LOL! OK thanks Mr BC. It is actually in Peru, but it looks an awful lot like classical/ancient Greece? Yeah I can well believe that!BCharco wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 6:30 am Hello Mr Xj,
No, your question is not strange…
I understand your concern about the location. This is important to me too.
I like to dream and to be close of a certain historic reality. Like you, I think.
Well, your feeling is good. It is in South America : Peru…
And as you said to me in a previous message, This place seems like Greece…
The story "Rampart" is about a group of young female warriors from Sparta. Iuraly is the leader of this elite unit and is trying to take a fortress that is reputed to be impregnable and that protects a path in the barren mountains of Greece. The fortress is guarded by noble Athenian soldiers...
Who will win this battle?

BTW ancient Sparta was situated in a part of Greece called Laconia, in the Peloponnese, the largest peninsular to the Southern part of ancient Greece. It had water - the river Eurotas flowed through it- but other than that it was quite dry and barren, with extremely high and steep hills/small mountains running roughly in two lines NE-SW. The farming was quite poor and it was a bit of a struggle in order to survive. Also Sparta itself was surrounded by would-be enemy city states and regions, even to the sea to the south where either the Persians or the Athenian navy ruled supreme. It was because of this location/setting, that the Spartans - both men and women - boasted of how tough and hardy they were. And, except from the few occasions where they were allied with the Athenians (like, for example, against the hated Persians, or Medes as they called them insultingly) they were usually bitter enemies of the Athenians and often fought them to a standstill in several nasty little squabbles or inter-city wars.
Spartans always used to boast that whilst Athens had the culture, the marble, the democracy, the navy, and the money (lucrative silver mines kept the cash flowing for the building and the navy), the Spartans had the things that were far more important and what truly counted in any war or conflict - Spartan Blood, Experience and Honour/History.
