You may wish to take some of that 5 million gold and spend on Achaean
lessons. I'll give you a sample of what you could get for that hefty
sum:

The word for what the Vertani have been experiencing as of late is
"defeat." You see, to have a 'triumph,' you can't have all of your
soldiers killed and your fortress destroyed. Also, when you say 'useless
structures' I believe the term you're looking for is 'Vertani soldiers.'
I'm glad that we can at least agree that they are quite useless, I'm
sure you won't mind, then, when we slay the rest of them.

If you want more lessons like this one, just send me some of your gold
along with your question, and I'll be happy to correct your vocabulary.
