Nuke Nes IX: Genesis and Armageddon

[Celticfury]

Sienna orders

Spoiler :

Expansion: As people continued to settle further along the Yangtze, towns also began to pop up along the various tributaries that fed into the mighty river.

1) Contact with the Surnit brought about many changes in Sienna culture. Prominent among these was the development of a merchant class. As trade increased between the two cultures, merchants began to move in from the Surnit nations to the urban areas of the kingdom. While they remain a very small part of society, they had a lot of unintentional impact on society. To the Sienna, a merchant was seen as someone who profited off of another's hard work for their personal game, similar to a parasite. Therefore, social tensions developed in high trade areas, leading to some unsavory incidents.

2) A positive development that came from the Surnit was the introduction of writing. The Sienna had always lived as an oral culture. Yet as the kingdom expanded, the need for better methods of communication increased. The Surnit alphabet was adopted and used by the rulers and priests to help organize the kingdom.

3) Architecture was continually expanded upon, with new ideas and techniques being added to improve the villages and cities that dotted the Yangtze.

Update 4-Calm before the Creator's Storm

The Creator looked down and was concerned. A great change was about to occur. Even he, all knowing as he was, could only guess and estimate as what would happen. He had been warned of course, but he disregarded it. For now, at least, nothing on the mortal world could affect them.

In the world though, the people could note nothing strange with the times. It was a time of prosperity for the most part. The ailments of old, hunger, war, and poverty, continued on, but as a whole, the world seemed to be in a calm before a storm.

The Ut had mixed fortunes. On one hand, none could claim supremacy and advancement like they could. The Ut were lords and masters over the greatest empire under the Creator, subjugating all within their borders to the rule of the God King. A real infrastructure was developing; roads and highways were improved, the courier service was quicker than ever, and a new coinage, with the visage of the God King, was accepted even beyond the borders of the Shia. Slaves from Synt, Albast, and Scythe flowed in their markets, and a fleet was created. Unfortunately, there were problems. The millennia long war with the Nannuk continued, and no end was in sight. Few, if any, Nannuk chiefs would submit to Ut rule once more, and although they would take their gold to become temporary allies, it was common for them to raid their benefactors when the gold stopped flowing. Kanuka had a fanatical obsession with their homeland, disrupting construction of coastal fortifications, and usually held an advantage on the seas until their fleet was badly mangled by the Cayun. The war with Vanuka did gain some territory, but it came at the cost of great amounts of treasure and life. One God King, Meda IV, was even overthrown for his defeat on the field of battle, one of, if not the first God King to suffer that fate. An ambitious project to establish buffer states was met with mixed results. When the Ut army was present, the land was controlable, but when the mainstay of the army left, raiders from the north and east would burn the kingdoms down. Though the raiders have yet to enter the Shia itself, it seems it’ll only be a matter of time.

The Nannuk were once again, children of mixed fortune. Their raids brought great wealth and glory to their people, and it seemed to show that though the Ut were masters of their homeland, the Nannuk controlled the waves. Raiders even took several islands of Cayun, and Vanuka was quite successful against the towns away from the coast of the Cayun. And though the Nannuk will be remembered for their spirited defense of their homelands with bands of families using hit and run tactics against the Ut, a disaster befell them in the Fourth Era. Their war against the various Cayun holdings going well, the Nannuk were preparing an armada to take some larger holdings of the Cayun. Unfortunately, the fleet of the Cayun had been positioned to defend against them, and the Battle of the Nannuk Sea resulted. Nearly a hundred ships were lost, and when the battle was over, the Cayun showed clearly that they have been, and still were, the masters of the sea. The Nannuk retreated from many of their Cayun possessions, and their decline continued when Vanuka, lacking proper equipment, could not conquer the walls of Çekmek. When the Ut seized the most valuable lands of Vanuka, even the recovery of some of their ancient homelands could not soothe the soul of the Nannuk. Many displaced by conquests of the Ut, a new kingdom to the south was formed, where the Nannuk once more seek to prove that they are, without doubt, the greatest warriors under the sun.

The Cayun seemed to be more prosperous than ever though, even if they did have to go through much suffering to receive it. Their ships went further west to the shores of Synt, and new colonies were settled by the growing population in the homeland, fleeing from the Vanukans in some areas. Though they could buy the loyalty of Scythe horsemen and Nannuk clansmen, it could not save the interior, though the stone walls protected their coast. One colony was completely overrun in the form of Rivayet, with the Albastians conquering the new possession. With threats from all sides, the Cayun realized unity was their only form of safety, and became Çekirdeksel, uniting in the face of opposition. With this unity, they were able to maintain their empire and the internal security, with a fine establishment of property rights and elected governance. The discovery of the Synt and the colonization there created many ports for the growing slave trade, and the Cayun shipped beings from all over the empire to the cities of the Ut, their great embargo over. With the wealth generated from trade, the great temples of the Cayun became possible, and great cities and monuments were built in lands belonging to the Cayun. Yes, the money was flowing in nicely.

