After successfully taking the city of Cornith, Greece had a marvelous celebration throughout the country. Cornith provided many trading resources, including timber and marble, and the best part was taking possession of one of the seven wonders, the statue of Zues.
But unfortunitly, the celebration did'nt last forever, so it was back to conquering the world the next day. Still being the year 270 B.C., Kleo decided to take over some more citys, but not by fighting,but by diplomacy. With the two diplomats trained a few months ago, he could do just that.
Over two years, Kleo's diplomats managed to take, Athens, Halicarnassusm and Kdonia, two armys, and another one of the seven wonders: mausoleum at Halicarnassus, and a man named Xenophan of Amphipolis became governer of Sparta.
