  • Perhaps you should send your remaining fleet on some kind of expedition, so they don't get into any more trouble. Just a friendly suggestion.
    Are they casuing you trouble? I only read the part of the sorty that pertained ot Egypot and Persia, and of course, scanned for parts where I could make crafty deals with opponents/comrades.
    I'll tell you what, I vie you some food, a few tlaents, and I send my guys on a littel expidition to confrim wetehr or not the earth is flat, and you let Persia have control of the town of Phasis.

    • Macedonia to Persia :

      As we listed before, the price is 582 talents, however because we have already invested money in it, the price is now 642 talents, plus regular shipments of food.
      Actually comrade, that was only for the Egyptian lands. This is Phasis. If you look on the map, it is a very small Macedonian encampment in Northern Persia. You never set a price on that. We are being generous.
      Be realistic, you could actually use the food, and the extra talents to help you with you food problem. The food donations will help you last long enough, to use our talents, in conjunction w/ a few of your own, to do something about your unfortunate situation. In the process, you end up having to feed less people, so it is yet another thorn out of your side. We promise not to d oanyting nasty to the people of Phasis, we just want our land, and we a re willing to reasonably bargain with you.

      • Macedonia to Persia :

        No, the Phoenicians are not causing us trouble any more, we just hope you keep them under control.

        Concerning Phasis--

        We never set a price for all of Egypt, because we never held all of Egypt. We have always been talking about Phasis.
        Origionally we were going to sell it to you in exchange for you withdrawing the Phoenician pirates, but they refused your command so that deal was off. We then set the price to 582 talents to compensate for the losses to our fleet that was caused in large part by the Phoenician pirates that you failed to control. You didn't take us up on our offer (we didn't really expect you to, but then, any lower price would be unfair to us) so we began building a city, investing 60 talents and our stakes in the food problem. Thus our previous offer stands : 642 talents, plus regular shipments of food. We don't see how you can pay this sum, be we really cannot accept any less.
        Those walls are absent of glory as they always have been. The people of tents will inherit this land.

          You are welcome to take over Carthage!

          May your wise rule lead to a prospering empire that stretches from Spain to Persia Egypt!

          Btw: The map is available up to Britannica (as a whole), I just cut it as long as nobody uses the upper parts to save space and loading time

            I see a little misunderstanding here...
            Persia is talking about Phasis, a small harbour on the south-eastern coast of the Black Sea.
            Macedonia is talking about Pharos, an area in Northern Egypt and thus the location of Alexandria/Alexandrograd.

            Hope this helped

              One thing I always wonder, why do you only use your income?
              You do know that you could spend your treasury PLUS your income? Just wondering...

              • Orders from Carthage are in.

                    From: Carthage

                    Listen carefully, you have two choices now. The first, is to submit to Carthage. We would put you under our military protection, and you would serve as your own province. You would have complete independence, except your military and the tax you would pay to us, in exchange for safety. The second, is to go to war with Carthage, and surely lose. That is all.

                      From: Carthage

                      We gave Egypt a fine deal. Back down from what? You should be telling Egypt that. But, we got off on the wrong foot. I propose this: Carthage and Athens align, and make two universities together. One in Carthage, one in Athens.

                          I spent a lot of the moolah thta I had, all but 20 talents as I rmeember. Are you saying I should bankrupt myself each turn?

                            The original Egypt invasion was a cooperative effrot between Egypt and Persia. If anything, you should ally with us. Many of the Egyptian lands are still roiginally Persian, if you wish to continue our cooperative eeofrt, we will consider helping you.
                            We have a great strategy of sandwiching this country, it works much better if we work together to subjugate them. If you wish to continue with this proven strategy, then we will but seeing how it is your bidding this time, we will require the donation 5 triremes, or at least a few talents os that we can build triremes.
                            It is a small donation, but if we are going to be going into a war, then we need a larger Navy to control itself, so that we won't have problems with our fleet again going out on their own expeditions of Piracy.

                              So be it. We will talk later then.

                              To: Persia
                              From: Carthage

                              We don't wish to go to war with Egypt, but if we must, we must. If that happens, Carthage wants to go alone. It has nothing to do with Persia, and we wish to be friendly to you, but we would reject the help of any nation, except in the form of military units, and talents.

                              • oops. Thanks Micha. sorry about that bp

                                Macedonia to Persia :

                                Our translators made an error, which has now been pointed out. We would be happy to sell you Phasis for a few talents and grain. Of course, we feel that it is only fair to point out that you already control it...
