Egypt to Persia:
We've noticed a certain lack of grain in your lands. We'd be willing to trade 10 talents\turn grain for 10 talents\turn of your cattle. Is this acceptable?

OOC: Just don't be ridiculous in your exploitation of it. Selling huge quantities of fish to everybody isn't going to work, and Micha will tell you if you're going overboard. If you want to export more, invest in the resource, like the money I've put towards grain so I can export more of it. At least, that's my understanding. |
I wanted to include the amounts produced, but then I would also have had to include the amounts needed, and then Iīd have to calculate fractals when determining the effect of importing 56% of the needed amount on your economy... Too much work, at least for the exam time right now.
If someone has a better idea, donīt hesitate to tell me about it. I was thinking about a civ3 system, where one ressource was kept to oneself, while an additional one of the same type may be exported to another country.
However there would be problems like Crete needing as much grain as the entire Persian empire...

Egypt to Rome: We've already accepted a deal with the Bosporian Greeks to purchase their timber. At the present time, we don't require any of yours. However, should the Bosporian Greeks prove unreliable, we will keep you in mind.

OOC: Micha, I see "Tourism" listed among Macedonia's income. How did they manage that one?

Macedonia to Rome and the Northern Greek cities :
Aesop's fable of the three little boys--
There once was a little boy named Macedonia. He had two good friends, who were also good friends of each other, named Rome and Magna. One day, a bully name Pyrrhus came along, and tripped Magna, who fell on Rome. Magna and Rome started yelling at each other, and were very angry, and began fighting. At this time, Macedonia pointed out that it was an accident, and tempers had gotten the better of everyone, and this bickering and shoving weren't really necessary. Magna and Rome began flinging accusations at each other, and Macedonia, very irritated, saw no choice but to beat some good sense into the rotten little twerps, dear to him as they were. This of course solved nothing, and all three friends began fighting, and were unhappy, and bully Pyrrhus laughed and stole their toys while they were busy fighting their friends.
We don't think we need to point out the moral of the story. Come on, Pyrrhus is the enemy here, let's forget everything else and get rid of him and his army of thugs.

The olympic games! 
Also Athens is attracting many people because of its philosophers and schools; Carthage will have that too for its wonder, and once your nation is stabilized Egypt might also become a destination for wealthy travellers...

Theres no need to worry. Our navy will destroy the Greek pirates. Any assistance is welcome though.

We regret to inform you that we will not be able to reimburse you for any losses due to piracy. The iron is not ours until we've paid for it at Tanys, and the grain is yours when you buy it at Tanys. However, we have confidence that Rome will adequately protect its merchant fleets and this will be irrelevant.
