The coastline is extremely well-defended; the most advanced minds of a generation work beyond its bluffs to ensure the empire is never caught unaware. The only method to besiege these shores that will have any significant effect is sheer overwhelming numbers. But surely no army would mount such an attack; the casualties would be immeasurable!
This map is inspired by the myth-shrouded mirror weapon that historical writings suggest Archimedes used with “burning mirrors” to set anchored ships on fire during the siege of Syracuse. I remember seeing the Mythbusters episode about this very subject and thinking it all made sense to me! Solar beam your enemies! So here’s my D-Day-like fantasy Greek Omaha Beach attack phased map.
