DCS is foreclosing on NmE cities. NmE is looking for a bailout from an unexpected source, but thats a different speech.
Liberating O55 is going better than expected as NmE is using hillbilly armor and shields. The NmE citizens have revolted in several cities across the ocean. In a humanitarian mission, DCS leaders have demanded "Mr. Hads, tear down those walls"! After 12 hours the revolts get out of hand forcing DCS demo crews into action. Truthfully, they almost fall down on their own. Ever heard of mortar or pulling a permit for inspection??
Conquering so many cities has the job market booming. Unemployment is at an all time low 1.2%. Although the defense contractors do such a good job, we sink our own ships to avoid lay offs.
The market hasn't wavered much at all. Investors can expect a 25% profit margin with the trading villages. Too many transactions in a short period have always resulted in net losses. Having troops ask neighboring cities for donations is still high risk/ high reward, but is encouraged.
*beware* Word has it, Fenix200001 is running a ponzi scheme and hides the proceeds in Swiss Cave accounts!
Radical thinking has eliminated our healthcare issues. Since we stopped serving gravy as a beverage and quit staffing full crews on fire ships, life expectancy has risen by leaps and bounds. The retirement age has been pushed back to the ripe old age of 23 1/2.
I hate to cut this short, but I have a summit meeting on Mount Olympus. Apparently, Zues' bolts are causing global warming and polluting O55 with NmE ships has Poseidon ranting like a mermaid.
Just divide the 200k silver between my cities. I've had my eyes on the new 1263 b.c. chariot with mud flaps.
