Numidia

Octagon of Syphax

Numidia is a Berber kingdom located in western North Africa, its sole and capitol city is Siga, which lies around modern Oran.

### Numidian Cities

Siga is the main city of the Numidian empire, it is characterized by its high walls and nearby octagonal monument, which dominates the surrounding landscape with its impressive size. Contained within the walls a series of isolated districts with varying styles, constructors, purposes. The first zone contains the palace and library, the main storage site for the splendors of the city. The furthest away from this zone is the farming zone, which contains the animals and foodstuffs of the empire. Nearby the first zone in the corner adjacent is a separate walled residential district. Further down is the market and brewery, which house the only fully staffed commerce hub on the map with a total of 5 (five!) villagers. Despite being in the relatively arid Mediterranean region of North Africa, Siga remains verdant, decorated with many shrubs, ivies, trees, and vines.

* Nearby but not within the city itself is the monument to King Syphax, dubbed "the octagon" by its builder. A large polygonal structure which serves as the main building of worship for the area

Numidia in its early days retained sovereignty from its neighbors and relatively peaceable relations with all regions and powers, save for a few isolated incidents.

* The first of these cases occured on a tour in which Persian dignitaries vandalized the city after a particularly traumatic experience of the same sort had just recently happened; the great chicken massacre.

### Numidia in war

Numidia has had only one instance of direct war experience as a nation, in which it participated in the Seleuco-Persian war as a band of hired mercenaries. The number of Numidian auxiliaries had never exceeded six in number but most often during the war period remained around four men.

Notable in their achievements during this war period, Numidia together along with their two Sardinian allies in a defensive war had managed to defeat a larger force comprised of one Dacian and seven Sicilians including one wearing a full set of dungeon armor. Attacking this larger force with only half of the Numidian force at its maximum strength in possession of steel armor and weapons.

### Numidia with Animals

Numidia holds a wide variety of creatures in its walls including all normal domestic animals, and a large contingent of horses. Among these are none so more prolific or hated than the chicken.

#### The Chicken Incident

Numidia had been on the server for a long time, and as the TPS lowered they did not think much of it. Until during a two hour period of one day, Numidian animal caretakers had discovered that in their negligence, one of their members had bred the chickens too much. They had allowed thirteen hundred chickens to be kept alive in their pen, causing severe lag for themselves and the server. After an aforementioned two hour period, Numidia had managed to slaughter all of these chickens, spending two and a half steel swords in the process, an amount of chickens that was capable, and frequently did, lay over 100 eggs a minute. To future Numidians and chicken keepers worldwide, those in charge of slaughtering this incredible number plea "Remember the 10,000 feathers".
