Sorry- i was away on vacation. I should be able to submit orders late tonight.
Briefly though-
1.
Rivayet continues to expand into the western Med. islands, iberia and tunisia to develop fishing, mining and trade enclaves, also spreading our faith among our people and expanding it westwards.
Cekmek expands inland to develop mining and herding and leatherworking and specializing more and more in the skills of our ancestors and the Scythe- horsemanship. Exposure to our neighbors mayybe make us more interested in stonework and fortifications also.
Guzel Kari develop better relations with the Ut and others, trading, etc. Expand into the northern agricultural coasts of Libya and develop more herding and agriculture there while mainting trade within our cultlure and with others.
2. generally continue to develop our various industries- each enclave/town specializing more and more and making trade between us veyr important as each town takes advantage of our economies of scale by specializing but that also makes us more reliant on domestic trade
3. Develop stoneworking and religion in parallel- making bigger and more impressive temples. with our sophistication and cohesion and our history of stonework, start developing aqueducts and potentially the "arch".
4. continue to develop a tradition of inquiry and scientific exploration and expand it to the philosophies and natural sciences. (continued from last turn) - try to make order from chaos- and master the celestial sphere by naming stars and planets and understanding their rotation- further developing our already excellent navigation skills.
5. use our very high cohesion to attempt to elevate a 'king of kings' from the three nations and unite the three nations as one confederacy so each land has its own under king, the king of kings rules all. We do have very high cohesion (5) and we have focused on bureaucracies pretty consistently so hopefully this will be possible.
6. continue our focus on a very strong navy, again making use of foreign marines to bulk our ranks.
In the face of Masquere offensive, take to the seas and defend from there. They may control the lands but we will control the seas and we will make hit and run counter-attacks using mercenaries.
In the anatolians, in the face of Terrance's aggression, make use of the rough terrain in the west and build heavy fortifications, force the battle into one of long attrition and make use of our acccess to the sea to resupply and import war-technology to defend ourselves (archers? naptha?)... while we are not aggressive, we do have other strengths (access to new ideas from liberty, cohesion, sophistication) to help defend ourselves.
On the high seas don't back down one inch. These seas were ours 1000s of years before them and our sailors and shipwrights are some of the best in the world.
Against all aggressors, make use of our great cohesion to pull our forces together into central command structure and if the enemy can be divided (low cohesion), then bribe some tribes against the others to help shift the balance in our favor.
Make friends with the enemies of our enemies, even minor tribes and support them to divide the enemy forces.
