Alexander the Great. Some say the greatest conquer the know world had ever seen. He conquered the massive and Persian Empire and Much of Egypt, one of the greats empires ever. Then he died.The death of Alexander swept throughout his kingdom with vigor as the rumours of his successor swarmed around the Empire and even out of his conquered areas. But the only problem was the boy warrior had no swarmed. But he had generals, all of them greedy for the whole Empire of they're young commander.

Potelmy, one of Alexander's bodyguard gained control of the lands of Egypt and started the Potelmy Empire. But he controlled more than just egypt he controlled Cypus and a small part of modern day Turkey.

But Potelmy wasn't allone for the fight for power. Seleucus gained much power and created the Seleucid Empire. His Emprie had Asia minor and part of turkey. He wanted total control of Alexander's old Empire and he was very close to acheiving that goal, but was struck down befor it might even be a possibilty.

Should I keep going, guys? Or is it a downer and not worth it?
Suggestions also appreciated.:book:

Of course it should keep going, you've barely started :clown:

A good intro and I look forward to reading more, all AARs are welcome here.

A few questions:
Which mod is this from?
Which faction/s will you be playing as?

Well this be kinda dumb but the mod isn't done. (Diadochi) But i'm on the team and helping. Faction Potelmy. I'll start working on the rest in like a half an hour or less.

Oh right, I was looking at that earlier actually, sounds promising but seems a while off from release. Good luck writing about an unreleased mod :2thumbsup:

Okay here I go agin, hope you guys enjoy -

The fight for Alexander's empire was on. The Potelmy were getting ready for war against Seluces and his armys. The Potelmy planned to attack first where they were advantage and could start the war on their favour, things turned differently. "Sir Seleucus has attacked!" "We have lost Damascus, and the fallen are returning to Jerusalem." "When they get there have them killed." Potelmy ll second answered hatefully. "I want commander Hehotpei to get prepared to leave for Damascus by sundown, am i clear?" One other thing, we'll be stopping by Jerusalem, and I want to see there heads!" Ye, yes sir." The unforunate messenger answered. "Now go!" The next morning The seige of Damascus took place right before the bloody sun of Ra rose to the shattered sky.

Next the Siege of Damascus
sorry about stopping. I have to go have the battle first and take pics and find out what to tell about. (or completely make up):egypt:

Siege of Damascus -

The morning of the Siege the wind was howling and the sand was whipping up in the faces of those who would fight in that bloody battle. Potelmy ll was attacking on three sides. Two battering rams and one elephant group. He needed the elephants to hit the rear of the defenders on the front were he would lead his men. The other battering ram group would send it's men in to the middle to capture the Seleucid flag. "Are the men in line?" Potelmy asked calmly sitting upon his horse looking out upon the army of the "Pharoh's" army.

Then he commanded the attack of all three groups to brake down the walls of Damascus. The first group led by Potelmy himself is met with a group of pikemen, but the secound group commanded by Hehotpei is met with no resistance and pushes toward the centeral of the city. The elephants are not in yet, but once released into the city they will cause great damage.

The elphants brake in! They meat a band of spearmen going to the area of Potelmy's men's brake in. But are delayed buy the massive beast. Things were going good for Potelmy's men they had only on band of spearmen and pikemen coming to stop them from getting in. But the secound group still havn't found any resistance and head on towards the plaza.

Group two on there way to capture the plaza is attacked by the general in command and his bodyguard. They were able to defeat them and attack the reserves in the plaza. Meanwhile Potelmy and his group are attacked by more spearmen when they try to get up to the plaza to help Hehotepi, and the elephants go crazy before getting to the plaza but cause maxium damage among the troops, agin delaying them from over running Potelmy and his men.

After hard fighting from the men of the Potelmiac Empire, Damascus is conquered! The Seleucids were completely inialated by the three-way attack planned by Potelmy ll. But there is not battle without casualties. Hehotepi is lost when fighting the defenders of the plaza, it is a sad day. And yet a victorious one! With this victory in there hands the Potelmy Empire can get a jump start for the ultimate goal.....

Very good but you are driving me insane duplicating your aar. Please, either only post the new information (which is very good don't get me wrong) or edit your first post to include your most recent passages.

I'll do that next time. Sorry, it was kinda stupid.:dizzy2:

No problems ap. Could just be my personal agenda, not too sure how this place works yet :)

After the Seige....
Potelmy confronts his generals about the next move attack. "What's are next move? We must attack before Selecus can regather his armies." Whispered Emecknop one of Potelmy ll's generals and friend. "Stop whispering we've got guards posted outside the tent". Okay fine, then what are we going to do?" "Well that's easy." Answered Agrieus one of Alexanders's old friends and now one of Potelmy's best generals. "If it's so simple then what is it?" Potelmy said with a smirk. During there rise to power when next to Alexander they'd always be competing. "Well we have Damascus, I say we move so more men there than attack they're capital asap!" "yes, but..." "Potelmy you know he's right." Retorted Emecknop. "Fine, get all the men in the rural area down to Damascus and we'll leave for Antiochus in the afternoon." Said Potelmy quickly giving up the argument that never was.

That's all i got so far.

Brilliant AP!

Thank you.....
Thank you very much! :7gangster:

Looks interesting.

btw, it's "Ptolemy"...

Okay thanks for that I wasn't to sure.

But here's a little -
The next day when the sun was high in the sky Ptolemy ll musers his men toghether for the march to Antioch, the capital of they're revered enimes. "Move Out!" The command was given and the egypitan army headed North to Antioch. When the sun was close to setting They were not far from there destination when they heared a terrifying sound. Daummmmmm!! The sound of attack had been risen but by who? Then came a another terrifying thing. The row of may pikes.
Selecus had some how managed to gain an army and was heading toward them. Ptolemy had veterened troops but was still out numbered. He gave orders for his spearmen to keep heading towards the enemy while his cavalry go at a angle to hit the back of the enemy line. Alexander used this trick many a times. And Selecus knew how it was done, but he did not know how to use it to his advantage. Not yet.
