Re: The Curia
"If that's not what you meant, then I don't see what point you were trying to make when you talked about the need to 'still have money 2-3 years from now'.
Even so, your edict does not 'cover my wish', as you like to claim. It only covers taking Ambrakia, and that's it. It doesn't close the front at all, because if you think that would be enough to defeat the Epeirotes, even its will to fight, you're being naive. The war would be far from over; indeed, the Epeirotes would be fighting tooth and nail to take back Ambrakia, and if they would sign a peace treaty afterwards, it would be one we couldn't trust, because they would always be looking at the city with ever hungry eyes. My way we do close the front, end that threat, gain loads of mnai and still taking away what you call 'its most capable recruitment-center' - if the initial peace offering isn't accepted. If it is, then we'll still gain a good amount of mnai, while sparing good, Roman lives, closing a front while also getting a much more reliable peace than we ever could if we would hold Ambrakia."
