SKNES: Architecture of Aggression

[momo1000]

OOC: Great update SK.

To: Hisham al-Rahman, Sultan of Cordoba
From: Gelimer VII, Sultan of Carthage, King of the Vandals
You are treading on ancestral Vandal lands, but we are willing to forgive this travesty. Let us sign peace in the Baleares in return for keeping the status quo, and perhaps we will not destroy you.

Forgive me, brother, we were unaware of the Vandalic claims. Hopefully this will not mar our friendship.

To: The Emperor of Byzant
From: King Oslag Thorvanson

We are sad to see that the forces of the White Christ push against you. The Deceiver has truly corrupted too many. We off what Support we can, and ask only in return, for the construction of a Forn Sidr Temple in Constantinople for our visiting people.

To Hisham al-Rahman, Sultan of Cordoba
From Eudes II, King of Aquitaine
If you would put it up that this aggression would not activate your defensive pact, we would gladly take this nasty business off your hands for you after further consideration.

Forgive me, but what nasty business? The Balearic Fiasco has been dealt with.

To Hisham al-Rahman, Sultan of Cordoba
From Eudes II, King of Aquitaine

Don't be insulted, my dear Sultan. This descrepancy is only caused by the great distances my missive must travel to reach your doors. Peace is always good for all, amen.

Byzantine Empire's EP before revolution? 11
Byzantine Empire's EP during civil war? 21 (Yes, I'm talking about all the factions of Byzantium put together)

How does that happen? Perhaps if I had all these resources available from the begining, I wouldn't be in such a ponderous situation.

 

[Terrance888]

It's the same in my NES. Lots of EP disapear while traveling to the capital, be it corruption, graft, maintainance of roads, tolls, or some of it simply gets used at the tavern.

With smaller nations, its easier to be efficient.

Let's see SK's ruling.

To: All Abrahamic Nations, Christians and Moslims alike
From: King Moszes the Snake, King of Armenia
This is an official declaration that Armenia is the new head of the East Roman (Orthodox) church. We do not wish your approval, just your understanding. We request official acknowledgement from the Pope and the Roman Emperor.

 

[Lokki242]

To Armenia
From Eudes II, King of Aquitaine

Do you feel that war will only mean sending troops to die, not fight, now? Do you feel that war will only cause more deaths now?

We must end the war with the Romans as soon as possible, and your help, and that of Athens and Angora, is crucial in reestablishing Christianity, even in Orthodox form, into Constantinople.

Your request has been taken into consideration by both the King and the Patriarch, and it is denied. Armenia is home of Orthodoxy. The new Emperor is more tolerant than your genocidal Pope. He is allowing Christianity back into his lands. I'm sure that it will slowly and steadily grow back, peacefully. Just be thankful that we do not request that our Orthodox brethren help reinforce our neighbor and ally.

Anatolia has 7 without the rest of the empire. Greece has 6 without the rest of the empire, Byzantium has 8 without Greece or Anatolia.. That is a seriously wow amount of corruption and other nonsense you just listed.

@byzantium. no answer?

Oh Amon, you and your logic.

Reply: With all whom we enslave as this war continues, I will build the temple you have asked for.

To Armenia
From Eudes II

You may keep your thoughts then and your peace. But know this; only institutions can protect the weak, individuals simply collapse under the flow of time.

That's what Sicily, Angora and Athens are for.

There are plenty of countries missing either from the map (like the Tatars - there is no dark orange in eastern Europe) or from the stats (the giant pink blob above Byzantium)...

OOC: Are you mocking the color of my countries in the stats or did you not put it together?

But that isn't dark orange. That is a very gay pink. I would know...

That is quite the glaring error. That pink blob should be dark orange. I'll fix that when I get home this afternoon. Sorry

I get your point. I'll slash income to 7-5-4; that's 16, much more reasonable.

 

[Terrance888]

Shouldn't that be in the OOC thread?

Anyway, then I eagerly await the response from the Catholic and Orthodox nations.
