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
