the whole thing was his idea, he wouldn't.

We are beginning our invasion of northern Italy, as northern greece has been captured without a fight.
(Well technically we still have a little marching to do but our planners are working with the Athenians, Spartans and Persians in order to plan this)

Xerxes addresses the people once again. "People of peace. The treacherous romans are harangued by the many enemies they insist on making. They've spurned our hand of friendship as well as all others, their very neighbours have set upon them and they brag of the power of their legionnaries. Now people, we must decide to set forth and join the coalition in punishing the bullies, or shall we remain peaceful as we always have?"

"Kill roman! Kill roman! Kill..." Some members of the crowd, so taken up in the feverous rancor, loose arrows straight up in the air, forgetting they must come down again. Several people are injured, but few mind.

"Alright people. We shall see about punishing the roman terrorists. I do have my reservations about attacking one so oppressed, but it may be true that the oppresser has become the oppresed, the hunter the hunted, and deservedly so. Keep in mind that our participation will be limited by the small size of our navy and remote location, but we shall do our best to fullfill your wishes, you the great people of mother Persia!"


The persian navy mobilizes and all the available transports load up with infantry and the few siege engines Persia has. Approximately 10% of Persia's army embarks towards Italy.

ROP sought with Greece, Sparta, and Macedemia.

maybe they were on alert, waiting for our treachery?

hahaha i sincirely doubt it, but then again the roman roads kicked a$$ so maybe.

Macedonia accepts the ROP.

Going to build a bridge of boats to get to athens if they accept?

((OOC sorry for making you open that can of worms SKILORD, although this is starting to get VERY interesting

[SKILORD]

It's alright, i'm updating the mappy now.

((Cool, may I suggest we Unify Greece so we do not get into border disputes later?))

[jdd2007]

athenian soldiers land in italy. the fleets, manned by the best soldiers in the world, blockade ostia, the port of rome. romans are fine now, but are straining the countryside for food. pretty soon commoners will starve. hundreds of thousands of athenians fight their way north...

yes, sparta and macedonia, you may comandeer my fleets...

[SKILORD]

Unify Greece;

PM me what exactly you mean by that, i assume it makes decisions as 1 nation but the 3 of us act as Consuls, making those decisions. Maybe a Confederation of Greece with a Huge Army and Each of us ruling as governor of for instance Sparta and voting on decisions pertaining to foreign affairs?

anyway here's the map.

ETA of Persian amphibious assault containing 100,000 troops: 3 turns.
Destination: Sicily, but may be changed.

Meanwhile in the Persian capital, a paper mache caricature of Caeser in the middle of an epileptic attack is carted out by the mob infront of the palace and set on fire. Anti-roman sentiment as a result of Rome's diplomatic slap in the face, reaches an all-time high.

Normally Rome would seek peace so I say to all parties involved in the invasion... YOU WERE BORN IN YOUR MOTHER'S *** YOU *******!!!!! WE SHALL FIGHT YOU ON THE LANDING GORUNDS, WE SHALL FIGHT YOU ON THE BEACHES, WE SHALL FIGHT YOU IN THE STREETS AND IN THE HILLS, WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER!!!!
