What can I say, I like to screw up history. Plus, the Persians havn't even invaded yet.

Anyway, Syracuse is a medevile/napolionic history buff. His strongpoint isn't Greece. He told me on MSN.

Or ne of the Ionan Colonies would be good.

Eperus is a Fine choice my good sir. Eperus and Corcya were what started the pelloponesian War. Well, gave the excuse for it anyway. Like Belgium and WWI for britain.

well, actualy, Bzyantium DID exist. But it was a small town, and not very powerful. It was actualy part of thrace

While I am a history buff and as such interested in this exercise, I must claim some measure of ignorance in Greek city-states. I would also like to draw attention to Atlantis' map. It gives the impression that not only does Byzantium indeed exist, but is also a largish city-state.

1. Not my map
2. Largest dousn't mean powerful.
3. That's Thrace

Um... Atlantis, Bzyantium is on the map, oddly enough... And its not under my control...

hmmm.......odd. Xander must have editied it. Thrace wasn't actualy listed earlier. Anyway, Byzantium isn't strong. That tital goes to Athens and Sparta

True...

Sparta--The warrior state

vs.

Athens--The naval state
Thakan Dar
25-12-2003, 21:07
*sigh* All right, then. Have you any suggestions or have all the "good" city states been taken?

My style of play would generally tend to defensive, building strength and alliances with strategies to match...
Five Civilized Nations
25-12-2003, 21:09
That would have been Athens...

Take either Mycanae or Delos if you want to follow that strategy...
Thakan Dar
25-12-2003, 21:16
I saw a Mycene, which is already taken, but no Mycanae. So, Delos it is.

Consider it claimed.

Sparta
Corinth
Athens
Argos
Thebes

Meet the Delian league. The 5 most powerful states in cental greece. Ask Athens about joining. But he will probably turn you down, it's limited membership, we don't want EVERYONE joining our alliance.
Thakan Dar
25-12-2003, 22:03
As Delian is the adjective form of Delos, I would like to apply to the Delian League as an ally of its member city-states.

Delos is the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, and a prosperous trading centre on the flank of the Athenian state.

We may not be strong, but we're rich... :D

My message WAS aimed at the player representing Athens. I don't know who that is precisely (the only clue is that they are the one who played Venice last time, which means nothing to me) so I made it a general comment. Do you think you could be more specific about who the Athenian player is? And can I get confirmation of my role as Delos, or am I not yet included?

Athens: wait until you are an actual city state, then ask him on the RPG forums

Delos: wait until Xander get's back (the creator of this thread)

Heh, byzantium wasnt part of Thrace, it wasnt powerfull either, but it was it governed itself. and its not part of greek thrace, its part of Roman thrace, the region. Play Byzantium if you want .

Over 1500 City states existed at one point, Ive just clumped them together into Vassal States ect.

Delos is a seperate power aswell. You dont need to ask him, i just forgot to colour the island cluster and therefore it got left white

Its a Rich Trading Post like Naxos and Smyrna.

The date was decided at 520BCE Before the Delian League was created, Athens is calling it the Delian league because it sounds better then his last name "The Tripartiate" the alliance of 3 in the medieval RP It eventually got to about 6 member in the one alliance, but it began to break down with the dawn of Saracen Power.

Athens is being Played by Abreyad our Abreuyad uck its something like that. The game will be starting Soon so all signups should be in, we do except signups Mid game though, and youll be componsated for the ammounts missed.
