Agarthian aggression.

[Elkad]

Once again Agarthia has declared war on New Avalon.  The cited reason is "cultural incursions".  As a fellow neighbor to Agarthia, you would do well to look to your own defenses as well.  If a bit of Avalonian culture in a volcano-blasted pasture is an issue leading to an invasion, you can bet that Agarthia will not take lightly to your harmless cultural incursions in the nearby rice paddies either.

The position of the Avalonian people is  bit of natural exchange along our borders causes no harm, and your religious center at Dun-Kurigalzu is an inspiration to people on all sides of the border.  Avalon wishes nothing more than to live in peace along our coast, but if Agarthia persists in this invasion, we must fight.  We would warn the leaders of Babylon to look to the future and consider the security of their own borders.  Agarthia has already broken one agreement with New Avalon, will any agreements with you last any longer than what they deem convenient?

My friend, we do not forget the attemp of warrior rush you tried to do when our future holy city was settled and that only menace of doom to your force made you to return home. My deals with Agarthia are with myself and their leader and Avalon has no morality to try to talk about cultural pressures, given that you were the last one to settle the area in a clear attemt to use your traits to grab land that was rightfully from other peoples.

In this moment , my forces are marching to the city you settled to steal my metals peacefully after your feeble attempt to grab it by war. They will not come back home untill all the cultural pressure over my holy city lands is removed, peacefully or not. any agreement with you will have to pass through those conditions

Dear Elkad,

Do not try to convince our friends to join your cause.  Babylon and Agarthia have enjoyed many years of peace and cooperation.  Yes, we have had border issues, but we worked them out.  Your incursion into Babylon lands early in the game only puts you in a place of being untrustworthy.  Ricardo is a friend of Viktors.  Since the dawn of time, we have always viewed the Babylonians as an ally.  As far as our two nations go, I never blamed you for the pasture being destroyed, but the constant border pressure that your city is bringing to the area.  The city was plopped down without concent from Agarthia or Babylon.  Agarthia is willing to lose control of the rice fields to Babylon.  That is no issue for us as we have worked out a detailed pact with Babylon.  However, we are not willing to lose control of the cows.  Thus creates the issue of the city you put there.  That city is causing culture pressure on our cattle, and you stole copper from the Babylonians early on, along with your warrior rush.  I do regret the second incursion into your lands, but I must look after our people and our cities.  Eagleton would again starve, and cause that city to a economic depression.  That is too much.  I have tried to contact you to work out a deal, but I did not recieve any responses.  Along with that, I am sure you will not surrender Alyssia to our control.  So here we are now, extending out political agenda through our military.  We welcome the Babylonians to help achieve our military objectives as we will help the Babylonians achieve their military objectives.
