In America an old war ends as a new one opens. Following the peace of Canada the Canadians and Hondurans have united to attack a old friend of Canada, the Delaware. Utilizing the Canadian navy the Hondurans attacked the coastline of Delaware and despite their small numbers were able to use the surprise of the attack to their advantage and carve a respectable beachhead. The most devastating blow however, comes from the three pronged Canadian attack. Fierce battles rage near the Great Freshwater Lakes as frontier Delaware troops are fighting a desperate battle against the Canadian advance. A whole unit of 1500 Delaware remains trapped behind enemy lines in the region as the rest of the Delaware army is fighting on the main front of the Ohio River. Most disturbing of all for the Delaware is the assassination of their leader and two top military commanders at a summit to discuss defense plans. No one knows if this is a foreign power or the work of an ambitious General inside Delaware that promptly seizes control of the government following the High Chief’s death.

The Cossacks and Bulgars continue to press the Huns back. However, instead of fighting the attacking Cossacks and Bulgars the Huns have instead decided that they are too powerful to fight and have decided to migrate west, attacking and destroying the Scythian people. This results in huge gains for the Cossacks and Berbers as their power extends as far as they can supply their armies.

Mongolian armies stand idle as their communication lines seems to have been disrupted by local Chinese partisans. Due to this inactivity the Japanese take advantage of the situation and attack Mongolian held China. They gain a large amount of land and suffer few casualties mostly due to the lack of Mongolian occupation troops and Chinese assistance to the Japanese. However the Chinese do make a concerted push for their most prized northern city of Peking and succeed in retaking it after suffering huge casualties. The Mongols suffer a moderate amount but the local commander chooses to not sacrifice men for land. The massively fortify the city to prepare for any counterattack and set up secondary forts along the primary accesses of attack for the expected Mongol push. The recapture of the city does reinvigorate the Chinese populace and they garner more recruits for their armies.

In Borneo the war stagnates as equal numbers on both sides are unable to advance more than a few miles into each others territory before a massive counterattack comes from the other side. It seems that the massive numbers of men are limitless on both sides and that there is no end in sight for the war. Men who have been fighting for generations are growing tired of the war and are content to languish behind the lines in a vain hope to escape death. Many of the front line Geystral troops openly abandon Hono-Shintoism in favor of Buddhism from the mainland and try to avoid their military duties. One bright spot for Geystral however, is the invention of a repeating crossbow, one that can fire up to 6 bolts in a 15 second period, and astonishing number. Geystral and Kearsut also make contact with the Philippines across the sea.

In South Africa the Zulus push north and encounter next to nothing. The enemy that they had been fighting mysteriously disappears, leaving no trace of their whereabouts or who they may be….

Spain grants limited autonomy to the Visigoths to practice their new religion. They are independent in all but name, with the power to do anything domestically and only being unable to conduct foreign policy. However the Vandals are attacked with a fury as no quarter is given on either side in the brutal battles.

Greece, Rome, and Egypt all convert to Christianity and Greece moves its captial to the religious center of Byzantium.

Satavahanihara crushes the Republican revolt and in concert with the Magadah and the Gupta carve up the Indian Subcontinent into a new political reality.

I'm going to update the NPC stats now as i didn't get time to last night. Also in the next update i will be taking some irrelvant NPC's out, mostly in America and Africa. Can i trust that you guys won't get stupid and start sending colonists everywhere in the hopes of gaining more land? B/c i want you all to remember that just b/c it's white on the map doesn't mean that there aren't locals!!!! If people start getting stupid then i'll just start whacking colonial expeditions until the Age of exporation and you'll all be screwed. For reference consult a contemporary map of your region to see just how much colonization there was.... Not much. I'm trying to keep this realistic so there WON'T be huge empires anytime soon. So suck it up and keep that in mind. Any questions can of course be referenced to me, as always.
 
The Tales of Singli continued…

Singli was soon on his way, with a load of gold in his back sack. It weighed quite a lot, and he had trouble holding onto the sack whenever he had to ascend or descend a staircase, ramp, or other inclines. The city’s rising and falling sectors did not help him much.

He was on his way to the dockyards are the south east of the city. Here he would purchase a ship and a crew for an adventure that he had not known since he was a kid exploring the neighboring forest. Meanwhile, the streets were very crowded now. Sweaty people passed by him, most were forced to bump shoulders or run into each other due to the density of the city. Some were pushing carts, in which they were given full priority on the right side. Once a cart almost trampled Singli, but he was able to stop the cart with his hand and the old man continued around him.

The streets soon grew larger, the density began to spread out, and the air became more breathable. He knew this was the sign of getting leaving the downtown area, and approaching the docks, which were almost deserted this time of day. Most shipments came in at night under the cover of darkness from thieves that would try stowaway. The harbor at Anuradhapura was still not notoriously large because it was not a seaside city, rather it was connected to sea through a system of dikes and canals, making it almost only for the rich who could afford such passage.

