If you want this war to end form the Persian empire and have them invade Greece. That will get our attention. Then 300 Spartans will kick there ass for 3 days.
I am sorry 300 Spartans, 500 Tegeans, 500 Mantineans, 1120 from Arcadia, 200 Piliusians?, 80 Mycenaeans, 700 Corthians, 400 Thebans, 1000 Phocians.
You still lost though, and if I remember correctly Athens was mostly responsible for the eventual Greek victory.
Anwrise, stopping being fucking stupid. Rome obviously doesn't have the whole Meditteranean, Persia obviously doesn't have all of persia. It's a game. Get over it. IC: The Levantine kingdom organizes a medium force of troops, 10,000 of them, to be sent over to a small fishing village on western Cyprus, with 30 ships shipping them over. They will organize into a landing group when they finally are all there.
And was the reason why the Persians didn't just land behind the Spartans and kill them all. In other words the Athenians saved the day and got no credit.
Hrm. Even if you did, you would be lucky to raise a hundred old or too young men. Remember, half your entire population is currently fighting Athens. IC: The Levantine Forces quickly go into the countryside of Cyprus, spreading out to take small hamlets and villages.
