We don't know if you play any kind of game, but Dibshiya has REAL buildings, they are purple now and we won't repaint them when Pharaoh asks but after we accumulate gold for the paints and after the prices on the market will be advantageous.The keeper of Dibshiya is still Minoan but the city has been sold to Babylon.
It looks like The Immortal believes that if he repeats lies long enough, they will turn into truths. As anyone with eyes can see, Egyptian forces are RETREATING while those of Babylon are ADVANCING. Apparently Babylon's ruler fears for the safety of the Egyptian inhabitants of Tell Harriri and seeks to rescue them from the threatening Egyptian Chariots.
We caaan 't ... spe ... akk ... because all the Babylonian establishment is LOL.Which units are threatening Tell Hariri? The horse you mentioned on your picture and that would need to travel 8 miles in order to be able to attack Tell Hariri and to be beaten by your spearman?
But yes, if Egypt don't stop its provocations and is not willing to get a convention about security measures then Babylon will be ready to engage in similar actions like Egypt and to send Chariots near Egyptian cities.

You should not accuse 5 Kings of blindness.
Yes, as per the usual Babylonian method of negotiating - "Here is the way it shall be". Egypt did not accept this dictate from the South then, and especially does not accept it now.
We didn't dictate our security zones, but we proposed them and stated that 'Egypt has full right to decline the security zone, but this will have a bad impact on Eg-Bab relationship, except you provide a good reason for the rejection'. And this all only after 4 Egyptian mesages in which Egypt tried to conceal his units in Babylon.
In opposite Egypt is violating a valid Bab-Egyptian agreement about borders and is 'dictating' new 'agreements'.
To reduce the possibility of hostilities, we would be willing to discuss the addition of a DMZ on either side of that line. This offer is eminently fair and reasonable, and any King of the Alliance is invited to contrast it with the blatant territory grab shown in the Babylonian-provided map.
The 'territory grab' is based on a writing on a high-class papyrus in a strongbox lubricated by a very distasteful oil. Only change was we gave up a ford that is nearest to Tell Hariri in order to assure peace for its citizens.Land
We are repeating there is no way we would give up a part of Babylonian territory. There are three reasons:
1) The new Babylonian land was liberated by our armies. Similarly we don't ask Egyptian land (Tell Hariri for example).
(And we must remind that during The Great War we provided full info about advancement of our units including maps and an information that there is a Minoan fleet preparing an attack against Tell Hariri. Then suddenly Tell Hariri was taken by Egyptians).
2) There is a circle of Babylonian cities Dibshiya-Negru-Hekallush-Hourigalzur-Zibbar (we encourage Pharaoh to look in maps offered by Babylon during the war). So the line Dibshiya-Zibbar is an area of a large importance for Babylonian security.
Similarly we understand the land around Mari is very important for Egypt. This is why we didn't want to claim any land west from Dibshiya. But if Pharaoh hangs on his 'distance from city rule' we will be ready to send units to the Plains that are 4 squares from Mari, Tell Hariri and Dibshiya.
3) There is a valid agreement about he borders between Babylon and Egypt.
Security measures
We are repeating we are ready to talk with Egypt about security zones of both civilization (i.e. to be informed about foreign units near his cities and to be allowed to decline too strong or too numerous units).
The security zones of both civilizations can overlap and we can even agree with some limited kind of security zones that would overlap over Bab territory.
Gzhu-gzhu waits...
Hittite Envoy accidently sent back to Hatta. Apologies to Hatta for the incident were sent imediately by the fastest ships. 
I don't see any save file attached...
One of those days.......Sorry
is good for business.
I don't understand one thing: in the Hittite save there is a Persian Bronze Infantry one tile south from Adab. This would be a very surprise for Babylon since I have a no scouting policy with Persia.
