[garato]

Georgian Tzar shows an indifference to all disasters on his lands...
Hope, Seljuks gonna be wise and stop their movement to the west.Please no more attempts to occupy Georgians lands.Must to declare,a big army of my Empire has took positions near Kutaisi.Think you self.
To Romans.To see your strolling General on my lands is very funny.May be he has not money to back to Constantinopole?Do I need to buy him a ticket on a ferry to Byzantium?I hardly stop my troops were going to kill him.Please,order him to leave my lands.
At last I have to declare to all civilized people about barberian behavour of Abbasids.
The Abbasids has offered me the peace at last year.I was agreed.But now I got a message -My fort has destroyd near Seleukia and all garrison was terminated.I have no evidence but nobody exept Abbasids forcies could to do this crime.

Your fort had no reason to be there. If Abbassids would have not destroyed it I would have do it myself.

Seljuks declared at last turn they took 4 georgian townes.I wonder,how it possible to do at one step without a siege?Or I misunderstood something?

One spy is more valuable then two armies ...

[Empedocles]

@garato, the alliance betweenm the romans and the Kypchaks you command is one of the most lasting ones in this game. together we managed to defeat the turks , you took Constantinople from them while I helped you to recover the Crimea from them.
Seleukia was a gift from the roman emperor to your people.

I want to know if I expect this alliance to last.

What is the current political situation? It seems that the West of the map goes under war! What about Georgian and Seljuks; has the war ended?

Seljuk empire is in the middle of the map, We are the great divid between the East & the West.
And if you haven't noticed the war on our Western side has only just begun.

[garato]

To Romans
Thank you for the reminding,but at present my people are alarmed and my officers are getting suspicious to each movement...Abbasids and Seljuks gave us to see their real faces.
I m definitly for our alliance!Moreover,ask for you the help to protect Seleukia.Save my castle and people.

[Cyrus Kabir]

I don't need your wooden castle, just keep your garisson to a minimum. However Armenia rejects my peace offers so I will have to terminate them. After I conquer Tarsus I will keep my garissons in Cilicia only to a necessary minimum. I hope the Romans will avoid a new war with Saladin.

Al-Khalifha is surpirised by this complain. He thinks there're no reason for it, as the distruction of that fort was an obvious conseguence of Kychpak Khan's refusal to our white peace offer. In Al-Khalifha opinion, the sequence of the happenings was:
1 - The Kychpak suddenly attacked our lands, pillaged our villages and slained our Crown Prince by ambushing him alone without an escort.
2 - The army of the Caliphate surprised the raiders trying to pass the Tigris: a crude battle begun and the Kychpak Khan died fighting as a Lion against our mercenaries. The rest of his army retired in a fort in our territory.
3 - As the death of the heir to the Caliphate had been vendicated, instead of attacking your fort (whose gates had been opened by our spies) Al-Khlifha generously decided to offer the new Khan a white peace. But he denyed, even he knew his troops had been defeated and spared only as a sign of good will, and bravely asked for a tribute (a tribute! a tribute for having killed our prince and wasted our lands, a tribute for having been defeated on the battlefield!). It was clear this unwise request was based on the fact the Kychpaks still had troops in our lands. And it was clear too that this refusal would had signed the doom of these troops camping in our caliphate with no right.
4 - Even if he had easely defeated the rest of the raider army and even if the Khan had been unwise, Al-Khalifha offered a white peace again. The Khan asked for military access with no need, but Al-Khalifha decided not to see the bad intent this request hid and signed the peace.

In the end, we don't see how the destrucion of that camp - which, as our good and mighty ally the Sultàn Salah ud-Din said, had no reason to be where it was - can astonish the Khan, as he caused it by refusing our first generous peace offer.

[demostene]

Our good allies the Great Seljuks up!

Al Khalifha has to answer the Kypchak Khan his peace offer isn't acceptable. Your raiders, Allah knows it, passed our borders and ambushed our crown prince, and the Khalifha does know their first goal was to pillage in his provinces. But with Allah's help the Khan was killed, his horde crushed and the rest of his army defeated this summer. Now, how can the new Khan - who we hope is willing to become a friend, and not an enemy, of the Caliphate - ask for a tribute? A white peace is the most generous offer the Khalifha can propose. Accept it, and let's peace be done.

And, speaking more frankly, we said it. So I can't see your point. I propose to take it easy, anyway - things are hotting up too much here.

[Cyrus Kabir]

...anyway - things are hotting up too much here.

Yeah demostene is right; I'am curios what will happen next

[Commander Ruunu]
