Total Dominance: The Sovereign Triumph of Egypt (ПРОТИВНИК СОСАТБ)

In an epochal achievement unprecedented in living memory, Egypt (ПРОТИВНИК СОСАТБ) has subdued the final coalition and unified the civilized world under its sceptre. Temple altars blaze with incense from sunrise to sunset to celebrate universal concord.

'The sacred chickens fed greedily before battle; the triumph of Egypt was ordained by the gods,' noted a temple augur.

The Final Threshold: Egypt (ПРОТИВНИК СОСАТБ) Needs Only 0 Cities

Merely 0 strongholds separate Egypt (ПРОТИВНИК СОСАТБ) from ending the age of divided crowns, having raised its tally to an overwhelming 19 cities.

'The sword has severed what treaties and envoys could not hold,' observed a veteran tribune of Egypt.

Triremes in Formation: Egypt (ПРОТИВНИК СОСАТБ) Convoys Host to Athens

Biremes and heavy transports belonging to Egypt (ПРОТИВНИК СОСАТБ) crossed the open gulf from Miletus, discharging cavalry and infantry onto the plains of Athens. Local fishermen fled inland at the sight of the bronze rams cutting through the shallows.

Cartographers at the library have been told to leave generous blank margins on every map until further notice.

Dagger of Egypt (ПРОТИВНИК СОСАТБ) Pierces Rome (MonsterSerg) in Chersonesus

The councils of state have been shaken to their foundations by events in Chersonesus, where Egypt (ПРОТИВНИК СОСАТБ) trampled sacred oaths to launch a treacherous assault upon Rome (MonsterSerg).

Mothers of Rome gathered at the walls to ask every passing rider for the names of the fallen.

Generations of soldiers have grown grey in the camps along the frontier between Egypt (ПРОТИВНИК СОСАТБ) and Persia (unagimaki), where hostility has become a way of life. The two armies have faced one another for 4 campaigning seasons. 'The historians will make it sound far tidier than it was,' predicted a scribe, sharpening a reed. The agora buzzed with animated debates as philosophers and travelers dissected the strategic shift.

An Ancient House Extinguished: The Demise of Persia (unagimaki)

The destiny of Persia (unagimaki) has culminated in total ruin, having been stripped of its final stronghold and erased from the council of great nations. Its palace halls are desolate, its treasuries plundered, and its former lands divided among triumphant neighbors. Heralds in Persia read the dismal tidings thrice, for the crowd could not believe the first reading. 'Send for the Sibylline books; there may be something about this,' urged a worried pontiff.

Sole Heritage: Rome (MonsterSerg) Left with Naught but Byzantinum

With every other stronghold torn away by war, Rome (MonsterSerg) clings stubbornly to Byzantinum. The gates have been barricaded with rubble and the civic archives brought into the high citadel for protection. 'The gods measure victories not by territory, but by the virtue of those who conquer,' declared an archon in exile. Slave dealers at the Delos market reported brisk business, as always in times like these.

Fortunes wane for Carthage (Эльф ушастый), whose realm shrinks by 1 city, leaving them at 14.

Surveyors of Persia (unagimaki) rub out 1 boundary mark and sigh over a realm of 0 cities. A bleak ledger for Rome (MonsterSerg), falling to 1 stronghold following the loss of 1.

A merchant from the north swears that the wagons of Carthage have been repainted in the colours of Egypt. The agora is abuzz with the rumor that Rome and Carthage have drafted a secret pact of friendship upon a waxed tablet in a seaside villa.

A thick sea fog blankets the harbors; watchmen atop stone pharos towers blow conch horns into the gray dusk.
