I am having trouble launching my campaign into the heart of the Ptolemaic Dynasty as the Saba.
You see, it was all a matter of bad timing on my part.
I began to march through the Nefud desert in the beginning of Summer.
Yes, yes this was foolish - but Thomas Edward Lawrence accomplished it with some determination - and I could do so without even facing the heat!
So the journey began, I had three family members.
Now, as we all know, the Nefud desert is a deathly place in Summer, quite alien in comparison to all our backgrounds of civilisation.
However- there is one time more stupid and rampant to march through the Nefud than in the heat of Summer.
In the middle of Winter!
That's right, we were still marching when winter struck, and as the snow began to fall - for the reason all my generals were outside with the troops, they all became sick - and winter campaigning was restricted in the desert as the fort got snowed in - slowing down movement to -95%.
That is a worse restriction than what I received whilst fighting the Romans as the Sweboz in the wintertime that bites the Danube.
Why?
Why not have Autumn campaigns restricted, whilst the Arabian philosophers attempt to discover for the public, the reason why is snows at all on the peninsula?
Why not create a land bridge in the centre of Wadi Agab for when my soldiers go ice skating?
