Quite so, I haven't sang this in ages...
To Skullheadhq, Great Hippeus:
Truth and hope in our Fatherland!
And DEATH to every foe!
Our soldiers shall not pause to rest
We vow our loyalty
Old traditions they will abide
Arise young heroes!
Our past inspires noble deeds
All Hail Makedonia!
Immortal beacon shows the way
Step forth, seek glory!
Hoist your Xiphos into the clouds
Hail Makedonia!
Alexandros stood astride this world
He vanquished every foe!
His truth and justice shine so bright
All hail his brilliant light!
Never will he be overthrown
Like mountains and sea
His bloodline immortal and pure
All Hail Makedonia!
So let his wisdom guide our way
Go forth and seek glory
Hoist your Xiphos into the clouds
Hail Makedonia!

Chapter 5: Fat Man's Burial (micro chapter)
Small Chapter
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Aulus fled towards the sea, ran from the silver Makedonian shields, he took the first ship to Roma and arrived there 2 days later, like Ulysses, sleeping on his back. He was just in time for the burial of Cnaeus the Fat...
The cremation was just outside the city, in a theatre...
All guests were sitting on the stairs of the senate, crying an weeping for their recent loss, some were happy as well thanks to the great amount of cash they inherited from him.
Anyways, the priests were walking towards his HUGE body which needed an XXL wooden pile to burn him on, they had to chop an entire forest in Gallia Cisalpina!
The priest approached with the torches, and his wife cryed like her life depended upon it, and our Aulus was told a joke by his neighbour:
"Psss... Aulus, y'know...when Cnaeus was in town, Roma had eight hills!"
And just on the moment Cnaeus body was set alight, Aulus laughed his ass off, all guest were staring at him, and poor Aulus couldn't stop laughing.
All the guests then came running after him with rakes and Aulus had to run towards the ship.
An old lady almost stabbed him with a rake, but he got just in time on the ship, and then he sailed to Illyria again.

Chapter 6: The Empire Strikes Back
After the annihilation of the Greek Legions and the betrayel of the Macedones Illyria needed to be defended, but with what. The solution was delivered by the massive mining income, so that Aulus could afford 3 fullstacks of Mercenary's, another levy hoplite fullstack and a brand new legion...
But help was to late for the Minecity of Serdike:
And the Basileus thought it would be fun to insult us, the sons of Mars!
Almost all Greek men and partisans joined Aulus thanks to his filled coffer, and all Anti-Makedonian partisans were recruited in our army, with promises of freedom and return to the city-states system, of course, Aulus wouldn't do this in the end, the cheating bastard he was...
He and his new generals made an attack plan, the first Aulus ever made in his life.
After much discussion the plan was as following:
The plan was to keep the Makedones busy in the north, and then take a legion and sweep from the south, taking the ungarrisoned Pelopponesos by surprise, then take up a strategic position on the Corintian Isthmus, and thus would keep Makedonia busy on 5 fronts. One in Epeiros, One on the Isthmus, where terrain is our favor, and one in the Kaukasos against the AS, and another one in Syria against the Ptolemaioi and another one in the north against the Epeirote government in exile in Thraika.
This, as was the plan, would effectively bleed the Makedon forces to death, and the Istmus as the Roman Verdun.
But, if the Makedones could break into Epeiros, our whole plan would fail, and Makedonia would rule the world, and thus, the fate of nations depended on Aulus.
And some good news for Aulus as well, he finally has an command star!
And when all preperations where made for the Great Antimakedonian war, those stinking caverats from
Epeiros attacked us! They were the minority, but they had Chaonian Agama from Hell.
Luckily they were easily flanked...
And those rats were send back crying to their evil masters.
After that we faced a short-lived Makedonian invasion of Epeiros, but they immediatly back to Pella, luckily, we were able to hunt down and destroy their strategos.
And within a month, another Makedonian Army attacked Epeiros, the defence was lead by minor Generals.
We learned from our enemies and deployed Phalangitai.
And THAT combined with terrain in our favor and reinforcements...
Meant a win.
The Invasion of Makedonia can now begin...
The World, 230 BC
