Since you are doing this by updating the original, I hope you are also saving the earlier versions someplace so that a complete narrative history with maps, headlines, and orders can be reconstructed after the game is finished.
Although Duke Carinthium was originally receptive to the offer, negotiations fell through after it was discovered that “Kevin” may have been a front-man for an organization of malevolent robots dedicated to transforming Italy’s land and populace into paper-clips. An international committee is investigating the incident with a view to ensuring it does not happen again.
I’m glad I hadn’t upvoted this post yet. I just had to reward you for this brilliant paragraph somehow.
League of Nations is fine with me, but please do not meddle in the Russian line of succession. The Tsar’s younger brother and heir to the throne, Duke Michael, threatened to have me shot for treason after you carelessly referred to me as the crown prince. I claim the hereditary title of prince, but am not in the line of succession as Tsar of the Russias, nor am I closely related to the Romanov royal family.
Brilliant writing, once again. I assure everyone who’s worried that the spoils from Denmark and Marseilles are already on their way: they should fix help the truth shortage.
Also, huh. France, Turkey and Italy all managed to surprise me with their moves. Even though I spent a good while in Realpolitik trying to simulate France’s moves, this one in particular took me by surprise.
In your concern with your own domestic troubles with truth (which no doubt are the real cause of your aggressive acts against pacific foreign nations; nothing like an external enemy to unite the people behind the government, eh?) you apparently missed the French announcement of the discovery of large new deposits of surprise in the Pyrenees. While the exploitation of these deposits has not yet gathered full steam, the spot price on the Paris Bourse fell by 30%.

Seconded. I’m not much of a player myself, but would love to read about who deceived whom when.

Oh, and I know that this game is ahistorical enough that this really shouldn’t bug me, but… the League of Nations? In 1901? Really? :)
I need something to be General Secretary of!

I like the graphics indicating the new builds. It’s like they suddenly materialize into existence, teleported in from somewhere.

I really like the newspaper headlines. I was planning on doing something similar, but similar payoff for no effort is rather welcome!
Updated.
Very well done with the headlines!
