Imperator: Resurrection of an Empire

The warships had traversed the sea and their docking at the port city of Tideshore was being conducted, as the city had already fallen under their control this time around Julius and Zeff could watch the docking proceeding as they slowly slipped their way into the harbour.

The men who once more glad to be on dryland save for a few who asked for leave from the army to continue training under the sailors as the first Latinium naval forces to which Julius readily gave them permission.

These initial trainees would be invaluable as a series of naval academies were planned to train up proper sailors but aside from Carthage trainers would be needed so having experienced soldiers dually trained in naval tactics could allow for the formation of a marine squad, one trained for both land and sea combat.

An elite assault force If you will just like the Marines of Earth.

For now, losing a few dozen legionnaires to become naval personnel and possibly future naval officers and captains was a much-needed thing.

With two established port cities the creation of new ships would also be possible and the new ships would be created using the height their technology would presently allow.

The ships in question would be Assault Class Hexareme’s capable of being rowed or sailed, and each with a pair of torsion catapults along with multiple decks allowing for the transport of a complete cohort per ship, and an iron ram being used allowing for these Assault ships to easily penetrate into the hulls of other navies levelling the playing field.

Tideshore was a less established port city than Intin as the last king of Bridget and his predecessors cared only for military power and not for economic might, so when the citizens decided to found the port city allowing them access to the sea both for trade and food reasons the king provide no aid and as a result, the city was established but grew incredibly slowly.

But that time was over, this city now belonged to Julius and he was prepared to throw his total support behind this city to develop it into one that rivalled or possibly even surpassed Intin.

Beginning with the expansion of the port, this was accomplished in the same style as the one he’d created in Intin, and so in the span of a few hours, the port facilities of Tideshore were easily more than quadrupled.

Once entering the city the creation of identical Merchant, Travellers, and other guild builders were erected along with a City hall, Military barracks and other assorted resources that would enhance the city’s growth.
