Antigonus Hapsburg?

If I were the Judeans I would be more worried at the prospect of Antigonus Ben-Gurion....

So this new Antigonus is going to travel back in time and become the original Antigonus. Got it.

My point was that Judea may end up with a leader called Antigonus given the expansion of the Antigonids in this game

Ptolemy and Judea had reached an agreement that "Egypt will remain out of any Arabian/Judean conflict for now unless Judea tries to take the Arabian Capital," (direct quote from diplomatic communications). However, Ptolemy has just joined in Arabia's aggressive war against Judea without any Judean attempt to take the Arabian capital. This is unacceptable, and Judea is now seeking assistance from all just, righteous nations, either in putting diplomatic pressure on Ptolemy to leave Judea alone, or in giving Judea military assistance against Ptolemy.

Judea has no fear of fighting Ptolemy alone if necessary. The Almighty above, Protector of the Jewish Nation, will give us victory. Despite this, we must do our best to gain a victory through natural means, and call out for support. Let Ptolemy not take this request for support against his evil, unjust people as weakness on our part.

Let all the worlds nations join in defending God's people, and God will reward you with greatness.

Ptolemy reads this with some bemusement.

No Egyptian troops have attacked Judea.

We are in an Alliance with Arabia as we have been since long before Judea chose to attack her.

Have the High Priests been out too long in the sun or are they merely looking to provoke a fight with their neighbours ?

Perplexing indeed......
