Thanks yourself

Turns out he never did write anything definite about claiming Iuz. Maybe your bloody axe scared him off or maybe we'll be finding pieces of him floating in the Whyestil Lake. Either way, you sure know how to handle the competition

I don't know about Birthright or Fields of Blood (never read them), but it will not resemble the Civilization games. The economy will be a lot simpler than in Civ, there won't be nearly as much micromanagement and there will be more avenues of advancement. I'm not sure if it's very close to any particular game, besides the 3rd IR, as far as the rules are concerned. Hmm...
Seems like Iuz is trying to fabricate a diplomatic incident to establish a casus belli against the Circle of Eight. "They attacked me first with that cursed book, I had no choice but to slaughter their entire population..."
We have a couple of Neutrals, but you are the first Good. Good luck, brave man.
Would you like some elves with that order?
