So you might remember that the Gauls had their UU, the oathsworn, set to be finished at the start of this part. Random StrategyWhoever is in charge of peace deals, I want them fired. That's right! We're going for Laos vs Vietnam III! Will the addition of a powerful naval ally be enough for victory this time? Either way, it probably won't stop Malacca from continuing to bully poor little Laos. But then Laos proposed they resume their fight against Vietnam BUT Malacca would join in to help: terms which Malacca accepted. Laos first gave away Thakhek to the Malaccans this gift was ill received and immediately burnt down. Laos have spent most of this part fighting a guerilla war in the jungle against the Malaccans, but have finally come up with a diplomatic solution to this mess. However, when they tried to peace out they were immediately in trouble: Malacca appears to have been enjoying watching the bloodshed and were outraged to hear about the peace deal! So outraged, that they immediately declared war on Laos for their cowardice. In part 2, Laos declared war on Vietnam a second time, which turned out to be another huge waste. Random StrategyIn part 1, Laos declared war on Vietnam, a pointless waste of resources that did nothing but kill a bunch of Laotian elephants for no gains.
