By his own admission, the ruler of Babylon has acknowledged that he agreed to Egyptian scouting of the area south of the Euphrates "to include Zibbar". How he can take offense at the position of our units in that area is quite a mystery.
As to the unit north of the Euphrates, indeed it was not supposed to be there. However, in the period following the end of the war, Pharoah has learned that General Mekret took advantage of the opportunity to scout areas empty of Babylonian cities. Perhaps one day those lands will be occupied. For now they are not. Egypt has long been a nation of explorers and that is all we are doing. There is absolutely nothing in that region which could possibly be considered "threatened" by these weak units.
In fact, the extremely paranoid reaction of the Babylonians has now caused doubts to grow in Egypt about their allegedly peaceful intentions. Accordingly, the Babylonian Leader may consider previous verbal, good faith agreements on territorial distribution in the region to be null and void. For the first time, Pharoah finds himself listening to advisors who proclaim the need for a security zone of our own between Babylon and Egypt.
We will begin withdrawing Egyptian units from the area immediately near Babylonian cities, and propose that the future borders be set at points equidistant between the existing Babylonian and Egyptian cities in the Mesopotamian region. Anything less than this will not provide the security which Egypt suddenly realizes it now needs.
With just a little good will - an understanding that an Ally is not a Threat - the Babylonian leader could have avoided this unhappy outcome. Perhaps his massive security zones will bring the same peace of mind that would have come from having a friendly neighbor.

Yes, now I understand how silly I was. I surrender. But I am asking a right to keep Zibbar and three squares around (including three squares of the river).
Gzhu-gzhu? Do you play with the governmental communication system again?? Clear off!
