Hello Stephen

I am afraid you have to be patient, most players are passed this now, so I understand your predicament. You get 1 article per day, lets hope you strike lucky, once you get Taras completed all articles can be purchased with glory points, which will be a lot less hassle for you.

- Ask coalition mates if they have a spare one.

- If you have a duplicate, go to trades and see if someone wants your duplicate for something else or make your own trade.

- Get lucky on each day

- Or buy articles when they are super on sale. Like 50-60 drachme (can't remember exactly) for 1 article instead of 120-180.

I am a new player and find it impossible to get any new agreements. How do I go about doing so especially when none are available at the port. The agreement I need is the Ithaca agreement. Any help is appreciated

Welcome to Sparta!

All the advises above are good, as a long term player, I can also tell you that growth seems to be slow sometimes, but soon you will look back and be surprised about all the road you made! 

Finding a good coalition with people that like to play as a team would be very helpful. Good luck!⚔
