Vakatas
Vakatas to Gupta :
Greetings allies! We two countries sit at the nexus of trade for this wide world, yet near as our nations our, merchants find it difficult to ship goods between us. The roads are in poor repair, there are no accommodations for caravans during monsoon season, the markets are inadequate, and we both lack the merchant fleets necessary for any extensive amount of commerce. It would be well worth it to invest some of our treasuries into these areas, and open up an effective trade route.
(SECRET: We intend to absorb those southern states, by civil means or military, thus uniting India under our alliance. What do you say?)
Orders:
Send out exploration fleets to the east and west, establishing formal diplomacy with the European nations, and scouting out prospects in South East Asia, Indonesia, and the Chinese states.
Establish trade route with Gupta if they agree.

Greetings, our most trusted allies! We would be honored to have a trade route with your great nation. May the bond between our two peoples be as steady and reliable as the Monsoon!
*SECRET*
Of course, these rebellious southern provinces must be brought under our rule at once. I shall send a map soon that divides the territory up equally between us.

Update One 470 CE
Prelude to War in Britannia
Britannian and Roman forces have pushed far north into Pictish territory, and the Picts have fled before the vast armies of Rome and Britannia. Few losses occurred for either side, boosting the morale of the Britannian troops. The Picts seem to be massing for a counterattack.
-5,000 Britannians, +1 Confidence
-10,000 Romans
War in Germania
The Frankish and Langobardi peoples have temporarily allied for an invasion of Bohemia. The more sophisticated but weaker nation has collapsed to the onslaught, and their resolve is weakening. Langobardi troops approach the capital. Bohemias only hope is aid from Rome.
-15,000 Franks
-15,000 Langobards
-25,000 Bohemians, -2 Confidence
The Rise of Scandia
Saxonian forces exploring in Denmark have contacted a civilized band of Scandinavians who call themselves the Scandians. While the Saxonians have claimed some territory in Denamrk, the Scandians control the northern portions of the peninsula.
Iberia
In Iberia, the Celtic peoples have assaulted a number of Hispanian border fortresses and conquered all regions north of the River Tagus. The Hispanians have rallied in the east, however, and driven back an Iberian attempt to drive them from the mountains. The Iberians are exhausted, and cannot continue their offensive effectively.
-10,000 Iberians
-15,000 Hispanians
Afrika
The Afrikans have attacked outlying Berber settlements, pushing the Berbers south into the desert. Casualties are light.
-10,000 Afrikans
The Avars
The Avars have continued their southward migration into Hellenic and Roman territory unopposed, pressured from behind by the strengthening Bulgar Khanate.
The Gothic Wars
War breaks out between the Hellenic Empire and both Gothic peoples! The Visigoths have retreated northward across the Danube, burning all bridges across, as well as some of their own ships, the prevent easy passage by the Hellenic forces. While the Hellenic Empire moved quickly to reoccupy the region and to assault the Visigoths from behind, they were taken by surprise by an Ostrogothic attack on their forts in the Crimea. A highly effective diversion tactic by the Ostrogoths results in a rout of Hellenic forces, though the Ostrogoths suffer many casualties against the superiorly-armed Hellenics. Most of the Hellenic army in the area has been cut off from the main force and the Hellenes have fled southward on the peninsula, many getting in ships bound for home. News of the defeat quickly reaches Antioch, and the Emperor has begun to fall out of favor.
-5,000 Visigoths, -5 ships
-20,000 Ostrogoths
-10,000 Hellenes, -1 Confidence
The Pope Speaks
Enraged at the sudden shift of policy within the Hellenic Empire and the loss of considerable influence on his part due to the cessation of persecution of non-Christians and closer relations with Rome, the Holy Father has declared the Hellenic Empire decadent and failing, and has called upon the people to revert to true faith in the Lord. The Hellenic Empire is in disarray, with many protesting the tolerance of lesser religions in the Empire, and persecution of non-Christians continues out of sight of the Imperial authorities.
-1 Confidence for the Hellenic Empire
The Popes message also carries weight in Egypt, though he also showed his support for the Egyptian attempt to reconquer the Holy Land. In any case, resistance to the idea of tolerance in Egypt has been less than in Hellenes, and non-Christian sects gain much influence.
Persian Invasion
In what seems to be a streak of bad luck for the Hellenic Empire, Persia, who may have collaborated with the Gothic peoples, invades Hellenic-held Mesopotamia, demanding the return of Mesopotamia to Persia. The Hellenic troops in the area, though few, fight well, and the Persians are kept from crossing the River Tigris. The Persians have also sustained heavy losses in two separate attempts to bridge the river.
-30,000 Persians
-10,000 Hellenes
The Holy Land
The Egyptians have poured into the Kingdom of Judah, bent on reconquering the various holy sites in the nation. The Hebrews of Judah, however, have rallied around Jerusalem and kept the Egyptians away from the city, though Egypt made great advances elsewhere. The Hebrews have refused to believe that the Egyptains would give them religious freedom never before have the Egyptians or any other nation acknowledged them. The Egyptians have also seized some Hebrew ships in port along the coast.
-10,000 Egyptians, +25 ships
-10,000 Hebrews, -25 ships
Arianism
The Saxonians have established Arianism as their state religion, which greatly increases the popularity of the religion in Saxony and also in the surrounding nations. While most Saxonians still worship local gods and goddesses, many have converted to the religion.

Greetings!
Would you like to establish trade routes with the African Empire?

Greetings!
We intend to expand eastwards in the near future but we don't desire any conflicts with you. That's why we propose to divide the area between us along the red line(map) and each of us can claim a part for his empire. We think that this solution satisfies both sides!
