    Default Baseless boasting


    "Stinkin rich campaign" 235 BC:
    Not knowing what else to do, I've just unleashed hell. From now on yellow scum is the undisputed ruler of the seas. It will cost me 18.000 per turn and I can afford it. My coffers are full due to my cruel highest tax rate policy and merciless exploitation of subdued natives.
    The only possible threat to my supremacy would be Ze First Bartixian Octosquid Submarine Fleet, but as far as I know, they are based somewhere aroung archipelago of Galapagos and are deeply involved in Inca-Mayan MegaCanoeConflict.

    If anyone else would like to boast, please share.
    Best regards
    MiniMe Ze Yellow Talassokrat

    They are absolutely useless but have shiny purple sails and green hulk

    I recruited them once, too but only to let them stay in the harbor of the capital as a blatancy against other factions.

    That's pretty much what the Ptolemies did do with their Poliremes.

    I remember being Macedon, bored and wondering what a naval superpower would be like, so I built a fleet of about 8 of these buggers just to show off

    Took me a while to realise the cost of their upkeep and that instead of disbanding half my army in italy i should have ditched the boats

    Not enough troops, Romans take Italy, not enough money, cant train troops,
    got raped by the Getai in the end

    Would be a good "house rule" for those who say 'Pontos is much too easy on VH/VH": Every family member needs a personal Nees Magistai-Fleet for parties.

    A yes... Ze First Bartixian Octosquid Submarine Fleet ... I believe traces of Charmin found in Inca-Mayan excavation sites can be traced to the octo-peds.
