Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

rickinator9 is either a cleverly "hidden in plain sight by jumping on the random bandwagon" scum or the ever-increasing in popularity "What the is going on?" townie. Either way I want to lynch him. - White Eyes
Re: Greek Tragedy
Deadline is over and I will try to continue the story on Monday.
Haven't received anything from Caria and Helespont, so I assume these provinces are still quiet.
The Stranger owes me still a speech!!!

Second Chapter - Fist half of year 24
The Ionian rebellion quickly spreads. The cities of Ephesus, Colophon, Lebedos, Teos, Clazomenae, and Erythrae, and the islands of Samos and Chios join Aristagoras. He gathers his army at Milet and prepares the defense of the town. While his army is exercising, Aristogoras himself sails to the Greek homeland to gather supporters. His journey is not very successful, only Athens and the city of Eritria decide to support him with troops. However, when he returns home, he hears news that other areas of the Persian Empire arose, too.
At Cyprus, Onesilus uses the occasion of the Ionian revolt to capture the city of Salamis and usurp his brother’s throne; he is able to win every city on the island except for the Graeco-Phoenician city-state of Amathus, which stays loyal to the Persians. He calls himself now "King of the United Kingdom of Cyprus"; Onesilus besieges the city to wipe out the last stronghold of the Persians on the island.
At the Hellespont the cities of Dardanus, Abydos, Percote, Lampsacus and Paesus decide to use the opportunity to free themselves from the Persian rule.
By contrast, the cities of Caria Myus, Priene, Mydnos, Helicarnassus remain loyal to Persia.
Until now, the rebelling cities are still waiting for the reaction of Dareios. But has the King of the Kings already realized that the outmost part of his empire revolts? Only rumors arrive at the Ionian coast: One says that the Persian gather a huge army at Phygria with more than 200,000 men. Others say that a mighty fleet of Phoenician and Egyptian warships already set sails to attack Cyprus. Even others swear that they saw an arm
my of at least 150,000 men gathering at Cilicia.
If these rumors are true, the situation may soon escalate.

"Dareios,
You elevated the wrong brother, I have corrected that mistake.
