperor of them doesn't give as much status as being the full king, so I'm like an advisor or noble, or maybe a senatorial officer.

As we go along...

Cyan Team
Mace men. I can accept that.

Red Team
Nothing yet.

Blue Team
Deciding from Horse Archers, Shock Troops, and Navy Power.

Purple Team
War Elephants and harsh criticism.
As long as you asked for it:

So are the Cyan Team cavemen with clubs or something?

I've already decided that division of the nations falls to you guys.

If you want to make one person a military advisor, one an economic advisor, and one a science advisor, you can do that.
If you want to have three equally powerful dictators that give contradicting orders, go ahead.

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

WHAT ABOUT AN ALIENCE
I'm assuming that's meant to be a bad pun involving an alliance with aliens.

It would probably work, but there are no aliens in this game, as far as we work. Your out-of-this-world humour will have to wait for a more sci-fi game.

[3]YOU CAN BE THE POLITICAL ADVISER'S ADVISER.

(THE POLITICAL ADVISER IS MY DICE.)

FROM NOW ON, ELEPHANT KING WILL MAKE DECISIONS BY ROLLING DICE.

NO, ONLY REDICULUS TECHNOLOGY WILL BE PART OF HUMOR. ALIENS ARE JUST TO UNFAIR

To increase my credibility as a politician, I will recite all further communications in italics.

Sir, the people do not yet support our war with the other nations. How shall we convince them?

I can't predict whether this game will be laughably short, or punishingly long.

It'll depend on whether everyone is as insane as Purple team, so far.

Do not call us cavemen. We are just as advanced as you are. It's just that while you guys are perfecting the edge and point, we have gone the blunt route. Our maces and etc. have gone through years of refinement and our men are physically stronger in order to carry heavier weaponry. They are strong enough to smash through your shields and armours (pretty please Gm) so good luck cowering behind shiny plates for protection (our faction still wears armour though). A well placed blow from our maces will crush the helmet and the skull inside it to bloody pulp while your guys have to stab through openings.

You can fake being able to run on water. You can't fake looking cool when you break your foot on a door and hit your head on the floor.

They are more like these http://www.wesnoth.org/units/trunk/Armored_Era/en_US/ARERA_Shock%20Trooper.html

Although with a lot less armour. Emphasis is on the weapons here

Jokes aside, cavemen were actually rather smart and technologically advanced.

Also, I'm surprised nobody has gone for naked fanatics yet.
