Citystates RPG

Since when?

You'll never stop this ridiculousness, will you?

Your kidding, right?

We'll sell the crossbows.

You want to do that attrition thing you mentioned a couple of pages back?
Oh, and where are you going?

One more year Carthage will have its first batch of concrete. Carthage will trade the concrete for some crossbows.

OOC: Oh yeah.... didn't Rome IRL have some concrete mix that scientists never figured out?

IC: Ok, we'll trade the designs for crossbows for the secrete to concrete.

We want crossbow designs from someone! Why no trade?

I asked what we are getting in return for the designs.

Carthage laughs at this small sum of denarii. Carthage will not be bribed to fight your loseing war.

And it just occurred to me that because of my error on the year, it is now time for senate seat elections.

Territory 7: 6 seats-DM controlled

Territory 9: 6 seats-DM controlled
Territory 10: 4 seats-DM controlled

Territory 12: 4 seats-NM controlled
Senate Structure:
(NM) New Merchant party: 24 seats
(J) Junker Party: 14 seats
(DM) National Danzig party: 34 seats
Long live the New danzig National Party!

What do you want?

@GeneralofCarthage , your saying that it took my men 6-9 months to move 50 miles, but it took your men 6-9 months to go to babylon, train for half a year, and come back?

What do you have?

Perfect, ask your price.

Nah, attrition sucks old balls. Besides, they're apparently well traveled trade routes I'm using if Dalmatia wasn't just pulling stuff out of his ass.

Now that's a secret. I can't have this monstrosity of a human being knowing I'm coming. But I will tell you my immediate course. I'm going through the Dalmatia-Greek trade routes and then splitting off into Hungary. From there I go West into Venice.

Chain-mail, our trade fleet. That is about it lol.

The Empire begins to put ballistas onto the front of the ships, on the deck. Quadriremes will have one on the back part of the ships as well.

Sooo.... do I have the crossbows...? What do want for them?

What do you have of value?

Oh, and you know that the blockade of the Strait of Gibraltar ended like 75 pages ago, right?

So... Venice. Or Rome.
Regardless, you know that you don't have a country anymore, right?

Mmm... we'll sell crossbows for royalties on fleet profits.

On another note: 3 alerts for people quoting me. I feel so special.

Scythia died a martyr for a greater cause.
