Shh. You aren't supposed to let everyone know of my devious plans. I like making people wonder.

No problem, just wanted to make sure I had the right turn #, I didn't want to be jumping the gun on MY devious plans...

Played and sent here. One Persian Horseman was not tough enough, and he wound up dead. He should have spent some more time in the weight room.

Sinope - sunk a Mac Galley - Macs should learn to swim they died flailing in the water.
Otherwise quiet as the Persians cope with loss of city to the Mac
and plot revenge. 
I notice Syths are moving east on the far fringes of our western borders.
(Thanks for the reminder re AI alliances/wars ... note I normally play this turn a few minutes before I head off to work so I have little time to broadcast news ... sorry. I have 4 PBEMs going on right now and they all appear to land in my inbox at once

315BC has seen an epic naval battle off the coasts of Sardinia and Corsica!
After the evil Carthaginians sailed out of the fog and sunk my Elite flagship galley, the Romans sortied galleys from multiple directions, and sank a total of 3 Carthaginian galleys (2 wounded). One was promoted to Veteran, to become our new flagship.
Meanwhile, the Legions landed on the north coast of Sardinia were horrified to find the smoldering remains of what was once the prosperous fishing village of Olbia. The evil Carthaginians razed their own city as we approached!
Augustus himself was able to hunt down the remaining garrison, a band of archers, and quickly dispatched them for their war crimes.

More Macs die fleeing from the battle ...a horse made into glue and a worker recaptured. Citizens celebrate our Golden Age.
Soon hordes of Persians will overrun the Macs that pollute our lands. From my cold dead hand !!

A new century, 300BC, has dawned, (although we don't know why it's called BC yet!). No battles, but after a flurry of diplomacy, Rome has helped our Celtic neighbors to the north to see the evil of Carthage's ways, and they have agreed to unite with us in driving Carthage from our continent!!

Yes, 300BC is our 11th turn. (F8 says turn 10, but it counted 350BC as turn 0). THat means worker buys are available as well.

Battle for Cyprus
Mac Galley sunk all hands lost. A lot of them came to the surface but our archers hanging from the sails for the best shot - stuck arrows down their miserable throats as they cried for mercy.
War has now been declared on us by the heathen egyptians and syths but since our troops relaxed and bathed on the shores - it is a nice break to have egyptians for target practice. We only hope the Macs spent lots of money to recruit these two civs to their worthless cause.
MoooHAA!
