First, you get bonus's to infrastructure and whatnot usually indirectly through stories you write. Other times its a random event. There is no real system or formulas on how you get it. If anything, you want to increase your trade or infrastructure stat to make your road better, xen, not the other way around.
Increasing economy usually happens through how good your infrastructure, trade, or other stuff goes. It can also happen the same way the other stats work. In other words, you cannot say "increase economy". You cannot say "increase economy by good roads". No. You must invest your current economy into the infrastructure, into trade, etc. In other words, you must give some to get some.
I hope I cleared that up for more people.
Btw, read my lips: No More time before I update...I will update today for sure.

Update III 1600b.c.e.
Events:
Instead of waiting for the Aragonese to make a move, the Spanish launch an all-out assault on the border Aragonese villages. Facing harsh resistance, the Spanish are not very lucky in the first parts of the war Aragonese spearmen are able to destroy many chariots before they have a chance at attacking. All in all, the Spanish are left with very little booty and even less men. The Aragonese do not make a counterattack just yet.
Assyrian armies are sent out as usual to pillage and loot the city-states of Mesopotamia. However, in response to the terrorism of the Assyrians, a coalition of southern city-states meet in Ur, one of the last city-states strong enough to resistance the Assyrians, and together have formed the Babylonian League, or Babylon. From Ur, the coalition army marches north and liberates the city that would then be called Babylon, and become the capital of the new Babylonian League. Meanwhile, the Assyrians still push on the east side of the Euphrates, capturing many coalition cities and farmland. Meanwhile, the first canals in Assyria are built in the city of Nineveh, where the growing population requires the water of a canal. Agade is also established south on the banks of the Euphrates, but quickly diminishes as the Akkadians disperse among the Assyrian empire.
The forums of Timbuktu add to the glory of what is Songhai
The temple of the sun god, in Timbuktu, has been remodeled to also house the first university in the world, the Timbuktu University, or more commonly known as The University. Here intellectuals all over western Africa venture to discuss with fellow colleagues modern science and medicine, mathematics, and geography. A noble discovery is made by a group of soothsayers who have uncovered more secrets and advances in metallurgy. Iron is successfully smelted in Timbuktu, and with a healthy mine along the river, the Songhai enter Antiquity. Also, schools are beginning to pop up in major villages, though under-employed, lacking funds, and lacking attendance as most children are needed to help their families work on the farms. However, not all is good for Songhai. Northern desert nomads have turned hostile as they are unable to successfully herd sheep or forage food. Raids into the northern villages of Songhai have caused great fear and agitation among the civilians.
In Sweden, a bountiful harvest and the love of the wilderness by the King of Sweden has resulted in the founding of Goteburg, the second city of Sweden. Featuring a modern marketplace and surrounded by farms, Goteburg is now essential to the economy of the Swedes. However prosperous the Swedish may have been, all hopes of an easy future are blown away as the worse recorded blizzard ever hits the whole nation of Sweden, stopping any military movement and damaging most farms beyond immediate repair (decrease economy).
The Greeks meet with the border of the Macedonians. Meanwhile, a Spartan army has massed and threatens the Greece with a pressing invasion. Athens is on the frontline, and so the citizens take things into their own hands and build a wall around the city (+1 infrastructure). However, the attack did not come from the south, but rather from the north. Macedonian Hoplites make their way through the Greek defenders and into the Greek countryside, terrorizing and looting as they go. With Athens on the horizons, the Macedonian army prepares for the siege. Little casualties are taken as the Athenian army regroups in Athens.
Things go very well for Rome. With the dramatic increase of nobility due to the huge profits of making and selling weapons and other industrial items, so does the rise of army enlistment. Now reaching more then a thousand, the Romans are put to the test in military prowess. Conquering the rest of the Italian peninsula, the Roman soldiers are sent north and easily conquer northern nomad tribes. Meanwhile, the Etruscan cities are, outraged that the King of Rome would abdicate to a council of elders to rule the nation because it undermines the authority of their own kings. To counter this, the Etruscans have united into Etrusca, and have raised a combined army.
