Chapter 1 : Uniting Greece (Part III)

Following the Council's desicion; Akrotatos prepares to move most of his men east towards Athenai that following season. With the liberation of Korinthos, and joining the great city with the Koinon Hellenon, the funds of the combined city states has just turned positive, limiting economic and military growth.

However that fall Captain Epigenes brings war to Athenai and besieges the great city with a small army.


With word of the seige, Akrotatos moves his veterens from the battle for Korinthos towards the rear of Captain Epigenes' camp, cutting off an escape rout and attacking the aggressors.

(Wouldn't let me go to the battle map, so i had to auto-resolve)

It was a clear victory however Akrotatos lost nearly 200 men, but the seige was broken and Akrotatos entered the city of Athenai to wait for his troops to be retrained, and for him to recieve a year or two of schooling.


Odysseus Kalabrios sends word that he has worked out a trade agreement between the Koinon Hellenon and the Romani with Manivs Cvrivs Dentatvs.


With funds now flowing from the city states, various buildings were repaired in Korinthos, including the Hiera Olympia.


Akrotatos becomes a worshipper of Athena Polias, and one of her priest's become a part of his retinue.


In summer 270BC, Antigonos Argeades, king of Makedonia, leads an army to besiege the city of Athenai and hopefully revenge Alexandros Argeades.


What members of the Council that aren't in Athenai meet on these matters.

The following season Sparte finishes building its coastal clearings, which have been difficult to establish in the past due to the mountains in the region.


Antigonos has built seige equipment while Akrotatos and Chremonides prepare the garrison and rally the troops.


Meanwhile Odysseus contacts Alexandros Aiakides of the Epieros requesting their help against Makedonia.


With Athenai besieged for almost a year, the economy crippled, our allies to the north appear to finally be preparing an army to march into Thessaly or Makedonia herself.
