Your Rome now. Although you had broken an alliance with Tyre I believe I had made. Can Babylon ally with your league? Hey guys with ELEFANTES, note that they are UNPREDICTABLE in battle. EXTREMELY PRONE TO NOT DOING WHAT YOU WANT, I can give you historical examples.
170 boats? A low estimate would have the naval arm at 30,000 people. Which means the total Carthaginian army can be UP TO 30,000.
Nobody said they were there yet we said we were going to siege another month they have plenty of time to get here.
Levantine Emmisaries continue to meet with Tyrian officials, imploring them to help Athens, which could deliver a hefty blow to Sparta.
soon master weapon-smith, master engineer, and a master carpenter sent a letter to the greek requesting 20 clay jugs of greek fire for improvements.
Carthage had 300 boats at the height of it's power. Throughout most of there history they had close to 200. Not only that, but we are only manning 90 not all 170. We ask rome if they will send 20,000 troops. We will bribe your political enemies to never touch you again. @russianguy8745 We will give you it if you help us take Athens.
Tyre will listen to whatever the Levantines can bring to the table, though we personally doubt our forces can match the combined might of Sparta, Rome and Carthage.
So I thought about it. Athens itself is totally fucked unless Tyre and the Levantine have a sudden change of heart, which they probably wont (even though the Levantine does kind of want to help, Tyre was adamant about peace). But I don't think the Athenian nation should be destroyed. I'm moving the Scythian army/navy to the Athenian colonies on Anatolia in order to save the Athenians there. In the mean time they can be put to work building catapult that can fire from outside the walls of the cities and upon an invading army just in case Spartan greed is too great. As well scout ships will be deployed the North and Eastern and Central Aegean to report on any "enemy" fleet movements.
Dalmatian ships protecting trade routes in the Mediterranean have been ordered to intercept all ships crossing anywhere. They are to question each ship and determine who the ship belongs to, where it is headed and who is on board. Dalmatia will then decide if the ship can continue. This is for the purpose of stopping pirates, and is a temporary measure while this war carries on.
Greek fire was used by the Assyrians, it should feasibly be in the time-frame. I'm pretty sure states at the time would have used it.
