Anagaea: A New Era of Empires - 160BC

[Taciturn]

The funds that were stolen from the treasury were the private property of the leaders of Plexia, so whoever took part in the theft has it coming.  This is personal.  
Mercenaries are hired by the leaders of Plexia and some of the stolen funds have already been returned.  It is announced that any funds returned within 2 days will mean that the thief will get off with nothing but the shame of having stolen something.  After the two days are up, all bets are off.  

Plexian ships return from Avalonia with a "new" metal.  Quantities of low-grade steel increase the number of swords in Plexia.  

A Plexian landing party (unknown to Plexia, obviously) has reached a distant land after some time.  It is Espovon.  
We'll see how this goes.

Atenisian land traders have been discovered in Auria. The traders are welcomed with open arms and warm regards.

The road leading to Calzone is finished. Traders rejoice and pack up in caravans to reap the fruits of this discovered country.

[Swat 3]

Atenisian land traders seem rather talkative about the war in the north.

[Kochieboy]

The war in the north gets spread through like wildfire in Auria. People are curious about the other countries in the world. Even the council hears about it, facinated by the origin of the traders and the countries in the north.

Curious explorers begin roaming the land, mapping the areas they see.

[Swat 3]

I really meant North East, but I hope you got the drift.

I get it, it's fine.

The Aspian military arrives to meet the albitonic armies. In it's entirety, the Aspian military stands resolute with 15,000 men. Hoplites take positions at the fronts, shield bearers within every second row with their shields raise, with the front and side shield bearers shielding their fronts. The back is left unguarded, however with this in mind, Aspidis lets loose the best of their trained lions upon any initial cavalry that may attack them, with the a bit of the war elephants moving along towards the bulk of the Albitonic infantry, archers atop firing at major distractions for the elephants paths, as well as to intervene in attempts to frighten the elephants off their paths. With this happening, the majority of the Aspian force pushes forward, archers firing from the back of the formation as the infantry push forwards, their improvised units (beehive throwers and stuff) move into to cause mayhem among the bulks of their enemies formations and Hyena's act in place of warhounds, using the larger canines, and when close enough are unleashed upon the enemy.

The force pushes forward, despite however faint the chance of winning is.

I saw no result of my attempts/attacks n' stuff, could I get any input or are we awaiting grand master Miko?

I think they are trying to plan out how horrible your "trained" animals are going to react to spears being thrown at them.

Plot twist: Lions eat everyone.

[grunterdb1951]

I think they are trying to plan out how horrible your "trained" animals are going to react to spears being thrown at them.

The lions have been voided, and hyena's are considerably easy to be trained, so stop acting like a egotistical cunt lord and silently suggesting that my men are bumbling idiots and can't train a animal to fight. Throwing a spear at a spotted hyena is more than likely going to piss it off more than it's going to scare it, and hyena's have the ability to fend off lioness' so I'm confident they can physically hold themselves from two spears, considering we're assuming these will be beasts that are sprinting after the enemy to tear them to ribbons.

The Aspian experiments with many wild animals proves very difficult.  Once in a battlefield scenario, the animals will not cooperate and will attack indiscriminately.  The consequence of removing these animals results in overpopulation of grazing animals, thus the diminishing of usable grazing land.

Cattle and any such domestic animals starve, however, hunting is becoming a popular sport and way of life.

Don't kill the messenger.

[Mikoyan]

How many animals are we talking about here?

[mlockha]

Don't kill the messenger.

You mean the messenger that's writing it? That term means don't kill the person giving a message when someone else had the idea behind it.

[SWAT One]

How many animals are we talking about here?

Miko, update the OP and stuff.  I sent you the formats last night.

[Kochieboy]

Farmers have discovered a particular fertility in the land for grapes. Vineyards are established.

Miners have hit a rich vein of gold in the mountains, gold production has increased.

Trade is offered to Caprica.

Caprica is always willing to grant trade rights to foreign nations

Many new defensive structures are built around cities, and on borders. Recruitment is on the rise. A new branch of the military is being organized, one more focused on attacking potential treats, or invading other countries.

A letter is sent to Auria alerting them of Capriaca's intentions to build military structures along its border facing Auria. It urges the Aurian government that this is not in anyway a hostile measure, just a preventive one.

Settlers begin to settle the eastern fringes of Caprica, royal guards is sent to protect these settlers (About 250).

Blacksmiths are working on creating more ornate, yet strong armor. Progress is good
