160 AD

Deity pondered the seclusion of Paul lately.

Was he upset?

The war started by the Adriatics was certainly no surprise, but a shock all the same. Clearly they had come to the New World to cause trouble. They seem to need to be noticed. They have always spoken threateningly and constantly mentioned ‘war’, ‘fighting’ etc.

Deity, with his supreme and spotless reputation, is anxious to hear from Paul for he fears that Paul’s thoughts may be tending to war…

But Deity implores you to consider this:
This is NOT your war.
Your allies would expect you to remain neutral and your plans to colonise the West Indies may have been a little over-confident. But what of the poor Mali I hear you say? Seek peace with the AL and maybe attempt to defuse the situation. Deity knows that you hold high hopes for vast and wealthy colonies in the Americas but be content to compromise. Make friends and peace...

I await your response, Paul...

Things have been going well however on the Aussie homeland with all cities growing and building various improvements. Several new cities were established and one was ceded to help our loyal allies, the Chinese in developing their nation. North America is there's and Mali.
