Baron Ozzy.

Yuor failure to respond to the Grece terms of peace mean we will hav enot other precourse but to remove your forces from Greek lands and return the greek cities to Greece leadership.

Your nation will suffer the consequences of failing to return to status quo.

Old friends or new friends

As promised, all Arabian troops have left Greek lands.

[Byzantium (DoC)]

The world moves so quickly around Byzantium. People spouting words and not waitnig to hear responses. People who are interested merely in the sound of their own voices.

Rip van Greekle of Greece

I appreciate your careful, thoughtful words as what I know is a terrible time for your nation. We too have been invaded, three times, and have lost cities.

You are mistaken through when you suggest that the Byzantine army mobilied during the Incan-Egyptian war. Check back the records, my friend. You will see no threasts from Byzantium to invade or aid any side in that war. Indeed, the only threats I remember were made, once again, my the Bullies of Korea. Similarly, my friend, look to the North. Both Byzantium and Persia have refrained from involving ourselves in the Turkish-Russian war. Byzantium is consistent in its policy of not using its military might to bully the weaker nations of this world. Some nations follow this same morality. Some do not. I do not blame you for looking for strong friends. But Byzantium's refusal to threaten invasion and deploy troops in these wars is consistent. But we will support the weak if threatened by those whose power means they should know better.

I did not threatenen you privately or publicly. What I said in correspondance to both you and Arabia was that you should find peace because if world war erupts around you, it would be your land which was destroyed by the world powers trampling all over it. That was a simple statement of fact, as well as an encouragement for both parties to find peace. I am glad you have.

The settler you question started I believe from Thessalonica and is on the quickest route possible to the south western Roman ports. Where you will remember the Romans independently and without prompting verified a transport is waiting. The settler has travelled on its course - I am sure some in Arabian, England or Rome will be able to verify its current location.

I understand my neighbour that you are traumatised by what has happened to you. But in time you will review the facts rather than believe the rantings of others, and will see that Byzantium has had nothing to do with this war whatsoever.

General Hulk of England

While I disagree with your policy of intervention, I recognise that you have a legitimate interest in this war since with me you are a neighbour of Greece. I am shocked though that you let the morons of Korea speak for you. English diplomacy has long been respected - I fear for you if you let this policy continue. I will gladly travel to discuss our continents security with you.

Lords of Korea

You make me sick. For millenia all we heard from Korea was whinning about the power of the powerful in this world. And now, you have recently threatened invasion of the Inca and the Arabs when they engaged in wars against nations their own size. Truly you are nothing but a bully. A coward who finds himself strong compared to some, and can't resist ponsing about showing off their strength frightening the children. Never have you actually had the courage to pick a fight with soemone your own size. No you whine about the powerful but then exploit every last bit of power you have. Of course you haven't even had the courage to commit a single solider to confict ever in your history. Like all cowards you just shout loudly. While I rejoice to see the Arabs and Greeks finding peace, I am saddened by one thing - the fact that we will have to cancel the sweepstake of nations, which has already had much interest - over whether you would ever commit any troops, and if you did how long it would be until they were exterminated. Currently most nations think you are all talk and would never do anything anyway. Sadly it seems we will not get a chance to find out.

You call me 'friend'. Yes we have had good relations over recent years until you threatened the small nation of the Inca, the first victim of your bullying, with destruction. But Byzantium does not commit evil for anyone, friend or not. We will not sign up to a pact of powerful nations who take it as their right to bully the weak, to remove their independence, to reduce them to vassals, to decide where they can expand, to control them with laughable offers of overseas territories when we all know the southern continent is full. Yes we would value friendship but we will die alone untainted rather than celebrate with others while we trample on the weak. Friends. We will see. The world is changing. Changing because of many nations disgust in your actions. Many nations see your love of bullying those weaker than you, see your willingness to engage in diplomacy at the end of the barrel of a gun. One day my 'friend' you will find others more powerful than you deciding to pick on you, and let us then see you crying foul. We can but hope that with the death of Alfred Deakin the Korean nation will find its morality once more.

Justinian of Byzantium

[Persia (DoC)]

this is a story about Media

---

Farza reads old Arabian letter While going through Beli'Az archives, Farza discovered an old letter from the Arabs. It was barely paid attention to. A small response letter was documented as well. It read: "Arabia is strong. Greece is weak and stands in our way. We cite the law of Hastog to justify our actions. We call upon the proud and noble nation of Media and to defend Arabia's right to invade Greece. We recognize your nation as strong and powerful. All nations fear you! If you tell Britannia to revoke their demand to attack us they will obey. Demonstrate your power and might, bring the Korea into line. All nations will tremble and bow before you. Arabia promises to PAY. Baron Ozious, Regent of Arabia " "Korea again... always Korea..." Farza shaked his head. Then he ordered the well prepared fleet to sail to the south again. The fleet was completely ready since it was only pulled from the Russian/Ottoman waters weeks ago. Well defended by Frigates and Ships of the Line, and well occupied with Grenadiers and Canons, the Median fleet once again sailed into the Oceans"

[India (DoC)]

India has no interest in the conflict of Greece and Arabia, but we are watching the events and thought we'd set some facts right:

-Byzantine troops did intervene on Egypt's side during the Inca's attack, we have proof of that-We don't blame them defending their friends-but why denying, why being two-faced?
The Answer become clear when we see what is Byzantium interest in the Arabian-Greek war. The marvelous Greek culture always bothered the culturally not so advanced Byzantium, this war is a good opportunity for them to ease the pressure. Though they must help Arabia from the shadows if they want to avoid the intervention of other big powers, who would come to help selflessly the defenceless Greek. That's why they deny their part in the Egyptian war: Neutrality is their best argument to let the Byzantine upgraded Arabian troops wreak havoc on Greece's land.
That is what they are the best in, manipulating from the shadows.. they are doing now, they did in the Inca-Egypt conflict and they did during the invasion against England too.. just to open your eyes...

PS:
This world is heading to its own destruction fast.. follow the Sha'Tao and pray to Sha'tur before it's too late!!

More Greek lies. The Camel Archers who assaulted Greece are not Cataphracts. The Byzantines ride horses! Arabs ride camels! You cannot "upgrade" a camel into a horse! The primitive Greeks believe in strange forces of alchemy to be sure! Were such an "upgrade" not against the laws of nature, why would we? Horses are weak and die in the desert, what good would they be for our Bedouin riders?

[Korea (DoC)]

Korea will await an apology from Justinian for his comments directed at us or we wil lbe forced to change our bleeive that peace is the way.

We hav ebeen offended by Justinina for the last time.

[Orb (DoC)]

Time is up Arabs!! You will not give back what you took so now I take for myself. But You still have time to surrender. give up now or be prepaired to lose your holy city forever!!!

Korea is interested in negotiaitng a vassal state....

We had suspected all along that Britannia had designs on the Greeks. We simply moved in first before they could strike. Now they express their true greed and intend to take our recently acquired Greek city and keep it for themselves!

Arabia and Greece are but small pitiful nations, but Britannia is a bully threatening, invading, and stealing from small nations like Arabia and Greece.

Will anyone come to our aid?

Tell whatever lies you wish. I will not get into I fight of words with you but before you continue on I want you to know something. For every turn and Lie oyu tell I will invade one Arab city then gift it to Greece. I will pillage all of your lands and take your workes as my slaves until you are left with less then nothing. Unless you give back the cities you took from Greece within the next 2-5 turns. Do this not and your entire nation will fall before anyone could even try to help you.
