ASNES- My Return to Our Roots

I refuse to do silly pics until I can get my picture-editing software (on my computer--this is a public computer I'm using, and it only has MS Paint) and actually work on a pic rather than shamelessly stealing pics from the net without explicitly crediting their owners/makers/whatever (props to you Charles Li, for trying).



... Actually, on second thought, I'm happy with MS Paint:

No worries mate, I think I speak for most people here when I say 'We have complete confidence in you'

On another note I just joined another dip game at redscape....... Remember the game we played there Amon, and how that lead to me introducing you to here!!!! Probably one of the better things I have done on these forums.
 
I do remember that.

Update tonight for sure.
 
OOC: Hope Crezth doesn't mind me taking a page from his book quite literally.


Excerpt from Johann Pulitzer's A History of the Ancient World, a eighth grade history textbook:

Roman History of the World:​

Emerging from the cloak of the hunter gatherer society, the Roman civilization, believed to be founded around 3,010 B.C, can be considered one of the first civilizations to arise on Earth. Founding their namesake on the tops of seven hills, the Romans lived in relative peace, for many years. However, one may find this odd, considering that the Romans expanded vigorously, extending their control to nearly the whole of the Italian peninsula, except for Sicily and the Alps.

While expanding, roman society remained largely unchanged except for the advent of the spear. First spears ever used, it was said in roman legend that their god Zeus, king of all gods, grow ever more tired of stag and olives, the main diet of Romans. Stepping down from his almighty throne, a top Mount Vesuvius, Zeus through a spear of lightning into the water. Plucking it from the water, he gingerly ate the gigantic fish twitching on the spear’s end and liked it so much that he went for more. Therefore, the main staple of Rome has always seemed to be fish, but more importantly, Rome seems to have to gone through an economic boom because of the advent of the spear. Fish was a relatively unheard of back in ancient times, and soon the Roman fish was the only fish eaten in the Mediterranean, there’s even evidence that the Russians ate Roman fish.

But to get away from such “fishy” topics, Rome was a stable power throughout most of it’s early life span, meeting only resistance to it aggressive expansion in France, where heavy roman military presence for a estimated 500 years brought the roman named ”French Barbarians” under control. This success also continued at home, quickly becoming a leading economic power in the Mediterranean, only behind Egypt economically at it height. The Romans also made an alliance with the merchant peoples to the south, Carthage. The creation of this alliance may be considered the beginning of Rome’s Zenith. Although it was to be brief, for long and devastating war was quickly on the horizon.

The Great War:​


It has been said by the Romans that the war against Germanica was caused by their unlawful but peaceful taking of their land that they rightfully won by the blood of their forefather. Conversely, the Germans say that the Roman are rats who act like rats and were rats when they invaded Germanica. But whatever the cause, the most deadly war ever at that time had started. At that time Germanica and Rome were equal in both military and economically, but the Rome had surprise and strategic advantage, with the Germans attention elsewhere, in a short lived war with Russia.

After initial attacks which almost lead to the complete roman occupation of all German land up to the Rhine and the Danube. But it was not be for the Romans when the German veterans from the Russian front and their special unit the Teutons come to the Roman, front, attrition gradually wore out the Romans, and the war turned from good to bad to worst. Even through great victories later in the war still keep morale high, especially the battle at Modena, named after the small village nearby, at which 40,000 Germans were slaughtered at the price of 10,000 Romans through an effective outmaneuvering and envelope of the German by the Romans.

Unfortunately, the Roman general that commanded the Roman armies at the battle of Modena, Scipio Italius, was killed personally leading a massed infantry charge from behind the German lines. This is unanimously picked by modern historians as the doom of the Roman Empire. The following hundred years may simply be considered mopping up a roman mess by the Germans, even when Carthage changed from naval attacks on the Germans to an outright invasion of the German heartland. especially when the idiotic roman general Lucius Aemilius Paullus led the entire remaining roman armies in a exact same maneuver as at Modena hoping to turn the war around, but the end result was disastrous, and effectively ended the war with the Germans taking Rome with little resistance.

