The Banners of Sab'yn

[BerkeleyBoi]

Hello all, so I've been gone for a little while, but at long last I have returned to EB. I wanted to create a different AAR with a new faction, but after trying Bactria, Averni, and Sweboz, I found that I had to return to my first love: the Sab'yn.

I'll be picking up where my old AAR, Spear and Shield, left off. However, since I'm playing 1.1 and I don't have my old save, I'm just conquering the territory I left off with and then pressing 'end turn' until I get to my end date.

To make things less redundant, I'll be putting the perspective of the AAR in the eyes of entire armies, or as I call them, banners. Each chapter will be from the point of view from a different soldier from one of the banner armies. However, they will somehow be connected to the main character from Spear and Shield (hopefully).

The banner armies will mostly be created from a single city-type of troops. For example, if I built an army from my capital, that banner will consist of mostly Arab slingers and skirmishers, Saba levy spearmen, some of those light cavalry, and maybe a band of Saba nobles.

I'll be playing with EB 1.1 for BI. Autowin will be used for odds greater than 2 to 1 unless it's a siege. Autowin will be used for sieges only if odds are greater than 3 to 1.

I'll do my best to keep up with this, but please bear in mind that I'm also working on my masters degree and going to work full time.

Well, that's about it, I hope you enjoy!

Don't you mean Spear and Shield? :laugh4:

[Chaotix]

No way! It's back! Spear and Shield is back! You can bet I'll be following this.

[BerkeleyBoi]

Don't you mean Spear and Shield? :laugh4:

Haha! It's been so long I forgot the name of my old AAR!

[johnhughthom]

Excellent, the last one was really good. I'll be keeping an eye on this.:book:

[desert]

That should go down as one of the most ironic posts ever. You call it Sword and Spear, and then in your sig it says Spear and Shield! :2thumbsup:

Prologue: Of India

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/prologue1.jpg

All those born under my family name were criminals or scoundrels in their past life. That is the only explanation for the suffering that my ancestors have gone through. That is the way of Karma. A soul's sin debt can only be repaid through suffering.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/prologue2.jpg

My great grandfather sought glory and honor in battle against Alexander the Great, but was betrayed by his own lord who submitted to the foreigner and was murdered when he refused to surrender.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/prologue3.jpg

My grandfather was stripped of his family sword by the Greek rulers, given a peasants spear, and was told to stand with the untouchables before he was trampled under Ashoka's war elephants.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/prologue4.jpg

My father served the Mauryans faithfully for many years as a drillmaster, but the gods chose to reward him with death as plague swept through our village.

The people whisper that my family name is cursed, that no matter what goodness lies in our heart, the souls that inhabit our bodies are tainted with past evils. After my father died, I accepted my fate and awaited my punishment each day. I would climb to the top of the highest tree during a thunder storm when I was a boy. I never gave alms to the poor that begged at my feet. I was the first to charge the enemy when I was levied to fight against the northern horsemen. I was not afraid of death nor dishonor for I knew it was my destiny.

Yet the gods have cursed me with life each time. I married a woman that I did not love and waited for them to take her away so that I could laugh at their folly. But the gods are clever and saw the truth in my heart. The gods were waiting for an opportunity to strike and today, I fear that time has come.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/prologue5.jpg

My wife has given me a son and I love him with all my heart.

I prayed to the gods for the first time this morning so that my son can live a happy life, but I should have known better.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/prologue6.jpg

A messenger came bearing news that the Mauryan army was wiped out by an invading host of dark skinned warriors. Even now, they are burning, pillaging, and raping across the land, coming to take my only love away.

I stand with a knife against my newborn's throat, yet he does not cry. He stares at me with the eyes of a warrior... no, not a warrior. He has the eyes of a king. He challenges me as if he holds a blade to my neck as well and I hesitate just as the door behind me bursts open.

A dark skinned man stands alone. A spear in one hand. A shield in the other. My son cries out as if in recognition and I snap out of my trance. I raise my knife to strike as the spear head exits from under my chin and at last, I am at peace.

[Lysimachos]

Looks very promising! I'll have to have a look at your old one first :laugh4:

[Hax]

HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP!

It's back! Gods be praised!

[Gleemonex]

I just read Spear and Shield. Phenomenal! I've never seen such quick, dramatic delivery that held such pathos. Screenshots, turns of phrase, pacing... all top-notch. I seldom follow AARs, but I've already subscribed to this one. I look forward to its continuation with great anticipation.

Yeah, I definitely want to play AtB as the Mauryans, but I just couldn't wait that long.

