As for the ships, the roman fleet is a joke. Ignore them for now.

Yes, despite my efforts to build a Roman Navy, subsequent Emperors saw fit to allow the Navy to decline into insignificance once again


From a strategic viewpoint, our eventual invasion of Persia should be on 2 fronts; through former Macedonian lands, and launched in the centre of their Empire using the city on the east of the Island of Wines To Die For as a staging point.

We cannot afford to be at war with Persia until then, as our few Galleys transporting the required troops to the island would be sent to the bottom of the sea in short order by the Persian Navy.

Bah, we have such a large army at this point, that Persia will fall whenever we feel like it. A single thrust at mainland persia is more than adequate.

My concern is primarily that it's frickin' turn 94, and there's no way we have the time to move into position by turn 130 (the end) to win completely. We'll win as in "have a higher score", but we're not going to destroy persia before 130.
