Holiday Skirmishes between Rome and Macedon

A dark cloud hung over Epochcraft on a fateful Tuesday., July 275 B.C.

A devious janny demanded blood for keys. The Romans agreed.

Three Romans set upon a nameless Macedonian town and arrow skirmishing began. The Macedonian villagers charged out after a time, and the battle lines were mixed. Romans and Macedonians split into separate distant groups and fought their own battles. On several occasions, Macedonian fighters were on the brink of death, but managed to re-group and counter attack the Roman soldiers. One Roman died while the others managed to escape.

The Macedonians then counter-attacked the Capital of the Roman Republic for revenge, but both waves were wiped out. Roman steel and femboy thighs out cut and out strode Macedonian forces. They were completely outmatched. Furious over the loss of equipment, they vowed revenge. Romans responded with talk about hentai.

The fighting that began that day would bleed into the next.

The following morning a single Roman legionnaire ventured into Macedonian. He was disappointed by his slowness. Earlier a soldier from Antioch had massacred a great many Macedonians and taken home incredible spoils. The Legionnaire could only hope that Macedonian ass remained thick and slappable, but he was to be disappointed.

The Legionnaire found a great number of Macedonians working feverishly in a bunker, apparently secure in the knowledge that they were untouchable. Romans are of course incredible engineers, and the Legionnaire easily defeated their locks and infiltrated the bunker, massacring the workers. He stayed a while and killed soldiers who responded but quickly grew bored and tabbed out to youtube - while still inside the Macedonian base. Their reprisal was swift, and the Legionnaire was poisoned and cut down.

The family of the slain legionnaire appealed to the Senate for vengeance, and so a formal raiding party was sent. Their campaign sent many Macedonians to early graves, as the Romans exploited the same weakness to infiltrate the bunker once more. Heroic, but mentally underdeveloped Macedonians, attempted to thwart Roman infiltration, but were unable to mine stairs with wooden pickaxes while Romans hacked them to death (why did they try this???) Weary of fighting, the Romans eventually returned home.

Macedonian leadership was outraged by the failures of the days and ordered two large scale counter attacks to assault Rome itself. Aware of the harsh losses of equipment earlier in the day, or perhaps due to a complete lack of adequate equipment, both assaults used only leather armor (if any armor was used at all).

The initial attack was the most successful. The Macedonians found and engaged an elderly community tending to their farms, and razed their lands. Roman leadership had considered the possibility of reprisals and a small number of Romans were geared for fighting in top tier equipment. Citizens who witnessed the invasion force also took up arms from the city's armory. The Macedonian's first assault concentration was battered by Roman Centurions, shattering the formation. Macedonians who survived the initial onslaught attempted to flee, but one by one all were cut down.

The second Macedonian assault brought to bear an even greater number of ill equipped soldiers, but it was cut short. Quite short at 35 seconds, as this was all the time the Romans needed to eradicate the entire attack.

The fighting that day died by Roman blades, and the sun set on a calm night.
