Thermon has a Pallisade and a Practice Range, but nothing else. Also stationed there is your younger son, Antigonos. ![]() In western mainland Greece, we own the large town of Thermon, with a garrison of three Peltast, one Militia Hoplites, and one Cretan Archers. This is certainly possible, as west of Syracuse is an experienced diplomat, Diodoros of Gela. If we are unified in this war, Roma will not spell our doom. I suggest, Strategos, that we ally with Carthage, for both military assistance and trade. It is worth keeping, but it is under immediate threat, especially from the Scipii Romans to the north, in Messana, but also from the Carthaginians, in the west, in Lilybaeon. Syracuse has Stone Walls, Barracks, Roads, a Port, and basic Land Clearance. Stationed there is your son, Dionysios of Sparta, who stands to inherit the Koinon Hellenon, with his bodyguard of twenty-six and his coveted Playwright. It is well garrisoned, with two Hoplite units, two Militia Hoplite units, and one unit of Peltast and Archer. In Sicilia Graecus, we own the city of Syracuse. Unfortunately, our settlements are scattered, and each can easily fall. However, Strategos, the few settlements we do own are rich and advanced we own two cities- all of our lands are rich, and we still own a good navy, despite the fact that we do not own the Athenian navy. Byzantion, Halicarnassos, Kydonia and Apollonia in Epiros are doing likewise. Corinth has defected to Makedonia, and Athens is fiercely defending its sovereignity as a city state. And what is more, Polemarchis, not all of Greece is unified with us. We own five major settlements, Strategos, but not all are ideal for our cause. We will come home with these shields, or upon them! The Lands Let not our swords quiver, or our spears fall. The time has come to bind us together by sword a common cause against the common barbarian. Our lands are heavy with betrayal, Strategos, and altough we thrive by trade, we are not a unified Greece. We have the most intelligent men within Oceanus, and yet our swordarms are wasted and necrotic. Our way of warfare has remained in the past- we know not how to train the famed Makedonian Phalangistoi, Hetairoi or Hypaspistai that came to rule the world under Alexander. Our ancestors cry for vengeance the summit of Mount Olympos heaves with anger. The Greek Cities, the Koinon Hellenon, stand unified against these gathering barbarians, their swords glinting with the blood of our ancestors. ![]() Rome! Not one will live on through our omnipotent rule. A great king, of true Greek blood will rise soon, Strategos, one to equal the great Achilles, and crush the foul simulacrum Makedonians where they stand the bloated, turgid Seleukids from all sides the backward, power-drunk Egypt back to Tartarus and Rome. ![]() We Greeks could rule the world- Alexander did, the world was his from Greece to the far Indus- but his blood was tainted. Hail, Strategos, all-powerful Polemarchis! We are your loyal peoples, and we have long been ready for war.
