Ping 1 - Gamechat

Ping 1


Ping 1 was our first cloud play game. Even though we successfully moved back and forth between Cloud Play and Simultaneous Turns (for marathons), a bug prevented reloading after one player was defeated. After vote, the game was called a draw. The following is the game chat log of that game.

Finally finding some fertile land, German warriors drank deeply of fermented grapes. Then they were attacked from the sea by a large wooden monster!

Zar

Korea has no intentions of moving further West, and we hope to avoid the wrath of the violent Macedonian troops
May 28, 2019

Zar

Let it be known that Korea will not tolerate further German aggression against defenceless city states! Defending our allies is of the utmost priority. We hope the international community will agree with us on this issue.

As the Kongo Coffers lay empty from paying for a lackluster military boost, we see in the paid troops eyes how near they are to abandoning the cause.

Zar

Legions of German swordsmen have taken to the seas and now bear down on the Korean capital. Our people fear for their lives and scramble to prepare our defenses.

Erik

Saurkraut vs Kimchi. East vs. West. Which cabbage dish will survive?

Zar

Let the most fermented man win

Erik

I'll be honest, I love both a lot. I'm not sure I could pick one over another.

The German warriors landed on the coasts of Gyeongju in a surprise incursion into the unprotected Korean heartland. Within a single turn of landing, however, the Korean capital managed to recruit an incomprehensible combination of man, horse, and metal, and summoned large stone walls out of thin air. The ill-fated assault has been recorded as one of the greatest blunders in German military history, but the threat was enough to bring Korea back to the table after their declaration of war. A tentative peace deal has been offered, with Korea agreeing to allow German dominion over the peoples of Heidelberg-Kƶnigsberg.

Nate

Spartans can be seen nodding approvingly at the bravery shown by both Koreans and Germans.

Nate

Spartan victories continue to grow ever more numerous over the barbarous and savage peoples of the world. Countless pathetic tribes have been assimilated or destroyed from across Batltica and the Arctic Ocean.

World Congress 900 AD (turn 106)
Sparta is eager to hear from its friends on how to vote.

Joe

Deutschland believes that giving anyone the ability to create culture bombs is irresponsible, and will only result in strife.

Erik

All I can say is may my regent chose wisely in my absence.

Joe

You have the most favor! I hope they don't burn it on something silly!

Nate

Sparta votes for valor and honor!

Joe

With no word from any of its friends, Deutschland votes as best it can.

Ranged units now have +5 :strength: and the Macedonians have a culture bomb ability.

Nate

Spartan navigators announce that they have sailed around the world.

Joe

But not first, apparently!

Nate

Apparently! We suspect that it is the noble and graceful Koreans who were first to accomplish this rare feat.

Joe

The Koreans have boats?

Nate

Many, though in seas likely unknown to the German people.

Zar

Our curious scouts and seafaring men have ventured to the ends of the Earth and back!

Korean research has become downright miraculous.

Zar

Let's just say... we got rational

Nate

Spartans have been rational for some time, but our cities are not the sprawling super cities that Korea possesses.

Nate

Sparta is thrilled to announced that enrollment is now open at the brand new Oxford University.

Zar

Greece, our once trusted ally, has denounced us without warning.

Nate

Korea's policy of isolationism and ethnocentrism is a threat to world stability. While we have grown fond of the Koreans, their unwillingness to share technology and culture with the rest of the world is alarming indeed.

Zar

We have shared freely, and accepted all diplomatic offers thrown our way. It seems the rest of the world fears progress more than they value peace!

Joe

Thems is some big words, library-lady.

Zar

Our words are backed with Niter-powered weapons!

The Kongo brought a Military Emergency to the World Congress. No one voted to support the beleaguered nation in its defense against the Macedonian juggernaut.

Nate

No one.

Zar

Didn't have a vote

Joe

Same, Deutschland was not asked for their opinion.

NicoDemonous

Nothing to see here, what Kongo empire..... Never existed, rumor

The German people are in awe of the changnig world around them, as nearby empires take to the seas and skies, they are all but left behind. To the north, Greece. To the west, Korea. Two megaliths of science and culture with immense naval superiority. What Deutschland does have is money, industry, and brave soldiers. They still field the largest army in the known world. What good will come of these forces if they cannot travel the waterways of the Arctic ocean? Only time will tell.

Zar

Though we have cultivated peaceful relations with all the world's empires, Koreans feel that violence is on the horizon. In the West, our Macedonian neighbors have rolled over the primitive Kongolese. Furthermore, they continue to send unwanted proselytizers into our lands. More concerning is Gorgo's sudden change of heart. Previously we enjoyed peace and an extensive, profitable trade network between the 2 giants of the world. However, now we fear that the Greek people have ill intentions toward us. The nearby German armies have not gone unnoticed either, and Korean political scholars fear they may have fallen under the influence of the bloodthirsty Greeks. We however still welcome peace with the Germans if they would have it.

NicoDemonous

Macedonia denies that our clerics and priests who spread our religion through your cities were "unwanted". Our faith spread across the world like a wave and still washes over the new beliefs of the world. We are not saying that there is not room for other beliefs, as long as our faith is first.:thumbsup:
New motto of Macedonia, "Our Faith must be First"

In the face of growing tensions Germany and Korea sign a historic peace agreement, at least temporarily putting a halt to the southern arms race.
July 23, 2019

Joe

The Industrial Age is not looking especially bright for Germany.

Joe

However, it begins with a new faith spreading in Deutschland. An ancient, long-forgotten cult to a god of death. Tankards of ale have started to be imbibed with sidecar shots of human blood. The beleaguered people, once again falling short of the two superpowers that surround them, find solace and strength in their faith. As the world moves to the seas, skies, and stars, Germany descends into a drunken bloodlust. May Gurgan see the German people through this dark age, and guide them so as to emerge from it stronger than ever.

Once again, the Germans fall short of lofty goals. Well met, Macedon.