A newly supplied and reinforced Carthaginian army marches into Numidia only to encounter masses of armed soldiers who are just as trained as they are. Fierce battles take place, with only a casualty list growing longer. Little land is gained, though what is gained is fertile for the Carthaginians and immediately put into war production.
The Prussians (former Teutonic Order) continue to expand their power and dominance over eastern Europe. Still mostly just a union of tribes united under a common culture, the Prussians are beginning to centralize at a city known as Krakow. Meanwhile, the Germans have begun massive public and defense projects, including major improvements on city roads and the building of city walls around Berlin.
The Muscovite army marches east where they meet with little Sarmatian resistance and claim the new land. Many Kievan citizens complain about the lack of spending done for the public, and demand more roads and a marketplace. After being brutally suppressed by the guards of Kiev, the protests are quelled. To join the fight against the Sarmatians are the Scythians who sweep in from the south. However, this is where the hard battles are fought. Scythian Horsemen and Sarmatian horsemen meet on the field, and the Sarmatians are almost always the looser. However, a few battles were won, and the casualty list for the Scythians grows even higher.
Roads continue to be improved in Celtia, uniting the people and lessening the chance of revolt. However, many protest how the roads are made. Apparently, the slaves lay the pebbles on the streets, and then it is left up to the rain and constant pressure from hurt human feet walking on it that makes the pebble roads. The people demand new technology on how to create these roads without hundreds of hurt feet.
In Egypt, Thebes prospers as the largest and most lucrative city on the Nile. United with the rest of Egypt and the consumer populace, the city is famous for its fine cloths, pottery, and tools. Having the largest market in Africa, the town is also a center of trade and commerce. Spreading out from the houses of the city are acres of farms that suck from the Nile for life. It is in these prosperous times when tribes from the south mysteriously appear in Southern Egypt and demand their own nation along the Nile in the north. When they are declined, they attack ruthlessly the border towns in the south. The desert halts all expansion but down to the south, where the Nubians halt that expansion.
They Hyksos charge for another attack, this time upon Mecca itself. However, their swift chariots are met with a large stonewall, unconquerable by any foe of this age. Turning around, the Hyksos would have to just be content with the land they have, including the city of Medina.
With the beginning of research finally starting in Phoenicia, wise men search for an answer to the distance shortage of the Galley. After three years of deliberation, the invention came around. The sail, quickly equipped to all Galleys of the Phoenician navy, greatly increases the speed and distance of the Galley. Colonies are quickly established everywhere in the Mediterranean where previous travel had been inconceivable (increase economy from colonies). Lands as far away as Sardinia are captured by the Phoenician army. Meanwhile, Semites escaping the warring in the east, settle in the Phoenician-controlled valley of Canaan.
Meanwhile, in the northern mountainous lands, a large tribe of nomads known as the Hittites descends upon the Middle Eastern plains. So far harmless, the Hittites posses the strongest army in the world, and are very capable of waging war.
After winning the Battle of the Mountain, the Ashanti have successfully annexed the first tribe offensively since the creation of the Ashanti. The Kru, now a minority in Ashanti, suffers from anxiety as the roads in their cities begin to get paved with cobblestone and canals begin to bring water through the streets.
With the formation and training of the RTSs of the Bantu army, the nation waits and waits for the counter attack by the Ubangians. And it most certainly did come. Through small forest paths, the Ubangins launch a strike upon the small Bantu capital, and would have captured it if it werent for Banubans who push the Ubangians back to prewar borders.

Aragon, have become NPC nations.
And yes, you still need to say continue wonder every turn or else it wont get done.
Grandmaster, I have failed to locate Gaya, my atlas does not have it.
I have changed the industry slightly as well. It now includes farms and how well developed they are as well.
So, Constantine, I just boosted your industry for your economy for farms thing.
I have skipped us 1,000 years ahead in time in order to get to the good stuff J.

