The Daphne Reforms
Who gets it: Seleucid Empire, Seleucid Rebels and Seleucid Rebels
Praise you Basileios, with good wishes from your people, Agathe Tyche. The Barbarians who call themselves Rhomaioi are ever expanding their realm. They are now threatening your grand kingdom, and the time has come to counter their endless swordsmen with a new weapon. Five thousand of our Argyraspides have been re-armed with chainmail shirts, the big oval shields of the Barbarians, straight swords, and javelins. In difference to the Rhomaioi, they are professional soldiers and will cut through them like a Xiphos through hot Syrian butter. King Seleukos be praised!
