I have a pretty well rounded army that's pretty much unlike any in real history. Plenty of archers and cavalry. Prefer to use barbarians much like the civilization described in Moore's Utopian society.
Avalonia has a high enough population and technology rivaled only by Erinaum's (some of which was gifted by Avalonia), that even if barbarians were not used, my troops could put up quite a fight.
Swat, your my ally, but I must point out that my navy is better than yours. I've got more ships simply because I've been making them longer, I paid you for the iron ship tech, and I've been using catapults on ships as well. I'd say we're pretty much even in terms of naval power.
Avalonia's far side expedition returns after suffering from an unknown disease at sea. AValonian physicians have come to the conclusion that the crews fell victim to malnourishment. Further inquiry will be made into the matter to ensure nautical saftey.
