this is an rp where we command armys in the ancient world, choose the nations your general is from, and then create your general and go to use attack the enemy territory. in order to attack enemy territory, you have to declare it and they'll have to fight back. the amount you can have in an army is posted here

Rome: 80,000

The Greek Nations-
Seleucia(Witch_King_of_Angmar):190,000
Macedonia:125,000
Ptolemaic egypt:150,000

Carthage:90,000

Pontus(Curunir):60,000

Armenia:40,000

the greek nationshave large armys but there troops are weaker, so they need back up from the small number of elephants in an army

Rome has smaller armys which have much better quality

Carthage has a more middling army but has elephants

Pontus has to use horse archer and skirmish tactics along with heavy calvary flanking to win the day

Armenia has things similar to pontus but mainly uses horse archers and cavalry, which is of good quality and makes it hard to catch their forces

and if the enemy infantry charged a roman battle line they could expect pilum to rain down on the front line
