JNESXIV Turn 7, 3300bc.
A new empire emerges from the shores of the Caspian Sea known as the Golden Horde. These people are based from the city of Astrakhan, and live off of the plundering of other civilized peoples within its controlled area. Already they have a huge army with a huge economy to support it. However, the Horde also needs many armies inside its borders to keep up stability.
The Russian leader has proclaimed himself a God of the people, and so runs Russia as a theocracy. The switch was relatively smooth. Meanwhile, the war in Outer-Russia against the Barbarians in Kiev came to an end, with the Russians victorious. Upon the arrival of the Moscow Spearmen, the Russians overwhelmed the Hun defenses and took the city for their own. From it, the Russians have discovered a new technology not used ever in the world irrigation. From the new technology, the citizens are able to grow more food faster and easier, easily supporting more army (bonus of 2 extra army supports! Wont last for ever
).
Switch to theocracy in Spain went well as well, as many already believed the emperor to be a God. Due to opening the first trade route, the borders of influence from Toulouse, Spain expands dramatically as many want in the market.
Milan begins using Copper age tools due to the trade with Zaragosa.
English armies land in Ireland finally, but after much exploration, the islands seem to be mostly friendly. However, there are rumors of huge resistance to the English building up in the north.
The Arabian cities of Mecca, Medina, and Amnia have decided it would be to their benefit to unite under the name of Arabia. And so the Triple-City alliance has become named Arabia under the Semi-God named Allah. While the citys borders stretch far in the empty desert, the population is scarce, and so the army is very weak to control such an empire.
Macedonia falls! After gathering two armies to defend Thessalonica, the Macedonians were no match for the two spearmen regiments sent from Ahh
and Athens. The city fell without a siege, and so did the rest of the Macedonian empire. However almost immediately riots begin in Athens for a new Athenian state. One Hmm soldier was killed in the attack.
Siege continues in Warsaw as the Polish receive reinforcements. However, the Germans have introduced the chariot and spearmen into the battle and the sides tip to their advantage as they attacked the defenseless Polish clubmen. However, learning of this, the Polish immediately upgraded their army to German standards.. One Polish army was destroyed as they tried to thwart the siege but failed.
Carthaginian explorers have introduced new sails. The whole of the navy is quickly upgraded with this new technology, giving the added bonus of speed and agility. Also, with the new power, they can build larger boats that can carry an extra army on board (bonus, wont last for long).
OOC:
Remember, you can open individual trade routes with individual cities within another empire. Your cities act as trading hubs. So for Spain, he can he can open another trade route from Zaragosa to Turin and again from it, or from Toulouse to Milan should there be a road constructed.
I didnt do **** for the people who didnt sent orders, you had enough time.
