The Arabs urge the noble Iroquois not to give in to Roman deception. Surely they will be next to fall to the Roman armies if their Arab buffer falls, allowing extra Iron into the Roman hands. We will more than match any luxury items they offer in return for good friendship.
Greek leader, please do not worry about the disturbance caused to our civilians by your mighty Calvary scouting our countryside, the unhappy Roman peasants should learn how to live with that and appreciate the days without seeing an army of phalanx.
Caesar will direct Roman army heading towards the capital, hopefully to draw away most of the resistance to leave the border city empty for Iroquois to take.

My companions have strickt orders not to interfere with romans and their lands. They will only patrol the countryside and nothing else.
Iriqoi. To gang up on one civilization, wedged between 2 military powers seems... Cheap. Even for you. We do not appriciate this.

That's why this war is never called noble or honest. We Roman historian will record it as evil and disgrace. But Caesar understands that the winner gets to write the history, so perhaps one day the Roman and Iroquois decedents will forget about the dark ages when they are traveling inside the spaceship.

Oh Great Greek of the expansive east -- perhaps it is difficult for your blessed people to imagine being squeezed into a small corner of our great continent by the relentless march of your neighbors' aggressive expansion. Try harder
and of course, our hemmed in iroqouis nation is always open to business propositions
You didn't see the three fish and horse, did you? That's a nice city location. You can squeeze another city if you settled there.

your argument will find no traction amongst the iroquois -- after prime city locations were peremptorily snatched by the arabs

true enough, I was looking for more in the way of luxes
besides, aren't you supposed to be arguing for me to stay in this evil war?true enough, I was looking for more in the way of luxes
I was trying to argue that Greek CAN have one more city with the land given to them. Same as Roman here, we can have 4 cities, but...
The lux distribution is uneven. Greek has mostly ivory, Roman has mostly gem. Iroquois has mostly dye, but lost one to the Arab so can't supply enough dye to trade. Looking at the diplomatic screen, Arabs have 4 different copies of lux than us, which is so tempting to destroy before they got the bazaar and have camels to run away. Different copies of lux means the war can sustain itself in the happiness front.

good points all
reasoning seems very reminiscent of the logic that led me to declare war on you in another game good points all
Let me guess which one, the small naval Greek-Sweden one?
or the RKH-Roman one?Banman

he could ...
the Iroquois leader would point out to the Roman leader that allies easily bought are easily paid off by others the Iroquois leader is surprised he was allowed to declare peace so soon ...
we hope you enjoyed your purchase of Iroquois wisdom
