Nothing much.

I press ctrl-n at the end of my turn but it doesn't seem to work as my units do move or have a go-to command on. Any ideas?

Histiaea Taken

After a successful campgain against the Greek Rebels in the Northern part of the Island, Histiaea was conquered.

Heres the Save

Cyrion · March 6, 2002, 18:44

New Colony founded, and pirates village sacked...

More comments next time, sorry...

The save:

winterfritz · March 7, 2002, 07:32

The first Theban ships were completed in Atalanti this year, and an expeditionary force was landed on the home island of Chalcis. These troops victoriously sacked a barbarian village. The warriors of another village were so impressed by the mighty armies of the Tyranny that they decided to join them.

The Chalcidean tyrant is assured that the troops on his island are merely helping to pacify the area. These forces, having accomplished their mission, will be withdrawn next turn.

Oh thanks for telling me and stop stealing my villages ***** they are my slaves!

Next time i wont take it so kindly!

Sparta has moved.

The ANZAC · March 10, 2002, 21:40

Iron route between the two great poleis of Athens and Miletus has been established. It is the Tyrant's hope that this will encourage good will between Asia Minor and Hellas.

Note to All: Nisaea and Sunium are under Athenian jurisdiction. Any attempt to take these will be met with swift and dealy force. If any forces land on Attica without the express permission of Athens, the polis involved will get a declaration of war!

The ANZAC · March 10, 2002, 21:43

Here's the save! Forgot it

In response to the Chalcidean tyrant's inflammatory statements, Janus offered the following statement:

'While the chariots in the north of the island will be withdrawn immediately, the horsemen further south cannot be shipped off until the turn after that, when a new craft is completed in the Theban shipyards.

However, the strait along and around the northern end of the Chalcidean Island is the only route Theban ships have into the Aegan. Thus our ships will continue to use them. These waters are not Chalcidean property, or anyone elses. They are free for the use of all the Greeks.

If Chalcis denies us freedom to use these waters and attacks our ships, then we will fight them. And we will be confident of victory, as we are sure that the rest of the Greeks will not allow such an affront to their natural rights to go unanswered.'

"Ummmm... Well the Put ships in these straights and we will find out?....."

"League or no League, we agreed on the Position of Empire if you change them , Athen and I will act, and you will not feel so confident..."

Tyrant Xanthus

Cyrion · March 13, 2002, 17:21

A few mercenaries agreed to join the Corinthian Tyranny near our last Colony!!

Apart from that, not much to say, except that the Tyrant Cyrion is realizing that Corinth is falling behind in techs...

And the save:

Tyrant Xanthus

A message from the Theban Polis and its allies, to the Chalcidean Tyrant:

Firstly, the Tanagran league has agreed to no general partition, other than the recognizing of Athens' rights to the people of Attica, Chalcis' rights to the island of Euboea, and Theban rights to surrounding Boetia.

And even if we had agreed to any grandoise division of Greece, proposed and fueled by Chalcidean over-ambition, we might add, this would not have included exclusive Chalcidean rights to the straits of Euboea. These waters are free for the use of all the polises.

Thus the Thebans will put as many ships as they desire in these waters. And if the Chalcideans treacherously attack, they might note that the terms of the Tanagran League make it a defensive organisation. So the Athenians would be obliged to declare war on Chalcis rather than aid you in bullying the Greeks of Boetia, as you so rashly assume they would like to do.

The Chalcidean Tyrant should think twice before wilfully provoking Thebes like this; our great polis was founded by a son of Zeus himself, and we shall always feel confident, for we know we have the king of the gods himself on our side.

"I the Tyrant Xanthus, have gone to the Oracle at Delphia and Prayed to Ares and Poseidon for guidence in these matters, as the Priestess Democrates came out, she forsaw a Great Alliance of three city states, one she said showed a great snake shape which must of mean Athens, another was an back bird which meant Corinth.. as i held my breth the third was an upside down V with gold, which meant Chalican..."

"if Thebes wants to fight us let it be so, i have gret conact and understanding with the mighty leaders of Corinth and Athens, and the mighty god Ares who blesses our troops and Poseidon who blesses our war ships"

"know this is a Thebean ship is not recalled back to Thebes, it will be sunk and war will being... Thebes verus, the Corinthian League"

Cyrion · March 14, 2002, 12:06

Tyrant Cyrion was really surprised to notice that everybody was informed about the Secret League between Chalcis, Athens and Corinth, so secret actually that even Cyrion had never heard of it before!!!