Not that it's any of my business, but placing vikings on finnish soil isn't very logical, as vikings have never lived there in real life - the first "vikings" who started to settle in finland were Swedes in around 1100, but by then the viking ages were almost over and Sweden had already became a christian kingdom by then!
When looking at it realistically, people living around that area during the time that is going on in this game would be the Sáme people - those who were driven to north by Finns when they came from the east and settled what is now known as Finland about 1500 years ago. Both the Sámeans and Finns are Finno-Ugric people, while Vikings have Germanic heritage, so even in this way they aren't even in the same category with the Vikings.
But really, placing vikings there would be like placing Carthagians in France. Not accurate at all.. just wanted to point this out because of lack of better things to do

-"It's amazing your majesty! Since the discovery of better ships our people emigrated even more than we ever tought they will! We reached as far west as an Island called Sardinia by the locals!"
-"Yes, it is much more than expected... Much much more... But you know, we have a very undeveloped army. Maybe it's becuse we don't realy need one. We should consitrate on creating more colonies and creating a mighty navy."
-"Yes I agree with you your majesty. We should consitrate on the navy to defede our streched country. But soon we will have land connections to other countries and empires and than we will need to find a way to mount armies fast, and I am not sure we could..."
-"You are right. We shall give more into creating a major defensinve army, and we will soon begin creating forts and walls across the empire. But now we also need to expand our economy. Trade can be the point we should aim at. Until today we knew of no other countries to trade with but now our ships have met the Egyptians, Romans and Carthaganians. Wich some say came from our homelands in more ancient times. )OOC-I assume I met them... With Rome I gonna have a border, and i crossed Egypt and Carthage with my navy...)
Sidon- the second age of the gods
As writen in the first chapter in the city of Byblos Iydon Goddes of beauty and love met Turr God of war and fell in love with him in first sight. Her mother Ullah burried herself inside the ground but was blessed to never die by her doughter. The father Agidor god of the sea left Ullah in favor of Tueleh Goddes of the sky. Thats was when lands came out of sea. Tikor god of thunder and Dravina goddes of lighting were both burned from Iydon eyes when she was touched by the first rain. Those were also the first tears.
Back to our story.
Iydon tried to make Turr fall in love with her. She tempted him and tried again and again. But he never truly loved her. But one day he agreed to marry her. Her happiness was so big it came out of her and caused the creation of Diogo god of happines. When Iydon saw her new baby tears of happines fell from her to him. They washed his body and the dirt became another baby. Luftar god of sadness was made. In the seconds to his creation he begun to cry and cry and his mother becamse sad. she decided it is not good that somone will be made only of sadness and called her father to aid her in making both babies one again. Agidor helped his doughter but their creation was not perfect as they expected... The new baby had 2 faces. one of Diogo and the other of Luftar. Iydon also saw both had diffrent personalities! The new god was called Diogoluftar. Iydon did not liked the idea of two faces so she took and hold them both and made them into one. But it was never perfect. Somthimes the head changed and each time another personlity came out...
