Click to expand...

if 3 new members are reached, i will add something in for the initial empires who joined when DominatrNES was just a baby, many months ago. A little more incentive...

If thanksgiving is going to be hectic for you, i recommend sending orders today.

To: Gada Kot
From: Baru
Considering your traditions, we would like to trade with you.

To: Onih, Mimmo
From: Baru
We request trade with you. We do not want war like with Jiji, only peace.

To: Baru
From: Gada Kot

Yes, we heard of your great fishermen. We do not have as much access to the coast as you, but we can trade some stone to you. Let us commence trading.

To: Baru
From: Onih

Good. Many Jiji fled to our small islands to take refuge, but we take your word.

Reminder that orders are due tomorrow! Please send them.

In the 90 years since Kodinani last attempted to expand and was blocked by the Feraldas the religion had begun to evolve and had created a new tradition that unknowingly solved the problems that the restrictions had brought upon them.

It began when Jono'ke, a Mbaragam born convert to Kodinani began to preach his faith to the conquered Igiruli. While attempting to make them see the true faith that was Kodinani he looked for a way to make them understand that the gods that they had been praying to were simply manifestations of Ani-Chukwu. Then one day he was struck with inspiration as he saw one of their customs of singing praises to their gods.

He entered a new city and began to sing loudly of prayers to both Ani-Chukwu and the gods of the Igiruli. Jono'ke was singularly possessed with a very compelling voice and the Igiruli began to take interest in how he sung praises to both pantheons of gods. He then explained how their gods were one and the same as Ani-Chukwu and if singing their prayers helped them stave off famine and ensure their health before then they shouldn't stop even if they believed in Ani-Chukwu. As the Igiruli became more integrated in the Amu Darian culture their songs spread and became part of Kodinani, now called hymns and widely sung during prayer.

Now the merchants that traveled down the river to trade with the other nations rough their hymns with them. And since the hymns were prayer and could not be restricted by the anti-missionary regulations the merchants would sing loudly when together for prayer. Within the hymns were prayers to Ani-Chukwu and his many manifestations as well as the hymns that recited Kodinani principles and scripture. Suddenly the merchants and missionaries were allowed a way to teach their religion to others that wasn't restricted by laws, and the curious people began to approach them to hear more of their hymns and eventually began to sing the hymns with them. With every new convert the songs grew louder and more began to hear the hymns that recited the Kodinani way and those that were curious began to learn more and eventually converted. Meanwhile there was nothing the rulers could do without kicking the merchants out of their cities and thus close all access to the goods of the foreigners.

Just saying for any future RP posts about Phoces:

Religion is in no way regulated, and government is kept separate from religion. So why people would convert I could see, but not why they would go over to a new nation. Just sayin, for all you "religious conquerers."

Don't worry, It's my policy to stay away from people that have over 10 military points than my nation.

Only ones who are squared away on orders are:

Alexaendros (Samsniped)
Phoces (Tambien)
Amu Daria (Patchy)
Baru (MaxaTheGreat)

Everyone else, get working, i don't want to have to rush the update or push it back!

For those who have not heard yet, Dominatr got bored with this NES so he started up a new one on an earth like-map. It runs on pretty much the same mechanics but starts in the bronze age and techs up faster, you also have 200 nations to choose from.

Hello everyone that is subscribed to this thread and player my NES in the past, I will be running a similar NES in the near future (a few weeks from now) and i just wanted to invite you to keep an eye out for the thread.

It will be a cradle fresh start and only a few bits of the map will be revealed at the beginning. It will have a similar stat system as my last 2 NESes. Hope to see you there and feel free to post or PM me questions, even though it is early in development.

Awesome

Oh and the idea for this NES will be to create original civilizations

In my previous NESes it was pretty obvious to what existing culture group the empires belonged to.
For example Alexaendros was obviously Greek-esque and Gilguron was clearly a mock Babylon.
I want to avoid that type of thing this time and have something really unique, so get your creative gears turning!