Nothing to worry about, I've read it today :beam: It had been finished long before I joined and there was now way to read every existing AAR :laugh4: Gladly I had a reason to make up for it now ~:thumb:

The Africa Banner


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/chapterone6.jpg

I stand on small wooden raft surrounded by a sea of black. Swords, spears, and bows rise up from that ocean and shake, followed by a thundering chanting in their native tongue.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/chapterone1.jpg

“Lord Hayu Il Watar, the people of Ethiopia welcome you”

To the left of me stood a tall man with skin as dark as the night sky. His black hair was curled tight against his head and a fearsome tattoo covered half his face. He is my bodyguard, my translator, and my best friend.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/chapterone7.jpg

I am not known to be good with people. When I was a boy, I hid behind the skirts of my mother whenever visitors arrived. I never played with the other children at school and even as a grown man, I shunned the company of others.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/chapterone2.jpg

Demissie was different from the others. He first served as part of my family's household guard and was my teacher in the ways of martial arts. I was wary of him at first because of how strange he looked, but he seemed to understand me in ways that others could not. He was a man of few words, but each word he spoke seemed to be of great importance. Gradually, we became friends and when I was ordered to Africa to form a new banner for the king, I took him with me.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/chapterone3.jpg

“Good. Get them onto the boats. We leave at dawn” I started to step down from the raised wooden platform when I heard Demissie cough loudly, our secret signal that I was about to commit another social gaffe. I sighed, straightened up, and looked over to my old friend. “Alright. Quiet them down”

Demissie raised a single opened hand in the air and the entire army hushed. “I will translate for you, my lord”


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/chapterone4.jpg

I nodded and began my awkward speech about fighting for the glory of the gods and our empire. I spoke of how they should fight to their best of their abilities as I will lead them to the best of my own. I told them about their own strength before blabbering on about my training, my service in conquering Arabia, and how the sky is blue.

The crowd roared with approval after Demissie translated in his own special way, cutting out all the unnecessary things that I usually say and adding more spice to the words that I used. I knew this because his translation was about three times as long as my own speech.

“Is there anything else you want to say, my lord?”

I nodded and pointed towards the coast. “Yes. Tell them to board the ships for at dawn, we sail for India”

Hehe, I'm already fighting with them but I'm holding them off so far.

And the pace will be a little slow as I introduce the situation, characters, and history, but it'll pick up soon after that.

Ah, I was under the impression -- from comments in your Saba and Hai AARs -- that you were between Beijing and Hong Kong. Anyways, I'm in Shanghai.

Alright, back to writing! :whip:

At the time, I was in Guangzhou, but now I'm going to school in America again. Shanghai is a nice place, much better than Beijing in my opinion, but my heart still belongs to Guangzhou despite the high crime rate, excessive pollution, overpopulation, and bad manners.

Thanks for the welcome. I can see that your AAR is still going strong, bloody amazing!

Excavated Letters of Getachew – Ethiopian Captain of the Horses of the Sab'yn Africa Banner Army

My Love,

Our general does not look like a great man. He is middle aged, bearded, and his eyes shift from right to left as he speaks. The sounds that come out of his mouth could not be heard by anyone, even I who stood two strides from the platform. His clothes are dirty and his beard unkempt, it is hard to believe he is our master and not some poor old man thrown into war. But it is the content of his speech that mattered. His translator told us what he spoke in a loud clear voice about the generals many conquests and glorious victories in the sands of the east. He inspired us with words of our ancestors that we thought only Ethiopians knew of. He described the riches of India, ripe for our plunder, in a such a way that I began to salivate. And now, we are preparing to leave on the ships to sail for glory and wealth! I will bring you back many golden anklets and ornaments to decorate your body so that even the queen will be envious! When I return... [The rest of the letter goes on about love making and other such activities not fit for publication].


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/ship.jpg

My Love,

We have been at sea for many days now. I am desperately homesick and even more sea sick. I have not been able to hold any food in my stomach for longer than an hour since we left Ethiopia. Send me alone to fight an army of Indians with nothing but a twig and I will do so and bring back victory. But the sea is not something that we can fight. It churns and rolls and I can no longer tell what is up or down... [The rest of the letter is covered with some strange substance composed of many different materials].


My Love,

Dry land at last! I never thought I would be so happy to be able to walk steadily with my own two feet again. It took us many days to unload our supplies and prepare the men for battle. My own warriors were quick to suit up and stand ready for march, but many of the levy spears and archers went off on their own to raid the farms and villages that dotted the coast. One of them even came back with a baby in his arms, claiming that he would take him home to be his son! After one week, we finally made off and laid siege to the capital city called Patala and we made camp alongside the river [The rest of the letter goes on describing a little monkey that Getachew found and befriended].


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/Chaptertwo3-1.jpg


My Love,

I have been a warrior since I was old enough to hold a spear. I have raided our enemies and fought battles for the Arabians for many years. Yet I have never known war such that I have seen today.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/Chaptertwo4.jpg
https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/Chaptertwo5.jpg

We outnumbered the enemy and recruited some local mercenaries to help us fight. We prepared rams and fire arrows to smash their defenses. The general once again gave a rousing speech right before we attacked so that our morale was high. Who would have known that these Indians would fight so savagely and with so much passion as they defended their homes?


