Scramble

Ok post anything here about the game....

HURRY>>> Just thought it would help!

lol

Ok, read the rules, am hooked, now which nation...which nation...

Made my choice already...

Ok, made mine...

Excellent... Look forward to working with you.

Got my set up turn this morning... Looking very interesting and should prove to be a very popular game!

I've also made mine a few days ago. Now what to do...........

Going through my turn to figure out what I am going to do with all these little resources.

revvaughan - I agree the initial resources are scanty. Best way to build Prestige is an international aid program - donations of cash, arms and miltary support.

I can't confirm this officially, you understand, but by supporting such right-thinking and defender-of-the-faith rulers such as Emperor Franz Josef of Osterreich bring huge Prestige benefits.

Really truly...

Trust me - I work for a bank...

What, you got resources? Must be the Brits!

The rest of us are starving.... -)


BTW, exactly which faith would Emperor Josef be supporting?

You never know...

G'day nazareth - the Emperor Franz Josef asks me to gently point you to the Edict of Tolerance of 1782, when religious tolerance was made part of the Austrian Constitution. True, it was mainly Christian faiths but was extended to the Jewish community, which for those days was remarkably fair. Few other European nations had gone that far (some religions were state-mandated and the punishment for secret worship was death). True, Austria didn't extend it to Buddhists, Hindoo, Mother Earth or Hare Krishna, but probably would have protected their rights even so!

The question of "which faith?" is too narrow a question. Perhaps the question should centre around defending the right to believe without persecution? Something to think about...

Ah yes, it is a somewhat older document and we were not sure if it had not been superceded by some later policy within your government.

I'm guessing the religious tolerance for the Jews you speak off is were their spoken and written language had to be replaced with the 'national' language, that official documents and school texts could not be printed in hebrew and that Jewish schools would be required to be strictly observed by the government, etc. Hmmm, yet I do confess that it is better that what they are used to and you are quite right, for Austria, remarkably fair. -)
