Dalmatia is concerned their trade ally ( @Epiccheesegrater ) is balanced precariously in this war. We wonder if it would be in their best interests to remove themselves entirely from this war. We would also like Sparta ( @Thefatkid ) to allow Tyre to become neutral in this war, if Tyre wishes to. Dalmatia wishes to stress they are simply concerned about trade with Tyre, we are simply suggesting one possible outcome.
Tyre also finds itself in a dangerous situation, though we would still like control over Cyprus and joint control over east Crete (with Carthaginian ports) should we withdraw our support to Athens. We do not want a Spartan dominated east Mediterranean.
Supporting Athens seemed like a good idea at the time. It was just them and Carthage versus Athens, Scythia, Sardinia and possibly Tyre too. Now though, Sardinia seems to have betrayed Athens and Poznan has joined Sparta. Athens does seem to be in a tricky situation, though if we stay in an alliance, our navy could match Carthage's, and if I win, Sparta won't have a hegemony in the east Mediterranean. Should we lose though, they could turn their gaze to Tyre and then it wouldn't end well. To top it all off, if Sparta wins the first battle, the Levantine Kingdom will probably betray me and join them.
Tyre is going to make a decision once we have a full assessment of the situation and all nations in the war, or considering entering the war.
Sparta would like to tell Tyre to go fuck themselves. You betray my people you risk having a head chopped off.
@DomoSunz if you are on our side we will help you in any future conflict with Rome @Epiccheesegrater we will still give you ALL of Crete and Cyprus as well as a hefty sum of gold if you stay on our side and we will not interfere in the Mediterranean holdings of Tyre. So I'm confused. What the hell are the alliances?
Me, Carthage, Sardinia, (and Poznan???? He sent me troops so...) VS Athenian dogs and Tyre cowards. We also laugh at your deal with Sardinia as you haven't offered anything we haven't. We also don't want peace with Tyre, we want war.
Very well, Sparta will have a war. Tyre will not have it's honour threatened by traitors and liars. We will destroy Sparta and enslave it's people.
King Pheseus returned to his palace and asked his generals. "You look excited.What's going on?" "Sir Sparta has asked us to help them in their war with Athens." Pheseus has made a decision in an hour. "Inform them that we are not joining them General!" "Sir I think I can't let you do that." "WHAT?! You're questioning my orders? Do you want to be thrown in the dungeon for the rest of your life?" The other generals and adivsors came in armed with short swords & daggers. "Sir,we regret to announce the ending of your reign." Pheseus ordered his guards to stop them.They didn't even respond to him. The first one to stab him was his most trusted general Avencius. The rest have continued what he started.Pheseus' servants have turned on him.In the following year the council of nobles and elders will do the king's work in ruling the country then his successor will be put to the throne. On the same day of the king's murder his son's wife has given birth to two sons.Pheseus the II. & Clenses. The son of the king Monarches was enraged when he saw his father's dead body on the floor. Thw council of nobles has decided to go to war with athens,on the side of Sparta
@Skyicewolf as you can see the Spartans are only interested in confrontation. Should Athens lose this war, their hungry eyes will be turned on you next. EDIT: We'll have to have the war on here. There are simply too many participants for a PM.
