I will speak for Rome here and now. Your recent expansions have left us slightly trapped. Are we allowed to manuever through your territories so we can keep spreading west?
No that is why Carthage is not leting any more nations expand on the east or west coast unless they provide military assistance to Carthage if Carthage is invaded.
@Lighthouse As the God of War, I must inform you that there are currently 2 methods for fighting a battle. Either: A) Both sides give me their force strengths/compositions/location of battle(s)/formations of troops and I will write something up with the decided outcome. or B) We can open up a PM in which you both can control your units personally by taking turns to post manuvers and I will post casualties of the manuvers. *Please note that Option B is still in Beta testing. IoM: The IoM standardizes the construction of more training facilities in order to speed unit training.
I already trade with you and I am more and willing to offer military assistance. Also if I expand West, away from you, that means you can head South and if someone invades you they will have to invade me.
The intergration of the basque city states into Barcelona Means that basque alienation must be Curbed, Catalonia Hereby changes its name to the Iberian Republic. Or IR.
May I remind you that Munich is not the only nation in your "claimed" area, Bavaria has also sprouted up, and Danzig sees your claimed land as rightfully German and not Venetian. You would have to cross the alps [not the best idea in this age] and then you would attack Munich and then Bavaria, Danzig and poznan wont put up with you taking german land, and to claim everything south of Frankfurt is just asking for trouble from both of them and any possible french expansion.
IoM standard terrictories will now include the construction of 2 forts for every tile. Construction begins on the forts and all IoM terrictories now meet the previous standards. CNPS begin standardization to match the new IoM standards.
If someone woudl tell me what option A and B are... Venice. That ugly blob North of Rome. Munich it south of FrankFurt, I almost claimed everywhere south of Berlin I didnt, Barvaria is fine, I already have an army of 10 thousand still there and we built a long road that streaches over the Alps. I gave you plenty of chances to leave.
Carthage declares itself a Empire. Carthage also has the strongest fleet in the world. Carthage has been training it entire populace. (since the begining of the game)So when Carthage is invaded invade we will have 300,000 to 400,000 trained troops defending my citys.(not levies)
2. And we have alot of allies, Anwrise, Russianguy, Kara, skyicewolf, if Ler is still playing, SPQR, and I think I am forgetting someone.
