[Hooahguy]

good news everyone! my laptop came early (last thursday to be exact- a few hours after i left for NY )- but im having trouble w/ the touchpad- the pointer keeps jumping around the screen- my friend thinks its static, so im calling dell support, but in the meantime, im buying a wireless mouse, which i will need anyways to play EB.
btw, oops- my mistake- the video card is a 512 mb, not 256..... lol.....

[Hooahguy]

fixed the problem- installed EB, installed the spoils of victory minimod, tranferred the changed stats in the EDU which i changed previously, and copied the savegame file to my laptop. well, it works, and the graphics now are AMAZING! (having a 512 mb video card will do that)
ill try to update either today or tomorrow- if i have time.....

Chapter 18- War!

In the spring of 248, another Makedonian army besieged Tylis.


And before anyone could react, they captured it.


After the battle, the few survivors of the Tylis garrison trickled into Zyraxes' camp.

They asked angrily why they got no support from our forces.

"Where were you?! Where were those promised forces?"

"You must understand. it takes a good week and a half for news to travel here. by that time, the Makedonians already occupied your town. now leave, for I will hear nothing more of the matter. if you want, you are welcome to join our army, which will take action soon."

His aides approached him.
"What's your plan of action sir?"

"We are going to wait until the second army under Koson is ready, then we invade."

"Sir, Kosons' army is already done."

"Very well. Prepare the men for war. The clouds of war are here."

Chapter 19- The Makedonian War- Part 1

In the autumn of 244, our Vasil, Oroles per Drobeta, dies of old age. Zyraxes per Dokidava is now the leader of our great confederation.


Our armies moved in….


But first, we made an alliance with the Makedonians sworn enemy, the Koinon Hellenon.


And finally, we attacked the town of Tylis, under Makedonian control, and with it, the struggle began. Our army was composed entirely of mercenaries taken from escapees of Tylis.




The battle started with our horse archers and slingers shooting all their arrows and stones at those accursed Makedonians.


They killed many.




Soon, our mercenaries stormed in, and made contact.



Our German mercenaries also wanted to get in the fighting, so we sent our heaviest unit of German swordsmen to deal with an enemy phalanx on our left flank.


With their left flank in peril, they sent what was remaining of their Prodomoi to assist.


They were soon driven off.


Their general charged us next, and we handily cut him, along with his bodyguards, down.




The mercenaries went on and attacked the central plaza, killing all who opposed them.



Soon, there was only one unit of levy phalanx left, and everyone joined in on the slaughter, even the German skirmisher cavalry.


Soon, they were on the verge of breaking…..


And even sooner, they were all dead, and the town was taken!


We lost few.


While this battle was going on, another was going on as well…..

Chapter 20- The Makedonian War- Part 2- The Battle for the Pellic Forest

While the battle for Tylis was going on, our new Vasil, yet to be battle tested, attacked a smaller Makedonian army in the very homeland of Makedonia herself, in the Pellic Forest.


It was under the Makedonian general who started this whole war. Accompanying Karenos was his relative, Demetrios.


So the battle began.


We were in a very heavily forested terrain, so any accuracy in archery was limited, but, being that our archers were Skythian, the original archers, they had ease with it, and soon they were slaughtering Makedonian soldiers.
While the slaughter was going on, we sent our heavy cavalry to engage their heavy cavalry and generals.



Soon we had their cavalry in retreat, while we pelted them with arrows.


At that moment, our infantry, which were hiding, burst from the woods and attacked an unsuspecting Makedonian foe.

(there is something epic about this photo- i think ill submit it for the contest next month...)

At about this time, Karenos was slain.


And Demetrios was running for his life.


Our infantry engaged the enemy soldiers and soon routed them.


It was a slaughter.




Finally, they had only one man left on the battlefield, and he was soon slain.


The battle was won, and only three Makedonians were alive to tell the story.


All in all,the year 244-243 were very successful years.


Soon, Zyraxes would march on Pella herself.

Awesome, a double update! Your story is both epic and hilarious, hooahguy. I like the train of stacks you've got their- but it looks like it's taking a huge toll on your economy!

[Hooahguy]

are you kidding me? im completly broke right now (probably should have mentioned that) but im going to use 1/2 the garrison of Tylis to garrison Pella with, if not more, then use the other 3 stacks to defeat the rest of the makedonian forces, then ill move onto the KH and the Epierotes, then turkey.....

[Parallel Pain]

"writer's block" but still funny lol

Say if you're doing such negatives how do u get so many men?

[Hooahguy]

well, one of those stacks is pure levies to garrison everything, and before i was raking in the cash, but i must have used it up....

[Obelics]

ah! fast to read, very nice, and funny! you have some humour... the block of the writer line was too funny

[anyway about that "block of the writer" line, i dare to make a suggestions: it's not you have to fill every single pic with a funny line, if you alternate, some epics lines with some funny ones, the funny line become ever more funny.

regarding graphics, you can add graphics blocks from another picture, just opening two sessions, or three, of mspaint at the same time. Load a picture in a session, and another or the same picture in the second session, than cut and past a block of graphic from a picture to another. For example you can copy the gold amount infos from the GUI, and paste it on the campaign map pics or other things like that]

continue this!

[Kuningaz]

Great updates! I love the thing about the Germans, really hilarious!

Chapter 21- a Simple Slaughter

In the winter of 242, Makedonia was setback. its best general, Soson Kydreaios, was accompanying a scouting party, when our Vasils' army attacked. they had no choice but to fight, and they knew they were doomed.


The battle was on a nice day, and even though there was snow on the ground, there was no wind. therefore, our Vasil sent all of our horse archers forward to rain death on the Makedonians.


He sent our Skythian nobles to charge the enemy.


They made contact.


Soson fought hard, but it was not enough.



Soon after, the enemy broke, and we won the day.


While this was going on, a tattered band of soldiers arrived in Buridava. When we asked where they came from, they replied "we come from a place without hope."

It was a Makedonian family member, Amopaon Argeades, brother of Demetrios Argeades.


We asked him why he was here.

"My friends, I have a story to tell. I used to be in command of the largest army in Makedonia. A few weeks ago, we were beset my a large Epeirote army. They destroyed us. only i and a few others remained. With the army went all my faith in Makedonia. Seeing that I couldnt join the Epeirites, and I definitly cant join those Philosophy-loving greeks in Athens. The only way I can think of to get my revenge is to join you and your confederation. That is my request. I can assure you I will serve you loyally and with honor."

"we accept. welcome Ampoaon. I trust you will serve well."

After Ampoaon left, and word had been sent to Zyraxes about what happened, he gave us very specific instructions.
"Keep guard over that man and monitor every converation he has. He has yet to prove his loyalty...."
