Cunobelinus stands I second both your edicts. They are sound...

Sarpedon... You know I am no traitor! The Arche saved me from a life of slavery and freed my home!! Why would I betray you? The respect I gave that former King was out of the custom of my people. We respect power. Does not matter who's family you belong to. Had the bastard taken my ear before however... It would have been a different story. I also wished to play the card of inferior to him, tricking him into thinking he could win. Thus making him try harder... I myself underestimated him. And my face will always pay the price.

As the the campaign. my reasons were mostly for confidence in my men, as well as knowing we should not over commit. But you've convinced me otherwise.. Perhaps you should lead your men to Byzantion. The first Syrian could take Nikation(SP?). It would be wiser to have the strongest defence out there, while if you need support we'd be just across the pond!Cunobelinus smiles
