we see that you have a settlement to our south and we would like to know if you would like to create a deal with us where if you were attacked by the Iberians i would come to help you and vice-versa. even if you don't accept, i would still like to have a friendship between our two nations.

let Minao first state that it wishes no conflict between our nations, and that Minoas allaince with the celts is to punish the Romans for not only treating harshlly the Etruscans when they conqoured them, but haveing the gaul (OOC-irony incerted on purpose ) to demand that Minao "give back" the descendents of those settlers who had fled to our lands, and that we welcomed with open arms.

that said, it was our then inclination to help the celts establish themselves as a nation, but pull out militarilly after Rome was conqoured.

Minoa will still do this (well it appears the rules say i cant help the celts establish themselves, but I'll ask AA), and despite the fact that some tribes would willing join Minoa, the majority would probabley stay indipendent, Minoa will therefore agree to only accept the few who petition directlly to it to join Minoa, abnd the rest will be left as indipendents- provided you do not aide the Romans in any way, shape, form or manner, for if you do you will have a mighty force going agaisnt you, a force in which if Minoa pressed the issue, could get all fo the celtic tribes of the south to join, and even throw your new southern border into rebellion

therefore, Minoa leaves the choice to you.

indeed! it is indeed good that we know you wish to have friendlly realtions like so many on the easter side of the great sea do with Minoa, to that end, as soon as it can be worked out, Minoa proposes a further alliance then the mutual protection pact agasint the wild trbes of this penninsul, Minoa is interested in protecting its island border primarilly, mainlly meaning that the inner sea is in the hands of either minoa, or the firmist of allies, with a similer fate of the pillers of hercules (stright of gibralter)

thus, as soon as one can be drawn up by our royal cartographers (OOC- as soon as I have time to make it), Minoa will propose an offical expansion treaty most benifical to having both our nation share and share alike

to this end, Minoa also proposes that you placed second on its list of nations possibel to open up trade with, once Minoa has th eproper funds to do so.

this is all fine, and i hope that soon we will be able to disperse the Iberians and eventually start trading. later expansion will be planned out after the future territory is planned out. (aka your map)

OOC: What is the next age?

IC:

When the Assyrians expanded towards the Black Sea, they discovered the Tagra, a tribe which made spying an art. Shamshiadad did not pay much attention to them. Much more cunning Naplash immediately summoned Tigur, their leader, to Ashur. What they spoke of, remained unknown, but soon afterwards, the Tagra and numerous other warrior tribes often found in the region begun joining the Assyrians. Tigur quickly forged the first known spy network for the Assyrian King. He also gathered fearsome warriors into the Assyrian army, allowing for farther strenghthening of the Masters of Mesopatamia.

The first important task of both these warriors and of Tigur was Sumeria...

From: Assyria
To: Sumeria (the ruler and loyal nobles)

You have been defeated, and our armies approach your cities. Surrender now - your complete and total defeat would come anyway, and you might get a quick death as opposed to being constantly tortured until you die of old age. What is your choice?

From: Assyria
To: Persia

We ask you, do not aid the Sumer. Their army is broken, and their rulers were never fully trustworthy - especially now. And while we are only glad to have you help us, we would not surrender any Sumerian territory between Tigris and Euphrates. We could, however, allow you to take the piece of land separating you from Dubai after the war. Deal?

Orders:
- Continue wonder (3/5)
- Grow economy.
- 50 men are to expand in the unclaimed areas near the Caspian Sea.
- 350 men are to assault Lagash and the other two cities in an all-out attack. Do not worry about casualties as long as we have at least 100 men standing. DO NOT DO THIS IF SUMERIA CAPITULATES.

 

[Amenhotep7]

To Assyria

Deal. That's what we wished for in the first place. We wanted to consolidate the two pieces of the empire.

We also wish to sign an MPP as well, since we seem to get along nicely.

 

[das]

From: Assyria
To: Persia

Excellent. We agree to the MPP.

:sigh: Very well, we surrender.

@Amenhotep: Check the OOC section of the update.

We knew you will see reason!

From: Assyria
To: Persia

Sumeria surrendered. Consider the territory you asked for yours.

 

[Amenhotep7]

OOC: Oops. Didn't see that part.

From Persia
To Assyria

Thank you. You are most gracious! May the gods bless you and your people!

To Illustrate what you were thinking, coud, you please draw a map?- also, the area that is checker niether blue nor purple is not claimed by either of our nation, and while technically Minoa could expand there, it is unlikelly, as Minoa first priority is the sea, and dose not wish to concern itself to far in the actions of the land nations in the western part of the sea, to that end, if you would like the remaining uncheckerd part of the map reserved for Portugese expansion, Minoa would agree to it, but but we can do so for certain, please draw a map as to what you exactley propose

To: Crusaders
Frome: Minoa

please provide a map of what you propose, other wise no deal can be struck
