The Franks will shout Fortis and Pater a beer or two to get them started. They'll have to swap those togas for something more rustic though.
🤣 🤣
Haha! Can you set us up with a few of those women with body paint too? Maybe we'll become druids and start a cult.
These comments are too funny and take the sting out of being eliminated early. Have fun guys.

@kronenblatt - which battle is your General Blatta assigned to?

RED attacks PANNONIA from Italia -- Emperor Carus leading his legions into the attack!
That's all the attacks posted -- just need to know which battle GREEN General Blatta is commanding.

Pannonia challenge created. Map type selected as Mediterranean Hilly. Usual password FGM1.
Good luck!

Thanks. Picked it up, but then noticed that you set up as Hilly (as you wrote above), whereas it should be Agricultural. Do you set up again, or shall I?

That Latin is lost on me, because I'm a barracks emperor, who have never been to Rome (but soon...), speaking only the Germanic tongue with some occasional curses in Latin. Anyway. I've set up our game, with password BRITANNIA => Enjoy and the best of luck! @chiquichops
A crushing defeat for the PURPLE legions in SYRIA with @chiquichops scoring 41 - 0 = +41% Victory -- somehow I didn't manage to even make much of a dent into his force -- after weathering the inevitable storm of arrows, I saw an opportunity to counter-attack on my left and try and pin his heavy cavalry against the deep stream bisecting the map, but mistimed it... his units stood their ground well and then things went downhill from there...
This battle will be taught in Roman war colleges on how NOT to fight the Sassanids! 😆
Well, played @chiquichops -- we whipped through that one!

@rico Thank you. It was a fast battle, not an easy map to defend and the deep stream ended up helping me out. Good to see the Sassanids gain a foothold, although Rome is still far off.

=> Blatta's deputy managed to liberate Britannia 57-31 (+26) and is now likely to challenge Blatta for the leadership of our faction Ungrateful...

My battle against @kronenblatt is ongoing. We are up close and personal at the moment.

The legions of the legitimate emperor managed to defeat those of the usurper. Both generals managed to finish the battle unharmed.
Red victory with 63% vs 37%
A rare defeat for the GREENS ... the RED faction makes a come back and Emperor Carus captures PANNONIA!

TURN 5
We start the final turn with @kronenblatt 's GREEN faction still in the lead with 6 points and 2 points prestige.
@cargol 's RED is now in second place with 3 points and 4 prestige points (earned for staying on the imperial throne for the whole campaign so far. 😎
The Barbarian rolls were 6 and 6 -- so it's the Goths attacking GREEN in PANNONIA for a second time ... looks like we're working up towards a fall of the Eastern Roman Empire in our history timeline.
The PURPLE Fleet becomes available again.

1. GREEN (+26%, 6 pts score)
