Nuke Nes IX: Genesis and Armageddon

Great Update! Also, this is funny out of context.

I'm sorry Eltain, but I'm repossessing Y(o)u

Major Nannuk Battles of This Era: 800-1000. Left Vague due to infighting, the need to track three nations, and not sure of what Eltain wants to do with his timeline.
Early Era
Raids in northern Nannuka by the Ut, Ut Army repulsed.
Island of Rhodes raided through a joint by Kanukan ships, further raids repulsed by Cayun.
Nannuk Mercenaries fight a war in northern Nannuk and southern Vanuka, then disbanded to raid all the way to the headwaters of the Euphrates.
Invasion of southern Nannuka from Aegypt by the Ut, they managed to capture the Dead Sea region. This happens every generation or so at various locations.
Large raid of the Phonikan coast destroys many building materials and forts. Captured ships greatly increases the size of the Nannuk navy.
First invasion of Vanuka of the Cayun, capturing an important iron mine.
Middle Era
Invasion of Northern Nannuka by Ut, Occupation lasted 30 years before Ut finally pushed out.
Invasion of various Aegean Islands by Vanukans and Kanukans, V
anuka launches a deep thrust into Cayun, which captured some important towns
Conflict in Aegptian Nannuka with a Nannukan slave revolt followed by Kanukan invasion. Dead Sea Region recaptured.
Ut pushed out of Northern Nannuka. The defeated army decided to try again with reinforcements:
Ut invasion of Kanu-Kemand defeated when local Guerrilla destroyed the supply train and the army was left no room to maneuver. (Ahem :mischief:)
Phonikan coast captured by Kanuka.
Golden Age
Kanuka began raiding northern Aegpt and invaded the islands off of Crete.
Vanuka began another thrust after a serious of small scouting raids. This one reached Cayun the city itself.
Ut army pushed away from an invasion of Kanu-Kemand region, and Trans-Jordan area was invaded and occupied after a slave revolt.
Mercenaries were used as far as the Almekite Raiders to the far east and against Albast to the west.
Preparations began for an invasion of Crete, Peloponnese, and Aegypt.
The Shattering
The United Nannukan Fleet was destroyed at the battle of the Nannukan Sea between Rhodes and Crete. 100 ships destroyed, including 2 of the great Colonyships.
Vanukan army dashed against the wall of Cayun City. Slaughter as they attempted to scale the walls with ladders or dig under. Their retreat was met with Stleki horsemen who ran down the Vanukan army.
Ut sends three armies into the Vanuka during their weakness, and destroyed minor noble forces as the hastedly conscripted force near Vanu-Serat. Vanu-Serat was saved from occupation, but is now only a week's march from the nearest Ut Army camp.
Kanukan invasion of Aegypt was cancelled at the loss of their fleet. With most of the warriors stuck on Kanuka to be ferried a few hundred at a time, Ut easily reannexes Trans-Jordan, defeated the nearby Nannukan army at Kanu-Kemad and forced them to hole in, and then utterly destroyed the Nannukans of Phonika and northern Nannuka, forcing them to flee.
The Second Exodus
Nannuk of Phonikan Coast and northern Nannuka had no choice but to hire the few Kanukan ships left and find one of the independent pirates of the seas. They were joined by Vanukans from the Aegean and the Kanukan Soldiers who were originally from the conquered areas. They found the city of Kanu-Hatas, ruled by the Pirate Lord Shan II. After a generation, the two populations intertwinned and Shan III declared himself king of Shanuka.
Kanukan 'Crusade'/'Mass Migration' and refugees repopulate Kanu-Kemand, pushing away further intrusions but unable to win more of their homeland. Kanu-Kemad now has no northern march.


