One question tho, is it because of the disease that my additional workers on wheat and cow ain't producing anything, I should have enough infrastructure on them I think...

Epically epic indeed, O Mod.
The Rise of Iron
For centuries, the Vetharil had made ornate and fearsome weapons out of bronze. The great Legion of Vethmenari equipped itself in the brown-gold metal, and the Highking was known to wear a specially-adorned suit of bronze armor when entering battle. Of course, such was mostly a legend at best.
With the rise of iron-working, Vetharil armor took on a more silver-gray appearance, although the ancient methods of creating such armor, and its shape, remained mostly the same.
However, suits of iron armor enabled the Legion of Vethmenari to enter battle less concerned of its soldiers movements. The few uprisings against Vethmenari that still went on were put down much faster with the use of iron armor, as its increased durability allowed soldiers to take better, the hits of pike and sword.
Indeed, with the rise of iron-crafting, the shield and sword became more common weapons, and in the weak spots of their armor, the Vetharil began to wear a mesh of iron rings, sautered together at the tips.
The claymores the craftsmen of the Vetharil were able to create were truly fearsome, however. At the tip, sharper than glass. On the sides, two spikes rose in the middle of the blade, like thorns. The strike of the Vetharili Claymore was the keenest of any weapon its day that the forgemen of Vethmenari knew of, and for good reason, they were proud of their craft.

OOC:A bit behind in my story but here we go with the plague part that was supposed to be before this latest update.
Fall of the Monarchists Part 2
Life had been slowly diminishing since the barbarians raided the city. People were leaving it for the safety of constantly moving like nomads. All the progress made in the region was slowly eroding. The remaining city dwellers closed their gates and hid inside their walls living off small garden farming and domesticating cattle to graze on the grass inside the city.
When the plague came they locked the gates not allowing anyone inside their city. As the plague ravaged the plains dwellers. The city dwellers lived not in peace but in fear of catching the deadly plague. For months they hid in their city.
While the plains dwellers would constantly visit the King and his army to ask for permission to violently take the city so that they too could live without the plague.
The King denied them again and again. Month after Month more people died. Years pasted before the plague was gone and the King went into the city hoping for a glorious welcome. The citizens did not even look at him.
In the plains when the King went through the current campsite. They didn't ignore instead they threw rotting meat at him. All of them shouting "Rotter! Rotter!". The 2nd to last King was known as the King of Rot.
The Last King prevented his own early demise by revolution through securing the borders of Zamar and finally pushing out the barbarians! Great rejoicing went through out the city and the plains. Everyone cheered this new Great King. This was not to last though as the King had his own plans of now what to do with the people of En Corthan.

Orders for Vethmenari (the Vetharil)
1. Privatize our farming to allow for greater commerce, but station small regional forces in key agricultural areas; control over the crops is our greatest asset in preventing revolts in areas controlled by the less-pleased Houses. (Spend 1e for more farms)
2. Spend 1e, since we now have a system of writing, to foster cultural growth, especially in the northern areas both to incorporate them into the greater nation of Vethmenari, and to cement our hold over Vetharoualk.

@Kraz me too
So your dudes were so fired up (and lucky) that they did a lot of damage in Geskh, even against their fortresses and their fierce mountain dudes, but Cria got attacked by Rattram sepratists, then you got invaded from the west by the Haelani celto-thracians, alright? If you have any ideas for morphing into something new and awesome lemme know.
@andis that is so, and should be back to normal next time.

We realize that it is not you who burned down our temples in your lands, but barbaric peoples in a desperate attempt to strike back at us for rightfully exiling them from our lands. However, we do feel that some sort of compensation is in order. For how would you feel if we had your sons in our lands, only to let them perish one after another without care or remorse?
Therefor, we wish your people to reconstruct the temples damaged and destroyed by the barbarians. Once this is done, our realms can prosper under the heavenly guidance of Oltac and his pupils.

You are welcome to trade at any time, but your settlers will drain our infrastructure. For this time we cannot allow your people to settle in our lands, until the plague has been cleansed and the sanitation improved to allow greater populance.

The Fall of the Monarchists Part 3
With the lands united under one King and the army even pushing north it seemed that the entire land was at peace. In the King's royal tent all was not at peace. The King alienated and constantly insulted his advisers. Sometimes he even had them killed. Finally one day the 5 remaining advisers gathered in the town hall of the city. They declared without right hatred that they were going to lead a rebellion against the King.
The people began to argue as the city could not decide which side to pick. The King pushed them and came to conscript every young man into his army. That tipped the scales and the city rebelled! Lead by the wisest military leader General Arkon (Lord Free) the new rebellion managed to conquer the loyal plains tribes to the King and convince the others to join them. So at the battle of the ridges where Arthoc lead the greatest army in history to create the first dynasty began the battle that would change the fate of En Corthan forever.
The battle began with the chariots of both sides entering through the pass and beginning duels between the riders based on their skill. While on the ridges the battle was more brutal between the infantry of both sides. The battle started with 500 versus 500. As the battle wore on the King was slain. The royalists did not stop though till after another 2 hours of fighting when it reached the ears of all of them that the King was dead. General Arkon stood with his army victorious. Now with the monarchs gone how would En Corthan rule itself?
