The Dutch Army is on the move. Despite offers of peace, we are determined to drive the Byzantine invaders back into the sea.

After a dreadfully slow start we finally hit Republic, and some trading possibilities threaten to drag us into the Middle Ages soon.

By the several camps of barbarian hordes on our continent, we cannot be the first to this, and notice the prevalence of Feudalism on this earth.

There is a long way to go.
I suspect we are still in this game by virtue of our isolation.

Which reminds me:
who on earth starts an archipelago with a non-seafaring tribe.... :(

With The Hague almost completely surrounded by pillagers and blockades, the battles continue on land and along the coast.

3/3 Dromon vs. 3/3 Galley -> 1/3 Dromon
2/5 Dromon vs. 4/4 Galley -> 2/5 Dromon
4/4 Dromon vs. 4/4 Galley -> 2/4 Dromon

5/5 Sword vs. 3/3 Horse -> 5/5 Sword, Horse retreats
4/4 Sword vs. 3/3 Horse -> 3/4 Sword
2/4 Sword vs. 4/4 Horse -> 2/5 Sword
 
Dutch catapults bombard Byzantine units NE of The Hague.

catapults vs 4/4 Pike ------> 2/4 Pike
catapults vs 4/4 Pike ------> 3/4 Pike
catapults vs 5/5 Sword ----> 4/5 Sword

The Dutch leadership rejects another offer of peace from the Byzantines. We suspect that it is just a ploy to retain control of The Hague and a foothold on our continent. We believe that it will be used as a launching pad for future intrusions into Dutch land. The war will continue until the Byzantines are driven from our land or the Dutch are defeated.
