Annunaki surveyed Sumeria. His people had emerged from the Age of Blood. They might have lost some land to Egypt and Russia, but it was a reasonable price to pay for peace. With Harappa’s peace, Sumeria had survived the onslaught of every neighbor attacking them. A week of festivities was scheduled. There was even a sketch of the loss at Susa.
There was one man who survived Susa without retreating, the commander who took East Arabia. His name was Gilgamesh. He had survived, albeit in a sea of his own corpses. After, Gilgamesh had led nine vultures into battle and won, despite having half of the remaining army die of the plague.
All of the commanders and the Royal Staff had a party. The few Vultures that did not have the plague also arrived at the party. There were many games at the party and a large amount of alcohol. You can’t have a party without alcohol! Ningirsu was there, and he was the one who could drink the most. In fact, he had thrown up right on his Persian cat! Persian cats were considered extremely royal and wonderful. One of his servants left and struggled at giving the cat a bath, scrubbing off Ningirsu’s puke. He had emerged a bloody mess of scratches and bites. Annunaki’s cat remained unscathed. Persian cats were known as extremely cute and the symbol of Sumeria, but ability to defend itself. They would’ve ceded Elam and Persia to Harappa if that was not the place where they got their cats.
When Annunaki had to puke, he had found a hole in his latrine. After he had let out his puke from being slightly tipsy, it felt like a relief. A few minutes later, someone found his puke coming out of another hole. This woman, Nanna, turned out to be Ningirsu’s wife. They put their heads together and found that the hole that Annunaki had puked in and that hole that she had dug were connected somehow. So she got a round hollowed-out log to prove it. She poured some water into the log and voila! It came out the other side. Possibly, with more durable non-rusting materials, they could use this to deposit their waste instead of latrines and outhouses.

Con von Head XXV, chuckled. "So general, those Romans, you are telling me tried some sort of ploy and ended up getting all killed." Yes Sir, the general replied, trying not to crack up.
"Hahahaha," Con von head slammed his fist on his table, spilling his beer. He was crying because of the hilarity.
"So you are telling me that these Romans dressed up as pigs and tried to sneak behind our lines and we slaughtered them." As tears ran down Con von head's cheeks.
"We not quite exactly like that, sir" The general replied.
"Well the Romans disguised as pigs makes a better story than their that the planned ploy did not work." "Put it down in the history book, 'Romans disguised as pigs slaughtered like pigs'. We are the victories, we write the history"
"Very well sir", the General left the throne room.
Con von head went back to cracking up. "Silly Romans, trix are for kids."

Sorry, I wasn't listening...
Sure you are
.Unlike actual Spartans, the Vultures have used rather large numbers to their advantage. Plus, they only cost one jack. REALLY good units cost 2 jack or more. That's why every Spartan army should cost 100 jack

This is exactly why I am incredulous that the Vultures beat the 3 elephants, since that's the equivalent of 12 armies right there. But, dice are dice. I expect if the war had gone on then Harappa would have done some serious damage to Sumer and regained the lost land.Sure you are

PROTIP: Carthage should annex the remainder of Rome, conquer Britain, and sue for peace.

Carthage: A History
Installment 2
Installment 2
When the Romans pleaded to Carthage to help them with their overwhelming problem with Germania, the Carthaginians reluctantly agreed. It was believed that the rest of Sicily and Sardinia, as well as present day Ireland were what finally peaked their interest. With that, Carthage left the Mediterranean to combat the Germans in the north. Their first stop was Ireland, originally named Greenland due to it's incredibly green landscape by Carthaginian sailors, which was easily taken. The great Mediterranean fleet then proceeded to decimate the Germanic fleet, and raid the coasts (which carried on for the remainder of the war). However, Carthage took a devastating blow when the Germans released their terrible secret, disease. This plague destroyed not just a majority of the military, but Carthage's slaves, thus crippling their economy. The Germans had penetrated the Alps by the time Carthage came to, and Carthage's invasion of present day Holland didn't stop the Germans from taking the entire Italian Peninsula. From that point Carthage knew they never should have helped the Romans, who tricked them into an alliance.
The Plague, carried by Carthaginian sailors back to the homeland, decimated Carthage. Rome, also affected, agreed with Carthage to send scientists to Carthage to discuss a possible remedy, which is believed to have not worked. The leadership of Carthage had all infected persons shipped to Ireland so the homeland would be free of the disease, but that failed too. In a last ditch effort, the Carthaginians and Romans agreed to send the Plague to all their neighbors, so they would not be exploited during their time of weakness (which didn't stop Germania from taking Rome). This was considered to be the first use of biological warfare in recorded history.
Carthage, then embroiled in a war caused by Romans, now faced with a closing route in which to expand further into Africa, tried desperately to squeeze themselves between the Egyptians and Benerians and aimed for the Indian Ocean as a final destination. However, as the other kingdoms kept expanding, Carthage's reach began to disintegrate, making the lower Nile the only reasonable endpoint. From that point, should Carthage want to expand, it would need to look at other options beyond Africa.

