OK!
Macedonian battle orders:
This a picture of what will happen:

Chronological Order:
Purple A:
The army pulls back to the east, a rearguard of chariots and the Athenian Expeditionary force will hold off the enemy.

Bright Yellow = 150 Spearmen (3 Ranks, 50 Columns)
Dark Yellowish green = 100 Archers (2 Ranks, 50 Columns)
Blue = a Unit of Chariots (5 Chariots armed with spears and “bows and arrows”)

Basically, as the enemy advance the chariots will zoom around shooting them, then when they get to close they will run off down the flanks. The Athenian archers will then shoot the advancing men with the spearmen acting as a wall. The chariots will cover the Athenian Flank.

Purple B:
The main army reaches about here and turns sharply west the 150 spearmen follow. Then 50 archers carry on and board the galleys. The chariots go south out of sight.
The other 50 archers move south to garrison the Macedonian capital.

Yellow A:
The ships loaded with archers go towards the capital.
If the enemy army follows then the chariots move towards the capital as well.

Purple C:
The main army quick marching west turns northwest towards the river.

Yellow B:
The navy feigns getting lost and moves so that land is just in sight.

Purple D:
The main army crosses the river and follows it towards the capital

Yellow C:
The navy reaches the river then, if the army has followed them moves south, down the coast raking any pursuers with arrows whilst the group of chariots make hit and run attacks on the army.

If the army hasn’t followed them then the archers get out and burn the city.

Purple E:
The main army will either meet a BIG army, a smouldering city or an undefended city.

New Taikir

The nation prosspered. The wars in Rome were going succefull and soon the Roman state would become part of New Taikir. But with new people under the monarchy control the country could no longer be called on the name of their first people. The Empire of Takir was decleared and King Chuish, in the year 1660 b.c. was decleared Emperor of the empire. With much more power and influence than in the old Monarchy now the Empire of Takir begun to grow stronger. It's armies led by Chuish son Fusan, a mighty general brought many victories in Rome and all that was left was the city farms and Rome itself. Soon with the aid of their allies the empire will begin a siege on Rome until the city will surrender from lack of food and clean water. And if ceasar won't surrender than the people of Rome would kill him themselves. One thing Chuish knew, if Rome will not surrender, all the city people will be slaughtered. This will be the punishment for killng an empire soldeir for any citizen of the empire, and with world wide support for Rome counted as part of the empire, they will be punished for their crimes against soldeirs.

While the war went in the south goods and pllunder reached the north. A new city called Amnish was build at the mouth of the Rhine in the north. The city population was the second biggest in The Takirian Empire.

After the war in Rome another war would begin, all knew, even the allies, but the enemy was still not sure...

Orders
Use army to finish with Rome. Siege the city until they surrender.
Grow Spreamen and Archers (-1 eco)
Change country name to : The Empire of Takir

- Sign alliance with Cyprus.
- Send our scholars and smiths to teach the Cypriots to make iron weapons. (these three orders are done as per agreement with tossi. You could ask him.)
- Have our spies try and find out as much as we could about the Assyrian king. Then give all the information acquired to Cyprus, or rather to the people its supposed to send through our territory.
- Have 200 of our archers pillage Hittite countryside to gather the money for more troops.
- Continue taxation, hopefully to get some more troops into our army - we need some spearmen and swordsmen. Also offer land to some of the poorer nobles if they and their subjects join our army.
- Enslave all the Anatolian Hittites (from hereon, simply Hittites - the Canaanite Hittites would now be Halittites). They will be used for all the dirty labour we can find.
- 226 spearmen, 50 Hyksos chariots and 500 archers are to attack the Assyrians around Hatti. Use our old tactics.
