Dearest Grijalva

Spiders taste good
We not like them very much
NAP 3 so they die?

Three headed dragons
They are big, have fire breath
How make them suffer?

we cuddle you, if you like that
BvG, Shinuyama



PS: Translation for foreign monkeybrains:

We should team efforts against the spider riders, and then eat them. Unfortunately, They employ those huge three headed dragons, any hints about killing em?

We've a proposition for our gravelly goblin opponents-- relinquish the sea to us, and we shall grant an NAP-5 so that you might concentrate on murdering the spiders.

To Machaka:

If we don't receive the agreed upon payment, unpleasant things may happen.

We've been quite patient.

Ah, sure!

This was all about reaching Machacka to begin with, and I think i got that a-plenty

however due to capital placement, western sea of storms (12) cannot be easily included in such a deal. If you agree to that exemption, then we got a nap 5.

PS: I assume you retract your demand for those last coastal provinces, so I'll continue there, but am ready to leave, in case I was mistaken.

The entire sea is the deal, or face a two-front war.
An NAP-5 will give you ample warning should we wish to attack you; you've little to fear from the Western Sea of Storms.

As compensation, we shall relinquish Moorway (79) to you; we only wish the small province of Lower Hoburgia (84).
I trust you can see the strategic value in this.

-------------------------------------------------------------

To Machaka:

There is no treachery-- we are still at peace.
We simply sold you some land that you requested. (The payment we've received just this turn, which we thank you for.)

We made no promise to remain at war with Shinuyama indefinitely.

We're quite simply withdrawing from all surface conflicts, as we likely should have done long ago.
We shall keep a single tea-selling kiosk on the beach, and return to the waves.

Ah you drive a hard bargain... yet again. I agree.

However, be informed that this was one of the factors that let me to start with you in the first place.

Luckily, that should not be a trouble this time-- all the transit routes are open and clear.
'Tis good that our peace is finally solidified.

Advisory for Machaka:

Shinuyama should be withdrawing from Lower Hoburgia (84), as per agreement.
Holding or placing PD in this province will be considered an immediate act of war, placing you in a three-front conflict.

Otherwise, we have no quarrel with either of you and wish both sides interesting battles in the coming conflict.

To clarify: We do not care if a battle takes place there, now that Shinuyama currently possesses it-- we simply care that the single province is returned to us peacefully after all the troop movements are settled. (Whosoever comes out as the victor.)

This should not materially impact either economy or army mobility.

We are, of course, open to negotiation in all matters. (Should it be necessary.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

We shall also reiterate this:

Just in case.
