ITNES I - An Epoch of Change

[das]

OOC:

they dont need fortification

Then why during the Fourth Transpoenic War the most common order you gave was for your garrisons on assorted tiny islands to fortify?

IC:

From: Ugrians
To: Bulghar Onoghuria

You're confusing us. We don't want such confusing, indecisive rulers.

From: Nadruvia
To: Tarunia

We see it too.

From: Lapps
To: Tarunia

As that is how things had been for centuries now in any case, sure, why not?

 

[Reno]

@Das And the replies from Jutland and Svearland are?

 

[das]

They remain ominously quiet, but this may have something to do with Svearland's extremelly inconvenient (as far as diplomacy is concerned) government form.

 

[Imago]

To: Parhae
From: The Israfanids

Stability is a good thing. Will your nation accept a five turn NAP from ours?

To: Ayravarta
From: The Israfanids

Five turn NAP?

To: Phonecia
From: The Israfanids

Five turn NAP?

To: Egypt
From: The Israfanids

Five turn NAP?

 

[The Farow]

From Wenedia
To Slavenia

We purpose an alliance to further relations with our Slavic brethen and to halt the advance of Germanics on our lands.

From Wenedia
To Frankreich

We have been fighting for ages and we want peace. Lets recognize current borders and end this senseless conflict. Also, we purpose a three turn NAP.

OCC: das what is my standings with my neighbors? I understand my people hate the Germans but how about my other neighbors? I want to make sure my diplomacy makes sense.

 

[North King]

To: The Israfanids
From: Aryavarta

We shall agree to this pact of non-agression. May any who violate it be cursed.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

To: Parhae
From: The Israfanids

Stability is a good thing. Will your nation accept a five turn NAP from ours?

Indeed it is. Your offer of a Pact of Nonaggression has been signed.

 

[Azale]

Ok, if MjM doesn't show up by tomorrow morning, I've got Egypt. Ok das?

 

[Birdjaguar]

To Tiwanaku
From Huancac Empire

The peace we would propose
Is right under your nose;
The NAP we set at three;
Say the word and make it be.


To Olmec Empire
From Huancac Empire

To our cousins of the north
The peace terms we set forth:
A three turn NAP is what we see,
A response is all we ask of thee.

 

[alex994]

OOC: You know das, considering that there are actually OTHER nations with larger armies then I have.... What would be the likely result if I tried to turn peaceful? Assasination of the Emperor and etc?

 

[Insane_Panda]

TO: The Kingdom of Cimberland
FROM: The Empire of Gaul

We wish to re-affirm our alliance. Let the world know of the power of Invictus.

TO: The Empire of Iceni
FROM: The Empire of Gaul

We wish to re-affirm our alliance. Let the world know the power of Invictus.

TO: The Punic Empire of Carthage
FROM: The Empire of Gaul

There has never been great love between our peoples - indeed, we have fought wars. However, we do not believe it is in either of our interests to fight a conflict. Expansion accross Europe is impossible for you, and we seek no ambition overseas. Therefore, we propose a pact of Non-Aggression.

 

[The Strategos]

TO: The Empire of Iceni
FROM: The Empire of Gaul

We wish to re-affirm our alliance. Let the world know the power of Invictus.

Indeed, we stand firmly by our brothers.

 

[Luckymoose]

To: Wenedia
From Frankreich


We agree.


To: Gaul
From: Frankreich

We wish for a pact of non aggression with you. Senseless wars need not be fought. (ooc: yet )

 

[das]

OOC:

I understand my people hate the Germans but how about my other neighbors?

Well, you have good relations with Nadruvia.

You know das, considering that there are actually OTHER nations with larger armies then I have....

People see what they want to see. And agree about the consequences.

 

[Kal'thzar]

From Olmec Empire
To Huancac Empire

We find your offer poetic, Agreed.

 

[Sheep]

To Amorica (Carthigian name for the Gaul Kingdom)
From the Punic Empire of Carthage

We agree. We pledge to you that we desire no further conquest of European lands. However we notice that there are a large contingent of your populace that lusts after conquest of Didonia and its surrounds. This we cannot accept. You must educate your populace to respect Punic territories and provinces. Until you can do this we can agree to a non-aggression pact but not much more.

From: Phoenicia

We agree to a NAP, to ensure the peace.

To: Luca, Egypt and Parhae

Are you too willing to sign a pact of peace with Phoenicia?

 

[Azale]

AHA! Egypt is MINEEEE!!! Thank you MjM, for not showing up

@das, who are Egypt's allies and just how unstable is the country?

From: Egypt
To: Phoenicia

Yes, peace of course. We feel this to be nothing rather than simple filler diplomacy, but oh well.

A note

While all spirits of Emperors and Empresses past are venerated and worshipped the typically great ones are worshipped more and are considered to have more power. Thus an able and fair Emperor is to have a more honoured place in the pathenon of spirits that look over the Punic people and Empire. This is a motivation for the sovereign to be fair and true.

All Punic citizens particularly venerate Gisco Carthage the Uncrowned saviour and the father to Empress Dido I, the mother of Carthage. He is considered to be the grandfather of the Empire and he who gave his life for his people still watches over them in their times of need. The High Holy day is held on the anniversary of when Imperial priests consider to be his birthday as the exact date has been lost in the sands of time.

The current Emperor is considered to be the holy link between ordinary people and the happy afterlife they all seek. To disobey the Emperor is to invite the very deamons of hell against you. To die for the Emperor is to be granted reprieve for ones sins and sacrafice in the Emepror's name of livestock and even people (usually slaves, the disabled or prisoners of one type of another) are ritualistically sacraficed on specific dates in the Punic calender to ensure a continued long life for the gratious Emperor without whom the Punic Empire woudl not exist
