Sounds reasonable, and since Judea is on board, great. The province is nice, but the Temple more important I'd say.

I'll probably need to do the heavy lifting here next, and direct my army to take down the ARA doomstack. So I will plot accordingly ...

We are all agreed then.

Egypt will remove its armies from Arabian areas to ensure no accidental clashes this turn.....Seleucids can attack the doomstack and/or Samaria region of Palaestina Province with the Judeans as you both see fit.

Egypt will remain in Jerusalem until other areas are ready for exchange so that Egyptian troops can move from Jerusalem into Palaestina Province and then the following move take an unoccupied Samaria whilst the Judeans/Seleucids take Jerusalem. Peace offers will then be sent and accepted.

Judea wishes to ask if it may also be permitted to take the Red Sea coast region bordering Nabatea, if it does not station any troops there.

For what reason ?

Judea will already have access to the Red Sea ..

It would reduce the number of regions on the road to the coast by one, giving Judea a shorter route to the Red Sea, and it would prevent an Arabian enclave in Judea's rear, lowering the number of Judean regions susceptible to raids.

Well if you want to trade it for Jerusalem you are welcome to take the second region on the Red Sea coast .....otherwise given it took forever to arrange this agreement and we have three nations directly involved it will be best to stick to what has already been agreed.

As others have pointed out some rudimentary defences will stop any raids.

Judea will not contest this decision.

Too true

Congratulations are apparently due to the Saka.

Now at peace with the Seleucids having conducted a very successful campaign against Bactria. Impressive stuff.

Judea will capture Samaria this turn, and next turn will depart. Judea expects Ptolemaic armies to leave Jerusalem next turn as well, so that the region exchange may occur the turn after that. Peace may then be officially signed.

That sounds fine. As you can see I have already made my turn so when it comes back to me I shall do that. Note you will need to let the Egyptian troops leave Jerusalem before moving in or you risk instigating a battle with them which would not be wise.

If you are adjacent it may be better to enter via a second region to ensure Egyptian troops have had time to leave.

The concern of an accidental clash is why Judea stated that both Judea and Ptolemy will move their armies next turn, and the exchange will only occur the turn after that.

Understood.

I should really post in here.

Saka has accepted a peace treaty from the Selucids, as with the death of our allies, there is just to much land to the south to take.

We will seek other, more peaceful, westernly options for expansion.

(sorry Bactria, you were just in the way....)

Please do post more... We've heard enough about Judea and Pallestina.

If you are still intending to post a you tube lets play on this game I will be very interested to see how the Saka have been to play, never having chosen them as yet.

Could you guys put up some more maps, please?

Looks like you are having fun, I am wondering how it looks.

The Antigonids have a whole genre of epic poetry dedicated to their heroic victories over the massive hordes of Mauryans and Saka that tried to invade Persia.
