[X] Don't Build Anything and wait to get money for the stone wall!
[X] It is true that we need money for stone walls, but what kind of protection can we expect to have if we neglect the Gods? Poseidon can send a quake and break stone, Zeus can strike the city with a bolt of lightning, Athene can smash the gates and break down the walls. We must honor the gods or perish. [-30 talents].
Demetrios, son of Lysandros, spoke: ''The gods have been kind of with Eretria, would we repay respond to their boons by neglecting them? The temple must be provided for. Once our duties to the gods have been accounted for, however, we must see to our own defense before anything else. The days when a wooden wall could suit our needs are over. In the future we might very well have to fight fellow Greeks, men's who posses the knowledge and the techniques to prevail over any wooden wall, as we have done ourselves many them. As for the Barbaroi, we might very well have to count our future Barbaroi by nations instead of cities. The good have been kind to us, from a small city we have grown into a city of significant might, a city attracting the eyes and attention of many. The strenght of our defenses should reflect Eretria position in the wider world.
[X] Let us send our xenoparakletor to Metapontion. We need allies among the Greeks, and if we do not get them we will be diplomatically isolated, relying only on Kerkyra and a pack of barbaroi. Not to mention we can hear more about the state of Greek Italia and Sicily.
''The lands of northern Italy are far, our means of interventions there few. If the Liburnians dare defy us once more we shall crush them like we did at the Fifty Mast, as we have only grown stronger since then while they remain a shadow of their former selves. While learning of the deeds of the Dauni could be usefull and that the Canossans must indeed be made to understand the necessity to serve us with more diligence Greeks must always pass Barbaroi. While far Taras could prove a more fearsome ennemy then any Italian Barbaroi, Metapontion could prove invaluable as an ally. Besside, at Metapontion Kallias may yet learn on the Lucani informations that could prove more usefull then any results of negociations with the Canossans and Dauni. To Metapontion we need to send Kallias.
