The March of Time - A Stainless Steel 6.4 hotseat

[Myth]

I could have hardly kept the levant if you had agreed to such a trade.

I could have hardly kept the levant if you had agreed to such a trade.

True, but that would have meant me going back on my word, which I did not want to do.

I'm curious though, why would you agree to a deal like that if you believed I would betray it?

[Myth]

First it would have given me the moral high-ground versus you, for RP purposes but also to ensue you get more enemies than you know what to do with. No one wants such a huge faction to be their neighbour if they are proven traitors.

Second, you would have to move a lot of armies to the east to reconquer the Holy Lands, and this is lead battles. You being a cautious player would mean I'd get a few turns of trade from there + the option to sneak some stacks around, take other settlements, sack or even remove some of your own stacks. Overall you'd be bogged down reconquering your own lands.

Also, I'd have a massive staging point form Italy, where retaking the African lands would take but a few turns, since I have the bulk of my forces concentrated in one strong front. Plus, there was always the option of you keeping your word.

Hmmm, @phonicsmonkey, are we going to wait for @Gaius Octavius Caesar or shall we move on?

Let's give him a little more time. I'm here all day so I'll pm him and skip the turn later if he doesn't show up.
