Hey guys, I've did 3 of them so far. Just tell me if they're ok.
Sorry, but I can't do more than writing descripts till June. After I finish my exams, a much different story.

Teichea Xulika

A rough, wooden wall is a better defence than a palisade of stakes and the Getai were experts at building wood and later even stone defences. Better than a crude palisade, and reinforced in the weaker parts of the wall, it will delay an enemy force breaking into the settlement, and unwelcome surprise raids, but organised Getai tribes or other enemies will surely break in easily. These walls can be easily built and fast even by an unskilled workforce, giving a sense of security for the people inside the protected town. Wood can be easily burnt down with flaming arrows, and this was a major setback, because the Getai were expert archers. Later, the Getai built stone defences for their cities and sacred places. The rough wall also keeps in livestock and grain, and also improving the walls will add grain stores to extend the time a settlement can resist a siege.


Hodoi

These minor roads are just created over generations, worn into the landscape. The Getai builders use Hellenic techniques, borrowed from the colonies on the Pontus Euxinus, which were Greek. They improved these ancient ways a little with simple wood bridges, a stony roadbed in marshy spots and by cutting back dense vegetation which was getting in the way. They are not ideal but are certainly better than nothing, allowing armies to move faster against an enemy, and improving trade, by allowing caravans to move faster into the large Getai territory. Later, when the Hellenic techniques became common, the Getai were able to build stone roads, allowing trade and armies move extremely fast, to meet incoming threats, such as Roman attacks on the Danubius.

Kolpos Stolou

A bay brings small portions of trade and wealth to a settlement, but it is too small to make any ships, even small, rudimentary ships. Access to the sea is vital for trade and improving wealth. The sea lanes are the true highways of the world, and carrying goods by ship is the only way to make it cheaply and earning a good profit. Bays are also good for sending and receiving news all around the world, along with trade and possibly new goods. Bays can be upgraded by enlarging it, being able to handle more goods, thus bringing more wealth to the Getai treasuries, supplying the great Getai war machine.
