VNS entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to pillage everybody else and nobody was going to pillage them.
At Eye of the Storm, Veliidae Bug, XXX-5S and half a hundred other places, they put that rather naive theory into operation.
They sowed the wind and now they are going to reap the whirlwind.
New Stone-3, Ice Stone 6, Sunfuric 3—Those are only just the beginning.
We cannot send a pillaging mission to every VNS city as of yet.
But the time will come when we can do so.
Let VNS take good note of Ikariam's Horizon.
There they will see a cloud as yet no bigger than a man’s hand.
But behind that cloud lies the whole massive power of Lost.
When the storm bursts over VNS, they will look back to the days of ST3 and Ice Stone 6 and Faith as a man caught in the blasts of a hurricane will look back to the gentle zephyrs of last summer.
It may take a year. It may take two.
But for VNS, the writing is on the wall.
Let them look out for themselves. The cure is in their own hands.
There are a lot of people who say that pillaging can never win a war.
Well, my answer to that is that it has never been tried yet, and we shall see.
VNS, clinging more and more desperately to its widespread conquests and even seeking foolishly for more, will make a most interesting initial experiment.
MAFIA will provide the confirmation.
But the time is not yet. There is a great deal of work to be done first, and let us all get down to it.
The War Continues.