Anyhow, the smell of water soon filled the air, and the loud chattering and murmurings of the city died out, and the air was left empty for the thoughts of Singli. Finally able to clear his mind, the only sounds were that of the gentle waves lapping up against the wooden docks, and the metal chains that seemed to clang tenderly against one another when lifted by the water. A small round hut lay to the south east of the harbor, and Singli guessed it was the shop. After stopping for a brief second to take in the sweet air of the river water, he picked up his sack and continued on to the round stone hut that was tucked nicely along a grove of trees.

Knocking gently upon the wooden door, an old man with a noticeable long white beard answered, his eyes seemed to cover most of his face as they drooped to his chin.

“Hello young man. Is there something I can help ye with?” he asked calmly, his eyes attracted the gaze of Singli as he became lost in the emptiness. Singli dropped his bag and offered his hand for a shake.

“Good day, sir. I am looking for the shop of this harbor. Might this be it?” he asked hopefully. The man smacked his lips together, and formed a smile that seemed it could ride right off his face if the ears did not stop it. His deep blue eyes suddenly lit up with a passion that only Singli’s lust for adventure could equal. Meeting with his hand, the old man shook his head violently.

“Yes, sonny, you’ve come to the right place. Come in, won’t you!” he said while slowly opening the door as it squeaked on its iron hinges. “I have not have many guests lately, please excuse the mess, won’t you?”

“Why, yes of course,” Singli answered, noticing right of way that the store was actually converted into a home. It was still evidently a shop though, composing of four counters along the far wall that displayed examples of items that were probably stored in a back room somewhere. A large sign in the far right corner labeled ‘Used Ships’ caught the eye of Singli, which his legs soon followed. Underneath the sign were five papers with drawings of various ships. Each had a price at the bottom corner. As Singli began to shift through the drawings, the old man crept up along his side.

“Ahh, planning an adventure are we?” he asked kindly. Turning to meet his stare, Singli responded, “As a matter of fact I am. What could you recommend me, sir?”

“Why all these are fine, fine ships. But should you wish for an adventure outside our island, I suggest the Sereti. She’s a fine ship, sturdiest bows in the North Sea. Should you like to see her?” he asked, eagerness flooded his face.

“I should see why not. She is here, in this harbor?” Singli asked.

“Yes, yes of course. Come, let me show you,” the man said, leading the way out the squeaky door and onto the dock. It was full of various triremes, most of which were probably private. But there was one that stood out.

“There she is,” he said, pointing to a beautiful ship that anchored at the end of the dock. It was clearly larger then the rest, and much more colorful then most of the ships Singli had ever seen. The wood of the ship was a dark brown, a sign of strength and endurance. A pair of sails sprouted from her center, one small and one large. On board, the ship had a large hull, capable of easily storing every man needed, and a hefty cargo. Upon sight, Singli immediately fell in love.

“I wish to purchase this ship.” He said, being unaware of the voice leaving his throat.

“Very good choice.”

ORDERS
-Begin hiring more educators to work as priests within the many temples spread throughout Sinhala to raise education. Two economies shall be spent on this, raising it twice.
-Commission more army and move them to the Indian continent (1 economy).
-Start official trade with Arabia if accepted.
-Station 200 men and 20 triremes to protect Socotra.
-Enact SOCOTRA PROCLAMOTION as said in the post below.
 
SOCOTRA PROCLAMATION

Upon approval of the Senate, the Socotra Proclamation herby grants the island of Socotra province-hood in the nation of the Republic of Sinhala. Thereby the people of Socotra will elect a representative to serve in the Senate in Anuradhapura every three months.

Purpose
Socotra will become the Official Trading Post of the Sinhalese administration of African Trade. Here, upon this island, a trading port will be constructed large enough to handle the largest volumes of trade the known world has yet to see. Since it is expected a large population of merchants will end up settling on the island itself, the Senate will provide proper funds to make the cities upon Socotra modern, healthy, appeasing to the eye, and efficient. Law forces will also be present, as well as a military base and port for the Sinhalese army and navy.

Process
Every three months, a shipment of Sinhalese goods, measured to meet the demand of traders and then doubled to create a surplus, will be sent to the island. The goods will then be dispersed among the African countries in smaller fleets; the merchandise from Africa will then be brought back to Socotra. The fleet that arrives every three months will then carry these African merchandise back to mainland Sinhala and Ceylon for extensive trade. Socotra will also serve as the main hub for all African traders who are not able to reach mainland Sinhala or Ceylon.

Establishment
The port-city of Zandri will be established at first, and when demand is high enough, a second port will be established.

Signed,
Rashi, Consul
Senators of Sinhala
 
To Arabia
From Sinhala

We have been distant aquaintances in the past, what is wrong with improving this relationship? Two friends who work together can greatly help shape this world into a friendly world that is acceptable to you and me. If we begin extensive trade, the profit accumulated from the trade can greatly expand the economies of our great empires. So how about it, shall we begin extensive trades by opening a trade route? I am sure your people will not mind Sinhalese goods flowing through your markets just as much as my people won't mind Arabian.