But the athenian and chalcidean emissaries are welcome to Corinth : "Corinthian League" has a ring Tyrant Cyrion likes...

Nonetheless, there is no reason now why Corinth should be at war with our Theban neighbours with whom we have been living peacefully for decades!!

The ANZAC · March 14, 2002, 20:02

winterfritz and soundwave: I have an idea- first no foreign units on Euboea, Boeotia, and Attica. Then the straits and waters: they should be open to all city-states. But ships should not be parked there. Ships are allowed to go, but not to block it. So blocking ships should be removed. But the straits should be open otherwise Thebes is blocked in and that can't be allowed.

winterfritz · March 15, 2002, 01:51

The Theban people have praised the Athenian Tyrant's voice of reason. He has suggested just what we wanted: free passage of all the Greek straits and seas, for all the Greeks.

Our Theban expedition has been removed from the Chalcidean island - although we had already stated our intention in doing this previously.

We are enraged at the Chalcidean threats to our great Polis, however. Does this talk of the 'Corinthian League' mean that the evil Tyrant of Chalcis, not content with oppressing his own people, is attempting to array the city-states of Greece against freedom loving Thebes? We hope and pray that Athens and Corinth know nothing of this treachery (and thank the Corinthian and Athenian leaders for their statements, which seem to support this.)

Know this, despot of Chalcis: the Theban people have the right to passage through the Euboean straits. Should you attack us, we will fight for this right. You may think that you have the blessing of Ares and Poseidon, but the Theban peoples established their city with Zeus' blessing, and have his support and help to count on, should any bloodthirsty neighbours threaten Theban independence.

Soundwave · March 15, 2002, 04:01

I hold the right to these waters, what Athens does in Attica is there business none of mine, what Chalicans do in the Chalican Straits is ours, if you do not turn back to Thebes you ship will be found and sunk you have been warned... -Tyrant Xanthus

The ANZAC · March 15, 2002, 09:18

But if Boeotian ships are not allowed through the straits, how their navy function at all? First I just realized something: the Chalican Straits should not be needed by the Boeotians because there port is north of that and they only need the northern strait to go out. I think I have a compromise: depending on where the Boeotian coastal-city is (probably north of Chalcis) then I have a map. the northern straits can be used by Thebes and Chalcis, the southern straits by Athens and Chalcis, by the central strait is off limits except by express permission, here's a map.

Soundwave · March 15, 2002, 14:10

Chalicans do not care for this opinion, we respect the Atheninan Opinion but the Straits you have names to be shared by Thebes and Chalicians is unacceptable, there are my straights by birth right... is Thebes wants out, they will go thourgh the Straits marked, shared by Athens and Chalicans and Nationalized.

The ANZAC · March 15, 2002, 18:05

But if Thebes isn't allowed to move through the straits by Chalcis, then how are they going to get out? They don't have a coastal city south of that, so it is impossible for them to reach the strait you say they are allowed to go through.

The ANZAC · March 16, 2002, 00:34

We need a replacement for El as he is backing out of all PBEMs. Any ideas? Who wants Sparta?

Soundwave · March 16, 2002, 15:19

How can these straights be the birth-right of a Tyrant who has illegally seized the power in Chalcis from it's established and rightful heirs? Rather, these straights are the birth-right of all free Greeks, and the Chalcidean Tyrant's attempts to reserve them for himself are an affront to all the Hellenes.

The Thebans cannot use the part of the straits shared between Athens and Chalcis because they are too far away from our infant ports and harbours. Besides which, we have no interests in the areas that this strait opens onto.

The Thebans commend the well thought out Athenian compromise. However, the shared zone for Thebes and Chalcis would have to extend further south through the straits, as our new port city is slightly to the east of the area outlined. Nonetheless, the people of Boetia appreciate the addition of another voice of reason to this dispute, as opposed to the tyrannical rantings that continue to issue from Chalcis.

We Thebans repeat that they will continue to pass ships through the northern straits as we please. We will treat any destruction of Theban vessels as a declaration of war. The brave and heroic citizens of Boetia are ready for any Chalcidean treachery.

I'll take Sparta

The ANZAC · March 17, 2002, 12:29

Then if nobody else has any reservations, I guess Case gets Sparta!

winterfritz · March 18, 2002, 01:37

The Theban people gladly welcome the new Spartan King

Other than a defensive pact between Chalcis, Athens and Thebes, there are no alliances that I know of (and that pact is nothing like the ones in AoW - its very loose, we don't co-operate, and basically just argue alot

But being Greek city-states, its historically accurate, I suppose

)

Heres the new player list. Case, it's your turn now.