While the Cayun picked up more trade with the Ut, the Turyline declined a bit in their merchant economy. A growing belief of the superiority of the Turyline culture and the inferiority of others made the merchants a tainted class, due to their contact with outsiders. However, it did cause for more demand for expansion to take lands away from outsiders and place them under a better ruler.

The Scythe continued a quiet expansion of land and slavery, though profits roared in to the King’s coffers, with Scythe Horsemen in high demand as a staple of any army of the Cayun.

The Masquere were finally united unto one nation. The Republic of Albast, using bully tactics, better warriors, easier supply lines, and more soldiers, were able to overcome all rivals on the peninsula, even the Cayun, and have now united their people, and a small Cayun minority, though difficulties definitely remain in keeping everyone in line. They have entered trading relations with the Cayun and the Ut, though they do little except supply slaves to the Ut.

The Syntian have become quite powerful in their region, and the mighty King Gurgn of Sy was able to conquer not just the Syntian city states, but also any other tribe that stood in his way. His heirs continued his conquests, and soon most of the area had to answer to the Kingdom of Synt. Powerful and unrelenting, the Synt have begun a trading relationship with the Cayun. The Cayun provide iron weaponry and crafted goods, and in exchange, Synt provides slaves from defeated tribes, making both parties very happy, though it remains to see whether Synt will allow the Cayun to continue to hold the coastal regions.

The Higelante continued their expansion through warfare and trickery, though the Kingdom of Scontia was able to fend off the worst of the attacks of the Thralingence, and have established a small but powerful kingdom on the island.

The Thralingence had at last mastered the art of horseback soldiers, and with this advantage, along with their own natural coldblooded warrior culture, almost none could stand in their way. However, there was still reeling from the disaster of the Third Age, and to the south, the Scontians too had horses. Battles were frequent, however they were often indecisive and would not settle anything of particular value.

The Nehiimet continued their expansion in their region with ease. Their obsidian weapons continued to give them an advantage over others, and in order to continue running the chiefdom efficiently, a new writing system was developed in what was becoming a very stable chiefdom.

Agriculture continued to develop in the kingdoms of the Psion. Though some sought to avoid the rule of the Kings, the quasi independent tribes always succumbed to the more powerful and more centralized kingdoms.

The Dominikans in the Huntra Union continued to explore the great ocean to see its wealth, meeting stronger tribes in the far north, holding islands with people already on them. In their homeland, the Dominika continue to try to rely on agriculture more, but it’s simply not enough to be solely agrarian. On the Great Land, the Dominikan are becoming less sea worthy, and more interested in exploring the vastness of the great land.

The Korowai tribes had begun developing stronger and more permanent homes. With the farming of yams and taro, the Korowai began settling down permanently in one place, as opposed to the more wandering Dominkans. Though they have yet to find anything stronger than stone that would be useful for tools, the Korowai are doing quite well in their own lands.

In Timor, the Shiba have begun to keep their enslaved victims. Using them to build areas for ships and soldiers, as well as their temples, the Shiba have actually begun to develop larger villages and towns, though they are still more dependent on fishing, trading, and war than anything else.

The Surnit’s division continued between Rilkas and Sillak. Though a flourishing of new Surnit art appeared, the two kingdoms seemed to be growing more distinct, and have taken to spread their nation in different areas. However, in honor of their past unity, Sillak refused to fight Rilkas for the most part, for the Kiman’s soldiers, by protecting Rilkas, by extension protected Sillak. Perhaps one day unity would not be completely out of the question…

With contacting the Surnit, the Sienna grew remarkably as a culture, though it was not always a positive thing. One on hand, writing was introduced to Erenak, which in turn caused greater efficiency in running the kingdom as a more centralized nation. However, with the development of a merchant class and towns that are dependent on trade, the Sienna that partake in trade have been seen as stealing the labor of the farmers and craftsmen, and in some areas, merchants have been attacked, setting them in a class lower than even peasants.

The Yu clans continued their infighting and trading, and their young men continued to die for it, though perhaps there will be no more Yu left if the fighting continues. Of all the cultures in the world, only the Yu have not had population grown in leaps and bounds like the others.

