[Deep voice: And now for a brief pre-view for our next session, over to our commentators for next session – mr D. Evil and mr D. Emon – yours truly, our most hated – Damien & Damien!]
[Audience cheers]
D.Evil: Welcome back to Hell-tv!
D.Emon: Tonight we will follow the next episode of the battle of humans [*spits on the floor*] on planet X59487F.
D.Evil: As you might remember, a bunch of “humies”…
[Audience: Boooooooooooooooooooo!]
D.Evil: …fights for the title of “King of Newbies” or something like that.
D.Emon: Like that is something to fight for.
D.Evil: True. *shrughs*
D.Emon: Anyway, a new session is coming up.
D.Evil: What did you think of the last session?
D.Emon: Last sessions was not bad.
D.Evil: I agree. Some nice wars, but only one loooonngg baaaaaaaaad war.
D.Emon: Got to admire the Poles who kept on fighting! Thats a lot of blood there!
[Audience chants: Blood, blood, blood!!!]
D.Evil: Any other wars?
D.Emon: Well, first we had a war between Ottoman Empire and Venice vs. Austria and company.
D.Evil: Yeah, Austria got stomped. Ouch.
D.Emon: Yeah, the un-holy alliance....
D.Evil: Which is soooooooooo goood... Yummie, un-holy.....
D.Emon: Right!
[D.Emon & D.Evil: Muhahahahahahah….]
D.Evil: Anyway, the alliance between Ottoman Empire and Venice is strong. However, when they have feasted upon Austria and maybe Spain, where will they turn next?
D.Emon: You mean, there might be a war between some old "friends"? A war between the former members of the un-holy alliance?
D.Evil: Yeap.
D.Emon: That is just soo bad. I like it.
D.Evil: You like that? Wait, then I have something better for you and all our viewers!
D.Emon: Tell us!
D.Evil: We had a backstab last session!
[Audience cheers]
D.Emon: A backstab……
[Deep voice whispering: Backstab……..]
[Audience, excited: More, more, more…..]
D.Evil: Yes. The Netherland didnt help their master Austria, instead they broke the vassalship and hit Austria in the back!
D.Emon: A-b-s-e--lu-t-e-l-y l-o-v-e-l-y
D.Evil: Damien, you mean baaaaad - this is after all – Hell-tv!
[Audience laughts..…]
D.Emon: Right you are. So what is going to happen next session?
D.Evil: Hard to tell. We’re hoping for some more nasty wars!
D.Emon: Tell us more!
D.Evil: Well, northen Europe is kind of crowded. A lot of people seems to have an interest in some north-german provinces.
D.Emon: Poor Brandenburg.
D.Evil: Bah, beating on a weak one is just what we like!
D.Emon: True you are!
D.Evil: But didnt England say something about helping Brandenburg?
D.Emon: I think so. That means another force that meddles into Germany. Great. The more warlords in on place, the more battles - and above all - much looting and plunder!
D.Evil: Sweet music to my ears!
D.Emon: But that might leave the Netherlands all squeesed in between England and Brandenburg.
D.Evil: Could do, could do. Interesting.
D.Emon: Who will they ally?
D.Evil: Hard to tell. Sweden? England? France? Or even Austria?
D.Emon: Exiting times.
D.Emon: What else?
D.Evil: Well, as it looks, France has made a turn - over and has allied Spain.
D.Emon: Didnt they have a fight last session?
D.Evil: True. Ahhhh, alliance changing all the time. Like it.
D.Emon: Right you are. But hey, what is Sweden up to with Denmark? No annexation yet?!?
D.Evil: Sources say that Sweden tried but failed. Look, Denmark is not a vassal of Sweden anymore.
D.Emon: Ahhh, well maybe we will see some AI-bashing then. Maybe just not Sweden wants a peace of Denmark.
D.Evil: Yeah, I have seen other countries cast an eye on Denmark. Could be, could be.
D.Emon: Russia then?
D.Evil: Bah, the Russian hordes seems to focus on the Poles. However, wonder if or when the alliance between Russia and Sweden will last?
D.Emon: You mean?
D.Evil: Well, when Sweden has feasted upon Denmark and Russia has given the Poles a hell - I mean heaven - what happens then?
D.Emon: Good question. Over to Spain then. Any ideas?
D.Evil: Hard to tell. He has some.... strained.... finances now. Bah, nothing seems to happen there. France then?
D.Evil: Hmmmm..... Not against Spain. Austria? The Netherlands? England?
D.Emon: Or just be at peace?
D.Evil: That is so baaaaaad!
D.Emon: Right, Damien. Just like Portugal.
[Audience: Booooooooooooo.........]
D.Evil: Which is disgusting.
D.Emon: Right, Damien, absolutely disgusting.
[Deep voice: This is, after all, Hell-tv. We will be back shortly, after the commercials….]
