Mertucia 1480-1500 and the first battle
After Yandavara declared Mertucia part of the Haludua Republic, Mertucia declared war. They refused to be ruled by a govenor from a city they had previously fled from. They had previously been building up their military to protect them and to escort settlers to other islands to create cities that will be part of their republic. They had plenty of wood to build their ships. They had to set their ships up to transport soldiers to Yandavara.
Mertucia was suprisingly able to support their vast troops. Mainly because they had support from the Most Serene Republic of Venice and Tuscany. Most people from those regions moved to Mertucia giving the city exponential growth. Like this:
After the fleet took off, it would take them about less than a month to get to Yandavara. However halfway there, they ran into an intercepting Yandavaran fleet. The battle started almost immediately.
There were reinforcements that came to backup the fleets. The battle lasted 16 hours and ended in a Mertucian victory. They statred north again and reached the coast of Yandavara. Th first order of buisness was to blockade the port. They did so, but it did little since the farms were located inside the walls and the city had been prepared for a siege. But they they kept the blockade in place until they were given orders to attack.
The circled ships are Mertucian. Also note that Yandavaran ships are with the sails down. There is very little left of these ships because of the battle. This would be crucial in the years to come.
