@McMonkey

What's the tech that allows the Dual Monarchy government? Twin Monarchy?

@Ionien
Carthago kündigt das Handelsabkommen mit Ionien und setzt eine letzte Frist bis 728 für einen Friedensvertrag. Seepatente für Ionien wurden eingezogen. Carthagische Küstenwache hat Order "Clean Sea" erhalten. Piratenschiffe = Schiffe ohne Seepatent, sind unverzüglich zu versenken.

You announce that our trade agreement ended a turn ago and that any Ionan traders that are seen in your territory will be sunk, and in the same turn you sink an Ionan ship in the neutral waters outside the Corinthian city of Syracusae!? What kind of warning is this? If you want to stop Ionan trade, declare an embargo.

@Sparta

Ion only entered the previous war against it to make sure Athens survived, and to ensure that you don't try to conquer Miletus from your ex-Asian Minor colonies, like you almost did with Athens. With these two goals accomplished, Ion has no more reason to wage war, and will gladly compensate you with colonists and citizens according to the number and size of the cities lost. The lost colonies will not be returned. If Sparta insists on war for revenge about this, so be it. The Ionan will defend itself if attacked, nothing more. Any attacks on or embargoes against Ionan shipping will be returned in kind.

What's the tech that allows the Dual Monarchy government? Twin Monarchy?

To find out just take a look at the rules file:

Twin Monarchy, 4, 0, AFl, Tra, 0, 2 ; Cmn

Whatever is in the Communism slot is the tech for that government type. I should have named the tech and the government the same thing really.

@Ion (negotiable):

to Sparta

@Athens (negotiable):

We give the island Rhodos to Athens for Peace.

@Corinth:

We need help, Sparta lose more as colonies.

[Gelion]

Phoenicians and Etruscians have no right to compete in Hellenistic Olympics. Such undertaking of all-Greek games surely damaged Spartan reputation among Greeks.

Athens could not care less if the team was disqualified as the Olympics are not legitimate. One more proof why Sparta should liberate the city of Olympus for the good for all Greeks.

Negotiations:
Athens would accept peace with Sparta for the island of Kythira, island of Rhodes and 300 talens in reparations.

[McMonkey]

Who says Corinth is willing to hand over Rhodes to anyone? When I took it over there were no conditions attached! All I have done is prevented the island from falling into the hands of Sparta's enemies and stayed neutral in the war when I could have taken advantage of Sparta's weakened state.

[Gelion]

Athenae didn't even check that Rhodes was in Corinthian hands. Obvisouly Sparta has to come up with a better proposal. War or no war?

@Ion (negotiable):

4 colonists, 8 slaves

Sparta will offenbar verhandelt, daher wird das Ultimatum an Ionien bis zum Abschluß der Verhandlungen ausgesetzt. Der Handelsvertrag bleibt weiterhin gekündigt.

nochmaliger Hinweis:
das Befahren karthagischer Hoheitsgewässer ist nur zulässig mit:
a) Transport ship / -galley
und
b) ausgestellten Seepatenten.
Vor dem Austausch von Handelsgütern ist ein Handelsvertrag abzuschließen. Piratenschiffe werden ohne Warnung versenkt.

[Gelion]

Cythera captured from Spartan rule. Athens demands that Sparta be put to negotiations table.

[McMonkey]

Elatia agrees to join the Corinthian Commonwealth

[Jerec]

@Ion (negotiable):

4 colonists, 8 slaves

Agreed. Ion expects that no Ionan ships will be touched after this agreement. Do you want the units delivered all at once, or as soon as possible?

Thanks. I forgot that the tech slots are the same, good thing to know.

Understood. Since Ion has accepted the reparations of 4 colonists and 8 slaves, will Carthage stop attacking Ionan ships and allow trade again?

[Barthi]

Agreed. Ion expects that no Ionan ships will be touched after this agreement. Do you want the units delivered all at once, or as soon as possible?

As soon as possible.
