Introducing the Space Layer!

[Dale]

We are happy to announce the Space Layer will be coming to Old World soon!

During the 3rd Century CE, Roman scientists stumbled upon Rocketry. Over the next few decades they developed the technology and means to put Legionaries in space!

Coming soon to Old World, you too will be able to deploy your Legionaries to space. Launch your Legionary units to the Space Layer, and utilize extreme movement rates in orbit to Deploy your Legionaries anywhere on the map. Surprise your enemies by Deploying behind their lines from the Space Layer.

It's nearly time to conquer the Old World, in the Space Layer!

Reactions to the serious leak about the Roman Space Layer programme are pouring in:

General Ilia the Soldier to reporters: "You're talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who's made a profession of peddling hoaxes time and time again...This is a guy who peddles in garbage...Nobody was texting war plans and that's all I have to say."

Mr. Dale, editor of The Mediterranean, on Babylon Tonight: "The General seems like a person who is unserious and is trying to deflect from the fact that she participated in a conversation on an unclassified messaging app that she probably shouldn't have participated in."

Numerius the Merchant, court spokesperson: "This appears to be an authentic message chain, and we are reviewing how an inadvertent number was added to the chain. The thread is a demonstration of the deep and thoughtful policy coordination between senior officials. The ongoing success of the Space Layer operation demonstrates that there were no threats to troops or national security."

King Scipio II the Ambitious claimed no knowledge of the incident: "I don't know anything about it. I'm not a big fan of The Mediterranean. To me, it's a magazine that's going out of business. But I know nothing about it. You're saying that they had what?"

OK but 1 year from now, I want a patch to be able to deploy vampires as well, please.

Nope, sorry, no deploying vampires. Once you launch them into orbit, they ain't coming back. Them's the rules.

The question stays, how these legionaries were transported into space, as no such vehicle had been found by archaeologist until now. The story of Wan Hu, a Chinese mandarin in the 14th century, here can offer an answer: The legionaries used rocket chairs ! A boost by 47 rockets tied to the chair was enough to send Wan Hu on a voyage that let him disappear from earth.
