The Way to Rome

I'm sure the Celts will help you should the Greeks attack.

Rome, to Masuro, 320 BC

[marcuspeddle]

I have found some lads from Numidia who have agreed to help defend Persia in exchange for gold and ivory. This frees up my immortals to wreak vengence on anyone foolish enough to attack.

[Paddy]

and back to Persia we go

thank you for your tech offer

I can send construction in 4 turns if that is of any good?

[marcuspeddle]

Let's make a deal at that time.

[Paddy]

ok

Rome, to Masuro, 310 BC

[marcuspeddle]

The Persian people regret to announce that progress cannot wait for the primitive Romans. We have learned the secrets of construction from your more enlightened neighbours.
For 500 gold, however, I would be willing to send some generals to teach you new Tactics.

Rome, to Masuro, 305 BC

[marcuspeddle]

Ah, it is great to be the king of Persia.

The goths... indeed

[marcuspeddle]

Despite my best diplomatic efforts, those people will just not make a fair bargain. They may regret this in the future.

The Macedons are expending and sending galleys all over the Med

Have you had much contact with Carthage yet?

[marcuspeddle]

Hannibal is a good friend of mine. We have tea together every third month.

[Paddy]

yes a friend is he? well he and I are having a little problem in Scily. and his elephants... well they sure do mess up the beaches.

looks like a small interaction will take place there soon. then hopefully we can get back to some happy days

my commanders claim it will be some time before we can fix the scilian issue.... so no need to bother your mate at this time

personally I have asked that they expedite this matter...