There have been many theories as to why the Romans lost the Great War, maybe it was the smaller population of Rome, leading to Recruitment problem, as a total of 160,000 Romans who died killing 140,000 Germans. Or maybe it was because precise roman resources were diverted towards the creation of the crown jewel of Rome, Zeus’ Temple, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, being huge by ancient standards and taking an estimated 400 wartime years to build. Of maybe it was because Rome’s prized soldiers, the legionaries, were no match against the heavily armored German Teutons. But whatever the reason, Rome was left a tiny shadow of its self, just (hopefully) retaining Rome and the surrounding lands and the few island possessions it had. Rome future was not in control of its own hands, but the angry superpower to its north and its bitter ally to the south.
 
Good too see support for my Idea.

Mah idea: 1 Army = 10,000 People. As of UU, it includes support (no 10,000 Elephants). Armies usually divided into 1000 Battalions (in Capi'Latsu).

great Story! Go Go Culture!

Also, will there be cultureal assimilation? I.E. Oman (7) Conqueres Yemen (5) and gains 3 culture from a story about the assimilation of Yemen cultural history?
 
the inuit people have been a nomadic peoples but are now ready to settle the north. A challenge was made thoughout the lands for a king. This king would have complete contol of the land, only the strongest could be leader. Fist only battles to the death or surrenerence. In the end Edward Schwachenburger became king. The king promises national defense and future scientific discoverys. establishing identity and laws are first on his list of things to do and his dream of becoming a super power in the world must be obtained at any cost even war with the yakamens.
 
Not at all, Matt. In fact it is rather heartening to see that Johann Pulitzer provides coverage in other categories than Russian history.
 
Here's the latest update of MRTOR - The Movie?!
Updated to 700AE.
From now I'm gonna update this every 5 turns or so.
Somehow when I upload to Megavideo the graphics and sound aren't synchronous anymore. That's why the music continues while the graphics have ended. I have no explanation for this :confused:
Does anyone know of a better/another video upload site (not YouTube)?
 
Jolly good Arian! As ever top notch.
 
Our messengers are apparently drunk and have not sent a message of a briefing to us. Ah well, PARTY HARD.

Dear An, we request that the briefing come sooner.

Mental Invasion

Jol'Yujar steeled himself. He knew about mental invasion and prepared himself.

Xilmonyag's mind was great and his defense was quicky pushed back to the final area. As he tried to concentrate he can sense Xilmonyag's mind jump, creating a hole for himself to attack...

In the land of the Gods Amon Stabed Xilmonyag "Crit Hit" said the dice. "Darn!" said Xilmonyag as he felt puny-human-strong Jol'Yujar fight back. He thought he can quickly dominate him but he just realized he failed. Fighting back Amon he tried to invade Jol'Yujar's closest servents...

Suddenly the servent closet opened and a man with a dagger stepped foward and tried to stab the laying Jol'Yujar. He pulled out a short sword and started to duel his former servent, know a mind slave of Xilmonyag. As he slew the man he raced the retreating mind to see the battle...

Xilmonyag scowled, he blocked a attack and dodged. But Amon was relentless. "You cowardly hag! You loser!"

"I have a deal!" Orated Xilmonyag in his best voice coated with honey. Amon smacked his lips. "You will be the god of them, of luck. But I will be the personal god of their kings and Fate."

That is a good deal.
 
Thats ok Amon. I think I speak for everyone when I say that we trust that you will update. We believe in you Amon. WE BELIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE IN YOU!!!!
 
Update started
 
Ok guys, here's the deal. I've been extremely busy the last week or so because I've been in between jobs and looking hard to get a new one. Not only that, my brother's coming back from iraq real soon, so I've just been extremely distracted, and will be for the next couple of weeks. After talking with some, I've been debating on whether or not to flat-out kill the NES, or put it on hold 'till my brother goes back to iraq. I've decided to put the NES on hold, because I love this NES too much to allow it to go under. I'll be doing this update off and on 'till it's done over the next couple of days, and post it, and then we can expect no update 'till my brother goes back to Iraq. I do propologise for these circumstances, but it's the best I can do at the moment. If only real life was just NESing.