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/Chaptertwo6.jpg

The battle began as all battles did. Our archers unloaded volley after volley over the city's small wooden walls while our rams smashed holes in their defenses.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/Chaptertwo7.jpg

Our spearmen charged in soon afterwards and held the enemy soldiers while the swordsmen circled around to cut the enemy from behind.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/Chaptertwo8.jpg

But instead, they came face to face with the elephants. I have seen elephants in my life and even rode one as a boy. Yet these elephants were not those of Africa. They were much larger and fiercer. Our mercenaries showered them with javelins and cut at their underbelly, just as we always did when fighting the Egyptians in Africa, but they did not fall. They only became enraged.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/Chaptertwo9.jpg

What began as a carefully planned siege suddenly became total and utter chaos. Our entire army swarmed around, charging at or running away from the elephants as they threw our men into the air, trampled them into the ground, or gouged them with their tusks. I led my own unit into battle, charging right into the elephants when they had their backs turned to us.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/Chaptertwo10.jpg

An archer sitting on the tower shot an arrow through the brother next to me and another horse went down as it tripped over a pile of corpses, yet we went on. We slammed into the elephant, but we might as well have charged a brick wall. The monster trumpeted and spun around, slapping a horsemen ten feet into the air with its trunk. Some of my men fled, but the others persisted. They were falling now, slowly but surely, from the many cuts and stab wounds we inflicted on them.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/Chaptertwo11.jpg

At last there was only one left, the largest elephant I have ever seen in my life. It roared like a lion in defiance as it killed the men that tried to close in on it. The lord of that city stood on that creature, screaming curses at us as his bodyguards shot arrows into our ranks. We must have cut that creature a thousand times before it finally fell. Even as it laid dying, it still killed another man that came to close, squeezing the life out of him with its trunk.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/Chaptertwo12.jpg

With their general dead, we won the battle, but at what cost? Almost half our men were dead and the citizens of that city looked ready to riot. But I promise you, my sun and moon, I will return to you with a chest full of gold [This was the last letter found at the ancient dig site. Surprisingly enough, it was not buried in India, but on the island of Crete].

[BerkeleyBoi]

So I thought I'd just check out how the rest of the world is doing and I turned off the fog of war for a turn.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/map-1.jpg

I don't think this AAR is going to last very long...

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

Good update.
I like the preview/twist/teaser at the very end.

EDIT: Wow, did the AS just lay down and let Ptl roll over them?

[BerkeleyBoi]

Good update.
I like the preview/twist/teaser at the very end.

EDIT: Wow, did the AS just lay down and let Ptl roll over them?

Well, it's 214 BCE right now because I just did nothing but hit end turn until 230 BCE to catch up to where Spear and Shield left off. I guess AS just got their butts handed to them during that time. I didn't even notice the faction destroyed thing pop up.

[Olaf Blackeyes]

HOLY @!$#R DUDE yellow fever is gonna RAPE U GL with them

[gamegeek2]

IN the old AAR, you sacked Alexandreia...oh, those were the days. Then, it all "collapsed." That was epic.

I'm also scared of the yellow fever in my Epeiros campaign, but the Maks (from just Mytilene) have taken over Anatolia and much of the Caucasus. The Hai are almost dead, Pontos is RIP, and AS has 2 provinces left

[Cbvani]

So I thought I'd just check out how the rest of the world is doing and I turned off the fog of war for a turn.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/map-1.jpg

I don't think this AAR is going to last very long...

I think this is the definition of "boned."

[Hax]

Just remember; they may take our lives, but they may never take our SAND!

[||Lz3||]

then maybe the ptolies are overpowered <.<

heheh they're back :death:

[Kuningaz]

Hey great to see this is back, I´m just afraid that this new AAR could end like the old one. I´ve actually never seen such strong ptolies but I´ve also never played until 214 B.C yet XD

[BerkeleyBoi]

Magic Beans

My name is Amira. I am the wife of Kaldi and we are new settlers of Ethiopia from across the Red Sea. We were not soldiers, but just farmers. I tend to the sweet potatoes while Kaldi experiments in growing various sorts of beans. He is obsessed with these dark brown beans that he claims were magical and can make warriors fight for days without tiring. He gave some to a patrol of slingers who passed by our village who enjoyed the taste of it and bought several bags from him.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/Chapterthree2.jpg
https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/Chapterthree3.jpg

We fled from our village when news came of invaders. We took all that we could carry and entered the walled city of Axum for safety. There were many soldiers guarding the walls, but it was said that other than the Arabian soldiers who have garrisoned the city for many years, the rest were fresh recruits with only a few days of training.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/Chapterthree.jpg

