UPDATE III 600 BC
War in the East
The Phoenician King when he met with the emissaries of Egypt and Hittites separately was on the verge of despair since he thought that Egypt and the Hittites would both attack his Kingdom at the same time. Instead, they both wanted a ROP through Phoenicia to go beyond. As it was, the Phoenician King got a plan, he would let them both get a ROP, then have their armies destroy each other in Phoenicia. As it was, that happened, and the survivors were captured by the Phoenicians and sold as slaves. Egypt and the Hittites now have contact, and are at war since they thought that the other side took their soldiers as slaves.
Northumberland No More
Invaders from the north have caused the collapse of Northumberland as well as several key revolts against the King for his so called work for the English Gauls. The trade route between England and Northumberland was immediately void once the Picts conquered Murcia. These Picts are under the belief of 1 ruler, or a monarchy. The English People demands their King to attack the Picts immediately! Aside from this, the English Nation is prospering due to their extensive trade with France, only 1 nation in Europe can now rival the English Traders
. England, with their expansion along the European coastline, has met the fabled raiders of the past. However, wat they expected was not wat they saw. In the fields of Denmark, farmers farmed the land peacefully. It seems to be a rich nation which has no need to go pillaging for money. This leads to more questions from the English: Where did those raiders come from?
Sicily!
After a historic agreement with the Roman Nation, the Sicilian Nation went on a trading spree. With their valuable sugar, they have gained rare metals from Milan, Ivory from Carthage, and even silks from Phoenicia. This is easily a nation on the rise
.
France
Although none really cared about the French before, now maybe the should. They have united nations with Orleans after a marriage between the headsmens son and daughter. France is now a power to be reckoned with on the continent even though only 1 nation has contact with it.
Greece
Some Greek colonists without orders or support from the King has landed and settled in Troy. They have absolutely no clues to what happened to the great Kingdom of Troy. However, they have met the Phoenicians and Hittites. Life goes the same in Greece as it has been for the last 200 years
.
And now
.drumroll
.Roman-Etrurian War!
The Roman Army, reorganized under new leadership has brought the war back to Etruria in a brilliant strategy. The Roman Army advanced north to engage the larger Etrurian Army, the Roman Generals forced the Etrurian Army down hill and with volleys of arrows the weakened and dispirited Etrurians fled the battle, marking the first Roman Victory. The Roman and Etrurian Armies are now equal in size. However, the blockade of Venice failed miserably on the facts that the Etrurians had no naval traffic. The Etrurians did not like fish. 2 Roman army levels, -5 Etrurian Army Levels[/B]
The Dragon rears its head
The Sianese Empire under its new Emperor has expanded in all direction but south due to a prophet predicting that murderous hordes of horsemen lies south of them. A stranger note however, is that a city on a hill surrounded by walls would be burned by people from the seas. This has absolutely no meaning to the Sianese, but its interesting.
Iberia, Divide Et Imperia
The Leonese Kingdom has entered contact with the Hispanians. These Leonese seems to be master sailors and their people and cities wealthier and more beautiful then even Hispanias. Hispania has begun a trade of Cedar to Valencia for Wood. Many protests this dumb deal since Cedar is worth MUCH more then Wood. However, its a signed treaty and few can deny it.
Macedonia gets a new King
Prince Phillip has been born to the King of Macedonia, however, the nations that has contact with Macedonia doesnt care at all about this.
**Random Events (story writers gets them)
-Abundant rainwater and food in Sian has encouraged the ppl to study more often, +2 education to Sian
-Former Hispanian Chief is disposed, as all the other tribe chiefs simply all resign giving the Former Chief power, Hispania is now a Tribal Monarchy (without Bronze Age)
