Dear King of Demons, I have a meek population center in your region. I would like to offer you a long term deal for its safety and control? The village is located advantageously to water which would allow for fleets to be built. My offer if you desire to accept: if I’m allowed to build a full fleet in your seas, I will pay you 1/2 of its gold as a standing order for the remainder of the game? Now it will take some turns before I can complete the task of building all the fleets. Let me know if this sounds intriguing to you.

Dear King of Alchemy, we are in possession of a nice population center in your region. I would like to make an offer to you to remain in control of the town. It has water access to your great sea. We Knights would very much like to build a full fleet in your sea with the town being its home port. We would be willing to pay 1/2 of the gold produced by the fleet to you as a standing order for the game, as soon as it is built. It will take a few turns to complete the task and thus start the payment. If this sounds intriguing to you let me know. Also be advised I will be moving a group out of your region this next couple of turns.

Heya Mateys:

The seas are smiling today. She's a running a bit rough, but a little tossing around never hurt a soul. The wind is hitting our sails from port side, and we are flying across the waters. Our holds are full of goods and rum and vittles. We are feeling so good, we might not even take out another ship today. Oh wait, look at that beauty on the horizon, 4 sails, 12 oars, and riding low in the water like it is fully loaded. Hmm, maybe we will take out a ship today....

We've heard tell of a trader who is selling fake watches and processed foods, calls himself a Free Trader. His goods are knockoffs. and cannot be trusted. Our goods come straight off royal ships, guaranteed quality. You need food, or water, or someone bumped off, you just let us know at vballmichael@gmail.com.

In the meantime, fair sailing to all.

Greetings to all from the Druids. Could someone help me get these stickleburrs out of my robe?

We are peaceful and friendly and inoffensive and please don't hurt us we don't have any armor and our weapons are all modified agricultural implements and our mythic background turns out to be mostly just hippie rubbish written by stoners.

If you hug a tree, you're friends with me!

Greetings from the Dark Elven people.

We desire peaceful expansion and are a friend in need.

You can reach me at guy.freitag86@yahoo.com

BTW: I don't know if I am the only one with this problem, but I cannot issue a customization order for my kingdom. Instead of that order, it lists 4 victory conditions, which includes a team victory condition.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Never mind. It worked itself out. I am still open for diplomacy though.

That's fine death knight King. I'm very busy in my lab, I'm about to have a breakthrough in making bread stay fresh up to 5 hours longer. I hope I don't blow up my lab, while being distracted writing this letter.

Subject: A Mystical Welcome from the Enchanting World of the Illusionist

Esteemed Rulers of Alamaze,

A splendid and enigmatic greeting from the beguiling depths of Zanthia, the bastion of illusions and enchantments, under the careful orchestration of the Illusionist Kingdom!

The veil between realities quivers as we, under the ethereal shroud of Strylian, extend our ethereal tendrils of fellowship across the vast expanses of our shared destiny, welcoming each and every one of you to Game 5728. An adventure, we anticipate, that shall weave tales of valor, cunning, alliances, and perhaps, a sprinkle of treachery through the intricate tapestry of our intertwined fates.

To the fierce and potent Red Dragons, under the stalwart leadership of Morgan Kane, may your wings cast shadows that darken the hopes of your adversaries.

To the Hidden Realm of the Sorcerer, guided by the enigmatic Uncle Darkseid, may your spells echo through the void, warping reality to your whims.

...and to all other concealed players and unseen kingdoms, your secrets are safe within your borders... for now.

May your coffers brim with gold, your crops flourish under benevolent suns, and your enemies cower before your might and intellect. However, tread lightly through the shrouded mirages of the world, for not all is as it appears, especially when illusions dance at every corner, and shadows whisper secrets of fortune and doom.

As our realms engage in this mystifying dance of power, strategy, and wits, may we find moments of camaraderie amidst the inevitable clashes, and respect amidst the deceptions that may weave through our interactions.

In the spirit of friendly competition and the elusive pursuit of victory, Strylian, the whisper through the Illusionist’s illusions, wishes each kingdom prosperity, auspicious alliances, and fortuitous encounters upon every dawn.

Let the echoes of our enchantments entwine with your destinies, crafting a tale of Alamaze that shall linger through the ages, long after our reigns have melted into the sands of time.

With mystical respect and enigmatic well-wishes,
Strylian, The Veiled Enchanter
Master of the Illusionist Kingdom, Zanthia Realm
Strylin@gmail.com

Dear Admiral of the Pirate Fleets,

Ahoy and fair tidings from the veiled lands of Zanthia, under the ephemeral watch of Strylian and the Illusionist Kingdom!

It has been brought to our attention that our mystical tides have woven a path that crosses into the salty and free terrains of the Sword Coast, specifically a quaint town under your robust dominion. Although the glistening seas and gallant sails of your realm are a sight to behold, alas, the pungent aroma of the abundant fishy residents of your waters have proven to be a tad overwhelming for our citizens, who are accustomed to the more fragrant blossoms and enigmatic scents of Zanthia.

Thus, with open dialogue and transparent intentions, we wish to convey that on the impending 4th turn of our shared journey through Alamaze, we shall be lifting our illusionary veils and recalling our presence from the aforementioned town. Our endeavors and intentions harbor no malign or concealed motives against your majestic reign over the Sword Coast and we hope that this revelation finds you in amiable spirits.

May your sails forever catch the most favorable winds and your compass ever point towards prosperous adventures.

Enchanting regards,

? Strylian, The Veiled Enchanter ?
Master of the Illusionist Kingdom

Note to the Free Traders of Triumvia

Esteemed Most Free of the Free Traders,

Salutations from the mysterious realms of Zanthia, where Strylian's illusions weave a tapestry of enigma and splendor through the Illusionist Kingdom!

A brief note to inform you of a small alteration in the map of our shared adventures through Alamaze. It has come to our observation that a modest village under our temporal control, nestled within the bustling markets and vibrant landscapes of Triumvia, has woven its destiny into the paths of the revered Free Traders.

With no major affections towards this particular settlement and respecting the eminent prowess of the Free Traders in such vibrant lands, we plan to retract our illusionary veils and recall our citizens therein on the forthcoming 4th turn of our collective endeavors.

This maneuver harbors no hidden agendas nor secretive plots against the affable Free Traders. It is merely a reflection of our current strategy, which sees us re-focusing our energies and resources towards other enigmatic endeavors.

May your trades be ever profitable and your caravans always find the safest routes through the vast expanses of Alamaze.

Mysteriously Yours,

? Strylian, The Veiled Enchanter ?
Master of the Illusionist Kingdom

Hi. Anyone want to trade for food? I could use some gold for innocent wizard research stuff

**VballMichael** · 10-10-2023, 02:45 AM

PI - IL

Your mystical veils are always an entertainment for the boys and we appreciate the many shows you have put on for us. We are sad to see you go, but understand you have more pressing issues at home. We will make arrangements to take over management of that town after you vacate in the fourth month.
