Which ships Chip? Cannon fire was hard enough to sink ships how do you expect a catapult to sink one in 2 hits. Maybe if you were lucky that would happen

Triremes, Biremes, Quinremes. Cannons what to compete with more modern and better constructed ships. i doubt anyone here has even done the OTL version the Aristolte's studies in Ship boyuncy. Catapults were for taking out rowers, but a hit in the same spot twice could very well sink a ship. These ships weren't tall. Story comingWubba360 said:

Weep, Mother.
Ok Ken, before you try to make me look stupid, think first.
My "facts". Try to follow along if you can.
1.Khermi invades Nurmafer and gets this whole bloody mess started. Out of fear of their growing power, too.
2. Nurmafer asks Veritas for help. Veritas decides to help, maybe out of fear of Khermi's growing power. They attack.
3. Khermi's allies, Shalamari and Gorin declare war out of an alliance.
4.) Nurmafer and Veritas initally manage to fight through Khermi. Mainly from Kal's inactivity or through surprise. Whichever floats your boat.
5.) Gorin and Shalamari show up. Nurmafer runs. Emor abadons the cause. Veritas is pushed back from sheer numbers,
6.) Out of an alliance, I declare war. Altrough not really having anything to do with the fighting yet.
7.)Veritas burns two Khermian capitals and promises to assist in rebuilding them if peace is asserted.
8.) Shalamari, altrough asking for peace, betrays Veritas's trust and the beginning of defeat for Veritas begins.
9.) Veritas raizes yet another city.
10.) Major peace operations began to take form in every nation, with most nations being tired of fighting.
So am I stll a load of crap, or is it just my imagination?
Anyways I'll support any treaty that is fair and objective.

Swade Fire?
Wilipo was surveying a town just to the north of the capital. It was in the shadow of Vio, the dormant volcano, the only one in the Swade Range. He was meeting with its Lord-Mayor. They were speaking of boring things, politics, quotas, growth. Wilipo was only half listening. A genius intellect such as his needed not pay attention to all the trivialities in this world. But then they walked by a part of town completely ashen and burned down. This interested Wilipo and he stopped.
Turning to the Lord-Mayor he inquired, "What happened here?"
"Well sir," the Mayor replied, "There was a fire here that couldn't be put out. it spread and spread and spread."
"You did try to douse the flames with water, correct?"
"Oh of course."
"And you tried to suffocate it?"
"Yes, yes."
This mysterious fire interested Wilipo greatly. Any mystery he ran across had to be solved. He turned into the burnt down part.
"Where did this fire start?"
"Well, over there at the Limekiln. The Mason said he was making mortar and boom, the flames got bigger and bigger. he tried to put them out, but he couldn't."
"Was he using anything different? Anything he didn't usually use?"
"He says he ran out of wood and borrowed some from the Gri'nlies. They said they had wood from the Niser Tree."
Wilipo walked over to the limekiln. He examined the Limekiln. There ws a hole in the wooden floor.
"Whats down here?"
The mayor looked over, "Oh, part of the limekiln was built over the grotto."
Wilipo jumped down the hole, the mayor was horrified. Wilipo looked around. It was dark and dank and smelled of rotten eggs. He coughed, and looked over to the spot the sunlights rays hit. There were outcroppings of a yellow substance on the walls. On the ground there were solidified croppings of quicklime, and from the ceiling hung niter. Wilipo took large samples of all three things and stowed them in his bag. He climbed out of the Grotto and turned to the Mayor.
"I should be getting back now.."
---------------------------------------------------
Wilipo stood staring at it in frustration. It should be working right now. Hard as he tried he could not recreate the Unquenchable Fire. He tried everything. He stacked the Quicklime on the Wood and then mixed the sulfur and niter. He tried not mixing them. He tried adding one later, or one earlier. He tried everything, ever combination. But everytime he put it in the water container, it went out. He was so frustrated. Everything had always come easy to Wilipo. Art, war, governing, they were all easy. But this, this. He could command 1,000's of men, rule hundreds of thousands of people, thousands of miles of land, and he couldn't make FIRE!.
In an anger he grabbed the Niser wood and hurled it at the wall. He yelled and clenched his hand in a fist. When he opened it though, it was sticky. It was sticky, IT WAS STICKY. He stared at his hand in glee.
"OF COURSE," he exclaimed, "it wasn't the wood, it was the woods Resin!"
He set to work extracting enough resin.
---------------------------------------
The time finally came to test out his new invention. This invention would revolutionize warfare. He had gathered a crowd, that stood in silence. He mixed the quicklime, sulfur, niter and resin together, and lit them. The people stood in silence. He had brought them here to see him make fire. He met their skeptical gazes with a cocky stare. He walked over to a small pond that the crowd was ina a semi-cirle around. He plunged it into the pond, and it didn't go out.
He looked up, and in his most kingly voice he declared, "I GIVE YOPU SWADE FIRE!!!!"
The crowd was awed. Then they cheered.
OOC: I did a lotta research for this, that is one of the better possible formula's for greek fire

