They've actually done it... They've taken Messana, and the general that fled from the battle died in the process... They were too late though, my legion laid siege the very same turn they took the city, and unless they have something up their sleeves that i haven't seen, which is quite possible as my spy in the area was captured and killed, then their dreams of a white Sicily will never be realised... Sicily will be RED!

Caius Aurelius Cotta, though, the shamed general who fled from battle but redeemed his honour by fighting to the death in the cities center, has left behind 3 sons... 13, 9 and 2... Damn, this would be a great storyline for a proper AAR with pictures and stuff... Caius's three sons, gods bidding, shall grow up with a healthy hatred of the Cartheginians, and in time will conquer Carthage... (Or die trying like their father LOL!)

On a completely different note, i got a family member whose last name is Damian, which is my first name... Just found it funny, dunno why. I've decided to give him the legion to take back Messana, then the rest of Sicily... He has a son named Julius Helvetius Damian, 1 year old... I've decided he shall conquer Greece when the time comes, and hopefully he will also have sons and i can see for how long i can carry on my name in the game.

Roma victor!
