Macedonia to Athens and Egypt and anyone else who sent us messages:

Please be patient. We will answer, but we need some other things cleared up first.

[appleciders]

Egypt to Persia:
We've noticed a certain lack of grain in your lands. We'd be willing to trade 10 talents\turn grain for 10 talents\turn of your cattle. Is this acceptable?

I'm not sure I'm clear on the trade system...Even though I have only one, for example, fish resource, can I sell it to another nation without a decrease in my stats? If so, to how many other nations can I sell to before it has an effect on my country?

OOC: Just don't be ridiculous in your exploitation of it. Selling huge quantities of fish to everybody isn't going to work, and Micha will tell you if you're going overboard. If you want to export more, invest in the resource, like the money I've put towards grain so I can export more of it. At least, that's my understanding.

I wanted to include the amounts produced, but then I would also have had to include the amounts needed, and then I´d have to calculate fractals when determining the effect of importing 56% of the needed amount on your economy... Too much work, at least for the exam time right now.

If someone has a better idea, don´t hesitate to tell me about it. I was thinking about a civ3 system, where one ressource was kept to oneself, while an additional one of the same type may be exported to another country.
However there would be problems like Crete needing as much grain as the entire Persian empire...

[SIZE=1]Egypt to Bosporian Greeks:
We'd like to begin importing your furs and timber. We'd like to start by importing 4 talents\turn furs and 4 talents\turn timber. We'd also like to offer you the chance to import our paper.

We are most honoured your merchants offer that much of a demand!
Epect our trade vessels to Tanys soon.
Long live the Pharao!

We wish to purchase honey from you. For what amount would you say?

Most excellent! We can provide up to 5t/turn!

To: Lydia
From: Carthage

We are already being supplied fur from the Romans, so how about 7 talents for pottery?

Sounds good. We have a deal then.

[Micha]

Magna Graecia to world
We need to inform you that any action helping the Romans is a threat to us. We therefor announce the Roman waters warzones. We will intercept ANY shipping in this area, regardless of nations involved.
Please don´t force us to worsen our mutual relations by forcing us to sink your trade vessels...

[Micha]

According to good sources, Egypt has been granted an own fish ressource. The infrastructure rating has been downed to counter the effect of the new ressource and to better resemble the destruction the recent wars have caused in Lower Egypt.

From: Carthage

Just trade to the city Cyrene, and then we will transport it from there. That way, you can go around Magna Graecia.

To: Lydia
From: Carthage

We have a deal.

Carthage is now receiving pottery and honey.

Rome to the World

Theres no need to worry. Our navy will destroy the Greek pirates. Any assistance is welcome though.

Rome to Macedonia

Your proposal is interesting. What do the Northern cities respond?

[laurentius]

Rome to Egypt

Would you be interested in Roman timber? It is exellent material for shipbuilding


Rome to Sparta

We are very interested to trade Roman iron for your honey. What about you?

[appleciders]

Egypt to Rome: We've already accepted a deal with the Bosporian Greeks to purchase their timber. At the present time, we don't require any of yours. However, should the Bosporian Greeks prove unreliable, we will keep you in mind.

[foolish_icarus]

Macedonia to Northern Greek cities :

It might be advantageous to respond to our proposal.

[Micha]

Adria, Nicaea and Massilia to Macedonia and Rome
Don´t forget it´s been the Romans who have issued the declaration of war. We demand that justice is done. Punish those responsible for the aggression, and we will join this alliance.
However cannot go back to normal as if this incident has never happened. The level of trust, as it was ten years ago, will never be reached again.

Most excellent! Iron makes an otherwise good soldier invincible!
We however don´t have enough honey to supply you, as our small surplus already goes to other nations.
We offer to buy iron at 5 talents / turn.
