Tien Chi just performed a massive scale sneak attack on Pangaea. They succeeded to conquer one province from Pangaea.

If Tien Chi so badly wants a war with Pangaea, then a war you shall have. I call for all my allies to stomp Tien Chi out for good, they have truly shown their colour by now to all and everybody.

For those going to war with Tien Chi, look out for their double blessed pegasii. Looks like TC has been *very* lucky with other sites too, thus their formidable magic arsenal is even more formidable now. Tien Chi truly is a power-house in its current situation.

Ah, zombie brains.

'Formidable magic arsenal'? I'm dead last in research!

Reconquering lands that you took from me, while I was fighting Formoria hardly constitutes a 'sneak' attack. Especially since you cancelled our NAP yourself...... prior to invading my lands...

[Jarkko]

To Tien Chi:

1) We never had a NAP, altough Pangaea twice asked Tien Chi for one

2) Tien Chi demanded Pangaea to attack Marverni when we were not prepared, but in the name of mutual friendship Pangaea complied

3) When Pangaea then did attack, Marverni went AI and Tien Chi did immediatly pull out of the war to fight Formoria, leaving Pangaea alone to fight Marverni

4) At this point Pangaea informed whatever alliance we had reagarding Marverni would be now considered void, because it was apparent Tien Chi just had wanted somebody to attack Marverni while itself could focus on Fomoria. Again Pangaea asked for a NAP, but Tien Chi ignored it once again.

5) Pangaea has only taken lands from Marverni plus the one province back which had previosly been "accidently" conquered from Pangaea (funny thing how those accidents seem to happen regularily to some). Pangaea has never attacked Tien Chi lands.

6) After Pangaea had finally trashed Marverni, Tien Chi saw it fit to demand lands it never would have had a chance to conquer. Pangaea didn't even bother to answer such rubbish.


Tien Chi may be last in research, but funnily enough that doesn't prevent them to field dozens of combat mages to the field. A more suspicious mind might actually believe those two facts are somehow connected...


Notice: Tien Chi has *not* broken any NAP when the suprise attack on Pangaea began, simply because we never had a NAP. Foolishly I have however believed Tien Chi to be a friend of Pangaea, and that is why this sudden assault feels so nasty. I really thought I would be smarter than fall for the oldest trick in the book, but seems that was not the case this time

[chrispedersen]

I find bald faced liars tiresome.

Provide one authentic screen shot of me fielding "dozens" of combat mages and I will resign the game.

As for 'abandoning' the fight against Marverni:

The second picture, turn 25, shows who actually was fighting Marverni. Notice not a single Pan force except all the way up in the ittybitty right.

The first picture shows that you have opportunistically conquered all the lands I formerly held. Except of course the one I just retook.

As for province 304 - it was taken from Arco at his request. And of course I have the documentation to prove that.

I know that TC is widely viewed as a tasty snack - and so it has been this game... having combat with no less than 3 nations to date.

And I have no illusions about actually *beating* you pangaea. My entire objective at this point is to ensure that you choke on your ill gotten gains - and so *lose*.

To the other nations of the world: I killed 300 or so of Pans troops - you see the tiny dent it caused in his troop totals. If you wish me to continue denting pan (and you should), please contribute. If I can dent him long enough - his own carrion woods will consume him.

How very convenient of you to show only your own empire in that picture without showing the mainlands of Marverni. Mainland where incidently Pangaean troops were fighting in full swing. As for the rest of the comments, I too can create pictures that conveniently leave out the important parts

TC did kill only some 280 troops this turn, true. But they were sadly not many maeanads or manikin present, but the heavy hitting stuff of Pangaea No, Pnagea is not on its knees for sure, but this means TC will be able to steam-roll for a couple turns. When the best of my best troops get slaughtered by a few double-blessed pegasii (supported by 6 combat mages in that one battle only, with more in the other TC forces), it is time for a strategic withdrawal.

TC diplomats are super quality. They make TC appear weak, so that others, just of pity, would jump in and help them. In Pangaea we found out the truth the hard way, hopefully others don't have to make the same mistakes

Most people would say that the "mainlands of Marverni" include its capital. Which is prominantly displayed on the pictures I provided.

It was you, not I, that made the statement that *I* had abandonned the fight against Marverni. So I showed a picture of Marverni troops deep within TC territories. And me fighting them.

I notice you are no longer contesting the fact that you invaded TC lands, not vice versa. Funny how pictures will do that.

As for steamrolling - thats not really the truth either now is it. If it were you would accept the following offer:
Challenge: Return to the turn25 boundaries shown on the map- accept Marverni's capital as your just rewards - plus all the *other* Marverni lands that you have already taken. Keep also the territory to the far right top - that you wanted so badly and where you admitted you *betrayed* me.. or do you need me to repeat your words?

You already have more of Marverni lands than I. Accept those- and its capital and you can have peace - and a chance to win the game.

But of course you will decline, as I am of no actual threat. A mistake, but I will prove it over the next several turns, starting by relieving the siege of Marverni, inshallah.

Of course Pangaea has. Pangaea has done all the fighting while TC saw it fit to attack Fomoria, and *then* come back and claim lands Pangaea has bled for when Fomoria apparently didn't agree to roll over and die as TC had hoped.

Also, *please* try to have *some* truth in the communiques, they would be much more trustworthy if there was even one piece of truth to hang on to. For example, Tien Chi did attack Pangaea, I do not understand *how* you can make Pangaea the aggressor when I have never attacked a single Tien Chi province (except to take one province back from your "accident", which you admitted and gave clearence to(altough Pan had to slightly freak out before TC was able to admit its mistake)) and with Tien Chi pegasi landing out of the blue sky into Pangaean lands.

But of course you will decline, as I am of no actual threat. A mistake, but I will prove it over the next several turns, starting by relieving the siege of Marverni, inshallah.

Of course I will decline. It is time *somebody* stands up to face the TC bullying before TC is in the winning position, which it btw is not far away from at the moment. I applaud at the *very* superb strategic skill Tien Chi has shown far managing the charts in an excellent way: To show low performance in charts, while in reality building for a massive turbo annexing frenzy. This is a lesson I do value a lot, and I am grateful I have been able to witness it so closely!


I do not have high hopes about the result of the war if it would remain 1 vs 1. But then again, I am pretty sure it does not stay so; TC silver tongue will lure more people to foolish actions while I certainly do hope some would realise what is going on and stop TC before they grow out of all proportion. At the very least Pangaea will give Tien Chi a full run for the money. Tien Chi *is* already in a class of its own, and none can stand against their might alone anymore.

you mean.. "jump in and help themselves to our territories.."

Sorry, not interested!
Fortunately, not all nations have zombies for brains =P.
