The latter also giving them ironworking, and with all the consequences of failing Divine Stewards and Lord's Loyalty causing serious instability, while all our immediate neighbors are wanting to carve a piece out of us and steal our ironworking technology.
And now I'm one of the most vocal pro-Bosporus expansion people in the thread
But nah, all I'm really looking for here is to force the Trelli into quiescence so we can shift our focus back to the Lowlands and the ST without them obstructing trade for a while. Basically, try and beat on the Trelli before they dominate the Not!Aegean and start getting even more ambitious.
And frankly, if we play our cards right- we're not going to be fighting the descending Trelli alone- we're buying just as much Tin as the Trelli if not more at that point from the Tin Tribes and we can supply them copper at a bargain for domestic bronze production- all along a route nigh impossible for the Trelli to interdict (GS to New TP). Combine that with generally further improving the wealth of the region and possibly sharing some innovations and there are good odds we can at least get some local tribal auxiliaries to back us up. Especially because if we do get driven out of the TP, their access to a lot of luxuries like; glass, dye, fine pottery, gems, and wine actually diminishes. Slaves are something they can probably acquire more of on their own with enough bronze- there's plenty of people in land in the Not!Danubian basin, but we can establish ourselves as their lifeline to luxury goods that the noble mine owners are going to want.
Umm, one of ANs posts literally said the Trelli don't really hate us or care about us. The posts specifically said that if there was a war it would be hard.
His entire point is that we can buy off their mercs. They send their loyal ones off to the Saffron Isles.
.....That's not scary at all.
so which would they attack us with
Yo AN, whilst we have you here can you give us some small details about our Homeric tales you mentioned earlier....
And we don't do that by sitting around and letting them expand exponentially.
Alright, here's a fixed version. That one had equidistant data points, but early on my datapoints were anything but:History sheet updated. I also went through and added Econ Expansion from before it was a stat on all the turn AN provided it.
Which allows me to provide a graph of LTE and Econ through history. Econ expansion slots are the area between the two lines; when they touch, we get overcrowding.
Edit: My X-axis is fucked. Lemme fix.
I'll go with Killing Rome as a child in the crib please
I think were way to late to pull that off at this time.
But guess who won?
Then why are you voting for the western post?
