Does it have any affect on the game or just a cool immersion factor type of thing?
I also got an interesting reputation-based question as I marshaled my Epeirote army on the northern border of Attica, preparing to invade the Peloponnese (and specifically Corinth). It had something to the effect of how attacking a Greek city-state would not be looked on favorably by the others, blah blah blah. So, off to Corinth I go, regardless.

Does something like this have any in-game diplomacy effect (e.g. attacking a Greek city in Hellas will make the Koinon Hellenon more hostile to you, etc.), or is it just there for immersion's sake?

Cheers.
