UU: Spartan Hoplite-Tough soldiers taken from their families from infancy and raised in harsh military discipline. Made to undergo the most brutal training they have been taught to fight fanatically to the death. Armed with a large round shield of bronze, a helmet, a large spear, and a sword they are amazingly well organized and displined famous for the Phalnax formation. They will never surrender and never give up. “A Spartan comes home with his shield or on it”
Their weakness is that they will not fair well against archers.

New project: The Watch Flame

A line of bonfires running along the coast to warn the army when enemies approach the border. You've all seen it in action in LOTR, I suppose. Chiosians prefer to be prepared when foreigners pay a visit and ready whatever must be readied. Wether it is a feast or a fleet. :p
 
to Chios,
from Naxos

We agree to trade with your state. However, we would prefer to stay independent of any inter-state commitments.
We shall send trade missions as soon as we commision trade vessels.
 
To Naxos:
From Larissa:
Yes, certainly, your merchants are more than welcome in Larissa.

To Rhodes:
From Larissa:
We are agreeable trade, though we do not possess a merchant fleet as yet.

To Thessaly:
From Larissa:
I am overjoyed, my friends! Let us move forward as brothers and countrymen, allies and friends for the greater glory of our two cities, and all those of Greater Thessalia. You agree to the name of the Thessalian League?

To Sparta:
From Larissa:
You Lakedaemonians think too much of yourselves. You think you can dictate to all the states of the world as though you yourselves are the almighty gods of Olympus? We defy you, Spartans! We will not be your slaves and bondsmen. We are no helots; we are free men of Greece, and in every way your equals, and, I dare say, in many your betters. Do not presume to be so high and mighty; do not presume to dictate to Larissa or her allies. The Thessalian League shall be formed, whether you Pelopenesians like it or not. We do not seek war; but it seems to be all that Spartans are good for, and if you want war, you may have it.

To Thessalian League allies:
From Larissa:
Gentlemen, it appears that the states of the south are Hades-bent on making war against us. I suggest we all mobilize our armies and make ready for war; if the Thebans or Spartans so foolishly invade us, our fine citizens will have a hard fight ahead to defend their homes. We will be victorious, of course; but I suggest we make the proper provisions to ensure our victory.
 
To Naxos
From Chios

No problem. We already have trading ships ready to sail. They will be accompanied by escort ships to thwart any pirates on the way. Thought I'd keep you posted. No need to sea wreck on misunderstandings. :)

May our good relations - and trade profits - last for eternity!

To Athens:
From Larissa:
Hail, gentle people of Attica. The Athenians, unlike the arrogant men of Thebes and Sparta, have never insulted or derided my people, and as such, we consider you our friends. Will Athens agree to a pact of non-aggression and a friendly relationship with the Larissan state?
 
Ok a thing you need to get straight:
Don't call Sparta + Thebes arrogant, even if they are its not very diplomatic too.
Secondly, yes a NAP would be fine.
 
to: Athens
from: Thebes
Hail friend! The leaders of Thebes wish to point out to you that the forming of the thessalian league should be viewed as a threat to all the southern greek states. To Thebes it seems like it is the Thessalian League who is aggressing for war!

To Agrinion, Naousa, Korzania, Ispalia, & Thessaly:
From Larissa:
Hail, brothers, men of northern Greece, defenders of Hellas! Larissa greets you and prays that the gods keep you. We states of northern Greece have historically been mistreated by the self-righteous southerners. Those rich and self-important Athenians, those high and mighty Spartans, the Corinthian and Thebans too. They see us as less than Greek, as less than human, as no better than the barbarian Celts and Persians! But we are not. We are every bit as Greek as they are, if not more; we have shed our blood to defend Greece from northern barbarian invasion, such that THEY might enjoy peace and grow prosperous! Larissa will no longer carry such insults as the arrogant southern states would throw at us. I am calling for an alliance, the formation of a Thessalian League between our states, the great states of the North. Together, we can be great; together we can show those haughty Atticans that we are their equals, or better. Men, will you join me in this League? Will you join with me to defend the honor of our peoples and of our states? Or are you cowards and wives, who would bear silently the insults of the southern poleis?

this is what the treachrous northerners said! insultin athens, saying that they will "show those haughty Atticans"! this is unnacceptable! They are clearly aggressing for war.




to: All southern greek states who wish to listen
from: Thebes
the southern states cannot stand by and watch the forming of the Thessalian League and their preparing for an invasion of us, their own brethren! We must form an alliance to counter this threat, or at least make a defensive pact. We will not attack our northern brothers. this pact will only act as a counterthreat to the Thessalian league.
 
To Thebes:
From Larissa:
Your diplomacy to Athens lies. However, if you will not attack us, we will not attack you. We are interested only in peace.


( :p )
 
matty can you please look at the tech tree some of the units are not available yet. Also you do need to invest money into food, educvation and confidence, otherwise Athens is liable to fall apart very quickly. Please edit your stats to reflect this. Thanking you in advance, Sheep2

Hey sheep, since you told people that putting Credits into Tech levels is useless AFTER people posted in their spendings could you BANK those 3 credits i "wasted"?

@Sheep
is there any chance to have this request granted, denied or at least Acknowledged?

To Sparta and Athens
We noticed that your two factions are arming themselves heavily do you intend to carry on the ancient feuds of your lands?
 
There will be no credits banked. With players who have invested money into this can I suggest you inbvest the money into military, you still have 48 hours to finalise stats and I am telling you now that NPCs wont always be Mr.Nice guys.

To Thebes
From Sparta

It is clear the men of the north have hostile intentions toward us in their league. They think they can challang us! I say we put them in their place. Sparta proposes the formation of the Pennoplosian League to deal with the northerners.

Projects: The Colossuses of Rhodes (0/10 - +5 credits a turn, trade advantage)
Wonders: -
UU: Rhodian Slingers: (200 per credit, Weak in Hand-to-Hand)
Rhodian Slingers are highly skilled missile troops but are at a huge disadvantage in hand-to-hand combat, especially against cavalry. These slingers can send a hail of bullets towards the enemy, and target their shots for maximum damage; they can maintain a sustained and concentrated barrage on enemies and then fall back rapidly to avoid hand-to-hand combat. Rhodian Slingers carry a shoulder bag with many pieces of lead shot (they can also use stones picked up on the battlefield) and several spare slings including slings of different length for greater or lesser range and stave slings for maximum power. They also carry a knife and a small shield but no other equipment. A sling is a deceptively simple weapon: a slinger can bring down the strongest man with a single shot. Used to kill enemies from a distance, they are superb missile warriors. After all, they will have been hunting with slings since boyhood.
 
From Rhodes
To Khalkis, Naxos Chios, Larissa.


Very well! We are very happy to see you all agreed upon trading with us, we shall start running trade convoys very soon.
However Aegean Sea is infested with Illyrian pirates amongst other scum and therefore we hope you will not mind if we will send 2 Escort Ships for every trade vessel we send, after all they will only defend our Investments.
