After elections, a senator names Markus Brutus was named Consul, hes is known for a hatred for war, and always want peace
(OOC: guys just so you know, im acting as different consuls, like this, Cameleus caused a war with his ally, Markus wants to stop that war with peace
So most likely it is a question of the merchant harbor. What is the ship capacity of that? Back up on post-events until we sort out what qualifies as god-modding and what doesn't.
This absurd idea of a "united Greece" is no more than an outlet for Sparta to dominate Greece and by extension the Eastern Mediterranean. Fuck, he's still besieging Athens. He's still murdering Athenian civilians and flinging their corpses over walls somewhere. He hasn't changed anything. In fact the Greek Union he has proposed is just Sparta with a senate that can't do anything. Athens hasn't even responded yet and the entire world seems to think this is a done deal. It's a ridiculously outlandish idea. There's no reason in the world that Athens would say yes unless they were forced to. Which they may well be because Tyre and the Levantine Kingdom left for no reason at all.
Markus boards a ship to Carthage along with only 5 guards. He already sent a letter to Carthage about the trip. After this Markus will travel to Sardinia for his public apology.
Carthage had the largest merchant fleet of the ancient world. The harbor could support hundreds of trade vessels. Some numbers even say 1,000 but modern historians argue.
Markus made one last letter before departing to Carthage, he ask Sparta the lift the siege of Athens and try to make a diplomatic alliance.
Kind of. Aligned I suppose. I'm too far away to do much though. Kind of like how Poznan supports Sparta but can't really influence the events .
Because they declined the offer to Unite Greece. We already went through this conversation it was fair terms. Everybody that was on supported it. Mosh, Tyre, Rome, Carthage and me. The only person that found it unfair was sly. I even said I was completely open to idea's. sly didn't want ANYTHING to do with it. I was going to share power with them.
Well, I guess Athens is done for, unless one of the nations in Sparta's alliance has a change of heart and sabotages the entire war. If that doesn't happen, I hope they burn their navy. I wouldn't want Sparta getting their hands on it.
I have been sieging them the last couple hours IRL. The city should be in rubble with a plague going on from the corpses. I seriously doubt moral is high.
Ok, based on the information I've seen, I'd say they got into the merchant zone, but lost their fleet and managed to destroy 30-45 ships at the most.
They at least half of them are allways manned. The sailers are allway close to there ships playing cards are drinking across the street.
Dalmatia thanks you for the goods, and will look to spread these precious goods throughout Europe, bringing back gold for out two kingdoms! We also wish to be allowed at some point soon to build a city in the Nile Delta. We realise this violates what you have agreed with the Levantines, but we trust to your good will towards us, and simply wish for another outpost of Dalmatian civilisation, allowing us to source goods and see more of the world. @Imperial1917 Dalmatia lies just to the east of Rome, the light green colour. We would wish to trade with you, supplying you with goods from the east, which would be hard to come by otherwise. We can offer you ivory, Indian spices, Persian silks, olive oil and purple dye. What do you desire, and what do you offer?
The Danzig military under the rule Aldabert suffered many losses falling back to Danzig to Aerican guerrillas. Aeric and his army disapeared for days, only to return with a startling raid on a loyalist town, or an ambush of Danzig Merchants or caravans. Aldabert's rock-hard mind began to slip under the constant pressure of having an enemy be everywhere and nowhere at the same time. With Aeric's right to rule danzig supported by territorial Governors, Aeric had an army of well equiped soldiers that were veterans of warfare. Aldabert became paranoid, executing untrustworthy Generals and arresting Romuvan assistants for being cooperators to Aeric. By August, the Senators could no longer handle the insane Mykal. On August 1st, the 23 senators who supported Aeric hatched a plot. They would no longer have to bow to the Mad Mykal. On August 25th, Aldabert never woke up.