Regions of the Nannuk.
Nannuka=Palestine. Spent about 100 years as an independent kingdom, but accepted Kanukan overlordship after the Shattering. Its power was in their various nobles and their small, versatile warbands.
Kanu-Kemad: Hegemonic city of Nannuka. Central Nannuka (Now the northern part of the current Nannukan Province) and controls the Cypresses for the Kanukan ships and various important mines.
Herkano-tas: Region around the Jordan River and the Dead sea, southern Nannuka
Herkano-batas: Transjordan, region accros the Jordan River.
Gaskanat: Sea of Galilee, northern Nannuka, controlled by the Ut.
Phonika: Lebanon, major Ut seaport, and partially occuped by the Nannuka during the Golden Age for their tax revenues

Kanuka=Cyrus, Almost a second homeland the formerly wild island is mostly tamed. Its power is in its fleet.
Kanu-Dalak: Hegemonic city of Kanuka and holds the only seaport, forges, and walls.

Shanuka=Eastern Libya, New state only about a generation old, but very stable due to common loss and the fires of a new nation. Their strength is their passion and relative stability.
Kanu-hatas= Shanukan Hegemonic City. Its power over other pirate coves in Kanu-Hetas are its fields are surrounded by desert: while other cities hadn't have any fields at all. These fields, ignored during Pirate days were settled by refugees, made the city into a production powerhouse, and lead its dominance over other cities.
 
The Second Age of the Dominika calendar began with 799 BC being Year 2A-1. That year was the year that Dynus III rose to power over the Huntra Union. In the Giant Land, the Kingdom of Kompendon was established, with its capital at the city of Kompendon (modern day Sydney), in 2A-27 (772 BC). With strong central governments developing, the Dominika could focus on expanding.

The Dynusian Line of Huntra rulers began to fund trading expeditions up towards the northern islands, where he heard that other nations were beginning to form on islands west of the Northern Colonies.

Dominika orders:
Spoiler :

1. Start making contact with the Korowai and if possible the people of Timor.

2. Spread up and down the coast of Australia to expand the Kingdom of Kompendon

3. Expansion: East and northeast to Polynesia and Kiribati

4. Continue growing an agricultural base

5. Also, continue to gain some cohesion
 
Terrance, was that this turn's 200 years?
 
Taharnnen orders to come later. Will edit this post.

EDIT: Orders in a later post.
 
I can't find the nation I created...
 
Terrance, was that this turn's 200 years?

I'm not sure. I made my vague so that you, the master of the Middle East, center of the world, conqueror of the Gaskanat and Vanskat, and writer of timelines can write up the detailed timeline.

Also: TREMBLE AT THE MIGHT OF THE NANNUKAN GOLDEN AGE!

One prominent tribe, the Lyba, convinced many of the other, weaker and insignificant tribes to join with them to annihilate the other local tribes. Now uncontested in the area, the first signs of permanent settlements are appearing and the first permanent farms are being established on on whatever arable land is available.

Spoiler :
Orders:
Try to establish trade with Med. nations
Expand east and west along the shores of the Atlantic
Expand the armed forces
Search for iron deposits
Force Cayun colonists out of the area
 
I'm sure we are in the early Iron age and that Cayun controls that area. But welcome to NESing!

EDIT: Orders tomorrow.
 
It's not too late and if you'd like to start there you'd be in conflict with the Cayun who have established a colony there
 
Surnit Orders:

1. Both the Kingdoms would contuine expanding there respective colonies.

2. Research new sail and ship designs for going further out in sea.

3. They would also start researching basic food preservation, for longer journies.

4. Contuine trading with the other Asian Nations.
 
It's not too late and if you'd like to start there you'd be in conflict with the Cayun who have established a colony there

Oh, whoops, must have missed that. Can you move me to Morocco (if possible)?
 
Morocco would work :)
 
Taharnnen

The Taharnnen Federation in this time period grew to encompass all the tribes of I'serth. With complete unity, petty tribal feuds and embargoes were eliminated. When Re'hal Torik, an adventurous shark hunter, suggested exploration further afield, his request was granted by an (unnamed) High Chief, and he was given a crew of fifteen and the work of the Federation's best timbersmiths - an outrigger sailing ship, similar to what we know as a catamaran. Torik then set out to the north, in search of other civilization.