We also heard rumors that the great army that left for conquest many years ago was returning, but they did not arrive in time.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/Chapterthree5.jpg

I was still resting by the wall with the other refugees when the soldiers suddenly started to yell and told us to get out of the way. The captain of the garrison was on horseback and he pointed at me, telling me to help bring water up to the soldiers.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/Chapterthree10.jpg

There was a lot of shouting as I ran back and forth from the fountain with a large urn filled with water balanced on my head. I climbed up to the top and delivered water to a band of Ethiopian archers who shot fire at a tall wooden tower that rolled towards the wall.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/Chapterthree11.jpg

I was fearful at the sight of it and I froze, but suddenly, just when it seemed as if nothing could stop it, the tower burst into flames and the archers cheered with joy. I hurried back down the stairs to bring more water.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/Chapterthree13.jpg

I made my way to another part of the wall and found the band of slingers who visited my husbands farm a few days ago. To my surprise, they recognized me and seemed very excited. They were also eating handfuls of the beans that my husband gave them. They flung their stones with so much speed that it seemed to be raining rocks. However, the enemy was well armored and they were able to reach the walls with their ladders. Soon, I saw the first warrior, covered in yellow-bronze metal, jump over and attack while I stood with my back against the tower. It seemed so cruel that these young boys would fight with only a knife against such an enemy. Even with the help of some other Arabians with spears, it seemed to be a hopeless struggle.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/Chapterthree17.jpg

Yet even as the enemy poured over and threw many of those young boys off the walls, the slingers fought on as if they knew no fear. At one point, it seemed as if they would be overwhelmed.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/Chapterthree20.jpg

I looked away and saw one of the towers reach the walls. Spearmen poured out but the strongest of the garrison, the Red Sea Hoplites, met them head on and pushed them back.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/Chapterthree27.jpg

Down on the plains below me, I saw a band of Ethiopian swordsmen charge out and attack an enemy band of Ethiopians.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/Chapterthree30.jpg

It was so hard to distinguish who fought on which side that I did not know who was winning.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/Chapterthree32.jpg

I heard a sound on the other side of the tower and suddenly saw a large number of the bronze armored enemy climb onto the wall unopposed and headed in my direction.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/Chapterthree25.jpg

I spun back around to see if any of those young slingers were still alive, expecting to see piles of their dead bodies, but instead, there were only four of those fierce enemy warriors fight for their lives as the untiring young men closed in for the kill. I shouted for them to run for their lives, for another band of fresh armored warriors have breached the wall, but instead, they shouted with joy and charged to meet the enemy. I curled up into a ball against the tower as scream and cries went up behind me. I could not watch anymore. I just couldn't bear to see these boys fight to their deaths.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/Chapterthree45.jpg

And then, it was over. A man patted me on the shoulder and told me we won a heroic victory.


https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/nexadamo/Chapterthree42.jpg

He said it was because of that group of slingers who fight from the beginning to end with no rest who helped save the city from destruction. He said they were blessed by the gods with such great stamina that when all others could not lift their swords, they still fought on until the last of them died, dragging the last of the enemy with him off the wall and plunging to their deaths.

For some reason, as he said this, I just couldn't get my mind off of the smiles on their faces as they chewed on handfuls of my husband's magic beans.

nice AAR. I like how this is going.:2thumbsup:

[gamegeek2]

I was thinking of Jack and the Beanstalk, until I looked lower and saw the word "slinger." Hmm...

:smash::smash::smash::smash::smash:

[BerkeleyBoi]

I tried to write that last chapter as more light hearted instead of another part of people sticking sharp objects through other people's eye sockets.

And yeah, it's coffee! Sorry, I randomly chose slingers without realizing the reference to 'drug dealers'. So the reason why I chose it was that I learned in class that coffee came from Ethiopia so I decided to just add that in as proof to my professor that I learned something from his class (though I fell asleep when he was lecturing about the Quantity Theory of Money).

And I'm actually doing alright against the Yellow Fever despite them owning so much territory. Next chapter will come tomorrow since I have night class today. And thanks to everyone for commenting and reading!

[MerlinusCDXX]

Outstanding, sir!

Thank you for including my hero (Kaldi) in your AAR, in fact, my morning ritual includes a cup of "Kaldi's Magic Tea" while checking the forums. :beam::beam:

Update kudasai?

Great chapter!

I just saw this, and as a result discovered Sword and Shield, which I read through beginning to end then moved on to this sequel....... an old and wise adage comes to mind....

Yay.

[BerkeleyBoi]

Hey all, sorry but I've been busy with work and midterms and haven't had much time to play or update.

My plan is to just write all of them at one time and then post it all instead of once a month like I did with my Hayasdan AAR. So it might be a while before I can update, but when I do, expect a whole load to come at once!
