I have 3 regiments converging on the Persian town of Istakhr. They will eventually(hopefully) take the 3 Persian cities on the second Peninsula(where Persia also gets its iron
) My plan right now is to get to Theory of Gravity to get Newtons university to help my science. The Sumerians already have metallurgy and physics...
