Good games. Thanks Dave.

With this loss, the Babylonian empire is no more, the king of Babylon being brought in chains to the Median court at Ecbatana. Many thanks, Dave/TomoeGozen, for participating! I hope you enjoyed the Wars of Gods and Men!

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."

Current situation (with the three concluded battles above reflected)

Thanks to Andreas for running the event and to my worthy opponents for the excellent games , it was fun
The king of Babylon was last seen amongst a group of goat herders in the mountains , his brave body double now in chains in Media...maybe he will return one day...
Cheers,
Dave.

SnuggleBunnies defeats deeter 52-25

The Cypriots fled to a forest wedged into a corner of the world at the beginning, and the Egyptian-Hebrew army had to scramble to get into place with archers, pepper them with arrows until they came out, and then break them up in the melee, all before the sun went down.

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.

Conquest: Assyrian attack upon Median Sippar (10) from Ninive (9).
Revolt: Cimmerian attack upon Lydian Mazaca (41).

Conquest: Median attack upon Mannaian Arbela (46) from Ecbatana (13)

Conquest: Egyptian attack upon Cypriote Tarsus (36) from Salamis (35).

Conquest: Lydian attack upon Cimmerian Malidiya (42) from Mazaca (41).