Some time after Turr and Iydon had their first baby. He was ugly like nothing befor. When Turr saw him he took him and threw him out of his house. Iydon was sad but did not liked the small baby more than Turr and decided to let the baby go. The baby fell on the ground near a huge mountain. That is when Ullah saw him and waken up for the first time. The baby rolled to the mountain for years and a whole family and gods and goddeses was created. Ullah woke up and took the ugly baby in her hands. She knew he was Iydon son. She took care of him and in just few days he grew into a grownup man. But he was ugly and angry. He hated his mother and father. He asked Ullah to teach him how to create lifes. Ullah agreed and showed him the way by creating the first animals the world saw. When the ugly god touched the mud Ullah made into creatures the mud by itself and changed into many animals. Animals roamed the earth very fast. The small god was still angry and created monsters of the mud. He commanded his creatures to attack his mother and father house. What he did not know they were no longer togehter. Turr Trought out also a doughter of them ones and Iydon went out and took her changing her love to Turr into hate. Than she remembered her lost son and begun to look for him for years. Her girl baby was Tifta goddes of disasters and destruction. How she got this? When her mother came out of the house to take her the house fell on everyone inside. only Turr was inside. Than she created quakes that fell on her father and destroied his body. He became ugly but he was still strong.
Back to the story of life. The small god continued to create more and more creatures and monsters until he mistakenly created a man. He was amazed of his new creature. He taught him to talk and built him a home from wood. The man was lonley and only of his kind. When Ullah saw her grandson with him she suggested to create him more men to talk with. The young god did not wasted time and made him many friends. But all the men after finishing talking became also sad. The young god was sad to. The man asked him to make a woman, just like with all other animals. And sot it was, The first woman was created. Man liked his woman and built himself a new house for her. They went alone so The small god, wich Ullah said was god of life and creation, made more women and men until the world was filled with them. The gods were frightened from the new creature created and all searched for the creator. They found the god still making more creatures and men and women... Also his mother found him than! Iydon and her doughter Tifta saw him for the first time and also saw all the gods except Agidor and Ullah cursing him and wanting to hit me.
The continuation is in the third and last part of the ancient world. Wich is the third part of the books. It is found in Tyre, capital of the Pheonician empire.
In Tyre the king wanted more ships and better ones, he also wanted more trade reletions and more buildings. He decleared that from now on his short orders must be taken out as anything else.
Orders[/n]
1 eco for Trade (ports and stuff)
1 eco for Army- Tyrian garudian- Like a spearman with a longer ticker spear. They are easy to train and are only for defense matters. (this is no UU just a spearman with a longer spear and easier to create cause they know only to defende the motherland teritories and colonies and can't get out)
Continue expanding colonies and continue creating more. everywhere in the Mediterian. Try to get further west also.
-"It's amazing your majesty! Since the discovery of better ships our people emigrated even more than we ever tought they will! We reached as far west as an Island called Sardinia by the locals!"