Invasion of the Kingdom of Han China
Excerpt from a Spearhead Battalion Captain Suntzu Journal
Today our battalion marched into the nation that made peace but failed to keep it in the angering of the T-wat empire. Our elite battalion fought a few battles these weeks. Mostly with the supply lines guards.[...] Here we are, thousand li from home. My helmet is stained. I had picked up a Iron Plate to use instead of my chipped bronze. [...]This is the 2th month of the raid and we will head north to meet up with the Gojoseons within a month. However, today we fight a battle with the Legion itself.
My battalion is a thousand strong. However we met the Legion in battle with Gojoseon Dragoons and lesser forces. In order to turn the tide we charged our horses into the back, disrupting the command and retreated as they pulled out their bows and spears. I can feel the disapointment of our men as our calvary spears and arrows bounced off the armour and a few grunts as a few struck the face. However, a dozen of those Yakbowmen are here and their charge was amazing. Their bolts shattered the iron plate and as they retreated they used a lever to reload a fired another volley. I shall inquire an increase of these men.
(UU:Yakbowmen- Anti-Heavy infrantrymen with a crossboy and a strong Yakhorn pull and a reloadbar. Takes 20 seconds to reload in battle but power is devastation in ranks and uselessness of enemy armour. Good in big battles but poor in skirmishes even with the cock)Basically anti-heavy infrantrymen with Yakhorn Crossboy. With slighty faster reload they cause uselessness in enemy armour but do poor in all but smallest skirmishes or medium sized (more than 3 divisions) to large battles.

Well, peace had finally been made with Sumer. Although Harappa propaganda had made it see as though Harappa had made great gains during the war, nothing really changed. Sure, tons of people had died. But people were born into the world every day. Things were getting boring for the people of Harappa. Even the Secret Council of Shadowy Plotting had been rather bored. However, the SCSP was about to do something about that.
They came up with a little activity known as XTREME GLADITORIAL KOMBAT!
The rules were simple; throw two hulking men armed to the teeth and then tell them to fight each other. The winner will receive a prize such as an insane amount of gold. The loser would die, seeing as how the only way to win is to kill your opponent. This provided immense entertainment for the citizens of Harappa as they watched their favorite war heroes face savages captured in raids on barbarian settlements.
Sadly, the amount of combatants started to dwindle down as the Council introduced the Quadruple Flaming Elephant Stampede Deathmatch. Soon only the most battle-hardened warriors would even dare step into the arena. But as always the Council began plotting out an evil plan.
All right my fellow councilors, it is apparent that we need more fighters to keep the masses entertained. A voice proclaimed in the pitch black room.
Perhaps we can force citizens to fight in the arena! one man suggested.
No. No. No. Normal citizens arent capable of fighting in those arenas. We need people who can put up a fight and put on a show.
How about another war? A voice quietly suggested.
There was an awkward silence in the chamber. After a short cough, the voice continued.
With war prisoners we can bring able bodied men into the arena. These prisoners will provide a dependable source of entertainment. Offering freedom to them will provide plenty of reasons to kill each other in the fights.
But who shall we attack? Sumer again?
Not Sumer. That would just result in wasted time. While Vultures would make excellent gladiators theyd also take forever to take alive. And we all know how costly the last war was. We dont want to do that again.
How about Egypt?
To far away.
Why dont we look to the east?
Huh?
The east. You know? The direction we never really look.
That sounds crazy enough to work! To the east Harappa will go for glory, riches, and entertainment!
And so trumpets blared as the elephants of Harappa stomped once again, marching to the beat of war drums. But what would Harappa find in the east? Will this decision come to bite Harappa in the rear end? (Most likely)
