Asia Minor

The Hittite Civil War was a period of total fear for anyone bordering the Hittites. Following the heroic (yet somewhat poorly-considered) last charge of King Mutwallis the Second, the Hittites realized that the king had no heirs. He was young, barely 30, and had reputedly refused to consumate his relationship with Queen Saparanola until the conquest of Egypt was complete.

For a few months, the nation remained stable. But as Egypt collapsed, the power-hungry claimants to the throne began to focus inward.

In the city of Hattusas, Vedeshes, (a cousin of the late King) Marnalis (Mutwallis' father-in-law), and Attalis (an influential advisor to and administrator of Mutwallis) became the three main contenders. While the three were civil with each other at first, while historians checked the legitimacy of their claims to the throne (relation, experience, and 'he promised me regency' respectively), Vedeshes shortened the process by killing Marnalis. Attalis managed to evade assasination, and fled to the north, where he raised an army. Fighting broke out over Northern Hatti, and neighbours turned their eyes hungrily to the staggering superpower.

Hatti may have collapsed completely had it not been for Tabarnalis, the General who had led the Egyptian campaign and was currently serving as its administrator. Fearing the imminent collapse of order in his nation, he abandoned the campaign into Upper Egypt and brought his great army northwards.

Under a less popular and capable general, the forces would have likely split up and joined the factions they believed to be the most righteous in the war. But the loyalty towards Tabarnalis was great enough to hold them together as a cohesive force.

Upon returning to Anatolia, the Hittite general found Attalis' forces on the verge of defeat by Vedeshes. Tabarnalis smashed through Vedeshes' forces in the Caucasus to make contact with Attalis. The general allied with the former vizier and self-proclamed Regent of Hatti -(That is, of until a suitable heir to the throne could be found, of course) to defeat Vedeshes.

The fight raged for several weeks in central Anatolia, but the professional forces of Tabarnalis and the militia of Attalis eventually outmaneuvered and overpowered the mercenary army of Vedeshes.

In Hattusas, (Vedeshes last holding) the nearly-defeated would-be King committed suicide with poison, but not before giving his army one last order:

Raze the City.

The mostly non-Hittite mercenaries complied, burning the city and smashing what remained. Their contracts fulfilled, they then looted the palace and left.

However, retrospect shows that they should have left sooner. For as the palace was being pillaged by the mercenaries, Attalis and Tabarnalis arrived. Horrified by the destruction, the two leaders of Hatti fought the mercenaries of the late Vedeshes to the death. The battle was quick, but the cost was high. The ancient capital of the Hittites was destroyed.

Following the end of the war, Tabarnalis was crowned King, for services to the country, his ability, and the deaths of most other heirs (mostly at the hands of Vedeshes). The fact that he was Mutwallis' second cousin didn't hurt. He married Queen Saparanola to reaffirm his ties to the royal bloodline, and began the reconstruction of Hattusas. Until the reconstuction's completion, the capital was temporarily moved to Alexandria (Tabarnalis' Center of Operations), which was renamed Mutwallia in the previous king's honour.

Despite this, he remained a general at heart. And in his absence, a new power had risen in Upper Egypt.

A Hittite General-King's life is seldom dull.

-As told to A Padic Scribe in Hatti

Mutwallia is now the new capital of a war torn nation. The Far location from the capital has made men in the Eastern Provinces rebel, and more lives are lost. However, with the Spartan-Athenian War of Greek Supremacy going on, this was to good of an opportunity to pass up. Tabarnalis gathered his War weary men to kick the Byzantine scum out of Anatollia once and for all. The Southern part was mostly unguarded, but the true aim to capture Adribnople failed, because Byzantium relied heavily on Adrinople’s Arsenal; The largest in the world, complete with 3,000 Spears, 1,000 Bows, 20,000 Arrows, and 10 prototypes of the new weapon from Malta called a “sword”. The Hittite have also started collecting a few from the generals they kill. Could these weapons that can cut through armor and spears like fruit be the new way of warfare?

