By the Dawn of 1160AD Carthage was the true power of the world though the cursed F8 graph, the latest means of ‘divination’ used by the priest of Carthage, placed Hannibal’s great civilization firmly in the ‘mediocre’ category. This was most unsatisfactory after all the people of Carthage had accomplished.
Three elite bands of cavalry had arrived outside Kanesh: The Knights of the White Mountain, The Dark Brotherhood and the Maggot Makers. These three elite bands faced only one regular formation of Hittite spears – the 33rd 3Ax. The foolish Hittites had once more founded their city on the open grasslands – prefect land for a cavalry charge. The Hittite cities also lacked any defensive works other than what the spear formation could provide.
The Maggot Makers took the honor of the first charge against Kanesh. The Maggot Makers swept around the flank of the spears and easily routed them into the ocean, drowning those that would not surrender. The city was razed and the remaining population, including the surrendering warriors of the spear formation, was pressed into slavery. These slaves became the Hittite09. [Note – somewhere I must have missed noting that Hannibal picked up two other Hittites slaves – I found two unnamed bands that became Hittie07-08???]
1160 AD was also the year that the first reinforcements arrived for POP’s Elite Rangers, the first time they would command more than their own army. The Silver Hawks and the Paladins of the Silver Flame had landed nearby and were prepared to join them. The transport ship was the ICS Kyoto’s Destruction G-01. The galley had been quite busy and would be for some time. At the same time, ICS Battle of Amsterdam CU-01 and ICS Charge of Aabraxan CU-02 were preparing to join G-01 to provide coverage pending their scuttling as the Carthaginian fleet grew. For CU-01 and CU-02 could not carry slaves or troops and thus were schedule for disbanding, all in due time, of course.
POP’s Elite Rangers took advantage of the landing of additional forces to go rampaging through the Hittite lands in 1180 AD, ravaging the land in the Hittite core though their capital city had not yet been found. The Ranger had, however, encountered a band of Hittite knights, a veteran band, the 1st kHCh Formation of knights.
In 1190 AD the great wonder of CommandoBob’s Observatory had been created at Caseyboy97’s Asylum.
The Science Advisor appeared before Hannibal’s with a huge smile. Indeed, all of Carthage was in celebration. So pleased were the people at the great honor constructed for CommandoBob that they agreed to add a vaulted ceiling to the throne room. There was no mention of a door to go with the vaulted ceiling.
“Great Hannibal! The city of Caseboy97’s Asylum is producing 48 beakers of science all on its own! This means that we are certain to maintain a technological advance over our enemies from this moment forward! Though we may need to trade, the trades should be much to our advantage!”
Hannibal delighted in these words and joined the Science Advisor in the celebration.
It was a good thing that Carthage had constructed the great Observatory because at the same time the Hittites had convinced Leonardo to construct his workshop in Hattusas. This was a horrible coup on the Americans and Mayans who had no great wonder left to construct when their bid for the workshop fell through. This made Hannibal smile with delight.
Interestingly, POP’s Rangers witnessed a struggle between a band of Hittite Longbowmen, the 4th 2Ps Archers and a rank of Mayan Knights – the Jade Knights of Tikai. The Jade Knights prevailed in the combat and then fled back towards Tikai. Hannibal was glad to see these two nations fighting. It would make the conquest of the world much easier if they fought amongst each other and not just against Carthage.
By 1200AD the Sparthaginian Fleet was at sail off the coast of Persia in route to the ESC.
The Carthaginian navy was finally the terror of the high seas!
This was also the year that Hannibal’s Science advisor appeared once more. “Great Hannibal, the Americans have learned the secrets of Gunpowder.”
“This does not sound good.” Hannibal grumbled.
“No, Hannibal, but it is not a huge cause for concern. We should be able to easily trade for this knowledge later. I do not see any reason to be overly worried.”
“This is good.” Hannibal exhaled with relief. The Military Advisor had accompanied the Science Advisor – the two were nearly inseparable these days. “I agree with this, Hannibal. Though it will make conquest more difficult in the future as this knowledge spreads, we still have plenty of units to press the attack on the ESC. If anything it will help us to thin our units to make way for those that are better.”
