Ok.. I'm very sorry for this very late write.
Been sick, lost internet and a full week work. Then there is GenCon coming next Wed. So on top of this, I haven't the internet monies... doomed to the Public Library and it's screwy hours! I'll try to post as often as I can... may take some time doing so in between.
End Budget turn 3: 12 Billion and 870 MillionNow I'll write my responses to the questions and posts I see...
2374: Yeah.... I can work this in.
Note that this offer is only open to the realms immediately bordering the Hegemony - the Marians, ...are not able to take advantage of this proposal at the current time. (Sorry Truetanker)
Boo! Hiss!MH: $12B, as increased tax revenue from Lothario makes up for the loss of loot.
Cha..ching!Would you like to know more?

Story arc:
Marian Action News Network ( MANN )
Vatnajökull, Lothario
Marian Hegemony Embassy
MANN Reporter in a parka reporting ~ " It's been a few years since the Legios of Marian Hegemony came and conquered the Lothian League. Conquered may be a strong word as you can see... " pointing to some red writing on the wall of a building. "
Non Victoria! Victory, No!, Such strong words for a little bit of fame. But what is victory? And at what cost, the Imperator declined to comment. In other news the new arrival of the Alphard was seen as more of a political move than not, only time will tell. Departing Lothario, Vi left with two of the Scahpa I's she came with along with a Trojan. Pride of Lothario still berths over the capital. This is Marian Action News Network on Lothario reporting.
