UPDATE VI​

Royal Union In the Eastern Mediterrenean took place quite quickly between Egypt and Antioch. The houses of both families were now together and so were the lands they ruled.
A new grand capital was to be built between the former capitals of both. This city, Jerusalem was to be a beutiful one as much money and time would be spent on its construction. A new name for this empire was also being thinked about (since it was no longer just antioch people that made it up). This Union has not made Antioch the most powerful in the world, but a stronger nation indeed.

The Epic war between Venice against Rome and Geneva continued. However not much action took place in the part of Venice or Geneva. Geneva reinforced its army and was now in supply and ready to push forward. While Venice continued to grow its military strenght, concentrating it to hold the siege of a primary city.
The real surprise came not from an european power, but from Carthage. Carthage had diplomatic problems with Rome in the past regarding land claims int he mediterrenean. This was a perfect opportunity to strike at Rome and expand in the penninsula.
And so, the great General Hannibal, spending extra money on this campaign, loaded up more than a dozen elephants and 15 divisions.
The Romans saw the ships comming, but paid little attention since they were used to pety raids from Venice as distractions. Little time they had when the army landed and moved towards the capital. At the gates of Rome one of the greatest battles in ancient history took place.

Hannibal was outnumbered 2 to 1. But he had surprise as the Romans were tired, hungry and unprepared. Hannibal maintained his elephants on the right flank. He then made sure that the center would allow itself to be pushed, allowing his flanks to surround the Romans. His Elephants surprisingly had no part in the battle (other than psychological effects). But the Numidian cavalry was what won that day. The roman army was encircled and after almost two hours of combat, the Roman Generals were killed and the army evaporated. Hannibal had lost 9 divisions, while the romans had lost 24.
With the destruction of the Roman Army, hannibal turned to Rome. Rome was in panic and many fainted with the sight of the elephants at its gates. hannibal and his army would go and destroy the city, Burning rome to the ground, and sowing the ground with salt so nothing would ever grow there again!.

Rome had now desintegrated into nothing more of bands of former infantry. It no longer had any cities as they had been systematically destroyed by both Carthage and Venice. The war for rome was pretty much over and a new great power started to grow. The money and gold pillaged from rome helped into creating Cartago Novo. A Carthagenean city in the hearth of Italy. Here a great arc of thriumph was to be build.

Carthage -9 divisions, Rome -Rome. Carthage +1 city

In the colder north, another war was taking place. Sweden went on against its traditional enemy, Kalmar. But this time the Lithuanians were also fighting.
The war could have gone for a longer time if it wasnt for the suicide of its leader. After his death, Kalmar went into chaos and was victim to Ehtnic clensing from the Swedish Army. Sweden has achieved a reputation in the ancient world as a power that uses terror and destruction to maintain its morale up and its enemies down. But now that the Kelmar are gone... who will they attack next?
-1 kelmar Union

Many nations in Europe tought that the Normans and the people of Holland were more than friends. That they were allies. But trust is not always a good thing in this human world.
The Normans invaded Holland, capturing a city and having the enemies capital under siege. But the war was not lost for Holland. They had grown its army to be able to at least maintain a good defense. The Normans tried to land north of the capital, but this didnt turned so well due to the wether of the English Channel. Forcing them to maintain a thrust on land. The General of the Dutch army descided to give up a city in exchange for time. Time to bring its army togheter. The Army of the Normans were now at the gates of the capital of holland.
But such city was well fortified and now had numbers as up as 20 divisions defending it.
The war between William of Orange, and William of Normandy had begun.

In the Aegean, problems continue as ships disapear and Greek Colonists are harrased for 'trying to colonise territory of Constantine". Athens grow its fleet and Sparta trains its soldiers for a conflict that seems to draw closer. The Crimeans are not known if they are to side w/ the Greeks or remain neutral...

Other nations continue to Grow and expand, but nothing worth mentioning on the history books.

Random events:
Nice stuff happened to Crimea, Geneva & Normandy (what exactly? some free stats or something)

Infrastructure and roads (So everyone thats curious as why Crimea has roads, their infrastructure is average or better)

UPDATE WEDNSDAY MORNING! lets keep the fast updates rolling again!​

mapo of world update 6

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Nice update Stalin.

I knew it was a good turn to not increase economy.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Heheh, the 'War of the Williams!'

 

[ThomAnder]

Those are cute elephants... good update

To: Byzantium
From: -About to be- Kingdom of Jerusalem

There is no need for war between us. We propose that borders stand as they are currently, and you can claim all the land hugging the black sea. (Similar to OTL byzantium during 1100s when they had trebizond and the western
third portion of asia minor)

 

[Stormbringer]

Agreed, as long as we receive the land around the Black Sea and inner Anatolia and you expand into the Middle East and Egypt we will have peace.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Oh yeah. I forgot about this bit.

To: Normandy
From: Holland

Okay, what was that all about? Please give us at least a reason for your attack. "Because you're weak" is now untrue. Now give us our city back and retreat from our lands, and we won't ask any reparations from you.

 

[Dreadnought]

To Denmark
From Sweden

We propose a union between our two nations. We Swedes can educate you and defend you. You have much to gain from uniting with Sweden!

We are Scandinavian kin....the nation won't be called Sweden, or Denmark, but The Scandinavian Union (shortened to Scandinavia). If our powers unite, we can reach Valhalla!

 

[Silver Steak]

Lurker's comment: you'd reach Valhalla anyway, if you die in battle.

 

[Dreadnought]

Your technically right, but if we unite, instead of fight, we won't waste our...umm...ticket to Valhalla...?

 

[conehead234]

to: Holland
From: Normandy
The War of the Williams have begun.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Bring it on, Coney.

 

[alex994]

I have avenged the OTL Hannibal! May he rest in peace...

I will write a story soon about how Rome was destroyed piece by piece.

 

[stalin006]

From Denmark:
To Sweden:

We are not ready to merge now, or most likely for the next thousand years. We can defend ourselfs. If you want to Reach Valhalla, send us your armies and we will gladly send them there.

However we do hope that peace can be maintained.
