Tyrian purple (worth 20-15x the worth of gold)

Nice try, but no way in hell. Not plentiful to be a profitable trade commodity. You neglected to mention that it's scarce as well as valuable.

Yes, only my allies will receive it if they wish. Also, your neglecting that many things were more expensive then gold at the time: silk for example.

"Tyrian purple was one of the most highly valued commodities in the ancient Mediterranean, being worth fifteen to twenty times its weight in gold. High Roman officials could only afford togas with a small stripe of it. Carthage also produced a less-valuable crimson pigment from the cochineal." Under the economy article.

Derp, no I'm not. I'm saying that due to the long manufacturing process, with the yields so small per shellfish used, it'd be impossible to make a decent profit for your nation. Smart-arse.

Well like I said I ain't selling it to everyone...

Illyira and Pannonia greets the mighty Carthagians. We believe that you will be a good trading partner, would you care to trade? Your bronze for our stone?

The faraway Bosporan Kingdom wishes to trade our Game for your Wool, it gets awfully chilly up here during the winter.

We accept.

[Laurence]

Mighty Sparta wants to ally you.Do you accept?

Sparta:An enemy of our enemy is a friend.

But how do you know for sure that the enemy of your enemy is your friend? Maybe they are not friends, but those who would wish to undermine the foundations of your little reign?
Don't be so quick to choose enemies and allies, for soon your friend may be your enemy and your enemy your friend.

I wouldn't expect your feeble mind to comprehend my theorise, Spartan.

Relations updated..

(Carthage will try to be peaceful with all Greeks because Carthage only wishes to rule the Western Mediterranean. City-states such as Athens, Pergamon, and others will be treated with respect: we won't fight for anything that doesn't belong to Carthage.)

[Jakev2]

King Theokritos I of Pergamon is pleased that our nations hold a mutual respect for each other, and would like to extend this into a friendship with a trade agreement: our olives for your bronze, at 10% extra in favour of the Carthaginians.

[cooki3]

King Hano accepts this generous offer from his new friends of the East.

[Doyler]

Bump.
