I would say that with Pyrrhos outside of our lands, the first part of Edict E1.2 is rendered null and void, and we should continue with the second part: propose a peace treaty with him. If that succeeds, it seems only prudent if I turn back towards Athens again. Though I will probably wait until next spring to do that then, and perhaps camp on the borders or somewhere between Thessalia and Makedonia in case barbarians will come from the north or whatever. (I know they won't, but Atigonos don't.

)

Now, where's that diplomat when you need him...

Edit: Ah, no one's playing the diplomat. Oh well, john, could you do that when you take the save?

How do we roleplay why he turned around. Bit of an anti-climax

It's Pyrrhos, changing his mind and going off to do something else is hardly a huge shock.

Should I use force diplomacy to do so? Doesn't seem right to use it without having at least given them a bloody nose first...

Bloody hell, I wrote what john wrote as an answer, but I forgot to press "submit". Gah!

Anyway, use force diplomacy if you want to, but you shouldn't need to. That it may not feel right is one thing, but neither seem to want war, so it doesn't really seem wrong to me either.

I say no to Force Diplomacy right now. Offer peace and see what the computer says. Now if we had just kicked their butts, then it would be realistic to force peace on them.

We can always pretend to think phyrrus turned west because of something the romans were doing.
Phyrrus may wanted to stay closer to the adriatic, in case he needed to cross it to protect tarentum :)

As our intelligence network is still smallish, we can make numerous wild assumptions, but the above is the one i'll be making.

Well, Pyrrhos had a reputation of doing half-done business. Megale Hellas, Sikelia, you name it. Pella could have just been another half-finished business of his.