Relatively new to the area, the Herbians quickly showed themselves to be quite powerful. Using iron weaponry, the Herbians were able to crush the locals with ease, sending them south with stories of the Herbian conquerors and their horrid religion. Though initially divided, eventually one kingdom was able to unite their people, and the Kingdom of Hiberia was formed, much to the fear of the locals and the southerners.
The feared horsemen, the Almeks continued to best any and all they came across. Though some tribes actually stayed and were absorbed into the Almek culture, the majority of them fled south and west, actually causing problems with the Ut. The Almeks have continued their ways of war, yes. However, some have begun staying home and supplementing their hunts with agriculture. Though nothing close to a city has been founded by the Almeks, villages have begun starting, and with their horsemen now equipped with iron weapons, they could go far across the landscapes. Perhaps this will be the case soon enough.

The Taharnnen continued their inter cultural trades, growing closer to the chiefs they traded with. Eventually a loose federation was formed, seemingly for the purpose to continue to foster the trade that was the lifeblood of the Taharnnen tribes. Shark fishermen have begun using better ships to go further up the coasts, though nothing of interest, aside from sharks, has been noted.

The Abba continue to expand slightly, and with their growing bureaucracy, it has become harder and harder for the Eros to exert power over their subjects directly. Still, everything seems to be going smoothly with them.

Notes

The next update is 200 years, same type of stuff

@GamezRule, go for it

@Terrance, all others, I am limiting cultures to one to person, so I'm sorry Eltain, but I'm repossessing Yu if you wish to give up your old culture due to defeat/conquest/ect. though, I will accept a new culture

We are at approximately 800 BC, 2200 AC, or 1003 in the Ut calendar.

Let's have orders due Friday/Saturday, sorry very much for the delay

 

[ZeletDude]

yaya map

 

[Terrance888]

Culture Name: Tabansi
Core Value: Tradition
Location: Mali/Nigeria
Aggression:1
Expansion: 4
Cohesion: 3
Agriculture: 4
Sophistication: 3
Nation Names: Danasil, Sonasil, Banasil
City Names: Auyi-sit, Dani-sit, Soni-sit, Sano-sit, Bano-sit, Dari-sit, Katu-sit
Ruler Names: Auy-Gas, Dani-Buy, Son-Guy, Ban-tas, Kat-nas
Description: The Tabansi are a wide group of herders who recognize a single 'God King' among them in the ancient times. The God-King will uphold the rituals to balance the rain, the sun, and wind to secure their tenacious hold on the Sahel. They have over the generations recognized the futility of battle which only opens a crack for the desert to expand. Instead, they focus on their own piece within the puzzle and grow the best they can.
After two generations of prosperity, the small culture-group became large with bountiful harvests. Tribute flows into the granaries of the legendary God-King Auy-gas. He started the ancient tradition of mass migration: the granting of all the land a village can plow in one week at the edge of their former borders, and then placing the crowded interior villagers to the villages which migratory villagers eagerly left.This slowly beget the tradition of great expansion across the savanna.

Tabansi wasn't accepted?

 

[arya126]

Wait so map but no update ?

 

[Eltain]

And much confusion was had by the peoples of the Middle Earth.

 

[Terrance888]

If I don't get Tabansi in the update, I swear I will get a max Aggression/Cohesion/Agriculture/Honor/Horde and destroy Abba.

 

[GamezRule]

Could I start something in Northern Germany?

 

[Vertinari118]

Any ETA on an actual update Nuclear Kid now you've teased us all with the map?

 

[Nuka-sama]

Update is UP, sorry for the delay everyone

And yes GamezRule, go for it

@all Lurkers, I could use a civ in India/Egypt/Japan/China/Eastern USA/Mesoamerica if anyone's interested

 

[Eltain]

Give up the Ut? Never! Also, I kind of forgot to give Yu orders anyway. I kind of.. forgot about the Yu altogether. :0 So that's cool.

Also, 1003 UC. As for names for rulers/whatnot, vaguely Sumerian names are good, but I drew heavily on corruptions of achaemenid Persian names (except for xerxes. Never xerxes D:<). Meda IV's death will be included in the next installment of Ut history Nice update by the way.

 

[Nuka-sama]

The rough stat comparisons are up

 

[arya126]

Even thought we cannot contol a second culture directly, can we perhaps send you the details of a second culture we create,and it becomes an NPC culture, so that the map starts to fill up?

 

[Nuka-sama]

@Arya, I am going to start populating the world a bit more with other cultures, and if you see the Almek section you may know why