While Torik himself had no luck, his explorations and those of his successors led to the establishment of several trading posts up the east coast of Africa, under sovereign Taharnnen control. Through trade with tribes in these areas, Taharnnen wealth and influence grew substantially.
 
Nehiimet Orders:

Spoiler :
-The use of irrigation, fertilizers, and crop rotation led to the development of the first true Nehiimet cities. These cities included granaries, rudimentary schools, temples, and market places, as well as large residential areas, all located around a central meeting space.
-With the rise of cities came new developments in astronomy and cartography as well as language (think of the language as going from Mayan style pictographs to something closer to Chinese with thousands of character/words). Standardized weights and measurements appeared and the messenger system was improved.
-With the new interest in learning about the world around them, a decree went out to the cartographers to for expeditions to map the lands both inside and outside Nehiimet control.
-The rise of cities, increase in intellectual pursuits, and Nehiimet expeditions marked a transition in the traditional way of life and thus the beginning of a new age of declared by the Chief (46 years into this 200 year update), making that year-- 1 Syaw'e (the first year of the Age of Seers)
-These expeditions were a huge success and began a massive wave of settlement and conquest by the Nehiimet, as well as expeditions that were sent farther into the wilderness at the closing of the 200 years and not expected to return for several seasons
 
The Sienna

Spoiler :
Expansion: The kingdom continued to expand along the Yangtze and its many tributaries. Meanwhile, small groups of settlers broke of from the kingdom and established separate city states along the Yellow River. (OOC: More explained below.)

In the year 763 bc, Renodal Sia ascended to the throne of the Kingdom of Erenak. His rule brought about many important changes in Sienna society.

1) Before Renodal's reign, few rulers had been able to effectively respond to the issue of the merchants. Renodal took the initiative and began building special areas within the major cities and villages where merchants were forced to stay separate from the local populace, save for business. While this move helped ease tensions among certain parts of the population, others took a more negative view towards this action. (OOC: continued below)

2) Renodal's action's regarding the merchant class came as a relief to many, but as a warning sign to others. Several traditionalists were alarmed by this move, as most inter city dealings had been previously handled by city councils. Still, with a great deal of support behind Renodal, significant resistance would be near impossible to inact. Therefore, several groups of disgruntled citizens traveled north to the Yellow River, to establish independent cities from the empire.

3) As the kingdom expanded, a new, more centralized capital was required. In the year 748 bc, Renodal ordered the construction of a new city, Neshka, to become the new capital. (OOC: Neshka is located where Wuhan is today.) Here, Renodal commissioned many great buildings, including the Grand Library and the Eternal Palace.

4) As the kingdom began to expand, banditry changed from a minor nuisance to a serious issue. To combat this, several kings, starting with Renodal, began to organize city militias to combat them. However, it wasn't until the reign of Melnan Ika, grandson of Renodal, that a more kingdom wide method was developed. Melnan began recruiting individuals from across the empire to serve in what soon became known as the Royal Guard. Tasks less with defending the king and more with defending his domain, the Royal Guard were the first professional troops ever created by the Sienna. While the equipment (bronze spears and arrows, wicker shields, leather armor) was not as advanced as some cultures, the one advantage that the Royal Guard had which gave them the edge over the bandits was their use of ships. The Royal Guard would employ amphibious tactics to pepper bandits with arrows from the safety of the rivers, as well as to launch quick attacks with lessened fear of retaliation.
 
Missing quite a few orders from quite a few people, and without them, I really can't do anything about updating this for now. I'll push the deadline to Wednesday and if not, well, I know your culture fairly well enough I suppose...
 
Sorry plain forgot, Will have orders up tomorrow at the latest.
