Who wil play the first turn?`
Why do you guys play the faction that you play?
Hey! Thats slightly in context!
OOC should be where are you guys from? GAH!
I think it's determined by the script, so it has to be a specific order. At least thats what it looked like when I looked at the PBeM mod.

The Punic has it correct. The script needs the order found in the descr_strat...and not the names at the top. It goes in order of actual faction information (which takes forever to dig through to get the right order :sweat:)
And I chose Romanii because..well...yeah.

You do realise I am a Romani at heart? I'm only being punic to see what it's like to watch an empire crumble into dust!

It's all in the good of the game.
Carthage is always my favorite, but Pontus....it's for the challenging! And the galatian warriors of course.
So where is the AS guy. HEY my friend, i wish we could mantain our allaince and our friendship:)
we gettin a bit nervous over there Pontus? I show no fear. I can just swamp Rome with my navy! Although I am looking forward to the Punic wars. Especially with autocalc. it will be a true war of attrition. I tried it yesterday and lost, but the AI generals get bonus command stars you won't TP!

Why I chose the Arverni? Why, the women of course! Where else can you find such lovely women as you can in Gaul? Nowhere, I say! And if you think I would go for the Aedui, you must be out of your mind. They are way too friendly towards those barbarians in Rome for my liking.

You say that again, you miserable failing piece of satrap crap when I throw the rotting remains of your corpse from the highest walls of Baktra, after I raise the Seleukid banner from it.

Of course, of course. You can keep yourself busy with defeating the Greeks at Sinope and Trapezous without any intervention. I promise.

*Cracks fingers*
You might want to reverse that position when all of your "Satraps" have formed a glorious, anti-Selukeia coalition!
Amirite?

Any chance we could peacefully end our civil war and focus on more important things then fighting Brothers and fathers?

Incitatus 00:57 01-21-2009
As long as we are doing business with Carthage, the Lusotanns want to be friends too. We can help you out.
Sure friend. I can offer you more trading options than any nation. It will be a pleasure to divide Iberia between our great and proud nations! We may even assist you should you require it!
Of course, of course. You can keep yourself busy with defeating the Greeks at Sinope and Trapezous without any intervention. I promise.[/QUOTE]

A poor decision, if I say so myself. For you see, the "Arche", although it appears strong, it's strength is totally dependant on the goodwill of it's neighbours; his "Satraps". A Glorious Coalition of Oppressed Peoples could easily smite the Arche from the face of Gaia, and gain land for each respective people. For the Pahalava, Parthia and Sogdiana. Hayastan? The Caucasus and Media. The Ptolemaioi? Syria and Mesopotamia Us Baktrians? India and Khorasan. And Pontos? The whole of Anatolia. From the Taurus Mountains the Aegean, Tarsus to Sinope, a Pontic Shahdom, worthy of the Achaemenids. And yet, The Seleukids are denying you from fulfilling this dream, forcing you to bow to their yoke. That is no way for a Shah to behave, a Shah deserves land, wealth and power! And the Seleukids are the only barrier preventing Pontos from fulfilling it's destiny.
And that's not the only reason as to why we should join forces. For the Arche's strength is measured on the friendliness of his neighbours; were we all to sit by and watch the Seleukids, the Ptolemaioi would be destroyed, and cast out from their home, despite the wealth of Egypt. And with the combined wealth of Syria and Egypt, nothing could stop the Arche. It would swarm over the Earth, like bees from a hive, devouring all in it's path, leaving only oppression and desolation in it's wake. This is the time to prevent that, this is our time, this is the time for liberation!
So, I have proposed a plan. As I have mentioned above, the Arche will be divided amongst our kingdoms. I have divided it so that each kingdom gets a roughly equal share, noting of course that some regions are richer than others.
Note that some areas I have suggested are outside the current de facto control of the Arche; I consider these areas to be under Seleukid influence, and should a nation require assistance in bringing a certain region under control, then other members of our Coalition must send troops to assist, to liberate those regions from Seleukid influence. Ofc, edits would be considered.
Now, I bet many of you are wondering why I left the Seleukid Remnant there. The reason is that the Seleukids are a valid Diadochi; it's just that their power is totally out of proportion as to what Alexandros would have wished. So I have merely "Reduced" them to Persia Proper where they belong.
Now all you have to do is join the coalition.

Aren't we getting
a little too "in context" for this thread?
Yeah, I typed that, then I saw the title and though "Oh bugger". We need a diplomacy thread.

And on the 15th day, He said "Let there be multiple threads."
Uploading turn soon with genericScript and will start the other threads.
If everyone wouldn't mind, please put what faction you are playing in your sig. It makes it much less confusing.
