MinionNESs I: A New Beginning

You misunderstood. Templates haven't been updated, but rather revised due to my mishap with my own culture rule.
 
Update, 3400 B.C.

In Arabia, the Arabs were horrified at the possibility of a large economic decline, but were instantly relieved when they found out it was merely the fault of miscalculations on part of the Arabian treasurer. The trouble off his chest, Muhammed again increased culture, bringing it up to it's full level. Experts rejoice, saying that Muhammed can now start a wonder by sacrificing all 5 levels. In the meanwhile, Arabs try to find out how to ride horses, but yet again fail. As mentioned countless times, horses are too weak in the early ancient age to serve as cavalry. However they do succeed in making chariots, and soothsayors say that the "ancient age", as it is to be called, is coming very, very, soon.

In Egypt, copper usage reaches the highest stage yet. Copper begins to be used in many domestic purposes, greatly helping farming and allowing for the first currency ever along the Mediterranean. Capitalizing on this surge, Saladin increases the Egyptian army and mounts a series of expansions. Small borders are established with Judea and Libya, and the Black Sea Coast (The Egyptian name for what is actually the Arabian Sea ;) ). A trade route is established with the Libyans, and some proclaim that Egypt is right now the most powerful nation in the world. Although culturally quite backwards...

In Europe, the Celts try to develop new sciences. They try to make a metal called "Iron", but fail miserably. Experts say that this probably won't come until the late next age, which all agree is coming relatively soon. They do however accomplish something revolutionary. They learn how to write! They use various symbols representing various words and etch them into the barks of trees, using them mainly to keep tabs on economic deals among the people (i.e. Gowydnn owes Tathlium 3 pigs and a cow). Celtic culture is now excellent, meaning that the Celts can now start a "wonder". Expansion reveals nothing significant about the Gothic conflict. The Goths are apparently fighting over farming territory, which is very scarce in their forested homeland.

In Central Asia, the Tuva mysteriously dissapear leaving no significant trace of their culture for future archeologists to find. However, a new nation appears in Central America called the Maya. The earliest records of them speak of a religious people, with an advanced culture, surrounded by a number of small tribes all around them.

In Northern America, the Hawaiians mount a great Northward expansion. They encounter nothing but mountains and hills in the immediate vicinity but many claim to see plains and grassland in the distance. To solve the problem of food, the small colony starts to fish, which not only helps increase it's population but economy as well.

To the Northeast of this colony is the new Huron empire. The Huron had recently rebelled against their Detroit opressors and taken over the struggling Detroiters.

In Italia, the Romans take the rumors of a land to the Southwest very seriously. A new army is constructed in Sicily and sent across the Mediterranean to the new lands that the Romans name Africa, after the young general who first lands on the continent. They establish a small camp at the very tip of it and are immediatly greeted by a great army of foreigners. They call themselves the Carthaginians, and are stronger than any other barbarian tribe that the Romans had ever seen. Meanwhile on the other side of the empire, rumors of a people to the Northeast become rampant.

In England, further attempts to colonize Ireland fail again. A navy is constructed, but the English leader forgets he can only upgrade one of the two per turn. Therefore, the English gain just an army, but no ground in Ireland. Scotland however, is also a problem. They had recently become organized, and when the English crossed the border a great battle ensued, ending in a Scottish victory. The Scottish knew the terrain much better than the invadersAn English army was destroyed, but the Scottish army is reduced to a few dozen half naked men. Scottish wise men suggest that their leader magically switch to some other place and take control of people there. Elsewhere in England, the town of Wales is built, and great expansion is undertaken around Bretanny.

In China, a great marriage ceremony is held and Shang China unites with the Northern Chin China. After new weapons are developed, the Chinese are now one of the three most advanced peoples in the world. They decide to improve upon this by building a navy, and they quickly master the seas. They expand in all directions, and put emphasis on naval exploration to find a rumored warrior race of the East. They fail to find it, but manage to gain much land, and on one expedition, the naval commander claimed to see a large island in the distance. The Chinese control a very large empire, and some are worried that steps need to be taken unless the emperor wishes to be ransacked by barbarians.

The Japanese meanwhile expand slightly to the North on both islands and raise their economy to stable. The people are very happy, and the Japanese are becoming very culturally advanced. On the down-side, a recent attempt to start a wonder failed considering that Japanese culture wasn't high enough. In a shocking turn of events, the Mori clan collapses and it's ruler flees back to Japan.

