Phase War: Voms in it and aftermath.
I don't entirely know the skill of your army or its style, but I am fighting with a classic Persian Army, specializing in heavy cavalry, horse archers and foot archers. You may have a lot of success at first with us, but I would prefer it if we won a crushing victory at some point that would rally our national pride which has been so wounded for so long. In the treaty, I have a plot hook for both of us about the panhandle where it is traditionally our lands and has a mix of your people and mine, with mine being the majority. Unfortunately, it would mess with your own economy and thus unless it is absolutely fine by you, i won't push it.
Navy wise, I think we are likely on the same tier as you were during the war and I would argue that we effectively control the strait between North and South. We would be on the defensive.
For me, I want several heroes to arise from this war that dominate politics in my nation for the next 30 years and around current time, they fade. There is a bit of irony that my nation and 774 were once mortal enemies but now fighting together and I assume we did before this as well. How warlike is your nation?
See map for my changes in essence.

Since this is a war of national embarrassment, I think that sounds great.

I think is this more compelling and it draws into our intial idea with the CIO. I think that not making the CIO as powerful if we do something like this sounds wise as thinking from a geopolitical stance, it probably makes more sense for the local nations to profit from our defeat as much. I will retool the economy at somepoint with a new map.
Navy
I think we should have fleet combat early in the war, as aeg's fleet would be with us and we can figure out how successful. Perhaps successful as that would entice the outsiders to join. I would imagine the fear of another great power rising in Indeia would cause 2434 to join and make us not imbeciles to provoke them by killing merchants.
Warlike
Like our thread, very militant. We would certainly have had wars with you in the past but what would make this different is aeg falling to us. We will see what he wants to do with that but it sounds good, I am not good with milautism, so I likely need help and I think you are so I kindly ask you.
