Julii 230-220 BC short description

I concentrated on improving our financial situation - I inherited a treasury of 4297 gold and left one of 72908. I built buildings continuously, but kept troop purchases to a minimum. We are now the most advanced faction, but the Brutii top the general faction ranking chart.

Our faction leader, now Marius the Orator, managed to escape from being held hostage by disloyal Spaniard citizens and conducted an epic march from Asturia to Dacia.

The war on Dacia went well with our forces seizing Campus Iazyges, but then the Germans decided to get involved. The penultimate turn was an epic with Marius arriving from Spain with 1128 men to relieve Lovosice just in time to be attacked by 2850 Germans! He killed 2821 men, for the lost of 220.

My successor will have a fun decade punishing the Germans!

PS: Minor point - I have sent a diplomat on a boat on a world tour, starting with Egypt - I think trade may get better if we discover more cities on the map and establish more trade agreements.