Emperor
Long ago in a land (ahem galaxy) far far away (), there was a grand kingdom that ruled over a huge landmass, bringing its people a great amount of prosperity and wealth. There was virtually not one poor person in the whole of the kingdom. Everyone was pleased and deemed this to be the grandest nation known to the whole of humanity. The people saw no need to work to improve the kingdom, or protect it with a military. Who would want to destroy something so beautiful anyway? They thought. Unfortunately it soon became painfully obvious that the people did not understand human nature.
One of the many people of this nation was not all that happy. His name was Derivnom. He lived in a small home out in the countryside with his family who all admired nature, and had long before his birth decided they didnt need material commodities. They lived like they had nothing, but could have been very rich if they had so pleased. But they had chosen this path, and pushed it on Derivnom and his brothers as well. All of them were happy except Derivnom.
One day Derivnom was working hard out in the fields near the great unknown (that was what the people called the lands past the great wall of the kingdom. Most of the time it was very quiet outside the walls, but today was different. There was a great clatter of men banging and shouting. They knew someone was on the other side of the wall, and wanted to be let in. So, in as brave a voice as he could muster Derivnom said, Who goes there? The men outside replied, Great warriors from the land unknown, we wish to view the kingdom that needs no military. Thinking about this Derivnom didnt see anything wrong with letting them in. He had lived a sheltered life, and knew that this land was VERY beautiful. Of course others would want to view it.
Derivnom opened the gate as the men had requested. But immediately on opening it, they charged through with their great swords blazing. On the backs of huge quick animals they passed through the great land, in their wake they left the land black and charred. Maybe the kingdom could have lasted if it had spent some time on defenses, but supposedly no one would pass through the wall. It wasnt long before most all of the people of the land were dead. But somehow Derivnom hadnt been killed. It was probably a sadistic torture put on him by the conquers, knowing he had caused all of this destruction. But anyway, the last remaining people of this grand kingdom left their destroyed land to start a life anew.
The traversed great distances, never arriving anywhere. But one night they met a group of men who told them they could take them to a good land to settle. They had no other option but to follow the men. They did so, never giving up. After 3 years of wondering the first child was born outside of the kingdom. His name was Derivnom, after their leader. But he was also borne out of the most ancient house of the kingdom. It was decided that one day he would rule them. After the 18th year when the boy named Derivnom was 15 they finally reached their destination. It was a beautiful place, not as good a land as the kingdom had been, but it would do. There they made camp and started farms. Within a year they had established a successful and growing community. The men who had led them to this place reviewed themselves as Bornod, Hisslam, and Omlid. (yes I have crazy names). They also claimed to be gods, saying that they would protect these people and their descendants because they had proved themselves worthy.
No one believed the men until they preformed a great feat, of clearing an entire forest in mere minutes. After that the people worshipped all of them, depending on what their walk of life was. Bornod was the god of crafters and farmers, he gave great strength, creativity, and fine motor control to his worshipers. Hisslam was the god of the military men. He was determined to help his worshippers protect the people of this new Kingdom. He gave them strength and valor. Omlid was the god of Artists. He would help the people develop great works to honor the kingdom. The gods said they would be kind to the people, as long as they were loyal to the kingdom which they had worked so hard to create. If you lost your life bettering the kingdom or spent your life bettering it, it was said, you would be in a place of happiness for all eternity. The king of the kingdom, which became known as the Pure Land, was said to have direct communications with the gods in case of emergency. He was vital.
Eventually the first king had a son, named Peter, and died. The Pure Land, it is said, became known as Muscovy. The land they settled became known as Kiev, and soon people came and settled around the city. The kingdom prospered and grew, sometimes there were hardships, but the gods always seemed to help solve those. The religion became known as Kievenism, after the great city where the Pure Land all started.
Present Day
The king Peter 3rd heard his peoples cries for more grand works to help their lives, he decided to give it to them. He sent his 500 archers and 300 spearmen to move south into Sarmation land. If possible they would even move past the Sarmation land. They would conquer land on the grand lake known as the black sea. He also told his people that he would found a settlement on the grand lake, and build a road connecting it to Kiev. This would allow the people to travel more easily, and have trade with other nations.
Orders:
-Send 500 archers and 300 spearmen to expand south into Sarmation land and if possible even farther south.
-start a city on the Black Sea I think this costs 1 econ if not just save one of my econs
-build a road from Kiev to this new city, spend 1 econ on it.
-send missionaries of Kievism out from Kiev to convert the peoples in my kingdom and around me if they wish

