Supreme Leader Supreme has personally sent letters now to each and every participant in the war, stating that their trade ships are under protection while not in the Meditteranean Sea, and that London warships can defends them from pirates and other hostiles. "A major breakthrough has occurred in our work with the iron and triremes sir." Supreme Leader Supreme had been enjoying his lunch when the lead scientist had interrupted, but he was now interested. "Go on. Tell me about this breakthrough." "Well sir, we have applied the iron in many ways, and it hasn't worked in most of these ways, however, we have found one particular way to increase the power of the trireme. Now the iron usually weighs down the trireme if put as a ram, but, we have found a way to add an light iron armor on the ship. we have tested this out and the results conclusively show that this trireme is at least 100% more effective, and that attempting to ram the ship is ineffective, unless done multiple times." "Excellent work. Amazing work. You are dismissed and you and your team shall be paid 5,000 gold pieces, each."
Sweden has announced it is splitting its army in two, Army group A will in-charge of conquering North Sweden while Army group B will be in charge of heading to Norway (make sure to update that when you get to the map) @General Mosh Poznan is heading towards the Baltic, quickly setting up villages and agricultural towns along the way, as well as building roads to increase the supply lines. Any idea on the next map update.
I suppose Scythia will begin a naval build up over the next few years. With any luck we'll construct maybe 70 ships maximum. It'd also like to request advisers from the major naval powers to guide us in building the ships. Did you just create an ironclad in 450 BC?
No. It isn't an ironclad simply because: 1) There are no cannons 2) It can still be rammed into and destroyed 3) It is still exposed on its deck, so it can be boarded and it can be burnt But I can try and change its application if it seems like godmodding.
Sparta has finished there underground Aqueduct. Now Sparta is a completely self sufficient city with our agriculture inside the cities walls.
Tyre appreciates the integrity of the Levantine Kingdom and it's decision to honour our alliance, and will send military supplies after our initial weapons buildup. We believe it would be vital for Levantine ships to bolster our current allied fleet, so that when the time comes for open naval battle we can face the Carthaginians with a much stronger fleet. As for colonisation, I will take three territories to the south.
They had aqueducts in the ancient world bro. They had underground to. That one in particular is Valens aqueduct in Constantinople. The construction of it ended in 368 Ad, 100 years before the dark ages.
