200 - Carthage was wiped out. A general of ours lays siege to Petra.
199 - Victory over Pontus as they tried to assault Sidon. Over two thousand Pontus were slain to four hundred Thracians.
198 - Scipii offered to become our protecorate, accepted with three thousand denarii as payment. Egypt sallies out to meet the attackers at Petra and are anihilated. Petra is taken for Thrace.
197 - Sidon assulted again by Pontus and are cast back again. After their defeat a second Pontus army lays siege to Sidon. Macedonia is defeated and we start trading with Parthia.
196 - Pontus tries to scale the walls of Sidon, but due to extremely poor general'ing are defeated without a single Thracian casualty. Scipii are quick to break their promise and besiege Thrace.
195 - Sidon is besieged again and a large Brutii army appears before the gates of Kydonia. The Scipii ally themselves with Pontus and attempt to take Thebes, they are repelled with a skeleton garrison but very few defenders remain.
194 - Rescutarme captures Damascus with a new army built in Jeruselam. Thebes and Memphis are under siege again from Scipii, Sidon and Kydonia also from Pontus and Brutii.
193 - Kydonia is lost to Brutii, the attackers at Memphis are repelled from the walls in a Heroic Victory and once again Sidon's walls stand strong against Pontus.
192 - Thebes is assaulted and although most of the Romans were slain, they did take the city and exterminate it. Near Damascus, Rescutarme defeats an Egyptian Army and hurries back inside the walls of Damascus. Damascus is then besieged by Pontus, under a very experienced general.
191 - Rescutarme sallies forth to meet this Pontic general, hoping to cross swords with this noble enemy. This chance was deprived of him as an Onagar flattened the enemy leadership. Without a general, the Pontic army was crushed. Near Thebes an army had gathered, forces from Memphis rode out and vanquished the Scipii.

Good job against Pontus. I actually forgot about Kydonia when I was playing lol, oops.

(Rob you have a freaking awesome profile picture. XD)

[comrade_general]

Next would be Lord Bliaddmor if he still wants a go (or anyone else who wants to jump in).

[Clockwork]

I've mailed our resident noble, ty Will

[Clockwork]

Not heard anything back, baton passed to the tactical genius of cg.

[Paramythion]

Apologies to all for any inconvenience I may have caused there, I have been off stalking the fabled wild boar of Exilian for most of the past week, and I forgot to announce my departure. Due to my guide's unfortunate mishap with his spear though, I'll be be holed up in the city for the foreseeable future, so if no one else has started, I would be more then happy to lead these valiant Thracians, and if someone else has already hopped in, then I am perfectly happy to wait as well.

Sincerely,
               Lord Blaiddmor

No problem Lord Blaiddmor. cg has it at the moment, I don't know if he's started it yet. If he hasn't, you'll get it soon, if not then fairly soon

[comrade_general]

I took a peek at the world situation, annnnnnnnd I think I'll let you take the turn, Lord. File sent.

[Clockwork]

I didn't do *that* bad did I? :S

[comrade_general]

You did as good as anyone could in that situation, Rob.

[Clockwork]

I'm thinking Dacia or Scythia might have been a safer option? They seem to have a load more toys that Thrace doesn't get

I don't think it is going to be a good situation for a while.

[Jubal]

I really hope Blaiddmor is good at this game. 

[Son of the King]

Anyone mind if I jump in after Blaiddmor?

[comrade_general]

Not at all. As long as there is still a game to play after Blaiddmor.