Greetings friends to the East. How is you kingdom going? Muscovy would like to perhaps establish a road between our two nations.

), there was a grand kingdom that ruled over a huge landmass, bringing its people a great amount of prosperity and wealth. There was virtually not one poor person in the whole of the kingdom. Everyone was pleased and deemed this to be the grandest nation known to the whole of humanity. The people saw no need to work to improve the kingdom, or protect it with a military. Who would want to destroy something so beautiful anyway? They thought. Unfortunately it soon became painfully obvious that the people did not understand human nature. One of the many people of this nation was not all that happy. His name was Derivnom. He lived in a small home out in the countryside with his family who all admired nature, and had long before his birth decided they didnt need material commodities. They lived like they had nothing, but could have been very rich if they had so pleased. But they had chosen this path, and pushed it on Derivnom and his brothers as well. All of them were happy except Derivnom.

OOC: Jason, Gaya is the capital of modern Niger.... its on the Niger River, right near the Niger-Burkina Faso border. Check out a map of Niger on CIA World Factbook, and it'll show it. 
The white limestone buildings of Timbuktu glittered in the summer sun. Songhai children played in the streets, as the recent economic boom and the growth of commercialism allowed their parents to support the family without their children's labor. In the Temple, the priest's carried out secret rituals to honor the Spirit of Agriculture, praying her to make the crops grow tall during this growing season. The University had adjourned for a summer break of 3 weeks, but was now back in session, expanding the knowledge of its students. Several of the students had recently gotten together and written a great work of literature, called "A Scholar's Discourse On Peace." This philosophical manifesto laid the groundwork for a Songhai philosophy that war was the scourge of the earth, and that peace was the only way to re-attain the lost paradise.
In the villages, the children began to attend the schools more often, as they were not needed to work on the farms in this season. The harvest was many months away, and the sons of the farmers were sent to the large towns, where they learned mathematics, writing, agriculture, and all the other subjects their teachers could bestow.
But not all was perfect in the Songhai lands. The wealth and prosperity of the nation was like a beacon to the northern nomads; these people, frustrated by the recent draughts and livestock diseases, and by the bounty of their southern neighbor, had begun raiding the Songhai borderlands. In Timbuktu, Sonni Ali had a plan. Songhai was by no means a military power, but it was an economic one. If these fierce warriors from the north desired food and shelter, then they did not need to wage war on Songhai; they needed to wage war FOR Songhai. The King would send an embassery to the north to hire these people as mercenaries to fight for the Songhai army.
To Mali:
Greetings, men of the northern desert. We have heard of the woes of your famine, and mourn for your dead. Rest assured, they are with the Spirits now, and live a life of paradise. We have seen your frustrations turn to violence in our northern lands, and this we of course cannot tolerate. Now, I have two options. I could either order an army north to destroy you, or I could bring you into the light of Songhai civilization and the word of the Spirits. I should like to do the latter, if you will allow yourselves to be saved. Songhai is a rich and bountiful land; with our gold and iron, we have the wealth and the resources to equip, arm, and train the best soldiers in the world. We want you to be those soldiers. We offer you a deal; if you join our army as professional soldiers, we will arm, equip, and train you, and also pay you a healthy salary for your service. Every day you would receive 3 hearty meals. You would receive top-of-the-line Songhai medical care when you are hurt, and a pious Songhai ritual burial if you succumb, to assure your ascent to Paradise. Any Mali man who joins our army as a mercenary will be allowed, neigh, encouraged to bring his family to live in Songhai. They will live in our cities, where food is plentiful, life is beautiful, and our infrastructure provides easilly the water you toiled for in the desert. With the pay you will receive as soldiers, and any money they make in other pursuits, your families will live a good and happy life. Certainly this is preferable to being completely destroyed, no?

