Having the largest army, we were at an advantage. After a couple of years, I had taken two of William's bigger cities; Rotterdam and Groningen and a hefty pile of Gems.
I decided to offer a peace treaty in exchange for the knowledge of "The Republic". So we made peace and I learned "The Republic". However, I decided not to change my government, Anarchy could not be a wise choice, since I planned something right after our treaty.
After 10 years[1turn], I decided to halt researches and made my Entertainment Budget my priority, since the captured cities might try to defect to thier father land, the Netherlands.
Having this enacted on my Nation I had to trade for technology. William of Netherlands, again, never stopped his angry look at me. So I made deals with him my way. One day, He had Feudalism, and I did not. So I offered 300 gold for it and unfortunately he did not agree. That action meant only one thing- Greek-Netherlands War II.
This time my warriors were already Promoted to ELITE status, giving me more advantage over the war.
After a few more decades we made peace again and I learned Feudalism for free and I had successfully captured 2 more cities; Maastricht and Breda.
That war made it clear that I was superior to the Netherlands, but again, William was so stupid, he did not change his face from angry to happy, Plus he did not give me two Techs as a punishment from the previous war, I had enough reason for my Nation to declare war again- Greek-Netherlands War III. Right after the peace treaty for the Greek-Netherlands War II(Technically, in just 1 turn I made peace and declared war again)
Greece-Netherland WarIII
And after that, as what Fledging nations would do, they had a RoP with Russia, a pretty big neighbor, one more step would mean war between them versus little Greece. Hence, having lots of money from the no-research law, I bought techs from them, a little higher than what was enough, and traded formerly-Dutch owned Gems. And by this time I had already advanced to the Middle Ages.
I was, therefore, no longer called "'Warlord' Jon of Sparta" but from then on I was called "'Sir' Jon of The Spartan Knights"
Obviously, William failed to get Mother Russia's Millitary alliance against me.HAHAHA
