I began playing the total war series on Medieval, so I didn't really get to meet the romans. And yes, I was talking about a medieval italian republic.

you could hire some medici mercenaries and fake that you are playing as milan

A little something, something for the great man O'Neill. More soon.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The fire sent sparks dancing into the night sky, and shadows crawling over the ring of men who sat around the blaze. Patrick O’Neill watched the men he had gathered around the fire this night, each man ready to give his life for the land they so loved. The moon cast its cold light down, warring with the bright flames as Patrick spoke.
‘Tomorrow we fight for what is ours; we the Gaelic have given our blood to this land. Our women have birthed our sons into this world, we have placed our dead back into the rich soil’ as Patrick spoke each man hung on every word, his strong features moving in and out of the shadows as the fire was pulled in time with the nights wind. ‘The Avalon think they can stroll into our lands and take what they want, you all well know the saying’ Patrick spoke in the old tongue ‘Is ladarna gach cù air a shitig fhèin’ switching back to common he repeated it ‘Every dog is bold on his own midden, these Avalon dogs are very bold in their own lands and now they seek to continue that boldness in ours.’ Muttering from the men gathered slowly died as Patrick again spoke.
‘Tomorrow the Avalon will feed the land with their blood and their screams shall echo from the hills, take rest now men for come morning you’ll need your strength.’ With that the men rolled over into cloaks as Patrick sat and watched the night sky, flames dancing in his eyes.

Morning came as dark clouds hung heavy over the hills and dark valleys leading to Atha Righ, Patrick stood lost in thought as the grass whipped around his legs. Sudden beams of sunlight assaulted the landscape before retreating back behind the clouds, rain would soon come, Patrick thought to himself as his men broke camp, the faint sounds drifting up before being stolen away by the stiff breeze. They would catch the Avalon in the valleys before they reached Atha Righ, one battle to end the Avalon’s dreams of conquest or so Patrick hoped, he had gathered every able man he could and he would need them if the rumors were right. A single spy had returned from the lands of the Avalon, having sent five, the man reported that the King could be leading the Avalon in this invasion. King Henry, Patrick’s hands tightened on the grip of his two handed sword, the tip resting in the thick grass, to kill the king would end the Avalon’s incursions for years to come. Time to move, he thought as the clouds finally started to pound the ground with fat drops of rain.

Henry King of the Avalon rode next to Gawain of Glastonbury, the rain hammering down on the men making it hard to hear what Gawain was saying,
‘My lord we will pass through the next set of hills and down a valley, which will bring us out just near Atha Righ. The Gaelic will surly piss their breeches when they find themselves facing us.’ Henry just nodded, already knowing the path they would take from the maps he’d studied the night before. He just hoped the damn Gaelic would actually notice them in this rain, the men who trudged by were nothing more than hazy shapes. Gawain continued speaking,
‘The men have already build ladders and will be ready to storm the walls as soon as we arrive. This time tomorrow my lord we will be sitting in the halls of Atha Righ drinking wine and having our way with their women.’
‘There will be no rape or murder of the innocents; we will need the population to work for us not against us. Am I understood?’ asked Henry, his voice cutting clearly through the downpour,
‘Yes my lord.’ Murmured Gawain, disappointment clear on his face. Henry paid no regard to this, he thought the future and wouldn’t let a few moment of stupidity ruin the chance for the Avalon to rule the isles. The hills appeared out of the gloom before them as the long line of men began to move forward, soon the Gaelic will taste Avalon Steel and be crushed under the heels of his soldiers, despite the rain Henry was looking forward to this campaign.

That was a great short story Boris. And I am also very much impressed by The First O'Neill in both his outstanding work (along with Caki's Romans) and his extreme generosity.

Thanks O'Neill!

[toluas]

Another awesome story, mate! TFON deserves any tribute we can give him.

[EleventyK]

I, for one, welcome our new O'Neiliean overlord.

[Tzar]

Honor is all yours my friend, without you and your leadership this mod will never exist.

[Outlawstar15a2]

All hail High King O'Neill! Master of War! Father of Thera! And God among Gods! Let this day forevermore be dedicated to his inexhaustible honor! And let this day ring true for all mortals in his realm! For O'Neill! For Thera! For the Lao Che and Reich! For Humanity!

[midterm360]

I gotta say O'Neil, My hat is off to you, but I cant say anything that hasn't already been said.

[Borissomeone]

Everyone who has helped with this mod deserves to have a story written about them, mind you Caki is already in my Thera tale. And Tzar will live on in the fine sigs he made. More soon about Patrick O'Neill and his battle to save his lands.

[The Holy Pilgrim]

Can't wait to hear them Boris.
