Macedonia to Carthage :

Any disruption of our strategic interests in the region of Egypt (i.e. our crucial trade and soon-to-be-started grain importing) will not be looked upon kindly.

To: Macedonia
From: Carthage

Hello Macedonia,

We wish to have a peacfull relationship with you. Would you like to trade a bit?

[foolish_icarus]

Macedonia to Carthage :

The best way to maintain a peaceful relationship is to not destabilize Egypt. Trade is fine.

[Tassadar500]

Carthage to Macedonia:

We will not destabilize Egypt. We may not even go to war. If we do though, once we win, Egypt will trade with you as promised. Carthage will accomadate you with any losses.

[Tassadar500]

Carthage to Athens:

I know. That is why I said I will give back any losses.

Egypt to Carthage
We just recently ended our war fo independence, so we´ll most certainly not subjugate to another warmongerer again. Too many brave men of the Nile have died to achieve a free Egypt, so we have to decline strongly!

Egypt to Rome, Macedonia, Persia
We need help! The Carthagians are threatening our souvereignity just months after we´ve gained it! Please take any diplomatical means to prevent war!
If it should come to a war, we will fight to our last man. We ask you to join our venture in that case! Egypt shall reward your efforts generously!!!

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...

Our incompetent georaphers!!!!!! Head geographer Dewing will be executed at once fro her grave miscalculation.
We were hoping for Sinope actually.

Any disruption of our strategic interests in the region of Egypt (i.e. our crucial trade and soon-to-be-started grain importing) will not be looked upon kindly.

Persia has strategic interests in Egypt as well, if you distrub these, the Persian nation will have to obviously pick a side. do you really want to deal with the possibility of havin to fight the Persian and Egyptian armies?
I wouldn't, mainly b/c that would mean that my country had revolted, but still consider the question.

We do feel a strong allegiance to you Egypt, we do like the idea of a reward, as long as it isn't some crappy litle plastic pin wheel, nad a pat on the head.
We cannot make any guarantees, but we are leaning toward supporting Egypt.

If anyone is to "win" Egypt, it will be along side the ranks of Persia, many of the Egypotian lands are rightfully Persian.

Don't be foolish, you can give back all the mateirals that you want, but that cannot make up for the freedom of a people, or the lives of those who die fighting for it. Just b/c you replace their losses, does not at all guarantee stability.

OOC: You know, I'm going back to using secret in my messages. It ruins the fun of these games and it's quite unrealistic. It's not like there were TV's in those days

Rome to Carthage

Ave! The senate and people of Rome welcome the regime change in Carthage. I hope our trade continues to flourish.

Vale bene!

Rome to Egypt

Ave! We are sorry but our means are very limited in this matter and we have pressing affairs in the state. So we cant help you right now.

[laurentius]

Rome to Magna Graecia

Ave! We bring bad news. The Elean garrison has joined the honorary legions of Hades. They were perished after fighting with valour against the evil Etruscans. Every soldier was given an honorary burial and a coin was put the their mouth tho pay for the lorry of the Styx river.

Our condolences.

Roman Republic

Trouble at Tuscany


Orders final. Story coming after the next update




Orders

- Spend 50 talents to found the town of Beneventum in Samnia
- Spend 20 talents to build siege machinery, including rams, siege towers, carro-ballistas and catapults.
- Order Legions II, III and IV to siege Perusia, while Legion I is watching their back and conquering the minor towns and villages.

Rome to Ligurian chieftains

Ave! Greetings from the Senate and the People of Rome. Our Italian Republic has long traditions in providing safe havens for those in need. Ligurians are most welcome to join the Republic. Not long ago Rome itself was sacked by the Gallic hordes, hence with great pleasure we will join in your quest to annihilate them. Right now we have some scores to settle with the Tyrrhenoi as the greeks call them, Tusci or Etrusci as we call them or Rasenna as they call themselves or whatever you call them in your language. Maybe you would like to join our campaign agaisnt them in the mean time. That way our military would become more familiar and we could train common tactics later to be used against the Gallians.

Vale Bene!

Carthage to Rome
[VERY SECRET]

Let us be great allies forever. And I mean that. I suggest we start heavy trade to strengthen us both. What about a Military Protection Pact as well? Thank you for considering it.

Carthage to Egypt:
[secret]
We were a bit hasty in our last meeting. We apologize for that. However, here is a deal. In exchange for complete military protection, and training of your military, we ask you give us a certain amount of talents a turn. Do you accept?

Egypt to Carthage [secret]
So you´ll "protect" us in exchange for money? And we suppose their might happen some tragical accidents in case we don´t pay?
Just out of curiousity: How much talents are we talking about?

[Tassadar500]

Carthage to Egypt
[secret]
Yes, that is essentially it, and we will make your military stronger as well, if need be. The amount of talents, depends on how long this protection lasts, and if you want training.
