Well, I just had a chat with Asterix. it went well until I asked him to verify that he was not the same person as Maga. Unfortunatelly he got mad and officially withdrew his offer to help us with Rome. 
Well, asking him to help us was never going to work if he couldn't get Rome to talk with us (note: I asked him about this earlier, and he made no guarantee, so unfortunately we can't do this) and continues to be unreasonable in his diplo.
He's still open to incense deal, but for now I actually think trading with India is better, don't really want to help out Asterix any more. He also wanted an NAP to turn 250 in exchange for his cooperation with Rome.
