So sorry to hear that Xehn. Hopefully the wound will heal swiftly.
It's ok, I think the guy who attacked me was in hospital longer than me, severe concussion is what the police told me.Quote:

I've got some good and bad news(good news for you, bad news for me).
I went to the doctor today and the good news it that I should be able to play EB tomorrow.
It is good news for us, but why is it bad news for you?
That is tomorrow and not today maybe
The bad news is seperate, you people got the good news, I got the bad news.Quote:

Ok it ends up that I might be able to continue this AAR, it'll be weird, due to weirdness, there would be a "lost chapter" that was supposed to be about Byzantion but in my game I've already taken it, so if I continue, the first chapter back will be after that, so even though the last chapter talks about Byzantion, there will actually be no mention it.
If you were able to understand what I just wrote (I'm not sure I do) I hope you'll like the new and hopefully improved, Idiot AAR.
sounds good im likin it so far
Smeg... I have a big hangover, welll apart form that I was going to update the first part back today but I might not be able to now.
Part Eleven:
Pushing North and The Assassin
Nine months after the fall of Byzantion, outside Demetrias, Thesselia.
Nikanor readied his army with his ward, Mentes Argeios, a politician from Ionia who came to Athenai a year ago, while he was not a good general, Nikanor was determined to turn this simple politician into a feared commander.
The two men stood outside the gates to the city.
"Are the rams ready yet, Argeios?" Nikanor asked.
"They're being wheeled into position now sir." Argeios responded.
"Good, ready your men. I don't know how well the Iphikratous are going to go, we may well have to rush in and save them."

At the start of the battle, Nikanor ordered the Cretans and the Sphendonetai to fire over the walls, determined to make as little resistance for the Iphikratous.
The Cretans and Sphendonetai were so good that at least eighty percent of the Makedonians were dead before any Athenian set foot within the walls.
Even though this was a teat for the Iphikratous, Nikanor felt uneasy sending them into the Akontistai infested streets, where their javelins could wreak havoc on the tightly packed men, to remedy this he sent in his own Akontistai first, it wasn't very long until the Makedonian Akontistai fled.
The Makedonians never really had a chance but it was still decreased thanks to the idiocy of the garrison commander, the fool charged right into one of the phalanxs, he was thrown from his horse and impaled on someones spear.

With the enemy commander dead, Nikanor ordered the Iphikratous forward, only one obstacle remained, the city centre.
All was going well until they reached the centre when the first phalanx was disrupted by some Peltastai that ran earlier in the battle, then during the confusion, the Makedonian Hoplitai had time to charge before the Iphikratous could get their spears down.

Foutunatly, a second phalanx was able to manoeuvre behind the Hoplitai.

In the end Nikanor was pleased with the performance of the Iphikratous
but the real test would come when they faced real Phalangetai.
Three months after the seige of Demetrias, Byzantion.
Odysseus Kalabrios woke to the sound of a struggle coming from down to hall, after jumping out of bed , he rushed into the hall and found that half a dozen bodies littered the hallway, looking at the armour of the men he realised that these men were Akrotatos' elite guard. Damn he though, then it hit him.
He ran towards Akrotatos' room, there he saw Akrotatos fighting a cloaked man, Odysseus grabbed a torch from the wall and ran into the room, the Assassin, seeing Odysseus, ran towards the window, trying to escape but Akrotatos grabbed his cloak and pulled him back, Odysseus then hit him with the torch, knocking him out.
When The Assassin woke up he was tied to a chair, he looked around the room, it was now full of men, one of them looked at him.
"My lord, he is awake." He said.
Akrotatos turned around. "Good, maybe we can get some information." Akrotatos knelt before him. "Tell me, who do you work for?"
The Assassin remained silent.
Akrotatos slapped him. "Who sent you!"
The Assassin opened his mouth as if to speak but no viable words came out, just a garbled moan, Akrotatos looked puzzled, then opened the Assassins mouth. "Someone cut out his tongue, someone really doesn't want him talking."
"Now what?" One of the guards asked.
The Assassin made a sound and pointed to a map on the table, Akrotatos picked it up and gave it to him, The Assassin immediately pointed at Pella, capital of Makedonia.
"Those fools" Akrotatos laughed.
"My lord?"
"Makedonia has fallen, our armies march on Pella as we speak, the fools are desperate, this was merely a final attempt to take me down with them."
One of the men drew a dagger and moved towards The Assassin,
"Stop, he has suffered enough, let him go."
"But my lord, he tried to kill you."
"So? He failed, I don't see any point in killing him."
"Very well my lord."
As the men left the room Akrotatos turned to look out the window, towards Mainland Greece and the Fall of Makedon.
So, how was my big comeback?
I hope it was good enough. I did have some screenshot problems though, so please tell me if they look right(or wrong).
C'mon guys, I can't continue without a little feedback.
I thought it was good.
I wouldn't worry too much about feedback. I had the same problem, but then like 20 people said they read it, they just don't post too often.
I'm sure dozens have read it by now. No worries.
Ha ha ha, Xehh, examine my 'AAR' thread- see the long list of confirmed readers!
I am not experienced in this section, but it seems to be unspoken etiquette that you simply write and dedicate your own words in your thread entirely to your story and not to outside topics, people will respond when they feel it neccessary.
This part of the forum is more like an art gallery, no matter what the quality of the works!
Continue with your story and do not question the public, this is what I plan to do, I for one am enjoying both our stories.
Thanks guys but I really need to know about the screenshots, as I said I had trouble with them and I want to know if the look right.
I think they look great the important moments (army setup, general dying, out maneuvering the enemy and the battle results) are all thereQuote:

So you saw all the Screenshots? Good, because when I see this page one's missing, it's the one I forgot to edit, the one with the phalanx behind the Hoplites.Quote:
