Uh... I guess it depends on how many rebel-samnite children you capture.

Remember, by mobilizing the Faith (and exhausting their resources), you get 4 extra militia dn 2 extra ep to use. This will cause some trouble with your economy... but we have the plague so why not?

You can have a 6ft tall wooden palisade? Why don't you just keep using your wall of flesh?

The more you spend, the better it would be.

It would cost about 3EP for 2-walls+citadel and garrison for 1 city. Or you can spread it out for a different affect.

No more changes got it, but the blockade is on Africa right? Besides, I've been warring for the past three or so turns now, would like a change for once.

You also have 2 banked, but thats another story

Yes. I take you want Iberia better than North Africa (and sail right through their blockade.)

I'm UPDATING NOW SO NO MORE CHANGES but personally, I would have used my massive army to crack down on the penals instead of spending money on glorified civilians.

You still forgot yeh upkeep. You have to pay it by your own initiative. No matter, i'm udating now and watch as your grand army starves!

You know, I could have left you high and dry, allowed them to capture your Southern Colonization Fleet, Liberate Samnia and conquer all the way to Novalin, but noooo, I had to warn you.

Probably. You are being invaded, from the south. Now shoo, and write another set of orders!

As for the Galbatorix, you are holeing up most of your resources while sending some troops out to slow them them (after all, your generals would still march out and try to stop the invadors, no matter how lovingly your clutch your troops in your hands)

You forgot some upkeep, boy.

It's up to you. You can try this turn... you can try whenever you want. I'll see whether it fails or no. If he did something stupid and it affected you (like, say, funding another religion) you might get support from Greeks who like the "Dual Citizenship" thing you have going on, and then, you might not.

When you finally make your move, please justify it in your orders in a speech-like style. Then I can post it in the update and talk about its consequences.

Sorry if I didn't make it clear. Samnia is "Vassalized" while Pyrrhus is allied. And all three have equal rights within this region, which might or might not boast trade (depending on your actions.) However, while the Duke of Samnia has to follow you, and can only rebel/seek aid if you do something really stupid and he sees a chance for the throne, he is just a larger-than-normal noble. Pyyrhus is still proud of their independnece, have a retinue of Spartan Guards, and was looking for allies to convince Thloryn to back off. Conveniently, they also wanted trade, so they accepted the Greater Valyrian Community idea of yours. the King of Pyyrhus, unlike the Duke of Samnia, has his own agenda.

Depending on how you play the cards. King Tatius is now Duke (whatever), but he is an important local leader for Samnia under the King of Sarkov and Valyria. (The almost-Orange black on the map). Pyrrhus still wants to have flexibility in it's affairs now, but it really depends on your actions.
Examples: how do you treat them? How do you treat your own citizens? How much do your foreign policy goals match theres?
When you're ready, you can either go public by asking Pyrrhus to join you, or do it in your orders and allow yourself to balance/unbalance the factors. Asking privately won't do much because they still need to be announced.

Oh, ok. They'll still be seperate but be allied. "PermaAlliance" sortof similiar to CIV.
They still have ties with Ctesiphod and stuff, so watch out.

The Latter. Not really sure what you want when you said "welcome to the fold". So that's one interpretation. They're not going to join you yet.

Just so it is clear, you two are in an alliance. If you want to go the German Unification route of manufacturing a crisis, go ahead.

Orders due please buddy ol' pal

Check the Coalition Group please.

You kinda voted for the wrong party, We are with the isolationists.

I know you are busy but
