You are, a Greek Citystate in the early years of the widespread Greek Colonization. You set forth from the haven that was Greece to settle new lands and bring new luxurious goods to the ports of Athens, Corinth, Apollina, Massilia and a few dozen others. You, are one of these 'few dozen others', you had set forth forty years prior to do this duty and now you've erected rows of houses and began your own city. But, alas, besides your own people, the tribes are aggressive and hostile to you, only a select few even offer peace and prosperity. Soon, rumors of Greek Colonies falling to the tribesmen became prevalent and panic ripened and spread across the people like locust. People fled and died, some even disbanded and joined the tribesmen in their homes... there seemed to be no hope for those Greeks living out of their homeland.. News reached them that Alexander was dead, and the Greek Empire had crumbled into a thousand pieces! The attacks worsened and more states fell to the tribes ravenous onslaughts. In the end... neither side could continue the wars being waged across the Greek World.. and the barbarians fled back to their filth -- what they call cities and villages and remained there. Peace excelled and took over all knowledge, men became decadent and walls were erected around the remaining states. Old hatreds were forgotten amongst the majority of the Greeks, but still thrived inside the Barbarians.. Relations improved, some more tribes allied with the Greek states and peacefully integrated. But not all, most refused the treaties and desires of the Greeks and set back to their gluttonous slaughter.
Your forefathers would have wanted your people to stay in your walls and refuse combat. But you.. you have lived in fear with your people since the attacks recommenced.. And yet the assembly stood by idly.. With one fell swoop, you and a group of conspirators slaughtered them and seized controlled of the city. Now you control your greek citystate, and you shall not bow to the demands and wishes of a few barbarians. The only option now is an attack, -- annihilation -- their peoples must not survive. Purge them from the face of existence and instate the Greeks, not the barbarians -- as the true power of this land!
--Rules--
1, You control a Greek Colony, wherever you want it in Europe and Africa.. Nothing else.
2, You're a tyrant, don't expect the people to love you. Expect them to lob rocks at you as you walk down the street.
3, We're in the ancient period, medicine is based around miasmas and clinical observation, not what we expect.
4, You're not Rome. You don't have a standing army and you certainly don't have an eager one whom is trained to the top notch standard. If war is unleashed upon you, you possibly have one season to ready for it -- spent training your cavalry and your phalanxes.
5, Disease and rebellion is a major theme, failure to uphold law and order will result in chaos. Disease will be prevalent.
6, Being besieged means no food will be grown, and no productivity will commence. Essentially, your city will remain at a stand-still until the crisis is averted.
7, The only friendly factions are other Greek Colonies, a few neutral tribes may exist, but they will not help you in combat.
8, You post what you want to do, I decide what happens.
9, Women don't serve in armies. What do you think this is, Scythia?
10, Phalanxes need to be supported heavily, a cavalry strike to the side will result in heavy casualties.
11, Lobbing your cavalry into Spearmen doesn't end well.
12, if you have read and understand this. In other type 'City-State'
--City-State Sheet--
City-state Name: Relative Age of City-State: (How long it has been founded..) Emblem: (What they use as their insignia) Factional Colors: (Such as blue and red.. etc.) Culture: (This is optional, pure-blood Greeks will only have Phalanxes, Peltasts and Cavalry. Essentially, the serve as the hard-mode. Greeks more entwined with their regions culture will result in easier gameplay. For the hardest gameplay, select Macedonian Greeks. (No, not those modern yugoslavs.)) Loyalty: (If a city-state is more loyal, a faction will be less likely to betray you.)
(You have fifty points for this.)
Agriculture: (High agriculture allows your people to have bountiful harvests and have larger stores in a siege, but allows the raiders to make more profit off you.) Workmanship: (Workmanship is roughly how decent your military is EQUIPPED. Decent levels in workmanship will mean your armor is more reliable, your spears sharper and more dangerous. However, it will result in metal resources being drained faster.) Military Skill: (Skill is roughly how well trained and experienced your men are, if they are well trained they will not break as easily and will hold stronger. However, more men will be unprofessional in everyday jobs, and so your economy will drop as your hoplites cannot maintain everyday lives.) Trade: (This is what it says, better trade will mean you make more money, but your military is more greedy and will likely attempt to betray you in pursuit of control.) Control: (Control means what it says. It means how strong your hold is on the country, if it is high then rebellions will happen rarely. However, you will be considered a 'threatening tyrant' and relations will be harder to achieve between NPC states.

(oh yeah.. forgot about location on the sheet. Did pretty bad there.)
(Accepted, Loyalty is how easily trusted you are. Having low loyalty will mean other city states will like you less. It's basically diplomacy.) |

--City-State Sheet--
City-state Name: Υψηλήοβελίσκος Relative Age of City-State: Forty-six years. Emblem: A obelisk with greek runes encrypted on it and lanterns of greek fire hanging from the tip. Factional Colors: Black, purple and a dark green. Culture: Egyptian, Syrian and Greek. Loyalty: Trustworthy, stable. Location: Cyprus Island. To the north is Turkey, south, Egypt, to the east is Syria and Israel. Although it's still considered as a greek island. That's why I put Egyptian, Syrian and Greek. Though, it's closer to Turkey so you'll decide if it's Syria and Egypt or Syria and Turkey I guess. :)
