you better post that story *shakes fist*
-Religous Events-
-Secular Events-
Iroyian Empire Advances! With a new interest in technology, Iroyian alchemists have developed a new design of Iron Galleys as well as new Seafaring techniques which have left the Iroyians as masters of the waves. 5 new caravels have entered into Iroyian service under the new admiral, Christium Colombi, a Roman immigrant.
Mercenary army continues rampage! Using new arbueques and bombards, the Russian mercenary army has crushed the Mongol advance cavalry and has held their progress northward to a standstill.
Mongol Casualties: 450 Heavy Cavalry
Mercenary Casualties: 350 Crossbowmen
New Emporer proclaimed in Rome! The new Emporer has pledged to be the "medicine to the disease of Rome." Reports on how late Emporer Amon was disposed are sketchy.
Battle of Palermo! Roman forces marching to the relief of the besieged city met in open battle with the Numidian troops.Though their landings on the east coast of Sicily were contested, they were only slightly battered by the local Iron Galley, which was ultimately sunk by superior numbers. As the battle raged, the Romans started with a surprise attack using catapults which decimated the Numidians' catapults. Following which, the Romans advanced in a "turtle formation" which nulled the use of the Numidian crossbows. Once among the crossbowmen's ranks, the Romans wrecked the lightly defended forces, creating a rout. However, the tide turned once more as the Numidian cavalry rode to the rescue. Over 1000 brave cavalrymen charged into the Roman lines, killing many. Upon breaking the legionaries' ranks, the cavalry pressed forward, to run into the waiting crossbows of the Roman army. The arrows of the Romans devastated the cavalry, leading to the victory of Roman arms. The arrival of 1000 legionaries from the city itself, along with civilian conscripts only made sure that not a single Numidian would leave the shores of Sicily.
Roman Casualties: 10 Catapults, 4,300 Legionaries, 130 Heavy Cavalry, 900 Crossbowmen, 8 Galleys
Numidian Casualties: 1 Iron Galley, 4,100 Crossbowmen, 1,500 Heavy Cavalry, 25 Catapults
Islands surrender to Numidian navy! The islands of Sardinia and Crete have both surrendered to superior Numidian forces, resulting in a small loss of trade, though it is evened out by the liberation of Sicily.
Taking a leaf out of the Roman and Numidian books, the Germans have inflicted numerous and devastating defeats upon the Poles, marching on Krakow and forcing the recognition of their nation by Poland.
German Casualties: 900 Swordsmen, 100 Men-At-Arms, 200 Crossbowmen, 20 Heavy Cavalry
Polish Casualties: 750 Men-At-Arms, 200 Crossbowmen
Due to the great defeat at Krakow, the Poles have been forced to withdraw their troops from Russia, ending the Polish section of the siege, and stretching the French forces near to a breaking point around Kiev. This has also cut the rail lines between the French army and France proper and the army is beginning to starve as the land grows bare. Access is needed through Rome and Mongolia if disaster is to be averted.
Finland becomes a Consitutional Monarchy! Despite resistence from the royal family, the Finns have mimiced the Kelts and have given more rights to the upper class and slightly more rights to the lower class. With the new government, the invention of handguns has arrived in Finland. Also, an increasing amount of people have begun converting to Protestant beliefs with influence from both Russia and the Iroyian Empire. Rumblings from steadfast Catholics threaten civil war.
Handguns in Egypt! This most ancient land has invented its own style of arbueques, leveling the playing field with other nations.
Technology! The Kelts and French have traded techs to the point, that now both are capable of gunpowder artillery and iron galleys. Continuing their advancement from gunpowder artillery, the Kelts have developed advanced cannons, giving them a distinct advantage on the battle field. Following this, the Kelts also developed new advanced infantry tactics. Surely the Keltic soldier is the master of the battlefield.
Steam Tanks invented! These lumbering benemoths, are the new cavalry. Equiped with 2 cannon, the Steam Tank moves as fast as a train without the confines of rail lines. They are VERY expensive to build, and have to be built by the master artisans. whether this proves prohibitive or not remains to be seen. This Persian invention has been distributed to both Mongolia and Keltika. A single prototype exists within the Persian Republic.
Stalemate along Jerusalem-Persian border. Niether side has taken an offensive move after the Jersusalem siezure of Cyprus.
Catalan city falls to Portugal! Thanks to a lack of resistence by the Catalans, this great Iberian city has fallen to the Portuguese army. Calls of distress have been sent from the Catalans to the other nations of the world.
Russians break siege of Kiev! The French, stretched by the Polish withdrawal, were easily overwhelmed by the concentrated Russian forces. The City is once more under supply by the Russian railroads. The French, starving and desolate, had no will left in them to fight, and withdrew, and are now regrouping to the south and west of the city.
