Many of the old Spartans believe our new tactics are unneeded declaring "If it worked for our ancestors it will work for us!" The chancellor replied "It didn't". We show a demonstration on what we can do.
@Skyicewolf I agree about the war bears. As far as I know, they were never used to such an extent. The IoM begins training camels as mounts.
Only if they can prove it was used and in large numbers within the tech timeframe. In any case, I have yet to see the proof, but I am superceeded, it seems, in the authority to make the decision.
@Anwrise888 you realize that your armored elephants are more of a hazard to your own men, right? The Empire begins to equip it's men with Gladius's. The Infantry and the phalanx get this, as do the archers. The cavalry get a new weapon, the Spatha.
Shhh!!! The IoM initiates reforms to use steel as a metal standard in all equipment, military and otherwise.
Chernivtsi announces it will be equipping its forces with Roman styled weapons. Chernivtsi calls upon their Italian friends to trade so that we may begin equipping infantry with Roman swords and spears, and to provide the instructions to build Roman-styled weaponry. Chernivtsi also is researching better shields for heavy infantry.
Chernivtsi troop count before military upgrades and training. If a deal is reached with @Lighthouse, Chernivtsi will update its troop count. - 15,000 heavy infantry - 10,000 light infantry - 15,000 archers - 6,000 heavy cavalry - 4,000 light cavalry
IoM reforms continue. All Fleet personnel of the Imperial Navy will now have training in bows and dao. All Penance-class warships will be outfitted with improved ballista and ramming gear. 200 mobile ballista for sieging are placed under construction. Chu-ko-nu soldiers will recieve training in operating the mobile ballistsa. Ballista are already standard in fortifications and ships.
No, it was standard along with other things. Just posting to remind people so that they won't scream: "GOD-MOD!" or "You didn't post that!" when I use it to sink their navy. Its insurence.
We barely have any boats as it is, we've got just a few kilometres of coastal land. We can, however, provide you with the finest chocolates of the East. This will surely help your people.
