The shadow of Sparta grows longer. Unless Arkadia finds more allies, it will face the Spartan force alone!
Tester’s tips
Arkadia might seem a peaceful land but it needs a very careful hand to ride the constantly changing tide of foreign politics. It sits in the middle of Peloponnese, bordering all of the Peloponnesian states, including Sparta. That makes it a perfect target when any of its neighbours decides to expand its borders.
You should not be fooled by the defense pact it has with Boeotia, these allies are too far away to give any rapid and effective help when needed. It is much smarter to try to get as many of its small neighbors on its side as possible to create a Peloponnesian coalition against Sparta.
Sparta is not unfriendly from the start but it is more powerful than any of the southern states and it will use its military force sooner or later.