Hannibal found this to be cold blooded but he understood the need. Carthage could not upgrade its units – even if it had the money there was no easy way to transport units from one location to another for refitting. Carthage’s men would need to fight with the weapons issued and make the best use of them.
Hannibal dismissed his advisors. He prayed that they were right.
In 1210 AD the Trade Advisor recommended two new trades. Persia was to receive Literature for 18 pieces of gold – all they possessed. China was to receive Monotheism for their entire treasury – 39 pieces of gold and tribute of 2 pieces of gold per budget cycle for a total of 40 more gold over 20 cycles.
Then in 1220 AD China come up with an additional 48 pieces of gold and tribute of 4 gold per budget cycle for Theology. Hannibal was beginning to like Mao of the Chinese.
The Americans were so jealous of the new Carthaginian-Chinese trade route that their Ambassador demanded an audience with Hannibal. Hannibal sent for his Trade, Foreign and Military (based on previous experience with the Hittites) Advisors. This was wise for the Ambassador walked into the Carthaginian throne room with great arrogance.
“Weak Hannibal of the insignificant Carthaginian cowards. Lincoln demands that you give us 38 piece of gold as tribute. It is the least you can do in gratitude.”
Hannibal only thinly concealed his smile. “Gratitude? For what? America is a small backwater nation with little to offer in trade that it did not gain from Carthage first. You owe us tribute of 16 pieces of gold for many more years. So you come to me with threats? This is the height of foolishness. Just look at the Hittites to see what happens when this occurs.”
“I do not like your insults, Hannibal. We have heard of your mother and it seems your appetite is as large as hers.” The American ambassador snapped. “Perhaps you think you can win a war against the great American Armada, for we have heard how you had to turn over control of you fleet to those miscreants, the priests of Sparthage. These same priests tried to do this in America as well. As they so liked the water, we drown them all! This is what is meant by ‘separation of church and state’.”
Hannibal tried to keep his anger in check. To insult Hannibal’s mother and the wise priests of Sparthage was unforgivable – something he would not forget. “If it is insults you do not like, then I would suggest you buy Lincoln something to hide his ugly mug. He looks mighty silly with that dumb red hat; one might mistake him for a common street whore. ”
“Base Hannibal, I have been ordered to deliver upon Carthage a Declaration of War if you do not comply. Do not be so foolish!” The Ambassador growled.
Hannibal listened briefly to his Military Advisor. “Great Hannibal, the Americans have little for us to fear and the Mayans and Hittites separate our forces – for now. It is a pitiful offering against our great armies. Send your sons to be slaughtered by Carthaginian lances and swords. It will be our pleasure to give you offerings of blood worth 38 pieces of gold.”
Hannibal turned back to the Ambassador. “Carthage will not be extorted. Where is your Declaration of War?”
The Ambassador visibly paled at this and patted his pockets. “Er . . . I seem to have left it in my other doublet. I will need to get back to you . . .”
The Carthaginians laughed heartily as the American ambassador scurried from the throne room. Hannibal had yet another chuckle when word reached him that a band of Hittite settlers was found wandering the area around Hattusha.
The band was completely unguarded! Unable to resist, POP’s Elite Ranger quickly snatched them up, creating the Hittite10-11 slave bands.
A new trade became possible with India in 1230AD. Carthage gave Gandhi Theology for 24 pieces of gold and tribute of 5 gold per cycle.
The world was rather peaceful at the close of 1250 AD. Carthage was busy moving its fleet into position for a full assault on the ESC. It was clear to Hannibal that America had to become a target and soon. The secrets of Banking were only 10 years away. Once Carthage had banks it would be possible for Bob and Betty to multiple the money of Carthage with their accounting practices. Hannibal would be mighty pleased to have this new gold flowing into Carthage’s treasury – every city in Carthage was already pre-building structures for their new banks!
The best news of all was that Old Man Iron’s Knight army had finally landed upon the ESC and its relief bands of knights were in route as well.
Finally, Carthage had but 30 years left on its build of the Pentagon of CommandoBob.
