Book 2Intro
It’s the year 230, garun has just begun, the old king Samus who is now 78 years old, is living in the beautiful city of Antioch.
https://img232.imageshack.us/img232/...oldkingss4.jpg
And after the dead of Aram many years ago the king had appointed a new Avagh Sepuh his grandson, Sanasar who is now 40 years old and the supreme general of the haykakan forces and the conquer of many cities.

And his son Zare is second in command and the third in the line to the throne. He was young but he was the one that had conquered all of eastern Arabia from the Seleucids.

Vahagh is the youngest brother of Samus. Now he’s the governor of Armavir and the leader of the old opposition in the council. He’s the one who’s replacing Artavadz.

Chapter 6Returning to the east
It is garun now of the year 230 and Sanasar and his weak forces were near the city of Gabai, when one of his scouts returned with a message that a Seleucid army was near them, a week of two away from their location and had some archers in their ranks. Sanasar knew that his army could handle them with little trouble but the casualties could be so high he needed to retreat to Susa and his plan could fail. He was lucky that his scouts were so good and he knew were the enemy was every step of the way. 15 years ago when his grandfather still was a general they had not even one scout. But the young Sanasar took over the command he changed many things in the army. A few days later he called his captains inside his tent to discuss the battle plan. After the captains left the tent Armen stayed behind to discuse what will happen after that they would win the battle. Sanasar “My friend come and sit here and have a drink. We need to discuss what we need to do after this battle we could march our army back to Susa or we could march towards Persepolis and conquer the city.” Armen started to laugh “I knew that you would suggest some kind of a crazy plan that is almost impossible” “My friend I ask you why is it impossible, merchants that our soldiers have captured tell us that the city is almost not protected, this is now time to strike and conquer the city. If we retreat than they will send reinforcement to the city. And then it will be impossible to conquer. After this battle they think we would move our forces to besiege Gabai but our forces will move to Persepolis. And then their empire will crumble and their military force in the east will disappear forever.” Armen “If you tell it like that that’s the only thing we can do to end the war.” And after that he left his friend alone and went to his one tent. After two days the Selceudic forces reached the point where the hay army was waiting for them and prepared for a battle. Sanasar was sitting on his black horse and said to his soldiers “Men it has been many months that we have seen our families and it will also take a few other months before we see them back but don’t worry when you return home you’ll be so rich that you don’t need to work for the rest of your life. When the victory is ours we’ll march towards the Seleucids eastern provinces and conquer those too.” After that the soldiers started cheering for their great and powerful general.

And after so time the enemy was all dead expect two soldiers who were cowardly enough to run away in shame.
https://img516.imageshack.us/img516/...victoryqg6.jpg
And after the battle was done Sanasar knew that amar(summer) would come very soon and he needed to march for many months before he could reach Persepolis. So he doesn’t want to lose too much time.
https://img516.imageshack.us/img516/...archingea4.jpg
Time past by and in the middle of the dzmer(winter) Sanasar reached Persepolis and laid siege to it but a few months ago he had received a message from the city of Arbeia that a plague has broken out there. And many people had died there.
https://img98.imageshack.us/img98/218/13plaguebx7.jpg
After a few months of laying siege to the city the Seleucid emperor decided that it was time to attack and destroy the force that was besieging the city. They arrived in the middle of amar year 229, not one but two armies were planning to attack our forces. Those two armies plus the army inside the city walls formed more men than our army but Sanasar didn’t worry about it he knew that each of his men counted for two Seleucid soldiers. He called his captains together for a last time before the battle would begin to give them their final orders. And every man knew that victory would be theirs if they followed the commands of their general. When the morning came Sanasar walked outside his tent and went to feed his horse. After a few hours the whole camp was ready to move and fight. Sanasar looked at his soldiers and said “When the sun goes down we’ll walk inside the city of Persepolis and we’ll diner all together in my new palace.” All of his man started to laugh and were ready for war.

