STORY:
A man with an expression cold as steel stood up in the desert.
"The Babylonians are there", he whispered to his buddy and pointed onwards with his finger. "That is their camp. And beyond that camp... Babylon itself!"
"woah", the other man said. He would have wanted to say a lot more, but he had only recently started to learn the Persian language. He had came from far up north to help the Persians for a price. He was a Kasah mercenary.
"Aren't you scared?" asked the Kasah mercenary.
"Scared? Hah! Of Babylonians and their arrows? Take a look at this!" the Persian yelled and took off his saber from his scabbard.
"This is a saber made out of the finest iron you can find in the middle-east. This cuts into Babylonian flesh like a knife into butter."
They spend the entire night there, behind the sand dune, waiting for the right moment to attack.
"When is the right moment?" asked the Kasah mercenary.
"It is when the sun rises. That is when their guard shift changes and if we charge then, it will take them a lot longer to gather up their bowmen", answered the Persian.
"But many of us are still going to die to their arrows..."
"Yes, but not nearly all of us. And we outnumber them greatly - especially now that you mercenaries have arrived. And once we get inside their camp, there is nothing they can do. From far distance they might be shooting us like rabbits, but face to face their bows have nothing to say against our great iron sabers."
"Wow, looks like you and me are in the front line", the Kasah mercenary noticed. "Aren't you afraid of dying to their arrows?"
"Afraid? I looked fear in the eyes a long time ago. And fear was the one who blinked first!"
Before the Kasah mercenary could try to figure out the meaning of what this Persian soldier had just said, he heard a fierce yell:
"ATTACK!" someone yelled from behind.
And both men - and all the hundreds of Persians and Kasah around them - rose and started to charge towards the Babylonian camp. And when the Kasah mercenary looked towards the direction of his Persian friend who was waving his Saber, he noticed that there was not a blink of fear in his eyes, only deep concentration...

ORDERS:
Grow army near the capital of Persepolis and send it to fight to eastern Babylon. Send also the newly bought mercenary there.
DIPLOMACY
From Persia
To India:
We understand. We do hope, however, that you will send troops to Persia to defend our country if Babylon would happen to cross the borders between our nations.
To Greece:
In the name of our alliance, we ask you not to support anyone who wishes to help Persia's worst enemy.

King of the Oceans
The Celtic settlements had expanded massively over the years and the poeple welcomed the current situation. However witht he arrival of new civs and possible allies and enimies expansion must be held back in the name of progression. Meetings with the tribes of the Guals have decided that expansion would be South, North and West but not East as this is their land. However due to this the people became intrested on what lay across the ocean from them , we have a navy after all thought the people. Why not put it to good use?
Orders
Increase Army
(if possible land an army in S.England)

UPDATE 3
I WOULD HAD POSTED EARLIER, BUT SERVERS WAS DOWN
New Civs:
The Huns. originaly nomads, this group came from the east, to eventually settle and begin agricultural practices, still they are trully militaristic and wont mind to invade and destroy a smaller tribes.
OOC:emu is in control of the Huns
The first true military transtports appear, never before seen, the civilizations of the celts and greeks load an army into a fleet of ships and send them to another land. The Celts have jsut loaded their army into a ship an begun to explore the north, finding land, but not yet landing on it (wait for next turn)
The greeks in the other hand, had completed the loading of armys into their ships and sent them to the aeginian sea, expected to land in somewhere in the mid east soon (next turn)
OOC: to those new, a navy can carry up to one army.
Persian-Babylonian comflict
THE JUDEANS DECLARE PEACE ON BABYLON!
The Judeans declared peace on Babylon, they gained some land up north, but the costal area strip was kept by babylon!
The Babylonians promise a homeland to the barbarian tribes who came from the south, they, combined w/ the full thrust of the whole babylonian army (no longer busy on judean front) concentrated to push the persians out of their homeland and far from the capital, however, the leadership knew that crossing the border might activate the MPP w/ india, they comanded their troops not to cross the border, adn take a big piece of land.
The Persians did not have a total defeat, their northern armys and their mercenaries pushed from the north, taken some undefended land.
The Barbarian Incident, and the Indian War Declaration.
However planed the babylonian advances were, the barbarians, who by culture would keep on fighting if winning, and that defensive wars were for the weak, decided to push on the retreating persians, a babylonina army, who had lost communications decided to follow the barbarians, both took a large piece of land and were really close to the persian capital, everything between them was 3 armys defending it.
After a messenger arrived in the capital of india, they were forced to activate their MPP w/ persia.
From India:
to Babylon:
We had an agreement, you were not to cross the border in a large scale, but since ur so called army of barbarians have the persian capital in a virtual siege, we are forced to declare war on you.
From india:
To Babylon:
We are entering the war on your side, 2 armys are being equiped and will advance to your land by next month (next turn).
The Roman Expansion Campain:
Rome declared war on the Gauls, advanceing and taking the land between the empires, they are about to cross the border and trully invade, but they might be outnumbered by the defenders.
Carthage Invades Barbarian Settlements!
After offering to be part of the republic, the elite of carthage stormed the capital, after it was over, they found a large treasury of gold, most likely the one stolen from pirates onn many years.
this money was enough to pay for the new fleet w/out lowering the carthagenean economy.
From Nubia
To Egypt:
we are willing to reastart our relations, would you let us import fine products to your golden nation?
koreans invade china!
war is too far away, and messengers are still on the way w/ more information.

Chariot wheels rolled and bowstrings were released. Men fell and horses died. The battle was on! Who would be victorious in this turning point of Roman History?
- Build a new army and make it attack the Gauls
- Invade with the 4 armies

OOC: Stalin, what happened to my naval attack?
To Persia
From Babylonia
Now we both know the vigors of war on eachothers land. Let us end this conflict and grow and prosper together. While our nations fight and waste resources, nations in other parts of the world grow stronger and stronger, getting ready for invasions of our lands. Let us make peace now, at pre-war borders. We both have the same amount of power on hand to fight, plus India will not show on the battle field for another [2 turns].
To Judea
From Babylonia
If war continues, and you aid Babylonia, you shall always remain a true friend and ally of Babylonia. We agree to this full scale alliance.
To Arabian Barbarians
From Babylonia
You fight like it is as easy as eating pie. We are amazed at your fighting ability, and am pleased to have you on our side. I think you.

I assume this means peace with India and the mercenaries as well? And do not talk like you did not have time to make peace, you didnt want to make it anyways.