Songhai Orders:
-Recruit Mali warriors into my army. They are to be brought to Timbuktu for equipping and training, as per the below description. (2c)
-Continue expanding along the Niger with the existing expeditions.
-Attack the resisting, hostile Mali with the newly trained Malian Mercenaries.
Iron Age UU: Malian Mercenary
The Malian Mercenaries are professional soldiers recruited from the northern nomadic Mali tribes. The Songhai Army spares no expense in giving these professionals the best arms, equipment, and training available. Training of these units begin in Timbuktu, where all Malian Mercenaries are first brought after being recruited. Here, instructors (both University-educated Songhai instructors and Malian veterans) teach the new recruits the basics of arms proficiency, tactics, strategy, and survival skills. From this basic training, the soldiers are broken up for specialist training, in which they are assigned a particular role in the formation according to individual talents as seen in basic training.
The soldiers are armed with the finest Iron Age weapons the Timbuktu blacksmiths can produce. Standard kit for a Malian Mercenary is:
-Cloth tunic
-Cingulum with leather petruges
-Leather sandals
-Iron breastplate
-Iron backplate
-Iron helmet
-Iron outer arm plates
-Iron frontal leg plates
-Iron spear (~6 ft)
-Iron shortsword
-Iron general prupose knife
-Shortbow & iron-tipped arrows
-Iron-and-wood shield (~body length)
-Leather knapsack
-Mess kit
-Encampment implements
All armor and weaponry is custom-made for each individual soldier, to fit his exact phsyical specificiations. They are also intricately embelished by the soldiers.
The different specializations are (1) frontguard, the front line of the formation that fights the entire battle with swords; (2) lineman, the main body of the formation that initially supports the front line with spears, and then changes to swords during the battle; (3) archer, who initially offer ranged support by firing volleys at the enemy formation, and then switch to swords in battle; (4) rearguard, just like the frontguard, but defending the formation's rear; and (5) officer, who command the formation.
The troops are arranged in a phalanx-like formation. However, during the battle, the officers can give orders to switch to shield-wall, line-abreast, column, or loose skirmish formations. Malian Mercenaries are drilled in these maneuvres until they can form the different combat formations in their sleep (not literally.)
All Malian Mercenaries also spend 1 semester at the University, learning either History, Geography, or Engineering.
Once this period of training and outfitting is complete, a 1,000 unit is sent to its station. The units are typically stationed in fortifications at strategic points like bends in the river, large hills, and along roads; only rarely are they garrisoned in cities.

"General Barca, sir."
Hannibal didn't turn around -- he was focused on his physical training.
"General Barca, sir, we have orders from Carthage."
That got his attention. Hannibal stopped in mid-kick [he was beating on a humanoid thingy made of wood -- think an early form of punching bag] and asjusted his head so that he could see the messenger in one eye. His ONLY eye.
"What are those orders?" he queried.
"You are to lead an assault on the Numidians with a number of new reinforcements."
As if that wasn't expected -- the imbeciles running the council of Carthage were hardly capable of a good military strategy. All Hannibal would have to do, though, is create a strategy that INVOLVES an assault on the Numidians with reinforcements...
"Very well. Dismissed."
"Sir, I wish to inform you that the reinforcements are archery units and...I suggest you use them as support rather than main attack units."
A long pause.
"Thank you, messenger. I had assumed they were more spearmen. You are now dismissed."
- - - - -
Orders:
1) Increase the military with Archers.
2) Send 200 spearmen with 1/3 of the archers in the First Prong of Attack into Numidian territory according to the map. Show no mercy in this prong.
3) Send 150 spearmen with 1/3 of the archers in the Second Prong into Numidian territory according to the map. Show no mercy in this prong.
4) After the Numidians shift their attention on the first two prongs, send a Third Prong [as according to the map] consisting of 300 spearmen and the remaining archers into Numidian territory. This prong will accept surrenders.
5) 50 Spearmen are to expand along the eastern coast. All remaining spearmen are to guard Carthaginian holdings.

I dont get it jason, I placed my strategy to run AWAY from Spearmen, not fight them when using Chariots. It seems you have done the opposite. You seem to do that every time in every nes I am in war... :-/
And if the Chariots where to see Spearmen showing resistance, then if my orders was not to fight them, sinse we were on hills, wouldn;t they have ran away in advance? Our chariots are faster then thier foot soldiers. We should have left them in the dust, and blinded from the sane stormes behind a chariot flee.

Amirsan, not every place you fight is going to have hills. Not in every place you fight is there going to be a valley in which spearmen are in. Not everytime you fight them will they not be able to fight back.
What about the spearmen flanking your chariots? Even though they are fast, you sent htem into enemy territory and the spearmen could easily come in from benhind without you knowing.

My orders said to slowly follow the Spearmen with our Army. SLOWLY. My story depicted my army making a settlement on a hill inside thier border. Our first orders were not to dig deap in thier lands, but to attack thier small villages a couple miles into the border. If we were to get immediate resistance on the border, then the rest of my army would have been right there to support my flee of chariots.
