*at sarpedon*

I tire of fighting someone so pig-headed.
lets look at the facts, in an unbaised way you claim you are so fond of

defense takes priority over attack, unless attack can remove the need for defense, your royal army was the only force around karkatheria, the georgio-armenian raiding force, is still there to my knowlage... we are loosing a not insignificant amount from their campaigning.
Pergamon has not been taken, dispite your promises
the army is getting paid to, basically, march, instead of fight.

so I was right about what the best use of that army would have been




next you claim I dont like you, to which I respond, nobody cares, you do your job and not stop other people from doing their's, and we would get along fine, I'll even chalk the arrogence upto your youth, and disrespect of free men to simple ignorance of the celtic ways.
please, stop having a tantrum about this.



then, accusing me of behaving like a child is fine, but that army I played with has lost fewer men in the battle I commanded it in than any other single battle by any other commander so far.
and this is politics boy, people who propose bad policies get attacked, stop taking it personally.

therefore, neither accusation is true.
or, as we are being unbaised, I am right.




you've done a good job, in the easiest of circumstance, the satrapy of pahlava is more likely to be attacked, and faces tougher enemies if it is, the majority of your population are greek and by comparison, your satrapy was far more developed than most of the rest of the arche.
so, we both were right.


So I want to further myself, so I have ambition, so what?
the only way you could make this argument is if you were a hermit yourself.
that wont happen, so please, dont bother arguing something that can be rebuffed so easily.


the facts are those.
pehaps you missed them since they dont fit in with your agenda
