N3S I: Empires Ablaze

To: Euskardi
From: Gaul

We would like to open trade with you with the roads running through our kingdom.

OOC: NK when you say the tribes seem divided does that mean mine are divided or are those guys really pissed off at me and are basically eating my people!!!

From: Canaan

Since you said you wouldn't anyway, you'll have to excuse us if we don't feel too bad about the loss.

From: mod

It means that some of the tribes you sent diplomats to are feeling different from some of the others. Some of your diplomats came back--those were from the friendly tribes, or at least the ones who were neutral towards you. Some of your diplomats did not--it's up for you to find out if the barbarians ate them.

From: Euskardi

What... roads?

Otherwise, we would be willing to open up trade with you.

EDIT:

To: EVERYONE
From: Mod

Orders in on Thursday. Something's come up, so I'll be updating on Friday and Saturday morning.
 
Kentharu, can you confirm that the NAP is for 5 turns, not 5 years? :)
 
From: Minoa
To: Sardinia

We seem to be the major trade powers in the Mediterranean. As such, we request a pact of trade and friendship (OOC: trade and an NAP, but with a fancy name).

@NK: Sardinia doesn't seem to have stats. :confused:
 
Okay, good. That's what I thought. ;)
 
Do they agree to the diplo?
 
Under the hot summer sun, the laborers worked. The sweat dripping off their brows and shoulders. Along the river bank, laborers were resting, cooling off in the muddy waters of the river. But soon they were back to work. Hauling stones and bricks to Mohenjo-Daro, where a new set of walls were being built. The stone and earthen walls surrounded the capital. But their purpose was not to keep out barbarians, but to keep out nature. Flooding has destroyed the city many times over. Now King Dhiren Avanindra embarked on an ambitious project to shield Mohenjo-Daro and other major cities from the flood waters. Walls and levees were to be constructed, diverting the water away from the cities and into the fields where they can be used to replenish and irrigate the soil.

Months later, the new walls began to take shape. Fashioned with stone and brick and lining the river. The walls were to become the newest line of defense against the flood waters. Learning from lessons of the past, the foundation for the walls was set deep below the ground to prevent the wall from collapsing from beneath. Dhiren Avanindra walked along the wall, inspecting its masonry. It was the first section to be completed of an ambitious project to protect the dozens major cities along the river. From the height Dhiren Avanindra could see his kingdom. The farmland extended into the horizon, the fields of wheat and barley across the river. The floods have refreshed the farmlands year after year. The land provided the city with a surplus of food, wheat and barley were made into bread and beer. In addition, herds of cattle roamed. Sacred and respected by Hindus, they are not to be harmed, only used for milk. Roaming with the cattle is the goat and sheep, supplying the city with meat, and other products. And the newest addition is the chicken, which arrived from the east.

On the other side of the wall laid the perfect grid street layout of the city. City planning was held high in Mohenjo-Daro. Perfectly aligned streets ran thru the city. The buildings were engineered to the highest standard. In the markets, goat skins were being traded. Wool cloths were being woven. The latest harvest of wheat arrived to be transported to the granary. Lapis lazuli from the west was being traded; men snatched it up for its blue color and beauty. The city was bustling. Lest, the king knew that if the walls failed, all of this beautiful city would be washed down the river once again.
 
TO: Utica
FROM: Carthage


Brothers, it has proved exceedingly obvious that ceaseless bloodshed since time immemorial has lead both our great cities nowhere but down. Shall we continue to battle until the end of time, until we are both struck down by some outsider? We propose a ceasefire so that we might have some chance of working out something of a more amicable coexistance.
 
Orders sent for next two updates. I'll be away from Friday morning until June 19th.

Story coming if I have time.

The people of Makravi in the city that answers to the same name were people of trade. They sent their caravans alon distant trips to unknown lands from which they returned with riches to buy and sell. It was all well and from each direction diffrent goods came. Yet it was not enough for the kings of Makravi. They wanted more, more lands, more control,more riches and slaves. When the news of the Schytian tribes arrives the king of Makravi of that day decided that it is the perfect time to use some propeganda and get his people to the army. Ones he will have a hge army he could, with the promised help of the Sakas, not only defeat the schytians but conquer their lands and inslave their people bringing his riches, lands and overall population of his country into huge proportions. That was his plan. And soon he will have it done...


ORDERS
Use the only eco for growing the horsmen more and call many more people to the army against the threat of the Schytians!!!
With Sakas aid and the horses army (the gaurdians stay at home..) invade the schytians lands to not allow them to bring forward one large army and break them into pieces in their own lands by seperating and conquering them. The moving Sakas that move out of their lands those lands should be settled and claimed ones they move out. Also expand along the trading roudes into all 3 directions.
Expand the trade with the indian nations by remaking the roads to them more easy to pass (stupid huge mountains).
Begin the Silk-Road project which will great increase my spending economy and imrpove the trading routes between china-persia and some india and will increase my expansion along the road.
