I don't like the name of an advance being part of the name of another advance, so I dont like Military and military Strategy or Advanced Military.
The stated option is to make the other one Military Tactics. Despite we already have something similar (Trade Routes (why don't call it Caravan btw?), Trade Empire) I think this will be confusing since not all players know the difference between tactics and strategy.
So I think the best option is to give one of the cards a complete different name (or just Tactics.) I don't like the name being longer then necessary, so I prefer Warfare above Organized Warfare.
Well,
Both "Tactics" and "Strategy" don't cover the whole subject, so a link to "military" should be made.
"Trade Empire" and "Trade routes" are two totally different subjects.
On each card, a flavour-text will be printed which should clarify what each subject is, SO you could never say: "I don;t know the difference"
Also the image will give some flavour to keep those apart.
let me give you the texts for these cards here:
MILITARY
Military is organized warfare in any form. Military has been around for millennia. The image shows a Thracian warrior. The military development of the Thracians (starting 700BC) was one of the military highlights in history. Skilled horsemen, masters of light infantry fighting in broken terrain, and renowned for their ferocity, the Thracians were feared by even the greatest of their contemporaries, who were eager to employ them as mercenaries. After surviving invasions by the Persians, Greeks, Macedonians and Celts, the Thracians were finally conquered by Rome in AD 46.
ADVANCED MILITARY
The Roman army is known to be highly developed and structured. Auxiliaries (from Latin: auxilia = "supports") formed the standing non-citizen corps of the Roman army of the Principate (30 BC - 284 AD), alongside the citizen legions. Auxiliaries were non-citizens recruited mostly from the provinces. At the end of their service they were granted Roman citizenship.
TRADE ROUTES
Trade routes are logistical networks identified as a series of pathways and stoppages used for the commercial transport of cargo. Allowing goods to reach distant markets, a single trade route contains long distance arteries which may further be connected to several smaller networks of commercial and non commercial transportation. One of the vital instruments which facilitated long distance trade was portage and the domestication of beasts of burden. Organized caravans, visible by the 2nd millennium BC could carry goods across a large distance as fodder was mostly available along the way. The domestication of camels allowed Arabian nomads to control the long distance trade in spices and silk from the Far East to the Arabian Peninsula.
TRADE EMPIRE
The Aegean Bronze Age civilizations established a far-ranging trade network. This network imported tin and charcoal to Cyprus, where copper was mined and alloyed with the tin to produce bronze. Bronze objects were then exported far and wide, and supported the trade. The Minoan civilization arose on Crete an flourished from approximately 2700 to 1450 BC. The Minoans were primarily a mercantile people engaged in overseas trade. Their culture, shows a high degree of organization, and is well known for their trade empire.