Chapter 7
When friends become enemies and dessert men betray mountain men
It’s now fall of the year 229, a month has passed since Hai forces have entered the city, and the first few weeks were hectic. Inside the city many rich Greeks lived but the original Persian citizens together with the Hai forces massacred them and took all their gold and other riches. But now everything has returned to normal there are new riches and the Greeks that survived have now become the scum on the streets who are spit upon. But this day the new nobility of the city was giving a party to honor their new masters and they had invited the general Sanasar and his captains. His captains all men of noble birth were amusing themselves, but the general was bored and didn’t know why not all of his men weren’t here. He called Armen to explain why those Persians hadn’t invaded his men to this feast. “Armen tell me why aren’t my men here today to celebrate our victor.” Armen didn’t know what to say against his prince “My prince…I don’t know why…our men aren’t invaded today…I’ll go and ask our host why they aren’t…” “No tell me where my men are that’s all I need to know,” said Sanasar “I have fought with my men to conquer this city and to revenge my uncles, so today I’ll go and feast with my men. Not with those snakes that are here to see who they can become richer.” “If my lord needs to know where our men are I’ll tell him they are in the palace feasting on their own.” “Then I’ll join them and feast with the men who deserve to feast.” And after those words Sanasar left the room and went to his palace. Time went on and after a few months the first snow came and with the first snow a women arrived at the palace with her guard. She asked audience with the great prince of the east. Every men and women had the right to ask an audience with the prince. After a few hours she came in the ancient throne room of ancient Persepolis. She entered the room and saw all the ancient riches that were displayed that everybody could see how rich Hayastan really is. She walked to the throne and threw herself at the floor and started to speak “Great prince of the east ruler of the ancient city that once belonged to the king of kings, heir to the throne of the Haykakan Empire, grandson of the great Samus who let the Hellenics cry like little children. My name is Yenisei; I’m the last member of my family.” The prince started now to speak “Who are you, you come here and bow form me but you haven’t told me who your family is if my soldiers have killed your family I’m sorry but it’s now war.” Yenisei started to laugh and looked to the great prince and said “You’re noble men have never harmed one of mine; I’m the granddaughter of the lord who ruled over the tribe of the Saka. But now all of my family is dead and the only thing that is keeping me going is the chance that I’ll have my revenge one day.” Sanasar saw the grief in her eyes and said to her “Come and sit next to me and tell me what happened how it is possible that your family is all dead. Your grandfather ruled over a great part of the steps and last thing we heard from them is that they were at war with Bactria but it’s not possible that they could lose. But if you say so I believe you. I’ll send you to Armavir and there you’ll learn and one day you’ll marry one of my generals and then we can go back and reclaim your lands.” After he was done speaking he sends her to go and sleep and be ready to move to Armavir.
https://img165.imageshack.us/img165/...ionendszi3.jpg
Time was passing by while Sanasar was building a government in Persepolis. When treachery happened, the Ptolemaic Empire blockaded our port at Persepolis. Sanasar was outrages; the only thing at his mind was revenge. Everything has its price, even betrayal. But the Arkah Samus didn’t feel like to start a full scale war. Ambassadors were send to Memphis to talk with the great and mighty Pharaoh to sigh peace between our people. It was the time that the council of high nobles would come together and talk about war affaires in the country. And when they heard that Samus was talking about peace with those dogs of Hellenic retards the only thing they could do is call back all armies and retrain the troops and wait till the old fool would die. Before Samus would die he would make one more mistake. When a Bactrian diplomat came with an alliance Samus immediately singed it. That was his last mistake before he would die.
https://img356.imageshack.us/img356/...lliancevl4.jpg
Also a peace treaty was signed with the Seleucids, and an alliance with Saba and Macedon

In the dzmer of 225 the mighty Samus, Arkah of Hayastan, dies.

A month later when the mourning period was done Sanasar was crowned to Arkah of Hayastan and Empire of the East.
https://img356.imageshack.us/img356/...newkingwh8.jpg
Now that Samus was gone Sanasar had his hands free to fight against the Ptolemaios and expand his empire to the end of the dessert. It was a few months after he became king; the Ptolemaios besieged the settlement of Antioch. Zare the eldest son of the king, who know was Avagh Sepuh and the general of the second army of Hayastan. Was the only who was close enough to save Antioch of a certain dead and defeat.

