Sparta Allies with Perdiccas (CYOAH!3)

A Spartan delegation reaches Perdiccas II of Macedon, arranging for a royal marriage in exchange for Macedonian loyalty. Furthermore Macedon is promised Therma returned to it, as well as gains on the peninsula.

Athens as a result sends its support to Perdiccas' Philip, who seeks to usurp the throne, dividing Macedon's forces, while also allying with King Sitalkes of Thrace, who declares war on Perdiccas.

Sparta's forces, en route to aid the Macedonians, assault Acarnania. However, while Macedonian and Spartan forces find success here, the Thracians use this opportunity to invade Macedon proper.

Your involvement does repulse the Athenians from Potidaea, however they manage to fall back having not been defeated due to Macedon's preoccupation with the Thracian invasion. Macedon sues for peace with the Thracians, while Sparta gains the newly created Chalkidian League as a weak but dedicated ally.

The Athenians now focus on the Spartan invasion of Acarnania, and the surrounding area. Cnemus commands 1,000 hoplites from Sparta, as well as 2,000 allied troops. By assaulting the key cities of the region many of Athenians allies can be quickly knocked out of the war, however, the stronghold of Naupactus under Athenian control leaves them with naval control over the Corinthian gulf, and a dangerous opportunity to oppose you. Although the port city is well defended, the loss of Naupactus would cripple Athenian naval dominance in the region.


 * Acarnania, Zacynthus, and Cephallenia can be knocked out of the war, have Cnemus focus on these states.
 * Regroup and assault Naupactus, the major Athenian stronghold in the region.
 * Abandon Acarnania.