Weep, Mother.
I'm tired of writing my story, so I'm gonna do a quick reference section.
Davar: A quick history.
- Founded in the early part of the ninth century, Davar's history so far has been a short and bloody one. The country was first united in 815, by the young Kali Tanil. The founding of the monarchy was essential to Davar's survival, as within the following century the Eldranians quickly came to end the young nation.
Having won the critical first battle of Boro, the nation's small army was able to assault the Eldranians from the east. With the help of the Veritisains, Tristarians, and Nkondi, they were able to defeat the "endless menace."
The next century would have the country experience unparalleled growth. Shooting both east and north, the country nearly tripled in size. Cities along the Lunx river quickly developed into major centers of trade, and much of the country's wealth began to flow out.
However, after that century the empire collapsed. The last Kali, Juel, passed away unexpectedly without an heir. With no clear ruler, the country disintegrated into an eight-year civil war. The second highest general, the Dineil, led a force of smaller, conquered generals against a coalition of the highest and third highest generals, the Moneil and Trineil. At the critical battle of Bant, the Dineil's forces were routed by a surprise attack from the Moneil and superb tactics by the Trineil. Official records weren't kept, but around some ten thousand peasants and men died in the civil war.
Following the civil war, a new government was needed. The Moneil, Joel Ignus, was a follower of the Veritasian style of government and decided to give it try. The country was divided into thirteen provinces and the First Republic was declared.
After an alliance was set up with Veritas and Tristaria, crisis broke out in Davar. Both Veritas and Tristaria developed into full-fledged wars and both required assistance. So in the following years a campaign was undertaken by both war "hawks" and peace "doves" took place to decide the country's role in these conflicts. The result was a declaration of war against Gorin, Shalamari, Khermi, and Gerber.
Working a strategy out with the top Veritasian command, the Davian forces were order to aid Tristaria first. Then Veritas. The troops were quickly organized and sent through the northern mountains to attack Gerber. The result was astounding. Crushing the Gerbers with numbers and surprise, the entire Gerber host was driven out of Tristaria and back across the Kalmar river.
With peace movements breaking out across the continent, the fate of Davar is unsure. The country, for the record, supports the pacifist treaty with dealing with the western nations, but not much was mentioned on the Gerber war.

@Darkening: The betrayal was an agreement made by the entire CRA. I know you hate me, but don't go Dan Brown on us. Your "facts" leave out a good bit of the truth.

Here is the Shalamari response to the Treaty of Dava.
1: Naturally.
2: We instead propose a 200 year NAP.
3: Whatever. But the eco should be paid.
4: The Veritasians should instead help rebuild the cities they have razed. This to hasten reconcilation and rebuilding relations. The peoples have been fed with vile lies about their respective enemies for far too long.
5: Agreed.
6: This does not concern us. We do however support the formation of a republic, either in Gerber proper, or the independent Gerbi.
7: We do not need this reminder. Others should be more wary about this.
8: Mogul should be split in two along the Wardash river, as per the Veritasian peace process suggestion.
9: Whatever.

Oh, and Iggy..... 
I had mistaken Shard for being Glass. Can you change the two? Just call out the polar bears again. After all, this is the second time there's some screw up with my capital.
EDIT: I'll even do a regional description of Shalamari when you've finished. For far too long have I not written stories. But I had exams and stuff, so I don't feel entirely guilty.

Sure. Actually, if the late Stratikrator Cendrian had more forces at his disposal and was more of a reckless opportunist, he would have attacked your lightly defended capital, which would have likely been more successful than his assault on the far larger Crystal Alliance Army.Silver Steak said:
