ASNES- My Return to Our Roots

[D'Artagnan59]

The Sumerians were a proud nation, settling along the space between the Tigris and the Euphrates. The river view was beautiful, the fields flowed with wheat, and the floods filled the plants with fertile soil.

Most farmed in this nation. Others were soldiers. The priests were extremely important in this society, being the top class in Sumerian society. Then, there were the merchants and soldiers. Then, there were the farmers.

The Sumerians had conquered the hunter-gatherers along most of the Euphrates and Tigris, only leaving the areas near the source for the uncivilized. They practiced an organized religion. They built ziggurats in their cities, and their people were very happy in Sumeria.

spend my 1 economy creating the explorer, that can move and colonize faster and can travel through forests, jungles, mountains, hills, and swamps faster than other units

use that explorer to colonize fast pace into florida.

 

[Ace of Gold]

As Louisiana's borders grew, it was obvious that King Churchille would have to assert some military control over the tribes that border Louisiana. The highly organized soldiers of Louisiana quickly killed off any native tribes and that is how the borders of Louisiana grew so fast. Some say because of this Aggressiveness, is how the Louisiana military got to be the best in the world. And it is with this trait that Louisiana will grow to be the most dominant empire the world has ever seen

Orders for Yahkma:

Economic: Build a fleet to help spread the joys of Galavania far and wide! (as nice as better troops are, getting to more people are more important for the Yahkman's Begin construction of *Maashi Pechute*. This is the central point of Yahkman society where the Stonemasons gather to discuss ideas, and the king resides. This central place allows for free spread of ideas and *[2 science per jack]*. Set all new slaves for building the houses and statues and gardens needed for such an important place!

Military: Continue to expand, slaving all the way! Use boats to help get to farther away places. Plunder and pillage and take slaves, land is not important. Expand little, as all resources coming in are put towards growth.

Military Orders

Fleets and Armies will provide support for colonization.

Domestic Orders

The current Pharaoh is Narmer.

National unity will be reinforced by combining the crowns of Upper and Lower Egypt, into the iconic double crown. It's like the Pope hat, which means it is 2/5 Awesome, 1/3 Bling, and 1/2 Pimp. I am an Awesomely Bling Pimp.

Oh, did you know that the Pharaoh is a living god? He is. It's great for breaking the ice at parties.

Also, we'll kill the stupid part of Egyptian mythology that says you have to be buried in Egypt to go to heaven. Or whatever. Kill it by whacking it with my Pope hat. Now I can colonize and conquer . .. .. .. ..

Then we get to the boring stuff, which is to divide Egypt into a series of Nomes, which are administrative districts along the Nile. Nomes are ruled by Nomarchs, which ideally are appointed by the Pharaoh, but frequently they are hereditary. There are approximately 42 Nomarchs, based on the borders of pre-unification independent states.

International Orders

Colonization of the eastern mediterranean is to begin, taking advantage of Egypt's population to establish settlements in Cyprus, Crete, southern Anatolia, Greece, the Levant, and North Africa.

Political control over these colonies is not necessary, so the only limitation should be population (which we have a lot of). The purpose is to spread Egyptian culture, and establish trading partners. This is the first step in my genius plan, which is to make . .. .. .. . up as I go.

Once these colonies are established, trade routes will be formed with them. Bring in the bling for my Pope Hat.

Deep in the forests of northern Europe, the tribes of Germanica lived and fought. Bloody was the history of Germanica, tribal wars were the usual under one man, Con von Head unified the Germanic tribes under one banner. Under his watch, Germanica expand, encompassing most of the land that historians would come to call 'Germany', but Con von Head thirst for more, he wanted Germanic domination of the whole world. Ordering his soldiers, he sharpened his swords and set out to create the greatest empire known to man.

1 jack into Army growth.

Use 1 army to take over denmark peninsula

Use 1 army and 1 navy to colonize southern sweden.

Use 1 army to expand into the netherlands area.

 

[Amon Savag]

Glad to see there's plenty of interest. Keep on with the stories and orders.

 

[Icekommander]

Maashi Pechute

Maashi Pechute. Place of Philosopy. This sacred place was where the Yahkma Philsophers and Enigneers met to discuss their ideas. But first it had to be constructed. The first requirement was labour. THe Tahkman army went far and wide enslaving as they went. Slaves came pouring into the quarries where they worked digging out stone blocks to be used as houses and monuments.

Soon the local tribes were depleted. So the Yahkmans built ships which they sent off to new lands. The Yahkman's would return laden with slaves and loot. As more slaves poured in two things happened. The first was a population boom. Many slaves poured into Yahkma. Then the Yahkman encouraged the slaves (and anyone else in the empire for that matter) to breed voraciously.

Huge amounts of people were born and the borders swelled. Due to the population boom, that kept the same pace for many years a new class was born. These workmen became the armies cannonfodder, the farmers harvesters and stone pickers, and the Stone Masons quarrymen and carpenters.

Between the loot and the new workers, the economy swelled. The new people meant that large demands were made for food and shelter, as well as less mudane things. Many of the women learned to weave cloth for clothes. The army sent detachments out hunting for additional foods as well as hides for tents and blankets.

And in the middle of it all was Maashi Pechute. The town fueled it and was proppeled by it. The new people were all put to work, largely on this town. The stone was mined and the buildings built. The only question was time. Due to this new swell it became more extavagent than origionally planned, but ostly it was being completed way ahead of schedual. And when it finished it was a marvel.

I know I chose Dark green first but, in looking at the map, I realize I'm near Germany which is light green and that might clash unbeautifully. SO, to be nice to Tyrion, and to make the map a bit more pleasant looking, I'd like to change my (Russia's) color to Maroon. To those who might worry on the color being too similar to that Incan country's, my idea is that it's lighter than that color and darker than the bright red country in Asia. Middling, if you will.

I will edit my previous post to correspond.

I know it hasn't been 24 hours, so for those who didn't send orders (Only skeptikalz! and MooseWarrior) I went ahead and expanded their borders and economy for them. Don't procrastinate on orders! This takes me all of 20 minutes to update, and I want to get this moving as fast as I can! Don't worry, I won't be updating twice a day every day, unless I have everyone's orders everyday twice a day.

Arab Empire-Expands vigorously.
Aztexas-Expands borders and economy vigorously.
Capi'Latsu-Expands borders and economy vigorously.
Egypt-Expands over the eastern mediteranean.Hittites spotted inland on asian minor. Could be risky to expand further there. Rumors of barbarians in carthage also prevents expeditions there.
Germanica-Expands aggressively, crushing all resistance. High concentration of barbarians in sweden.
Gojoseon-Enters the world north of the korean peninsula.
Harrapa-Enters bronze age, and expands.
Louisianna-Makes explorers and conquer native lands.
Minneston-Expands economy and borders vigorously.
Rome-Expands westward. Looks like a high concentration of barbarians further to their west.
Russia-Joins us from the moscow region.
Sumeria-Expands north and west. Meets hittite barbarians to their west.
Te-Reo-Joins us from New Zealand.
Yahkma-Expands and starts wonder that will take a long time to complete.... The ruler thinks his country's name is "Galavania"... Check his orders for details

UPDATE IN 12 HOURS!

Stories and orders...

Don't spend money on wonders! It won't get you anywhere.

If you invest a whole turn's worth of jack into your economy, it may raise and it may not. To help with the raise, you may give me reasons why your investment would, in fact, increase your economy.