In India, King Arjun I increases farming along the Indus river, as his people call the stream on which they find themselves. They expand to the Southwest and find a new town, "Karachi". Meanwhile, in South America, the Incans develop a method of communication via rope messangers, increasing their culture. They do not expand at all due to the mountainous terrain all around them.

Lastly comes Judea, where the Judeans conscript another army into their ranks. They expand in all directions, but meet a large warlike country to the North. They call themselves the Assyrians and don't appear too friendly

TO THE OPPOSING GOTHIC LEADERS
FROM CELTS

We have many men that would help in creating more arable land for your region if you will join our nation. Also we can ship food from the existing Celtic territory. Do you accept?
 
Various Gothic tribes agree to the Celts request, but some don't, making Gothic territory a leopard skin of gray and green.
 
Arabia : Empire of Faith
Marvel of the world : The Koran
Muhammed walked on Mecca, the empires culture was great! nothing of such grandiosity had ever been created, arabia was the envy of the world, everyone wanted to go live there!, its temples, its mosques, its librarys, unrivaled in the known world... this boom in culture and religious fervor would beggin a revolution, Muhammed and other top clergymen, desided to beggin to write down the word of god, and pass it along thorughout the empire, the koran, it would boost military morale and might as soldiers would join to serve god, and the economy increase as corrution disapeared and trade boomed to mecca, the center fo the empire.

Begin Grand Wonder : The Koran, 3 economic levels, 3 military levels (1/5)

create new army and move it as in map.
expand as in map.
 
China:

The empire was stretched to its limits. Bob would draft another army to help defend the borders and would not expand the empire until it became safer. It would hurt the economy, but it had to be done. He still wanted to gain contact with the people of the island found in a recent expidition. Formosa is what the locals call it.

There was a great amount of trading going on, inside and outside the empire. But, due to Bob's new decree, the empire could not expand. Instead, he allowed several of the more civilized tribes around them to come into the empire and live. The populace was apprehensive at first. But after the increase of trade, the introduction of this new "copper" from them, and the fact that the immigrants would do the harder labor they came to.

The increase of trade required an improved communication system. Bob had the top scholars working on a "written" language of the sounds made by the chinese language. Along with improve roadways and new relay posts for messengers, it greatly improved communication.

Another new technology included the advent of a primitive sewage system. It was first tested in the capital, then quickly spread to other villages.

The sewage system allowed for more cities to pop up. The firt of which was Chang'An, on the outskirts of the empire. The nest was Wuhan, in the middle of the Yangtze Valley. The final one was Shanghai, a thriving port in close proximity to the capital.

Orders:
-Grow Army
-New Army should be in the far west Yangtze Valley, the Northern one should be in the old Chin lands near Chang'An. The southern one should be just south-west of the capital.
-Do not expand
-Send the navy north
-Try to get contact with the people on Formosa
-Research writing, copper, and primitive sewage system(like at Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro)
-Watch the immigrant tribes carefully, without invading their privacy. Treat them equally.
 
"Sir, lets do this..."
"Alright, dictate these orders."

ORDERS
Begin the Wonder of Celtian Way (plus 2 or 3 economy)
Continue to pursue peaceful solution to Gothic issue, send druids to convert Goths
Send Western army west
Send Central army north
Send Eastern army south
Build new army and send it east
Reseach bronze making
 
"Knowing an invasion of his homeland was imminent, Sir William raised an army out of the various clans of Scotland. 'I shall fight to the end! Now who will fight with me?!' he yelled to his men, and they cheered, chanting 'WILLIAM WILLIAM WILLIAM...WE'RE WITH YOU TO THE END!' Knowing that he couldn't defeat the English alone he asks nations across the sea."

To: Goths and Celts
From: Scots

My brothers, please I urge you to come to peace. I wish to form an Alliance with you both. This ensures peace and prosperity, and silence across the European country-side. We all originated from the early Germanic Tribes. Now I say to please our ancestors, we make peace and grow economically and culturally.
 
TO SCOTS
FROM CELTS

Do you wish to make an alliance against England? Because we do not wish to begin war. For trade agreements we are open for business. We have wine for sale :)
 
err.. sorry to burst your bubble but none of you know of each other yet.


However, the Irish are willing to help the Scots.
