Apostolic War

I just wanted to share my crowning achievement of the plague-like spread J'eebuzism (click for a readable version).

We eagerly await the First Crusade in the lands of ForMike-a.

Diplomacy and Me

Funny that Formica would spend so much time talking about diplomacy, since that's been pretty much the core of my own Sowing the Seeds of Luv game as well. As I mentioned in a prior post, I have been trying not to be the big bully of a big planet. Instead, I've engendered rather friendly relations with my human continent-mate, Papa Smurf (a renamed Hannibal, played by Jamie), as well as several of the AIs. I've been able to achieve this by relentless Christian missions to nations far and wide (praise J'eebuz), which explains why all of Chistiandom decided to declare war on the evil Muslims of Mikestan.

The interesting twist now is the sudden re-humanization of the Americans. In round two, Jammmesss allowed the AI to play his civ, and I rapidly spread my state religion to America's shores, which they welcomed whole-heartedly. Now I have not one, but two humans sharing my religion; we'll see how this all pans out with the war on the heathen Islam Earthlings. I mean, humans. That in and of itself is a pretty nice coup; the other being the Portugese (AI) are easily the largest civilization on the planet, and rabidly friendly towards the peace-loving Martian-Dutch.

I believe we'll be tabling this game until Mike gets back in town. In the meantime, we'll be starting a more exotic game next Monday.
