Nerva Note #18

by Gaius Marcellus Nerva

Transcript

After taking the Painted Sharks' last foothold on the mainland, this war has turned into one of attrition. While I construct a proper fleet, the Sharks' resources will continue to dwindle and my flyers will continue to harass their main compound. When we finally stage our invasion, their spirits will be broken and their storehouses empty.

In the meantime, I've been investigating this island's potential for naval warfare. Some sea creatures can carry a small ballista platform on their back, making them a curious sort of warship. I'm interested to see how they'll fare. Hopefully the Sharks can offer a skirmish or two before their will breaks completely.

Victory through discipline

Et accepto locum ultimum continentis, ex attritione vertit bellum. Dum ego aedificare convenit classis, ad opes, ad nihilum redigas, et continue mihi non volaces, ut permanerent lacessere, et maxime compositum. Cum nos denique scaena impetum nostrorum, et Alexandria erit dissipata, et in thesauris spiritus inanes.

Interea et rei huius insular iam navali potentia. Pars creaturarum in mari ballista potest portare parva suggestum in retro, faciens eos a genus curiosus longae. Ego sum interest quomodo se habeant. Utinam illi offerre possunt vel, ante proelium facit voluntatem omnino.