Chapter 8
When our revenge comes and a prince needs to prove himself
Rule of Sanasar year 1
Zare and his army were a few months away from Antiochiea when they heard the news that the city was under siege by the Ptolemaioi, he was the only army near them. His father and the first army were still in their camp in Haysatan retraining their forces preparing for the war. But his father didn’t feel too well so if his condition got any worse, he needed to find a other general that could take his place in this war. But it didn’t matter for now only time can tell how it’s going be. But for now Zare needed to worry about getting his army on time to save Antioch from a certain dead. He called all of his captains to his tent to explain to them what his plan is, and why they need to reach the city on time. Few months later Zare and his forces reached Antioch. And when the people and the forces of the city saw the Hay banner in the distance they knew that they were saved from a certain dead.

Zare looked at his forces and said to them “Today is the first day of a long war were we will fight and expand our power and wealth Samus didn’t wanted us to fight to expand, but Sanasar, my father, wants to expand our borders to the end of the known world.”
The enemy army

The battle was not fierce when our troops entered the battle the enemy looked at them and run away as fast as they could. While they were doing that they left many of their deaths behind. And victory was ours yet again.
https://img102.imageshack.us/img102/793/4victoryhe8.jpg
After the battle was done Zare and his army were invited in the city to honour their victory. But Zare knew that he hadn’t had the time to go to feast. Scouts from the borders have returned with disturbing news. Two large armies of the Ptolimaios Empire were sighted. When the scouts went to Zare to report what they had seen. Arsen was the leader of the scouts so it was his duty to tell the general what he had seen. “My prince, when we were near the enemy we saw large beasts we did not know what they were. They were riding on them like horses, but they were many times bigger. They were fed some kind of plant but the weirdest thing was that they were scared of fire.” Zare knew that his scouts never would tell him stories. “Then we need to find a strategy to defeat those beasts before they can reach our horse archers. I’ll think about this problem during our march there. But now I need to know how many soldiers they have and what type of units they have.” Arsen starts to speak: “Many light infantry, they have some regiments of elites with them but all tighter they’re numbers will be around a hundred, maximum hundred fifty men. They will not be had to kill but those beasts will be trouble if we can’t kill them on time. And I found it really weird that they hadn’t any ranged units with them.” After he was done he could leave and after an hour the army was ready to march against the enemy.
It was middle of ashun when Zare and his hay reached the enemy armies not far from the border and they prepared for battle.

The morning of the battle Zare rode out with a few of his scouts and has those deadly beasts that they were talking about. After he had seen those beasts he returned to his troops and said to them “Today we are at a begin of a new era, a era were a powerful Hay empire will rule over a vast empire. You have heard of those great beasts from hell. But I tell you that those beasts are called elephants and they are animals like our beautiful horse but many times bigger and stronger. They have a few weaknesses one they are scared of mice and second they are scared from fire. Today our foot archers have a great responsibility, they will use flaming arrows to kill them and after a while let them run amok. And now ride out and fight for our kingdom and its glory.” After that his army rode to meet the enemy.

After the battle was done Zare and his forces marched to Sidon and laid siege to it. Ashun past by and dzmer came and with winter also a force came to save the city. It was the second month of dzmer when the scouts rode in to the camp with the news that 300 soldiers were marching towards the city. Zare knew that in the city there was only a little garrison but they would move out of their city to help their saviours. When Zare called his captains together to discuss what their strategy would be. Many of the captains wanted to attack the army and then come back and again lay siege to the city. But Zare had another plan: “All of you are her to discuss what we are going to do, most of you want to go and attack the army before they reach us. That’s foolish we would only lose time and the city will be resupplied again and next time a bigger army will attack us. I have a plan we’ll await them here and when those fools out of Sidon come to help their rescuers we’ll crush them both together and the city will be ours. Go and tell your men to be ready for a battle in the upcoming week.” After that the captains left the tent leaving him alone. Zare wrote a letter to his father: “Dear father, who is your health, and who is everybody doing in Hayastan. After we saved Antioch my army marched and defeated two of their armies, and now we are ready to take the city of Sidon. But I have a request you and youre army need to march so fast as you can and help us conquer those lands. With two armies it will take only a year or three and these lands will belong to us. With regards your son Zare.”
A week later the Ptolemaic forces reached his army and he was ready for another battle.

