Advanced Hellenistic Era NES - Part 2

Rome to Northern Greek cities

The only ones responsible for this sudden change-in are the Magna Graecian and the Macedonian general leading them. We are only protecting ourselves. If you are indeed as friendly and peace-loving as you say you are then you should have accepted our proposal without any doubts of our motives.

You have yourselves shown not to be trustworthy. Therefore you have become a liability. Dont blame us for what was bring to us by foreigners.

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.

Make it 7 and you've got a deal. The Egyptian are paying 9 for the same stuff, so I believe our offer is reasonable.

Northern Greek cities to Rome
Excuse me, what?
You demanded our annexiation and threatened with war!

In other News
I have added the road network to the map, so it´s easier to see what has been done and what still needs attention.
Also the two Wonders ("Guardian of the West", "Pyramids") have been added to the map.

Yes, but the Egyptians are filthy rich people, plus they need more of iron than we do...
Six is the highest we could go. Take it or leave it...

Only because we wanted to see your reaction. I must say we were pretty disappointed for your lack of perspective.


Rome to Sparta

Deal.

OOC:

Awesome!

OOC: Micha, I see "Tourism" listed among Macedonia's income. How did they manage that one?

Macedonia to Rome and the Northern Greek cities :


Aesop's fable of the three little boys--

There once was a little boy named Macedonia. He had two good friends, who were also good friends of each other, named Rome and Magna. One day, a bully name Pyrrhus came along, and tripped Magna, who fell on Rome. Magna and Rome started yelling at each other, and were very angry, and began fighting. At this time, Macedonia pointed out that it was an accident, and tempers had gotten the better of everyone, and this bickering and shoving weren't really necessary. Magna and Rome began flinging accusations at each other, and Macedonia, very irritated, saw no choice but to beat some good sense into the rotten little twerps, dear to him as they were. This of course solved nothing, and all three friends began fighting, and were unhappy, and bully Pyrrhus laughed and stole their toys while they were busy fighting their friends.

We don't think we need to point out the moral of the story. Come on, Pyrrhus is the enemy here, let's forget everything else and get rid of him and his army of thugs.

The olympic games!
Also Athens is attracting many people because of its philosophers and schools; Carthage will have that too for its wonder, and once your nation is stabilized Egypt might also become a destination for wealthy travellers...

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

We regret to inform you that we will not be able to reimburse you for any losses due to piracy. The iron is not ours until we've paid for it at Tanys, and the grain is yours when you buy it at Tanys. However, we have confidence that Rome will adequately protect its merchant fleets and this will be irrelevant.

[Tassadar500]

When will the update be? I'm trying to see when I should finish my orders.

[Micha]

Monday. Though I cannot promise anything, I think Monday will be doable...

[Tassadar500]

I should have it in tomorrow then.

[appleciders]

I'd better get to plotting then.

[Micha]

Erm, after sighting my examination plan, Monday becomes impossible. Having an exam on Monday 18:00 (6pm) and one on Tuesday 8:30...

But Tuesday noon sounds perfectly fine
So no hurry, no worry

[appleciders]

OK, sounds good, Micha.
