NO! I'll be honest with you, I have no idea how I am going to do this battle. Oh, and the forces that darth sent me are now reaching your empire. They have orders to move south and burn anything and everything in their path. The same orders have gone to the forces @Viking Socrates sent me and the Macedonians that I have sent. Macedon places 20,000 men into cavalry training. Oh, I'm about to write the battle out. Send me your force strength/compostion.
Armenia lied. We go straight to the middle of the Scythian Empire, in plans for cutting off the head in two.
You realize the war would look like this: Venice , COG , Levantine Empire , Tyre , Athens VS. Rome , Sparta. Go ahead and help Sparta. I'll enjoy sacking Rome. Is that why when I said 'Bitch! you ally with them I'll squash you.' You said, 'Yes Mas'ta.'?
The Sherman campaign of 442 B.C. arrives smack dab middle of the Scythian nation. They proceed to pillage and burn. How can I send troops to Moscow when its surrounded by forces almost seven times my numbers?
Towards Moscow, but don't enter Moscow terrictory. They are currently deep inside that area, so don't worry. If they start coming south, just keep burning everything.
No, they are just allies. The COG is my vassal state, and will do as I say. So, Rome, are you going to war the Empire?
As to be expected from dirty Georgians Armenians! Regional governors form a council in Southern Scythia in order to delegate power while the North is cut off. The 10,000 riders and however many slaves they've gathered (probably ~3,000) are pulled to Kiev proper. A series of underground messengers is created to maintain some communication between the halves. But not much can be said for now. In the mean time Southern Scythia will begin raising and training 15,000 Horsemen.
The Macedonian force finally reaches the southern parts of Scythia. Burning and pillaging commence immediately.
