A Roxalani diplomat arrived at my Sassanid court, no doubt sensing an imminent invasion, and made a speech about honoured brethren.....never draw swords against each other...blah, blah..then proceeded to offer me the princely sum of 21 denarii in exchange for my agreement.

Naturally I attacked the first Roxolani army I came across.

Anyone been made a more derisory offer than this?
