  • public declaration of friendship

    Isabella said to me, "Darius has become a problem. Will you help me defeat him?"

    I said, "Yes, let's get this war started."

    Foolish Darius led an offensive against Chengdu. It was crushed, and then the modern armor made its way through city after city after city. Two puppet regimes and a razed city later, I'm looking at Susa, coastal capital.

    Darius made a last ditch effort to dissuade me from the final capture. "Here is a sack of 243 gold coins and I'll make peace with the three city-states working with you," he said.

    Making peace with them was only to his advantage, so his words rang hollow.

    Making oblique references to the current Russia/Ukraine spat?

    Chengdu is one of my cities. Darius was annexed 2 years later.
