My Samurai in the Carribean have started rebuilding Barbados in a more Japanese design, with more crossbow slots and a larger fire pit. The dragon riders have been matched up with their dragons and have begun training together. Also, I have sent a few ships [10 to be exact] To New Greenland.

The war in Barbados has gone well. I have used all my shot over the 2 days, and reduced the city to stone and ruins. I have sent warriors in to intimidate the survivors into joining me, but have met with resistance. And my Dragons have made immense progress. Three more have hatched, and the five I currently have are already learning to fly. As to riders, my blacksmiths are making shruiken launchers. Also, they have started work on a rotating shield that can be used as an axe too. The riders they selves have been selected, and they are undergoing a rigourous training that involves veterariansm, accuracy, and stability. BTW, Oriental's aren't "pathetic". The eldest [being less then a week old] has already burnt down an empty stable.

I'll be quite dissapointed if that is the final image. The arms are too long, the right-hand thing is weird, the feet are too Pirakaish, and the shoulders have no bulk. Nice find, though.

The dragon nest is roughly 3 kilometres below Fuji, Japan. Here is the latest installment: The warriors have come, clutching a cache of hard stones. My prophets threw them in the fire, and I let them, believing them to be dragon eggs. Hopefully this will not spark a war, bu-One of them has hatched, and it is a dragon, being roughly 2 feet long, and 1 foot tall, excluding the half-foot spines. I have fed it raw veal, and it seems to work well. It has grown about a half-foot, and two others have hatched, one of which died during birth. Now to the Barbados war: My ships have reached Barbados, and attacked. One shot has hit the bell tower, and caused a great tumbling, so that it crumbled, although leaving much to be desired for in way of destruction.

I have removed three ships from the battle to build a settlement on Barbados, although the other seven are still with you. And my ships are just a day's travel north of San Juan. Another update from the crystal wall: *a firebolt strikes from it, incinerating a section of the carpet and severly startling the servants* Your Soldiers have come. We listened. We pondered. We fight. What does all this mean? Have I discovered an underground dragon nest? Will I have dragons in my power? Could this help in the mystery of Lord Viking I?

So, you own Australia, most of North America, China, all that? Seema to be a bit godmoddy. Perhaps you should leave some land for new players. BTW, my ships have found an island and are hunting for a place for a base. Wait...my crystal wall...[it was an ornament, I never knew it to be possessing magical properties.] Unknown Voice: So.... you have found us at last, we are not of you but akin to you, seek our aid, and we will answer. What is that? Is it the Lord of the Underworld? Will he save the day? Am I throwing up red herrings?

Well, Dragon King? My Australian ships have been built, but not sent yet. BTW, did you scrap the rule again and try to get power extra-fast? As well, I have sent messenger birds to the Caribbean telling them to stay, as well as find a reasonable-sized island to build a base on. Also, I have sent warriors into the underground tunnels to search for the rumored Underworld... Plus Dragon King, it seems like you and Khorne are in a race for Africa...

Gone eh? Gone? Hahahaha!!!!! I laugh in roaring and lifting approval of your plans. I have sent messenger birds to my ships telling them to return, it will take the same amount of time as your "business". And you seriously think you can conquer Asia? What about Taiwan? Hmmmm....I will have to send people to India and Afghanistan, as well as my warships to Australia. By the way, why are you aiming to conquer me if we're both allied with the Inquistion?

Where is the forest that Lord Viking I is supposedly hiding? I need to know, so that I can send a translator to let us find out what they say. I myself would not like to look, though. I believe you should send a few of your stealthiest men to Falls Darkness's palace quickly, because the bit about the Fafnir Dragon may be more then an empty threat.

My ships have moved to Santiago. And also, my merchants have brought carts to carry the iron in. Where are your 4 ships? Also, I would like to know what the bear-like creatures have said, in case I may know something that would be jolted from memory....

A mix of Japanese and French eh? I have nothing to do with Lord Viking I! BTW, my new base is rapidly being built in Taiwan. Also, My merchants are on foot to Vera Cruz, and will meet you in the shipyard. And what is this? Is Tophdawg an ally of yours? I have reached Port Royal, and my ships await command.

Oh goody! A double threat! Mister Phes, my merchants are ready to pick up the supply of iron and my ships are poised to help recapture Port Royal.

Wow, you must put a lot of work into those, those are really cool. KUTGW!

Well, my ~20~ ships are now reaching the central coast of Brazil, and they have 200 Samurai, 40 catapults, and powerful Ironwood walls. By the way, you'll regret your choice of splitting up your forces. Besides, I told my samurai to get TENNIS RACKETS on their next port-stop. MUAHAHA!!!! You'll need to to better then that! And if you're thinking of godmodding, those ships cost me a lot of pretty, pretty pennies....

I would not tell mine enemy, nor where my ship is, for you may send assasins to slay my mere merchants! And I have two wonderful pieces of news, but for The Illustrious One, not you. 1. My ships have left Argentina and rounded the Cape. This means that only the northern voyage remains between us and the Carribean. 2. My envoys have returned from Taiwan, with good news. They wish to see a display for my power, so I am sending them 5 pounds of gunpowder back, along with a firearms master. They will soon join me....

Wow, some people here have lots. :P BTW, I think it was intentional that wave 2 wasn't sent to Europe. I can't think why though...

So, what about those tennis rackets? And the new rule, as we talk, you work goes faster, and I am blessed with going...................REALLY FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Erm...ahem..*clears throat*..now, I have just left Panama City with fresh supplies. Also, my merchant ship [it's not even Japanese!] has been docked and my merchants are heading to Vera Cruz on foot as I speak.

So what is this great addition? An elastic launcher? Haha! My ships are unharmed by such fools-weapons! Wait, is this hypothesis wrong? Is it....a TENNIS BALL LAUNCHER? Heehee! I'd better tell my Samurai to use rackets instead of katana! Yet, "you will rue the very day you insulted me!"? You're right, because I never put tennis in the curriculum! By the way, my ships are now nearing Panama, so it will, indeed, be a while until they come. You'll need at least six ships..... I know about who's on America, but is anyone in Califorina particularly?

Very good! KUTGW!

My 20 ships have just left Hawaii. Should I split them up? I have also sent envoys to the Taiwanese, expressing the greatness of the new-emerging Japanese Empire and it's ally, the Spanish Inquistion. Hopefully, they will comply with my requests, and join me!

All X-Pods, all of the second wave of Bionicle cans, whatever the KK vignette will be, Axonn, Karzon megafig, and Sentry.

Well, I've sent out my ships yesterday, so they should have reached Hawaii by now. Have you built the Panama Canal? Or will my ships have to travel along the edge of South America? By the way, is it okay for me to send some ships to conquer an yet-inhabitated island? Like Taiwan?

Not much, our mages have finally, after all these years, learnt the secret of gunpowder. Although, the Chinese found it so far before. Now, who are your enemies? And allies? I don't want to get you on my bad side. How goes the Spanish Inquisition?

Nothing like their smell, although they are revolting in that manner. No, they want higher wages, although all they do in wander, chip rocks, and write notes on a map. We'll send a merchant ship with the Ironwoods to pick it up. Many thanks, leader of the Inquisition!

I don't have many to spare, say 10? That'll be about 100 Samurai and a few cannons. That good? By the way, do you have any iron metal? Our mines are starting to run dry, and the prospectors are revolting from their work.
