Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.

Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.

A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.

3/6

Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.

I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

It is possible that they gambled on us deciding not to defend Parsia. Their previous interactions indicate they don't really want to fight us.
It wouldn't be strange if, when presented with our army, they would agree to back down from Parsia.

You send an envoy, inviting Ajarat for negotiations.

The lone envoy's ride through the evening is a tense one; your scouts monitor the presence of his lit torch, but it seems that Simians are civilized enough, for he was not struck down.

You wait, and as the night progresses and the moon slowly climbs towards its highest point, the sentries report that the rider is returning, his torch lit.

The envoy kneels in front of you.

"Ajarat Padarashka is willing to negotiate, but tomorrow morning, after breakfast. He will take few dozen soldiers with him, for he have heard many tales about Methiant, and does not believe you can safeguard his life."

A) "I requested negotiations today! He refused, so we attack!"
B) "Very well, we will speak in the morning."

Your officers mention a certain possibility...

A) If he comes, we strke him down, and spread chaos in his army!
B) If he comes, we negotiate. Tis what I wanted!

Our angle for negoiations: We understand the position and grievance of the Sim Empire. If Emperor Sim had brought this matter to us, we would have surely taken his side in the issue.

Instead he invaded Parsia, a nation under our sphere of influence, putting us in a tough position; If we do not defend it, I will look like a weak emperor, and Methiant will come across as a phony power.

With this in mind, Here is my proposal: Why should we throw out a profitable friendship and waste the two most mighty armies in human history fighting each over disputed borderland? I invite your emperor to name any nation that is not a friend or vassal of Methiant, and we will invade it together, splitting its wealth and land, each gaining many times more than the paltry amount that is at stake in this conflict. If your emperor specifically wishes to make the Parsians pay in blood, I shall drag them along on our joint conquest so that they may bleed for his cause.

Pass this message along to your Emperor, and withdraw from Parsia. You may hold one of the cities you have captured as insurance until negotiations are complete, and I will maintain some of my army in the region to prevent Parsia from trying to take it back. If Emperor Sim wishes to meet me face to face, he can do so on neutral ground at my sister Siri's upcoming wedding in Helliste. Otherwise I await his reply by envoy.

it’s better than no plan at all 1+

The real angle for negotiations is probably going to be more like:

A: U'S BAD MAN NOW FIGHT
B: OKAYS WE SURRENDER
C: DURRRR GET THE FUCK OUT BOIIII

We should remember him that Parsia entered our field of influence because we waged war on then when they declared war to Gutba trying to save their asses


But whatever happens here we should invite the king of parsia for a private talk and say that we are done with their bullshit, if they need our help they should pay for protectorade or if their money is low supply us with something, be it tech like that weird warrior they used against us be it resources like ketton cloth or something

and don't dare they to just talk about "we are weak because you won the war" that everybody knows that we declared war because they entered started screwing other religions and non-parsian peoples under the banner of a warmongering fucker
