In other news, the Persians denounced the Ottomans and the Arabians for being the puppets of Washington and attempting coups in Assyrian city states. A Persian spy was captured, but only admitted to being a missionary.

The Chinese denounced America for being too close to their borders with a large naval force, while signing a DoF and defence pact with China's neighbour Korea.

Greece is running minus GPT and has almost completely stopped production and building infrastructure thanks to civilian units being disbanded.

Germany has lost some happiness after gifting some of its last luxury resources to unhappy civs like Greece and Spain.

America, in the meantime, completed another section of its spaceship with a successful test flight.

Japan to America:

We have made a public Declaration of Friendship.
We have made Declarations of Friendship with the same leaders.
We have denounced the same leaders.
They have an embassy in your capital.
We traded recently.
You have gone to war in the past.
You stole their territory with a Great General.
You nuked them.

[alcibiades]

We traded recently.

Actually, since G&K, this modifier doesn't appear anymore, except if they have given them something for free, which I don't think is the case here.

[tfordp]

Didn't they get a crap load of aid after that tsunami last year?

Did it appear pre-G&K at all?

[alcibiades]

Didn't they get a crap load of aid after that tsunami last year?

Arguably, I guess you could say so.

Did it appear pre-G&K at all?

Yep, pre-G&K you would get the modifier for a regular 1:1 trade.

Persia has lost all influence over Canada city-state, any Persian units left behind will lead to negative influence.

[tfordp]

The CS of Jerusalem is still looking for protection against Persia. If you declare war and can destroy four of their units you will be rewarded.

Our scout exploring the borders to Songhai witnessed Songhai riflemen destroying a barbarian group inside their borders.

Persia questions America, England, France, and other civs and city-states on the positioning of ships close to their border along the Straits of Hormuz, asking them not to sneak around and declare war if that is their intention.
America replies, our ships are merely passing through the area for "naval exercises".
Persia responds by sending its troops and aircraft into "military exercises" as well.
Meanwhile the city-state of Jerusalem threatens to launch air strikes to stop Persia's Manhattan Project.

Persia gets closer to Nuclear weapons. Persia threatens to wipe Israel City-State "off the face of the Earth" if Israel attacks them. Persia continues to lose it's income after not being able to trade it's oil to other Civilizations. Persia's influence over Israel decreases to -7000. America stands ready to defend as last resort.

China has gifted the CS of Sydney enough gold to replace you as their Ally. China now has access to Sydney's strategic resources.

China denounces Japan
and war might spew out? they sent a few ships over.

If war spews out, The United states has a defensive pack with Japan.

[SamBC]

The usual term is that war "breaks out". Spews out is a very odd turn of phrase for it.

[Hellogoodbye123]

I like the word spews...

reminds me of a gas/liquid coming out of a broken can
engulfing everything, in its action going from nothing to something

[SamBC]

It's also a vernacular term for vomiting...

[Hellogoodbye123]

Lets not get out of topic just because of one word.

Lets not get out of topic just because of one word.

Exactly, well said.

Back on topic;

I'm sure they'll resolve it peacefully...I don't think China has an interest in war with America.

[tfordp]

In order to stop running at negative GPT, France has forced all of its cities to prioritise Gold.

Growth is stagnating in Japan as the Information Era intensifies research and fall-out has destroyed farms.

India has completed a road (sort of) to connect the CS of Mali with the capital.

[tfordp]

The Ottomans and Assyria are no longer friends. The Ottomans have challenged the Assyrian troops near the border, and Assyria has said they mean no harm, just passing through.
