Echoes of the Past
265 B.C
Like demons out of the pits of hell the Mauryan war machine thundered into the peaceful yet defiant realm of Nan-Yue. From atop their Elephants the archers and spearmen of Maurya brutally cut down most resistance raised by the stubborn asian state. Tales of the atrocities reach as far as Rome. The Emperor of Qin China has pledged his help to the Mauryans. The Chinese marched from the north with great success, however, the Nan-Yue were able to strike back and plunge into Chinese territory.
More Mauryan nobles are increasingly uncomfortable by the new freedoms of peasants. Word has begun of action.
In Mongolia the Khans have begun to create a stable kingdom governed more by reason (brutal reason though it is). Harsh laws were put down that effectively began the Mongol kingdom on a better corse in history, but can it last?
The Roman giant brutaly destroys the Massilian nation in a final blow. It's expansion north is seen as a true sign of it's growing power. The military of the Republic also takes another leap forward as the legions swell in numbers.
Glory be Armenia! The thriving nation as asended to Empire status. The legionairres put Cappadocia, Galatia and Pontus under it's heel. The new power has put the Selucids in an awkward position. But right now the Selucids are in no position to do anything about the blue legions of Armenia.
Macedonia takes the rest of Epirus. The Greeks become more hostile.
Speaking of Greeks, they have openly spat in Rome's face by establishing a new colony in Iberia as if to say look-at-me-rome-im-not-touching-you-,-does-this-bother-you?
Ptolmey's sons have struck into the Arabian peninsula with massive force compared to the native Arab tribes. The nation of Maan looks to it's southern allies for help if the Ptolmey's were to overpower them as they surely would.
