The Egyptians leave Carthage. They advance quickly to the IOM to meet their armies, leaving the men at Carthage far behind. We need someone unbiased for the IOM-Egypt battle.
You realize that neither Army Group Exolon nor Army Group Delta have left the IoM, right? And no, you cannot just bypass Carthage so quickly. Movement takes time. The IoM hears of the coming of the barbarian horde long before it arrives. The defenses are prepared and the Army Groups stand at the walls, ready to repel the invasion. The stores, filled to the brims and many, will last a long time. The farms within the city and fort walls will sustain the IoM long after all others would have fallen. And yes, I can do an unbiased battle.
I imagine since this is based off of Cyrus the Great we will see his tactics? If so I have a plan to rape him...
No, Imperial is gonna write something up. And what is with these people on the thread wanting to rape an old man 100 years dead?
*Yawn* Yeah... I'll write it up tomorrow. But we need to fix this insta-teleport of Egyptian forces first. See you gents tomorrow. Dawn will break red.
I never teleported the Egyptians! We are over the course of one year ya know. OK see you tommorow. This thread is pretty slow now, going to update maps tom
Because he invented Calvary warfare? One of the Greatest Generals ever? Created the Persian Empire? Would be an astronomical achievement if we do? Threatens all civilized nations? The list goes on and on...
Jesus Christ I typed out this whole thing and then accidentally deleted it. Fuck me. Ok, so basically on Wednesday I said I started training 10k men per 6 months. 60,000 Levies got trained because that was 3 days ago. Posted this on Tuesday: 36,000 Slave Warriors (the 30,000 I gathered plus the 6,000 I had way back in the Barbarian war.) 30,000 Horsemen (they abandoned Kiev to join the Horde/trained) 150,000 Hungarian Levies 190,000 Scythian Levies 50,000 Poznan Soldiers (trained) Siege Machines (trained) I apparently had 36k Slaves, not 16k. I send those 36k Slave Warriors to Carthage all the same @Thefatkid I'll assume that like a third of the trained levies are like archers, a third are horsemen, and say a third are spearmen. 50,000 Scythian Horsemen (trained) 150,000 Hungarian Levies 130,000 Scythian Levies 20,000 Scythian Archers (trained) 20,000 Scythian Spearmen (trained) 50,000 Poznan Mercenaries (trained) Siege Machines (trained) 420,000 Soldiers. I send 150,000 Hungarian Levies and 50,000 Scythian Levies to Poznan for a bit. If Poznan is awesomesauce he'll train them at a rate of 10k men per 6 months. Also because they're basically worthless cannonfodder to him if they're kept as Levies. @Viking Socrates That leaves me in New Scythia: 50,000 Scythian Horsemen (trained) 80,000 Scythian Levies 20,000 Scythian Archers (trained) 20,000 Scythian Spearmen (trained) 50,000 Poznan Mercenaries (trained) Siege Machines (trained) 220,000 Soldiers available. On Wednesday I began work on 40 Triremes and docked 105 Scythian Ships (95 Scythian Triremes, 10 Frisian Longboats) in a port in New Scythia: I have 145 Scythian Ships now (10 Frisian Longboats, 135 Scythian Triremes).
Also it's like 11:30 PM tonight here and I don't want to bother with this tomorrow, so I'll just say that the 20k men that will be trained for tomorrow are made into Swordsmen. My army comp is thus: 50,000 Scythian Horsemen (trained) 60,000 Scythian Levies 20,000 Scythian Archers (trained) 20,000 Scythian Spearmen (trained) 20,000 Scythian Swordsmen (trained) 50,000 Poznan Mercenaries (trained) Siege Machines (trained) 220,000 Soldiers total. You'll have to sail them over yourselves, sorry. I plan to use my ships against the Horde in another manor.
My 220,00 Scythian soldiers (above post) will be boarded in to the 145 Scythian Ships and sent to land in Egypt and begin besieging major cities in the Delta region as they land. Ships will be kept at the ready in case an emergency evacuation has to take place. Obviously it'll be an hour or so before they arrive though. To anyone who might be thinking of helping us, I am very thankful for your consideration. But I don't need it, bluntly put. Carthage is the nation that needs aid. Please, send your help there.
About time somebody does.... The Levantines, Tyre, and Dalmatians are doing a WW2 France here, and hiding beind there forts. Egypt lies unguarded. If Cyrus wins in Carthage then soon ALL of us will need aid.
The new Persian people assembles to the north of the Levitians and East of where Babylon would be. 5 provinces surrounding the first province are taken and they start to farm and gain resources. Training grounds are set up and researches begin work on horseback archers, strong, long range bows and Hoplite like spears. These will take a year to research.
