We are reaching peak melee, but it's not clear which way it'll go yet. Either way it'll conclude soon, with only 6 turns remaining

Please note

• Attack declarations are posted in this thread.

• You must always declare one conquest attack by your major power and are in addition free to (but don't have to) declare either one raid by a tribal power, one revolt by a minor power, or one punitive expedition by his major power.

• Please express attack declarations in the way the following examples show:
  • Conquest: Assyrian attack upon Babylonian Sippar (10) from Ninive (9).
  • Raid: Scythian attack upon Median Ecbatana (13) from homelands.
  • Raid: Scythian attack upon Median Ecbatana (13) from homelands, with middle-eastern agricultural terrain. (in case you want middle-eastern agricultural terrain and not pot luck, an option only available in raids.)
  • Revolt: Hebrew attack upon Egyptian Jerusalem (31).
  • Punitive Expedition: Assyrian attack upon Arabs.

• Date (midnight CET+3 (Jerusalem) time) above indicates deadline, after which opportunity for you to declare attack is forfeited and the player next in line may declare his attack.

• Once you have declared an attack, please PM the player next in line, who will then be free to declare his attack, up to his deadline, so we all don't need to wait for each player's deadline.

The King of Babylon having rejected the King of Kings generous offer of restitution of Babylon in return for peace, Media declares total war on Babylon.

Yes: Raid attacks can be made upon provinces already involved in other attacks this round, whether conquests or other raids, and whether attacked from or attacked upon.

Conquest: Lydia attacks Cypriot Tarsus (36) from Gordi(6) again.

Perhaps this time Lydia will prevail against the Malta of the Eastern Mediterranean.

Thanks, Willie. But I reckon you mean Iconium (6).

I stand corrected. Iconium then.