The last charge of the battle was lead by the zoravar and his body guards. After the charge Bagrat and his men entered the city and sacked it. Now That the coast of Africa were ready to be conquered for the glory of the hay Arkah, the city of Carthage send a diplomat to the king to ask for peace and trade with our Empire. But Bagrat knew that his Future not lay on the battle fields but in governing a city. He was lying in his chambers and listen to the night birds sing in his garden. And he started thinking about the past when he was a still a boy hearing stories about Samus and his victories but he also remembers the rule of Sanasar were the chronic writers were arrested because they wanted to warn the Ptolemaic that the Hay forces were going to conquer Alexandria and pillage the library so after that the history of Hayasdan was not written down till know with Zare now sitting on the throne there are no more parties in the council of Azatner. Every Azat stands behind the king and is ready to go and serve his country. But Hayastan is at war on almost every front, Macedonia is now gone from Asia-Minor, the Bactrian empire is almost destroyed and the Saka lands freed and returned to the last offspring of the Saka tribe heads. But first there were many Bactrian cities to be conquered. But for now our armies were returning to Armavir to be retrained. Summer came and with summer a diplomat arrived to beg for peace and the Hay Arkah accepted it and peace in Africa was sure for now. He sends orders to the African front to make the army ready to march to Arabia and learn the tribes there that invading our lands is not the best thing to do for they’re future.

In the same time that the king is singing the peace treaty a message from Gerrha arrived with a letter from Ayrarat of Apahuni.
Report of Ayrarat what happened during the siege of Gerrha.
It has been a longer than a year since we saw the first Saba soldiers arrive at our gates. Two weeks after their arrival they send a messenger with proposals for our surrender. But I know that if I would surrender the city that my father conquered I could never show my face in Hay lands. So I told the messenger our answer. But he didn’t like it. He became mad and tried to kill my wife after I brought my wife in safety I cut his head of his ugly body. The body was cut in to little pieces by my bodyguards. His head and the body parts were delivered in the middle of the night in the tent of the enemy commander. After that incident they started to build siege equipments. That happened in the second month of the siege. In the beginning they didn’t know how to build even a simple ram. But a few weeks later some Hellenic Mercenary arrived. Phalanxes with medium armor and shield, whit they’re arrival we saw a siege tower being build. But even with their help the building of siege equipment proceeded very slowly. Some of our soldiers had families outside the city; their number reached around 50 men. One night in the middle of the siege they tried to escape the city and go see they’re families. But unfortunately most of them were caught. Brave men, their only fault was that they had families outside the city. They were all tortured. We could hear them scream when you were standing on top of the wall.
Here's a little preview more will follow in the near future
Very nice preview, but I think you should add a screenshot of the map of your empire to every update. Just a hint, as you mention conquering Egypt in this one. But it is good nonetheless!:2thumbsup:
I agree that it could use a screenshot of the map, but otherwise I think its good, including the new writing style. I'm excited for the next installment.

But unfortunately most of them were caught. Brave men, their only fault was that they had families outside the city. They were all tortured. We could hear them scream when you were standing on top of the wall. Most of our men started to cry, they couldn’t birr to hear their comrades in so much pain. When the morning came, the screams of the soldiers was gone. And then we knew they were dead. After their forces were broken, I tried to find their families and tell them that they died like heroes. Because only a hero would risk everything to save the ones he loves. But I discovered something much horrible then the tortured soldiers. They had gone and found all the families of the tortured soldiers and raped all the women and after that killed them all for betraying Arabia. When the soldiers heard what had happened they swore revenge. And I have sworn revenge in front of the gods as my witnesses. But now back to the siege. We now reached now almost the end of our story; because they didn’t have any food left so they’re only option was to attack our walls. When I heard that they were attacking I thought our end was near. I came to the wall from the palace with the rest of our soldiers, the archers with almost all of our infantry moved to the wall. I and a group of Caucasian spearmen would protect the gate if they ever could enter the city that way. First they moved the ram towards the gate and the siege tower to the wall. The ram caught fire 70 meter for the gate, a blessing from the gods. The thread for the wall was gone but they had still their siege tower and Sapping point. We tried to ignite the siege tower but it didn’t work. They reached the wall but the peasants who were pushing it forward didn’t know how it worked so they were stuck there. Now my archers could destroy the sapping point and save a valuable part of our wall. Two hours later that happened and now only the tower remained between us and victory. I divided our archers in two groups one group would attack fire against the siege tower while the other would kill infantry who were standing close to the walls. It was almost evening when the siege tower caught fire and the men who were standing near it died in the pillage it made. Now their siege equipment was destroyed and they had no foot left. The only thing they could do was retrieve to their territory and see what would happen. Im Arkah I have one wish, train a new army in Hayastan and send it to me so I can lead it to conquer Saba territories and revenge my men who died in their hands.

