The Valenian Empire interferes with Aculon's coastal expansion plans. It's not as simple as asking them to move because of their capital being near open waters. We will take advantage of their capital being near open waters. 8,000 soldiers will be divided into 4 equal groups of 2,000. Each group will be shown on the map with their own colors yellow, red, blue, and green. Green will be the first group to be sent out to cross the unclaimed area to the borders of the enemy. They then will attack in formations of a offensive phalanx. Each phalanx should have 250 soldiers including all types of spear men in the front, swords men in the middle and bowmen in the far back. All 8 phalanxes will all push in a straight line to force incoming troops back to their defenses. In case of large arrow attacks soldiers in the middle will raise their shields to make a roof. Green's goal is to make their way to the Valenian capital Yellow and Blue will travel and be sent 10 hours after Green. They will sail out to open waters at the right distance so that they can still see the Valenian Capital but the people in the capital can't. Yellow soldeir's will take advantage of any fog if there are any nearby. Yellow will sit at sea until they see that the Valenian capital is putting their attention at Green. Once the enemy focus is not at the ocean, Yellow will rush into the coast line dropping off all the soldiers either in shallow waters or on shore around the Capital to rush the walls. Blue is more to split the Valenian army by attacking a farther coastline. Blue will also use the phalanx formation if there are major cities in the area. If not many enemy soldiers arrive then Blue will be ordered to claim and secure as many cities as possible. Blue will split off from Yellow once Yellow is on wait for the queue for their attack. Red is the reinforcements for Green and Yellow, The Valenian army is a strong elite force but they won't be able to handle a lot if they are against a massive army of 16,000. Red will set sail at the same time as Yellow and Blue but because of the distance they must travel it will take them longer. The Valenian capital will surely fall into the hands of Aculon. If they do not surrender after or during the fall of their capital then all groups have an order to continue on attacking deeper into Valenian land.
this is only to make room for Aculon's coastal plan. =) First war in SoC
