NUKE-NES: ONE LAST TRY
UPDATE 2 ::: 1000 B.C. – 500 B.C.
Asia Minor
The Cyprus War
The Byzintines, having recently destroyed the traces of Egyptian Piracy, decided it was time for expansion, and Declared War upon the Fayid Dyanasty. The most vicious battle was the one on Cyprus, when over 90% of the Byzantine army laid siege to Caliba for five years. Eventually, the siege was successful, and the city was burned, but not until major casualties was suffered by both sides.
Meanwhile a vicious assault was launched against the Fayids from their north. They hold out for quite sometime but the sheer weight of the Hittie assault is enough to send the Fayids reeling back to their capital where the final surrender. The whole of their empire is absorbed but the Hitties loss many.
The Hitties make great expansions in all directions and conquer a great deal of Anatolia. Hattie Chariots now rule the Anatolian Plateau. Relations with The Byzantium are poor, Spearman are massed along the borders, ready for anything after their short lived alliance. Another war is brewing, so the Byzantines get ready to work on their defenses in Byzantium.
However, it is not all gloom in Asia Minor. The Hitties have restored the Fayid capital to its former glory, and some Hitties have taken Padic beliefs. The Byzantines have made a very small fishing town into a huge trading city called Adrinople, and many have prospered in the region.

The Middle East
The Holy Padic Empire continues to flex her muscles. Trade with India, Persia, Egypt and the Fayids make Baghdad the wealthiest city in the world. The Sahibib, a massive temple to Padia is built in the city, courtesy of Egyptian Gold, Indian Ivory, and Arabian slave labor.
However, relations with Persia sour when a Padic revolt in Persia fails. The Persians start persecuting Padics, and many Padics now call for Beshen or holy war, with Persia. With the seizing of Persian territory in Arabia though, the Persians may take the fight to them.
(+ 2 Padic Culture/ - 1 Eco for HPE next turn/ - 1 Persian confidence level)
Egypt however, is at an all time low. With masses of People converting to Padicism, and some coming to important positions, some have taken leaves out of their books and questioned the godliness of the Pharaoh. With riches of Pirates flowing to nothing, and Athens and Byzantium controlling East Mediterranean Trade Routes, Egypt is ready to fall.
(-1 Egyptian Confidence level)
East Asia
In China, the Huang have proved their military skills, and attacked Xebi Xian. Seeing Xian’s weakness, the TsingTao have sent pirates to raid their coasts, and even captured some territory. While the Xian fought hard, it was for little good, and they are pushed back to their capital. It seems the Xian family may be destroyed unless the TsingTao have a change of heart.
(- 1 Xian Urban Economy/ - Xian Dirt Roads/ + (1/2) Dirt Tracks, Huang/ + 1 ep due to Piracy for TsingTao/ -250 TsingTao Axemen/ -300 Huang Spearmen/ -100 Huang Horse Archers/ -500 Xian Spearmen)
South, the Awakr Dynasty arises to challenge the Minh. While it has a very strong culture, and even have their own religion, they lack in strength compared to their Minh neighbors. The Minh tried to subjugate them, but skilled jungle fighting has prevented this…for now.
(-300 Minh Spearmen/ -100 Awakr Spearmen/ + 1 Cultural Level for Awakr)
Kagubanlanta continues to have great harvests, and are the most well fed people in the world, save for maybe in Athens. They found much territory for growing among the other islands, and have conquered the Philippines, save for two islands conquered by Minh.
(-100 Archers/ + Agriculture Economy/ + Confidence level)
In India, Mojerno Dojero continue their expansion. On the Island of Sri Lanka, a civilization known as Simhala has taken over the island as well as the tip of the subcontinent. However, this expansion has led to conflict with the near by Padic colony, who despise each others gods: The Padics believing in one, the Simhalans 365.
(+Simhala/ - 100 Simhalan Spearmen/ - 30 Padic Spearmen)
Africa
Carthage has become undisputed masters of the West (and contenders for all) Mediterranean. They have territory in Iberia, Sicily, even in Italy! But, these gains have prices, and Maltan Pirates haven taken a toll upon them.
(+2 Trade, but -1 because of Pirates/ -10 Galleys)
The Janjaweed have competition on Lake Victoria: The Uganda, a group of Nomads and Janjaweed Outcasts, have founded a rival nation on the other side of the lake. Peace is here, but for how long
(+ Uganda)
Greece
Minoa is in full fledged rebellion! After seeing Athens’s Democracy and now even Sparta has a senate, the people of Minoa are through. Even soldiers have helped the Rebels, and all that stands between success for the Rebels is the Capital under siege.

(+ 1 Confidence/ +1 Culture / + 2 trade wealth)
Europe
The Roman’s experience an explosion in military power as they expand to the North and South, conquering nearly all of the peninsula. Attempts to construct a new city prove successful in the East but if it ever hopes to prosper more time and money must be invested.
The Romans nearly enter into conflict with the Celts, but the Celts, whom were busy expanding elsewhere decided it best to ignore the Romans for the time being. Could this prove to be a fatal mistake?
(+ The Roman City Capua / - 150 Roman Spearmen / -20 Roman Horsemen)
Malta, having lost almost all of her trade, has resorted to Piracy. This has gotten her even more money then trade has, and they can hurt their rival Carthage
(+ 2 Raiding Eco for Malta)
