You know how there are ruins and craters? For a stack like that the ground should turn red with the blood of the slain. (laughs evilly for several minutes until coughing) Oh, well were was I. And who's Cheryl.

I stand corrected. Good luck!
390 A.D.
Mursilis has gathered together a large number of military units and is advancing them against the western edge of the Sumerian empire. With most of the Sumerian military having been staged on the southern and eastern fronts, the Hittites have come upon a lightly defended area. With Osman accepting peace, most of the Sumerian forces have now been redirected towards the Hittite threat.
Military Advisor- Great One, a small formation of Hittite units has moved upon a hill northeast of Willaya Knoll. Before they could form up and stage an attack, one of our chariot groups scored a victory and another military leader has come forth.
Military Advisor- Etana and his swordsman army are within view of the town, but I fear they will not make it there in time.
400 A.D.
Military Advisor- The defenses of Willaya Knoll did not hold. We had too few military units there and our reinforcements did not arrrive in time. Also, the Hittites were aided by the presence of a great military leader.
King Gudea- Is it possible to assassinate this Hittite leader?
Military Advisor- No, he has moved west with spearman escort and their large formation of units is between him and us. Most of our swordsman armies are now arriving in the area, as are many other units. Enmerkar is on the southern border, with his army, harassing Hittite towns down there.
Domestic Advisor- My King, over 28 thousand Sumerian citizens were lost at Willaya Knoll. Should we evacuate any citizens in nearby towns?
King Gudea- No, we don't have time to get them out. Time should be spent building up defenses and constructing catapults.
410 A.D.
Military Advisor- Lagash Harbor is safe, for the time being. The huge Hittite formation has moved south, not east as expected. This will give us time to move more military units into the area.
King Gudea- Do we have a chance of defeating this attack?
Military Advisor- Our chances have improved with this unexpected move to the south. We will now have time to move a considerable number of units into the area.
420 A.D.
Military Advisor- The Hittite forces seem to be heading towards the town of Kuara Grassland.
Gilgamesh rushes into the throne room, all dirty and harried. King Gudea does not recognize him in the worn and dirty peasant disguise, he is wearing.
Gilgamesh- My King, I have just returned from spying on the Hittite forces. They are headed south towards Kuara Grassland. If they leave the protection of the hills and enter the fields around the town, their forces will be out in the open. Also, the citizens of the town have worked day after day and finally finished a protective wall.
King Gudea- Good work, my friend! Move all available forces into the town and have them fortify there.
430 A.D.
Military Advisor- Sir, the Hittite formation has split in two and entered the fields outside of Kuara Grassland. They are now in the open!
King Gudea- Good! Let them flail against the walls, until their strength is spent, then sally forth and wipe them out!
Military Advisor- Here is a list of our forces that are fortified inside the town.
440 A.D.
Decisive Battle
The Battle of Kuara Grassland circa.443 A.D.
After forming into three groups, the largest to the northwest, the Hittites began to move towards the town. The Hittite general gave the signal for an all-out attack and a loud shout came from all the swordsman. The ranks of Hittite swordsman rushed forward only to see several Sumerian sword armies manning some newly-constructed walls. Ladders are placed, then climbed and the sides engage. The fighting is fierce, with many men dying on both sides. Hittite catapults help to breach the northern wall and a horde of Hittite swordsman attempt to rush thru. Meshiaggasher and his swordsman army meet the invaders head on and manage to temporarily hold the breach, but end up dying to the last man. Another swordsman army, led by Lugalzaggesi the 2nd, rushes over from the western side of town. The Hittite incursion is quickly repelled and the breach is sealed. The valiant effort has greatly reduced Lugalzaggesi the 2nd and his sword army, in strength and in numbers. The attack soon falters and the few surviving Hittite swordsman retreat from the town.
Military Advisor- Supreme One, Kuara Grassland did not fall to the enemy! Great numbers of Hittite swordsman fell in the assault, to the sharp weapons of our swordsman armies. Sadly, Meshiaggasher and his army gave their lives attempting to seal a breach in the town walls.
Military Advisor- Here is a list of defenders that survived the battle.
(Note the battered condition of the armies)
King Gudea- We will make them pay for this! Take all chariots in the town and run down any Hittite survivors. Do not let them escape!
Sumerian chariot units sally forth to clear the area of Hittite scum. The counter-attack brings a stolen catapult back into the fold.
King Gudea- Excellent! As soon as all units are healed, we will retaliate!

Thanks everyone! It's humbling to have a cheering section!
@andis-1 I could probably post the mod after the story is done. I had told someone else in an earlier post that I wasn't going to, but if you still want it at that point, then I will.

Give the man time. Rome wasn't built in a day, nor was summer in this case.
Sorry about the delay, time has been short for this sort of thing.
I have the next update written up, but will not have time to type it in until sunday.
I'll give you a little tidbit- Sumeria finally makes it out of the Ancient Age.
