Hands down this round goes to Macedonia and Persia.  Is it not a wonder why those who make offerings to Him do better than those who do not?
 
Let the empirical data speak for itself, for the two offerings received this year beget one build each!  How is that for all you scientists.  Barbarians.  I tell ya...
 
And so without further ado, on to more important things!
 
aka... Fashion!
 
***************************************
 
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to that mad, mod, marvelous Mecca of Mediterranean models: Fashion Week in Cyrenaica!
 
Yes, the girls will be walking out soon to display the latest craze is seaside wear, and I know you're are all abuzz with that eternal question: What's hot, what's not? Maybe a little history can guide us to the answer.
 
In Spring 220BC, women threw out their native wear and welcomed Carthaginian Couture.
 
But by Spring of 219BC, all the ladies in the know were dressing like an Egyptian!
 
Until the following fall, of course, when Egyptian fashion stumbled on the runway and the Carthaginian look sprang back to its feet!
 
Now, a year later, will Carthage retain its grip on the Cyrenaician clothes hangar or will the fashion world be singing, "Don't want no fancy wardrobe, just one like Ol' King Tut!"?
 
Wait! The lights are going down, the music is starting up, the curtain is parting, and our first model down the runway is wearing . . . slippers and a veil!  Why, it's the Persian Look! Yes, fashion is ready for a wild magic carpet ride this season. Enjoy it while it lasts!
 
Which, in Cyrenaica, is never long.
 

***************************************
 
We have one retreat!  But the Germanian Army in Belgica could only go to Aliso so I just nudged it there and we move on to winter!
 
Carthage: Build 1 (no gain, but 1 unit disbanded)
Macedonia: Build 1
Persia: Build 1
Germania:  *may* opt to take Ali OTB and build something else instead.
 
BUILDS by THURSDAY!  10/14, 3pm Central.
Enjoy!
