And really, your being ridiculous. Any population would not let there people fight to the death when it was a given they would be slaughtered.
Unnoticed before the charge a flame is seen. A flame of Sparta's own city in Cyprus burning to the ground.
So a bunch of far-off, outnumbered settlers, charging wildly into arrows killed three-hundred Levantine troops? Seems legit. Also, Tyre is appreciative towards the Levantines for capturing Cyprus from our barbarian foes, and we will negotiate a deal for joint control over Cyprus when the war is over.
Tyre will send five-thousand men to Cyprus, to bolster Levantine defenses, should any of our enemies try to retake it. We propose fortifications along all of the easiest landing points, if we defend those then we could defend Cyprus with ease.
Are these being pulled from the attack on Athens? A large fleet of 60 heavily armed Roman ships carrying 10,000 Roman soldiers sails towards Sicily. @DomoSunz, if you join us now we will allow you to have Sicily. If not Rome will wipe you out.
Godmodding. 300 of your settlers charging straight into a few volleys of 800 arrows would leave everyone dead. Mosh, help me out here? And btw, it's not Levantine Occupied. I fucking own it.
@Skyicewolf , I've sent five-thousand men your way, to Cyprus. I think we should organise some kind of defense, in case they try and retake it at some point. Also, @General Mosh , have any Babylonian/Persian armies arrived to reinforce the forces of the Phoenician alliance?
Consider yourself in control of 15,000 Babylonian spear men and archers as well as 2500 Babylonian horse archers and 1000 Babylonian heavy cavalry. This is basically all of Babylon's army.
You don't own Cyprus I owned Cyprus, You occupy it. In war you don't own it until negotiations,and I colonised it severel days ago. No we won't and here's why. Spartans were trained pretty much starving Population is gone and 7,000 men isn't much What you think women and children can't farm? My conclusion: We are hungry not starving.
Saying 'My people are tough' doesn't give you allowance to have 1/3 of your population fighting wars, with no repercussions. There would be serious food shortages. Like, many farms would have no one on them.
