The Greek people submit to the Assyrians demand in principle, perhaps your scouts could give us an indication of where the Great Bow Valley actually is?

Roman scouts have returned with news of possible slaver use by Assyria. The Emperor has made a statement that no slavers of any nation will be tolerated on Roman lands, and if found, they will be publicly executed.

Turn 11 Creator,

Cr: So be it, then we are at war.

To all:

Following extensive rioting the Greek people have been led to a higher plane of existence. Today Cardinal Rowick I was annointed head of the Greek Orthadox faith and all of Greece.

"As my first act in office I can a holy crusade upon the evil Assyrian devil worshippers. I call on all of Gods children throughout the world to prevent the spread of their evil by smiting their kind, burning their farms and dismantling their roads. May their evil be redemend in the mines and at the end of the whips that they so love. Let it be so that the Assyrians cower behind their wall while travel through their own lands are denied to them. So let it be written, so let it be done."

Another War so soon! Noble Greeks are you wise to put down the plough and pick up the sword?

I apologise to my neighbours, the mighty Assyrians, but due to your unwillingness to exchange Maps I have absolutly no idea as to the position of the Greek's and so am unable to offer any assistence.

Grand Patriarch Jon

Turn 12--> Rowick

Once again the dogs of war are let loose.

Two such mighty lands might do better, as the esteemed Patriarch Jon has suggested, to find some means of peaceful settlement then to try and drag the rest of the world into a World War.

And where would such a war lead us? Think of the terrible weapons that technology have given us...the spear, the bow, the arrow. Many of us have grown fierce in the art of equine combat. Are these frightening breakthroughs to be used by man against man? Would we not be better off to use our steeds to assist us in our farming, and see our young men with their families, instead of their legions?

The world is still so young and fresh. Have we already run out of peaceful solutions to our problems? We Romans ask the learned Greeks and the mighty Assyrians try to come to some agreement at the bargaining table.

May the world then return to peace.

Emperor of Rome

Turn 12 -> Creator

The Greek citizens have returned to felling the trees of their forested homes. The lack of irrigatable land will prove a boon during the upcoming times of trouble.

"It seems that the Greek people may not be long upon this world, however with our great industry and with the technology that will come from the Labrynth we will take our damned foes, the Assyrians, down with us. Prepare thy souls, for we are all going to hell."
