Dacia accepts, however, at the current moment, it can spare no manpower to help build the road, as it is currently embroiled in a massive war. We are in desperate need of aid and plead for you to send reinforcements to Macedon. This action will grant Dalmatia and its trading partners favor in the Coalition of Non-Player States (CNPS) which includes Macedon, Dacia, Armenia, and Moscow. This will allow the Great Road to stretch to these city-states. Moscow forces, having finished in the northern part of Scythia, burn their way halfway from the midpoint connecting North and South Scythia to Kiev. Armenia sends its garrison to Macedon (excepting the 25,000 levees in training) and raises 25,000 more levees into the training ranks. Dacia raises 25,000 more levees to the training ranks.
After years of research and development, Tyrian engineers have developed a successful prototype of a crossbow. Once they are mass-produced, they will be distributed to city guard units, as such weapons would be useful when defending from walls or fortified positions. Ballistas will also be installed along some towers on the walls of Tyre.
Crossbows aren't even in this time-period let along 400BC. We have to stay within tech of this time period. @General Mosh It is why my troops can't have chain-mail.
OOC: Tell that to my repeating crossbow, which was found in a Chinese tomb dating to 400 BC. I armed my guys at IoM with these ages ago. So, @Epiccheesegrater, You can't have the crappy European-style, but IoM is willing to trade for the repeating one.
Yes but we are in Europe, it isn't here yet. So he doesn't have one, the guy connected to the silk road, but you do? *facepalm*
Remember when we said this wasn't historically accurate? He named his country after something from Warhammer 40,000 and has used ancient Chinese equipment all the time, even though he's in Morocco.
OOC: Mosh said to stay in the Classical Era, not to stay in Europe. My entire military at IoM is based off of Chinese technology, with some exceptions. NO... That is outside the timeframe for the game and unreasonably so. MY Chinese technology is all well within the timeframe, some even coming from before.
You do realize chain-mail was invented only 100 years from now... That isn't much how much is respectively in the time frame?

I guess that is alright. Given the length of the era, I think we can allow things up to around 200 BC or so. If it is necessary, we can stretch further later. @General Mosh @darthdj31 What do you guys think? I think we need to keep it Classical, but a stretch here isn't too bad. @Epiccheesegrater You do know that the blockade of the Strait of Gibraltar ended like 50+ pages ago, right?
