Science > Philosophy

Maybe the wrong place for such a discussion, although tought natural sciences were originally a sub-discipline of philosophy.
depends on what you call science ofcourse, but the study of nature etc was part of philosophy. they basically were indistinguishable. the ancienct philosophers untill renaissance basically studied everything. from maths, to physics to ethics but ofcourse its not science as practiced now although many phrases such as atoms, substances etc still remain.

How are your exams going? When can we go on?
i have my last exam on the 11th. im sure i can get my orders in by the 15th. is that ok? sorry for the delay but these are really important, i need to pass them in order to graduate :P

I see: For school we are learning, not for life.
Unfortunately learning war tactics doesnt really pay the bills these days but if everyone went to higher education for purely the ability to make money, life would get boring fast.

Of course you should go to school to improve your personality, your social skills etc. War tactics can be useful in social life as well as in business.
Back to topic:
1) If you make your orders, try to be as precise as possible. One example: If you write "My archers will build a first line and my spearmen a second one behind them" this will be execute as written. Taht means your archers will form one line, a very thin and long one. Better might be to place thim i one row with three elements depth.
2) Do not forget to tell me where you are. The enemy may try to attack the commander of the enemy - you!
Um.. so I kinda forgot that I had an exam on wednesday, I thought it would be on friday and I would have enough time to do a plan and still have time to revise, so I'll have to do it afterwards, sorry for the delay.
So are the Greek gentlemen finally ready to fight?
were ready to fry some persians
We do not sow.
Yes!
So rickinator and GB are missing!
Hmm, I didn't get one back. I can only assume Smyrna is traitorous aswell then.

Fourth Chapter - First three months of year 25
- Northern Theatre
After the occupation of Paesus the Persian army under the command of Ottanes is quickly moving further towards the city of Lampasus, which Ottanes finds undefended, too. The Persians march further along the coast and are able to occupy Perkote without meeting Ionian resistance. Once again, all soldiers as well as the families, which support the rebellion, already left the city. The Persians move further to Abydos. They find the town defended, all wells around are poisoned. The Persians get ready to assault the city. From the surrounding hills bands of light infantry try to attack the Persian camps, but they are repelled by Persian cavalry patrols.
- Southern Theatre:
At Cyprus, Onesilos gets tired of the siege and tells his troops to prepare an assault. He sends a message to the defenders and asks them to surrender. Then his men get ready for combat. At the night before the battle two triremes manage to break out of the harbor of the city of Amathus and disappear in the darkness. When the next day break, Onesilos gives the signal to attack. Assault groups try to get over the walls with ladders, while another groups tries to break through the gate. Within an hour, the city walls are under control of the invaders. Most of the defenders throw away their arms and try to find shelter in one of the temples. Only a couple of soldiers make a last stand in the tower of Amathus. However, when they see the overwhelming number of enemies equipped with battery rams, they decide to lay down their arms and accept Onesilos as King of Amathus. He controls the whole island now. However, he has to find out that his enemy, the former King of Amathus, left the city before the assault.
- Central Theatre:
Early this year, Daurises leaves Cyme with about 25,000 men. He is heading south and soon reaches Smyrna, which he finds still loyal to the king. He decides to march along the coast to assault Klazomenai and Teos, but when he gets news that the army of the enemy is devastating the valley between Smyrna and Sardis, he decides to go straight into the main land of the enemy. Soon he arrives Ephesus and occupies the city. Here more news arrive, that a hostile fleet landed at the beaches of Smyrna, which was soon supported by the main army of the Ionian. I the meantime, Caria gathers her army at the sacred sites of Priene.

That went better than I expected. Might have to do something in case of a potential return of the king scenario, but so far I appear to be doing better than the historical Onesilos.
Now it is complete.
GB, yes, you did better! CVongratulation!!
KK, how do you want to bring death to Persians if you hide behind your walls?
While in the north and south there are clear frontiers, in the centre stranger and rickinator seem to do somekind of dance!!

IF you surrender now I promise you no harm will come to you and your men, otherwise I can promise only death and shattered shields. And trust me, the bronze shield of the mighty Greek does not shatter easily, so make no mistake as to who will be dead and vanquished at the end when the battle is done and the sky mimics the red earth and will weep tears for the fallen.

btw i assume we are using the ancient shoreline as depicted on this map: http://www.hipkiss.org/data/maps/j-m...6_2114_600.jpg
because i noticed the other map (which is much more useful, i agree) has the modern shorelines.
We do not sow.
As per normal, I am lulling them into false sense of security. These effeminate Persians will soon tire of the hot dusty plains of the Hellespont and skulk home to their fancy clothes and sweetmeats. For now, we watch and wait to see if they have the courage to face Greek blades.