When Zare received this message from Gerrha he was besieging Mytline for almost 6 months. A few days later a Macedonian force attacked them trying to save the city. But they failed and here’s the report Zare wrote for the Hay archives in Armavir.
Report of the battle:
The day started like any other day but I knew today the last presence of Macedonian power would be broken in Asia-Minor and Hayastan would rule over Asia-Minor. But first they needed to win the battle. Yesterday scouts had returned and brought info about their troops most of them are light armored phalanxes with some peltasti support. They had no chance to win today the city would be ours. A few hours after that the sun had risen, the Macedonian battle line became clear you could see they’re armor shine beneath the sun. When they were near our forces the horse archers rode out to kill so many as they could before the reinforcement inside the city would arrive. After a few hours they arrived but the only thing they would find here was their dead no glory for the Macedonian men. After that the battle was done our forces moved inside the city and took over the command.

End of chapter 9
This is not jet the final version I'm maybe going to change some stuff in it so give me some feedbcak
Cool campaign, it's not everyday the Hai and Carthage have anything to do with each other!
Another good update with some good screenshots. Btw the map is appreciated.:laugh4:
Awesome Karo! I like to see how your empire grows towards the now mighty carthage. I guess war is inevitable.
And bwt, Thanks for the warm welcome :)
That is some fragmented empire of yours! I like how Carthage and Baktria are progressing and that the Sauromatae are actually doing something. Be aware of them, and never trust a Ptolemy:juggle2:
Great work, as always.
Karo, could you post some of your army compositions? I'd appreciate if you would post screenshots of your main armies (the unit card section is sufficient), along with info on where the army has campaigned. I have never played more than a few years with Hayasdan, so I'd like to see what kind of armies you have built. Maybe you could make it into a real chapter, explaining your empire's military strategies and tactics. Just a request, not a demand. :bow:
Anyway, it's one hell of a campaign. I hope you don't bother the Greek colonies in southern Asia minor. Of course you just might liberate them from their cruel tyrants, and maybe liberate the whole Hellas from Macedonian oppression... :2thumbsup:
Thaatu that's a great indeed, that will be the next chapter
I'm not planning to attack the greek colonies yet but I'll attack them later when greece is mine.

Chapter 10
Invading new lands on the other side of the sea
King Zare message for the chronicles in Armavir, the message was the following.
King Zare the first, Arkah of Hayastan
Many things happened since the last time I wrote from the city of Mythline. We stayed the winter there and as soon as the snow was gone we saddled our horses and rode out towards Europe, a new continent to be conquered. Even the mighty Persians couldn’t conquer the Hellenic homelands, but they were now gone as was the power of the Hellenic fools in the east. There is only Armenia in the east. Every one lives and dies under the rule of Armavir and the Arkah. After we left the city it tooks uf many months before we reached the sea again on the other side of Asia-Minor. The people who were living there would provide us with ships to cross the water, so there was no need to waist our money on building a fleet in the Black Sea. A few months ago messages out of Gerrha reached me. I didn’t know that the situation in Arabia was gone so bad so soon, the army I send from the African front had now to move faster to its target so the enemy wouldn’t have time to attack more of our cities, they should worry about preparing their defences against our horses. It was summer when we reached the cost of Asia-Minor. It took a whole week to transport our soldiers over the water. When we reached Europe for the first time there was no soldier guarding the coastline. So we thought it was going to be easy to conquer Byzantium and make it a base for future conquests. But we were wrong the second week we were there we saw the first soldiers, a Macedonian scout party searching our army. They were with many soldiers we killed most of them with our arrows, but a few of them escaped and went back to report our location and our numbers. I got to admit something, after the battle for Mythline our forces weren’t what they used to be. Many of my men were dead, in every company there were man dead. Everyone has lost many friends in this war and the men are tired of all this fighting and want to return home. I made a promise to the gods, if the battle was ours the men were free to go home, and I will hire mercenary to fight for me against those bastards called Macedonians.
