[STuNTz2023]

Chapter 1 : Uniting Greece (Part VI)

Akrotatos sends five of his trusted bodyguard on horseback to scout for enemies in the path of Akrotatos. They soon return to him and report Captain Euphrillos of Makedonia has laid seige to Athenai. Akrotatos is forced to return to Chalkis and mobilize his army; leaving a small garrison in Chalkis Akrotatos marches toward the Captain's army, however they retreat when they receive word that Akrotatos is approaching.


With the seige broken, Akrotatos enters Athenai for a Council meeting...

Akrotatos enters the king's chamber, to be greeted by Chremonides and congratulated on his victory liberating Chalkis. The men conversate for much longer than usual before a meeting, Akrotatos takes notice of his father and Agathokles speaking privately. With the most serious of faces they took no notice of Akrotatos' entrance. After what felt like days of listening to Eudamides speak of his accomplishments in Korinthos, Areus walks over to Chremonides and shortly after walks to his seat. With the leader of the Koinon Hellenon seated, the following Council members follow suit. Chremonides starts the meeting, rising from his finely made chair.

"Welcome my friends, I would like to start with congratulating Akrotatos again with his liberation of Chalkis. With that said the Council is eager to hear your next moves in the war with the kingdom of Makedonia."

Akrotatos stands "With the liberation of Chalkis, our city states are beginning to prosper. To assure the security of Chalkis, I propose Teuthras Sybarites be moved from his study's in Athenai to govern Chalkis. With a governer in Chalkis I will let my troops re-equipt and re-train in Athenai, then beginning my march to free Thermon of invading armies. I also propose we send someone to Thermon and attempt to negotiate the city state of Thermon joining the Koinon Hellenon."

Chremonides "All in favour of sending Sybarites to Chalkis?"

Akrotatos raises his hand along with everyone else.

"5 : 0, Teuthras will be sent to govern Chalkis. All in favour of opening diplomatic negotiations with Thermon?"

All five men raise their hands again.

"Negiotiations will be opened with Thermon. I believe Agathokles would like to speak next."

Rhodios "Well my friends as you know, my health hasn't been very well and at this point in my life, I am just preparing for death. I propose the Council starts preperations for my exit out of the Council. I would also like to leave my known wishes for my son. When he comes of age, I'd like him to participate in the Spartan Agoge, and then spend 2 years of study in Athenai. He can then continue them in Rhodos."

Akrotatos notices the old man in pain as he goes to sit back down. With his death coming soon, and his son most likely to replace him on the Council, Akrotatos knows he needs to make a new friend in the Prince of Rhodos if he's to continue his plans for his family.

Eudamides stands and begins to go into the rebuilding of Korinthos and Akrotatos fades out...




With the news of his soon depature from Athenai to govern Chalkis, Teuthras expands his retinue.


Akrotatos finally engages Captain Euphrillos outside the city of Korinthos. His uncle Eudamides would march his garrison as reinforcements, not that their needed. Akrotatos outnumbers his foe by near 600 men and prepares himself for the battle.


Akrotatos sets up his army with his ranged units infront, followed by a line of hoplite phalanx, following that 3 seperate phalanxs to limit flanking manovours by the enemy.


The engagement began slowly, as the Captain sends his units one at a time just to be shot down by our missile units.


The Captain sends a unit of his hoplites to engage the Spartan line. Withen seconds of fighting the hoplite realize the Spartans superiority.


On the other side of the field the Captain has tried to the same thing to slow down Eudamides and his bodygaurds.


With the last of the Hoplites retreating, the battle is won.




Akrotatos then prepares his army to confront the last Makedonian army outside Chalkis.


Akrotatos engages Captain Iordanes, easily defeating his army.


The Romani accepts odysseus Kalabrios offer of an alliance between them and the Koinon Hellenon.


Word then spreads throughout the Koinon Hellenon of Agathokles Rhodios' death at the age of 72.

The Council holds a meeting soon after to decide who will govern Rhodos until Eugenios Rhodios finishes his training and studies. However nothing was accomplished and Akrotatos updated the Council on his travels.

Doros Aithalidos Attikos, Prince of Athenai, has completed his Spartan Agoge training and begins the Paidiskos stage.


Akrotatos marches his army towards the enemy armies invading the city state of Thermon's land. Meanwhile Hermogenes Dyrrachios works on an agreement to join Thermon with the Koinon Hellenon.


In an attempt to prove the Koinon Hellenon's loyalties, Akrotatos moves to confront Antigonos Argeades, king of Makedonia....
