Now all ye Players take Note.
In progressing the great game of Empire Deluxe Enhanced Edition, towards a less boring and more courageous enterprise, the great King and Lord of all the Anglo Saxon Territories, and all the territories of the EDEE maplands, I, Ethelred II (known affectionately as the Unready, or bad counsel) DO HEREBY declare universal and neverending war upon all other players. Commencing this great enterprise, and with the element of surprise in such a grand strategy, the brave armies of my kingdom have already INVADED and struck FEAR and AWE into the heartland of Paul the Prudish, commensurate with, the imminent INVASION of the weak and overly extended empire of Python the Pathetic.
BEHOLD, the forward operating base of the GREAT EXPANSION into the Prudish empire!
AND BEHOLD, the MIGHT of the nuclear powered aircraft carrier "Great Muscovy" sailing towards the neolithic settlements of the Pathetic Empire!
