i believe i spelled it the way you guys did, might just be bordello.
We have camps and villages surrounding you (at a good 20 min river distance) and we claim and control the entire supergrid.
But interaction with you guys have been on super ignore, simply because of a lack of contact.
Now that we have an imperial outpost quickly building up over there close to you, we need to meet, as we are in your water network, and likely those guys will be interacting with you.
what are you're intentions in regards to peace?
We met a village that claims they have interacted with you peacefully few times. so friend of a friend, we wont expect to assimilate your village into the empire.
new edit; update on our status with them
Bordel,
You have become hostile at the Erehwon Village, unprovoked.
You have that right, no argument here.
However the enemy you decided to make wasn't the unfortunate player Bog that you murdered.
Nor was it the small quiet village of Erehwon he lived in.
You waged war against the outpost-state, representing the ToH-Empire in that area.
We happily accept your need for a new major conflict;
All the villages within the empire have been drooling with a bloodlust.
You have broken a boring peaceful silence i have been otherwise unable to satisfy to my people during these last several weeks. Due to the fact that we have expanded to our goals, and were living comfortably quiet since.
To all those nearby settlements that interact with Bordel;
We have not met you, nor had we planned to ever expand the imperial territory in your direction.
It is unfortunate that you have been taken into this conflict by your friends at bordel.
But in answer to this attack, we are claiming the area you all live in as our own now.
Carefully consider how you welcome us to the area.
If you deny the empire's move upon Bordel, then i suggest you pack you're boats for battle, and meet with them at their walls to assist.
We wont spend time listening to the mudslinging heroes and liberators. If you are offended by this campaign, then your place should be at their side, not sitting in a chair in your village, threatening from across the world.
Bordel, The empire will make an example of you for all nearby hearthlings.
We will raze your homeland, and PAINT THE FUCKING GRIDS WITH YOU'RE BLOOD!