(+Iron Age to Hatti, Byzantium/ - 140 Hittite Chariots/ - 200 Hittite Axemen/ -100 Hittite Spearmen/ - 500 Byzantine Spearmen)

The Middle East

The Padics dominate all of Arabia but Medina, as they continue their “noble” crusade across the lands. Padic Generals with precise orders from the Caliph quickly crushed the Persian troops, but they haven’t reached Parsagasde. It seems Zewat’s 8 year old Grandson (Zewat has reigned for 50 years+) will take the throne any day now.

(-1300 Padic Axemen/ -1000 Persian Spearmen/ -200 Persian Axemen)

East Asia

The 2750 year old TsingTao Dynasty has made her move. In a rapid Pincher like movement, Tao crushed Huang beneath its boots, capturing Nanjing in the process. The Tao are ready to ruled a “unified” China. The last piece missing is Dojang.

In India, Delphi is founded. It could be a place of Great Wealth one day

Africa

The Janjaweed rapidly expand, and all this new territory is Bringing Janjaweed much wealth and harvests.

(+1 Agriculture Economy/ +1 Economy Level)

The Republic of Carthage is invaded by Malta! The Malian army, with swords, were able to crush the puny Carthagian Army. The Republic holds tight, but they will fall.

(-100 Malian Sword Infantry/ -500 Carthagian Spearmen)

Greece

The Spartan-Athenian War of Supremacy has begun! The Spartans, fed up with Athens acting superior, declared war and tried invading. The Byzantines crushed Macedonia, and tried to attack Sparta’s unprotected back. Luckily, 2,000 Piotri (Macedonia’s UU, lightly armed Civilians) were able to hold off Byzantium, but it won’t be for much longer. Athens is under siege, only being saved by the Rhodesian Navy’s supplies. The Athenian Soldiers are like teenagers; they talk a big game, but all they can do is run away. The City of Athens will fall in a year though, due to lack of Supplies

(-1200 Macedonian Piotri/ -400 Spartan Hoplites/ -600 Athenian Spearmen/ -500 Byzantine Spearmen)

Europe

Rome has captured the Celtic capital! With Celtia being pummeled in the North by Gaul, Rome made a heroic March catching the Celts completely off guard! While Roman Calvary may not be the best, they did an effective job in slaughtering the Celtic army.

(-1 Celtic Confidence/ - Celtic Army/ - 200 Roman Horsemen/ -500 Roman Spearmen)

Bad news though: Every Roman Ship is residing in either Malian ports or at the bottom of the sea. When Rome says “Crime doesn’t pay” Malta says “**** you, look at all our $***!” And what’s worse, Rome has lost Spain to Malta.

(-Roman Navy/ -10 Malian Trimenes)

Spotlight (Crappy)

“This new metal: What is it?” Supreme Ruler Hataku of Malta

Malta has been looking everywhere to put wealth into: Art, Navy, Science. Well that funding paid off. In Spain, a new metal called Iron was found by the coast. Thousands of Malians came, looking for fourtune. It is a hard metal, and it didn’t take long for people to make into a weapon. By 263 B.C., all Nations in the Med Sea now had Iron Weapons

(+Iron age to Malta, Gaul, Rome, Hatti, Byzantium, Macedonia, Rhodes, Athens, Sparta)

Haha, updated!
 
Nice update, but it's missing a few things I asked for, namely my naval actions and efforts to keep Egypt unstable. What happened regarding them?
 
To Malta:
We wish to state Our only further expansion tot he south at this point is the inclusion of the northern coast of Iberia into our nation. we also state taht we reconize you will control the rest of Iberia, should things continue the same. shall we formilize our borders?
We are also willing to offer our services to you, for the right price.

To Rome: Celtia Is dead, and barring a change of situation, Our borders will not be extended in your direction.
as we did in your war with Celtia, We are also willing to offer our services to you again, for the right price.
