To All The Members, of All The Legions of Achilles
The time has come and current events dictate that the legions of Achilles must now change from an economic, mutual support , protection based alliance, to a military based war machine. We will use the cities of all, to produce the troops and ships needed to secure the future of ourselves and our friends against those that oppose us. This means change, and it will happen now.
We have been called a vast and untrained Mass Recruiting Alliance. We have recruited the most active beginning players on the islands in our oceans, wich brings us to be the largest alliance by space, 2nd in points. Still we have no respect. Therefore, we will now gain the respect we deserve, and our place as a military power. I want to state here and now, to our friends, they will remain our friends, and will continue to enjoy the peace and security that we have shared. in the past and the future.
The younger cities in our southern oceans will be allowed to grow and become strong, as the older establish cities have had time You will be expected to be more aggressive in farming at earlier stages, producing troops and ships that will be used in support operations. We will continue to recruit and grow with our younger cities as we have in the past, making sure no one gets in through the back door. Everyone will have a role.
Our established cities will be tasked with getting their academy to level 28 so they can conquer cities, build troops/ships to fight, and defend if attacked. At the same time, they will use those troops to clear out cities for farming and building battle points for conquering. If you do not fight, and want to play sim city, you will become alliance farms voluntarily or by force. You have enjoyed the protection of the alliance, to insure that protection in the future, we must all pay a price. Fight, or provide the resources to those that do, so none of our members get colonized. If your battle points are not up to par, you will be asked to fill your warehouses with resources, and send them to cities that are close to our battle lines to build troops and ships. All cities will farm, but those that do not fight will share their resources, build their mines, timber, quarries , temples to high levels to support members in areas who are fighting.. If you refuse to fight or share your resources you will be farmed by force. If you leave the alliance, we will still farm you, colonize you and take you out of the game.
This is a game of war, and during real life wars, people of those nations made sacrifices, sending their dads and sons to fight, moms and daughters to factories to build guns, ships and ammunition, it will be no different here. Fight or support the war effort. If you don’t, we will use your resources, even if we have to eat our own, as instructed by natural selection. Only the strong survive. The Legions of Achilles, and those that support us, WILL STAND.
Gardenbuff, founder of the Legions of Achilles
