Tough decision

[Hooahguy]

no, it was a bad deal- u probaly would have lost income from the sudden loss of those cities- it would have taken a while to get it back. and the ceasefire yount have lasted. was it a very bloody war?

As long as you continue to write funny AARs I'm sure we can forgive you.

was it a very bloody war?

No, mostly strangulations and suffocations. I hardly had to stab, shoot, pierce, slice, dice or cut at all. I armed my troops with rope and pillows for the most part. Of course the Ascensii had to just slap the enemy until they gave up...

[johnhughthom]

Heavy infantry outfitted in the very latest technology then Apgad? Lorica Pyjamata perhaps?

Lorica Pyjamata perhaps?

And a Gladius Haberdasherus...

That shows how the diplomacy actually is messed up: They are asking for a status quo ante (I suppose that all these towns had been Makedonian before the war). That would be historical and acceptable, at least between Hellenic factions, as long as they would had admitted their defeat in any way. For example they should have offered the money, an alliance, to attack your enemies, something like that and not demanded anything.

So that is either messed up in a way that the AI can't recognize who is winning or always choses the wrong option, or the game waits for you to negociate by offering, for example, "ceasefire, trade rights and the towns save for Athenai, Korinthos and Chalkis".

OMFG! Guys, you need to understand that Macedon is a proud nation!, Heirs of Alexander Himself. They would never settle for anything less !!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

And they've apparently come a long way since Alexander.
